Having a go at 3D design and printing with Anet A8

I got my First 3D printer a few weeks ago (Anet A8).
And thought i would try a few simple designs i whipped up and see how they would print.
some are printed in draft quality just to see how it went.
I wish i could get my head around fusion as the shell tool would make my pods a much better design and i could make the rear of the pod funnel down to the motor mount (more streamlined).

Have not tested my last design yet as it's a long print and not really what I need.

I fixed the stringing issue (retract setting)

I would like to see more flying wing pods others have designed but there isn't to many about.
I have a pod design in my head that would be perfect for my flying wing that i build and fly but don't yet have the cad skills to get it how i want it.

I have a A8 too, I will soon be making a flying wing with a 3d printed electronics pod. I don't know exactly when but it should come within a month hopefully.
Good luck with your printer, I did a fair amount of upgrades on mine but now it works perfectly!
You can PM me if you want to know about the upgrades and stuff.
