Any 3d or just not this 3d ?

That sounds about right. I am sure I may accidently see a few sunrises by getting absorbed in the project. I'll have to look back up and see what filaments people recommended. I am sure it was stated. And a big box huh. I can't just put it all on shelves for the cats to knock down?

Not necessarily a big box. Definitely need a box though. My robot print was spot on except where it was complicated. Then it's random spewing of filament and the whole thing went nuts.



I have no idea why it failed. It was just a print to make my greedy happy. Oh well. It's not worth pursuing and perfecting. I'll just find something else to print!

Way better! The way you wish you could pretend to dream like maybe you could almost fly like me!

Man, your right, I'm sorry I didn't think of it from your perspective. yeah, if I flew like you id make a boat too. I get it now.

@BATTLEAXE I was curious what program you use to design parts . is it free? id like to try learning to do it my self

It's a tried and true program called BrainBox, requires a pencil and a piece of paper lol

ill get one lol thanks

ill get one lol thanks

I am not fortunate enough to have a 3D printer, I wasn't good this year... or any year in the past... or plan to be in the future lol

Take a look at TinkerCad (free). Even a moron like me can use it with success.

I did a 16 hour stress test of a latticed bust. Honestly I'm impressed with it. I can count the strings on one hand. I think that's saying a lot, considering how complicated the print is.



The texture of the bust is rough, though. I've read that acetone can smooth that out. Is that true, and how do I apply it? Wouldn't it just melt the plastic?

My next print was an X-mount for our brushless motors. Pretty standard and pretty handy. I'm still trying to get that one off the bed.

That looks cool, Thingiverse?

That's good info. I don't think I'm ready for abs yet, though. I might experiment with the PLA and see what kind of effect I can get. The model came from myminifactory. It's a 3d scan of Sexy Cyborg.

well 3 days form ordering it and i have the printer setup and running. the first print had to be for my wife who did let me buy it. so, now that the cat is done ill make some exhaust pipes for my p-40 i am really impressed with the first print. not really knowing much it worked well. the part in hand looks better to me than the image in the photos. but still thought id share.

Congrats, man! I've been in that rabbit hole for days now. Your cat looks good!

So I wanted a spinner for my Mustang and did some searching. I found on thingiverse a spinner for FT warbirds, and it was made by @SP0NZ!

Pretty darn cool, huh!!

Then I wanted to print another figurine. This is what I got.



I was printing at .16 with 20% infill and had adhesion and supports enabled. Anybody got an idea what happened?

Looks like the nozzle may have knocked over one or more of the towers during a move to start another layer or between towers. you may try to enable z-hop. (see below) Or you could try to print the model on a raft instead of using a brim or skirt. the raft will hold the base to the build plate better.

on another note, here is the motor mount for my next build. Printing as we speak.

Dude - that is sweeeet! What is it for? I need a 3D printer!
