The wife got a new Dyson "Outsize Extra" vacuum. Printed a stand for the three Dyson accessories not accomodated by the wall mount. The asymmetric layout was to accomodate the one wider accessory.

I tried printing B&T G34 frame from SumOne.
Do NOT print it. He did not combine bodies, merely put them together. Looks fine in Orca, in Fusion I can see gaps about .5mm between the main frame and the rear part with optic mount. Main frame doesnt have a body to combine them |

I made my first "real" prints. Up until these, I only printed a couple test pieces and a few other little things from STLs I found online.
I bought a cop car recently and the lack of cupholders and center console storage was very annoying. I downloaded FreeCAD and, after a very steep learning curve, designed and printed these. The machine is a stock Ender 3 Max Neo. This blank space is where I wanted it to go. (Disregard the finger pointing, this picture was taken when I was searching for another one of those screw covers pieces)  Attached FilePrinted:  Attached FileInstalled:  Attached File |

Those turned out real nice. What material did you use? I'd had PLA parts warp bad in heat when I left them in my car.
I made some cartridge holders. Started with .22LR and .22WMR for my Super Wrangler, then scaled up the concept to .410, and again to 12 gauge. Retention is provided by a piece of vinyl tube that interferes with the cartridge holes.  Attached FileI also made some strap guides for a DIY chest pouch. Since there wasn't much filament left, I just ran off a hand full of the guides to use the rest up.  Attached FileOne thing I learned from this latest round is that it is nice to have some smaller parts loaded up on the card to use up small quantities of remaining filament. I might set up an extra card that just has those small files loaded just for that purpose. I hate throwing away usable filament, but I also hate finding out the hard way that I didn't have enough to complete the part. |

I tried my hand at some acetone vapor smoothing for an ABS part I printed at work on a stratasys machine. Turns out the filament is some weird hybrid ABS stuff that does not smooth very well at all.
On the plus side, I figured out how to make parts have the consistency of modeling clay Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Gingerbreadman: I made some cartridge holders.

The carbon media chamber is secured by another slide in lid. The heating elements sit in the exhaust path on standoffs with spacers between the two for a gap.

Fair warning, it uses a couple of custom PCBs, and the files are there for those as well to have them made. There is also a list of most of the purchased parts, but I haven't gotten to any assembly instructions yet. It's somewhat straight forward, place some heatsets, solder some wires, and glue down some of the PCBs into place. The step file is there too if you wanted to mod it, and also a link to the instructions on setting up the Rocket AP to work as a mesh radio. |

I finished up a few rock dragons and dragon eggs.
They turned out well using the Inland rainbow PLA. It is time to get the slicer out and start to go to town on yet another printer upgrade for me. Last time I did this I learned my lesson in the quality settings and add just a touch more infill. I have about 6 parts finished for the next upgrade cycle. This time I will be upgrading my last remaining Prusa MK 3 to the new Mk 4S. The hardware should ship in about a month. The big "thing" is there is a new high flow print head, cooling fan which will result in additional 25% speed bump using the high flow head. Oh; it should be able to work with 75% overhangs. So there will be a less needs for build supports. [added] - 70% overhangs seem to be near perfect, while 75% seems to work. NFC option with improved wifi module. I did see one speed test comparison with Bamboo Labs pushing to match the 70% overhang test print. It took a bit of tweaking, but the Bamboo Labs did get close to the same results; but took an additional hour time. 4hr print -> 5 hr used same STL file and re-sliced it used Bamboo Labs filiment for test. re-used said filiment on Prusa, and it worked fine at the faster speed. |
