What did you print today?

Failed engineer here. Thinking the outside upper corners should have a circle added (if that fits under the jamb) and the angle from the block should reach back as high as it can.

 

lazy with circles on the wrong centre for... purposes

 

what's the reasoning? one of the corners hits the frame so one of those circles wouldn't work.

 

If it doesn't fit then that's what you got, but something about furtherest distance from the force is best resistance to it

 

No too shabby.

 

Other than the stand and axe the Toymakr3D Mecha King Kong is finally finished.
Wasnt happy with the orange so painted them with flouro orange mixed with mother of pearl
have to tighten up the ball joints in the ankles as they are fairly loose, nothing a bit of resin cant fix

 

Very nice! love the orange on the inside of the leg tops! might swap mine over one day feet are on wrong.....

 

Testing a clamp that can mount to tension rods. 4 of them to hold a Skadis pegboard.

 

hahahaha doh, didnt even notice...

So the MOAB Kickstarter has wound up, blaster files get released next month with hardware delivery in feb got to the 5th Stretch goal so hopefully a spent shell/link collector to save on clean up

 

LOL only some one who's built one would see it

OMG! thats good news on the MOAB ! be a fantastic project

 

Had this one sitting on the bench ready to go for a while, needed a quick motivational win. Shame about the ugly belly seam, should have printed it in one piece as the material texture is a nightmare to align patch but I'm happy overall.

 

Because I have the brain of a ten year old and a few m of filament left.

 

First time using petg, had some issues with the first layer but found that running it in silent mode(50% speed) for the first few layers did the trick

Base part for mecha King Kong and a moon lamp

 

The misleading thing I've found with PETG is theres two types - 1) normal everyday stuff that needs to be printed slower on fast printers like the Bambu, and 2) High speed PETG. If you've got the normal one then yep - definitely need to print in silent mode for it to flow as needed.

 

using the 2 diff types deff makes it a bit tricky with camo coloured blasters....

 

I love petg, I print nearly everything in petg, only problem is colours, if it had the same amount of range pla has, I won't touch pla.

Here's some old multicolor prints on the Kobra 3 in petg

 

Testing this clamp design.

 

Why's that ?
I'm still very new to this and have only printed PLA to date. Seems fine so far ??

 

It's not as heat-resistant as PETG, but I use both quite a lot

 

hahaha i am the same, dont touch PLA at all, PLA melts too easily up here in Darwin, only ever print with ABS. Have to print a "LOT" of shell casings and links for the MOAB blaster and they need to have a bit of flex in them so giving petg a go
