Another great print job from my CR-10...

[The Hat]

Here is my latest project just off the CR-10, I made it in 3 pieces, the top and bottom trays were done first and second, then the legs later, now that it’s finished, I figure I need a second one, this one is nowhere big enough for all my pgi-9 carts.

I also tried the glass vegetable chopping as a platform, it’s made from something like harden heat resistance Pyrex glass and takes a long time to heat up.


The glass surface is very rough, and my print project stuck to it like glue, and when the glass had cooled down the project had released itself without me having to pull on it, I’ve have to go shopping for one of my own, the misses wants her glass board back...

Handy dandy cartridge rack. Nice.

I think the cooking motif of the Mrs' glass board is perfect for cooking up some plastic bits and bobs with your printer.

Do you mean you don't need to use hair spray on it?

 

[Redbrickman]

Dunno why you need so many carts as you are always printing with plastic these days

Did you design this yourself? What design tool do you use?

I still use Hair spray but use this stuff also, its 3Dlac Adhesive, the hair spray is more of a gel and needs a little longer time to become sticky, the 3Dlac is instant drying, the roughen surface certainly works better for adhesion.

Dunno why you need so many carts as you are always printing with plastic these days

I have 3 printers that use all the same cartridges, so I need up to 10 replacements at a time, that is when I actually print these days.

Did you design this yourself? What design tool do you use?

I can never find anything readymade that is best suitable for conversion, all the STL files I find can be altered in height and width but no more, so I’ve resorted to slowly learning how to use SCAD, basic shapes are easy, but the complex shapes still defy me...

Yes, I use SCAD too, for basic shapes also. I find it easier than most of the others, though it's limited if you want to create the pretty pictures some of the others will do. But I don't need to do anything too complicated. I can't imagine why I would want to print one of these SCAD linear_extrudes
