What Are You Printing Today?

Since last year, I’ve switched to using PLA+, its tougher than the normal PLA

PLA+ doesn't mean much. It is PLA with some additives. What additives depends on who made it. I bought a few cheap rolls of GooFoo PLA+ which I find to be pretty good. I also have some matte PLA+ from Tinmorray and a few colors of PLA+ from eSUN.

I gave into temptation and bought 10 rolls of Elegoo Rapid PLA Plus Filament Black:

Reviews online were pretty good and the price was phenomenal. I've been relatively happy with their filament.

... That said I haven't done any detailed tests or comparisons to know if it's any better or worse than all the other filaments I have.

Well don’t keep us in suspense any longer..

Make up a project that you did before, and do a comparison.. We’re all ears…

The new car has a keyless entry fob. If I attach it to a key ring or even keep it in the same pocket it is going to get scratched to hell. I wondered if I could find a cover or pouch to protect it. I found a half cover here which half protects it.

Then I thought most of the time I only really need a single yale key so I modified the cover to incorporate one. Printed in TPU.

My garden seat was looking a little bit old and tired so I pick up a new metal one at the local store, but on assembly it had a straight back on it, so up stepped my 3D printer to the rescue once again..

I was able to make a slight adjustment to the back angle, and with a few new drill holes it turned out perfect..

I decided it was time to give Baby Wilson a new face lift, he’s been around now for quite some time and was looking a bit tired..

So what do you Reckon ?..
This was back in 18..
This was when I put him in his new position to make way for the many 5 lamps that were coming..
And this is Him now, the base and the globe are the only originals..
P.S. Ted managed to stay out of the Pic..
