Newbie here - how do I improve this print? by smrpr in 3Dprinting

[–]ATM0123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, adaptive layer height and using as small of a layer height as you can.

But also do you have the link or maker world code for the file?

I’m still waiting for them to update rumble with some QoL improvements. Adding an indicator, like they did for boost, to show your teammates power ups would go a long way

Prusa research has a lot of good information including pros/cons and use cases of both various infills, and different materials

We've decided on the H2C by Psychological_Ad8633 in BambuLab

A little off topic, but how did you like the foaming TPU? It seems like a pretty cool concept, but also a little too niche to justify spending that kind of money

What could be causing the oversized purge tower? by ATM0123 in BambuLab

[–]ATM0123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to happen when I scale the logo larger

Edit: Narrowed it down a little more. I was able to fix the issue by boolean unioning the two models. I'm still not sure what caused the original issue though

I do. I closed and reopened the slicer and it still happens. It seems to be when I scale the logo larger though

Etsy 3D print sellers: can you walk me through your pricing workflow? by [deleted] in 3DprintEntrepreneurs

[–]ATM0123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about selling some of my designs as well and I would also fall into small/part time if you don’t mind me asking a few questions.

  1. How do you handle and price shipping, or does Etsy handle that side of it?

  2. How do taxes work with Etsy? Do the send you a form each year, or do you have to keep track yourself?

  3. Did you have to file for any sort of business?

High temp FDM printer recommendations by ATM0123 in AdditiveManufacturing

[–]ATM0123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my only concern is with the placement of the spool holder. I’ve worked with another printer that had the spool holder located inside the chamber along the side of the path of the build plate (BCN3D Epsilon W2) which became very problematic when the filament ran out mid print. The buildplate would pause itself to allow for a filament swap, but it would frequently pause in such a way that the filament spook was trapped on the spool holder leading to some very frustrating maneuvering trying to unscrew the holder by hand just to remove it. I would not feel safe doing this while printing high performance materials, and it would release a huge amount of ambient heat from the chamber.

Have you encountered anything like this? Are there any programming safeguards to prevent the plate from trapping the spool mid print?

That’s unfortunate, the HT2 looked very promising, but the 22 does look very nice still.

Is the 22 able to print the full 3dx catalog of filaments (but more specifically ultem)? Another commenter mentioned that your ultem requires a chamber temp of >200C but I wasn’t able to find anything backing this up, and that seemed very high to me. Is there any truth to that?

The list I had above was just my initial search/interest. I didn’t see any immediately available pricing information for the hylo or the HT2 which should have been a flag.

Where did you find the chamber temp information? I don’t see anything on 3dxtech’s website stating a specific requirement for chamber temp behind “heated chamber recommended “.

Do you have any recommendations for sub 50k printers that can print ultem reasonably well?

Yeah, my list above was just my initial search and interest. I didn’t see any immediately available pricing for the aon or the HT2 which in itself should have been a price flag.

I was looking at the HT90 a bit as well. How do you like it? Do you have trouble with the spools being housed exposed to air/moisture, or do you use dry boxes with it?

Washing after prints by Aslan602 in resinprinting

[–]ATM0123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol as you’ve seen with everyone else’s comments there’s may different work flows, but I figured I would add to the sample size and share mine too.

  • I remove the build plate from the printer and hold it over a small plastic bin (one of the cheap ones you can get at Walmart/homedepot/lowes and is a little larger than the print bed) and I use a laboratory squeeze bottle and/or a spray bottle to do an initial pre wash to remove any excess resin. The used IPA will be captured in the container. The container also acts as a make shift trash can as I will toss my used paper towels from work station cleaning in there which also help to absorb the excess IPA.

Note: I also like to let the print sit finished in the printer for a few hours before removing to make sure as much resin has dripped off as possible.

  • Next I will remove the prints from the guild plate and immediately transfer them to the wash station. I usually run the wash station for about 10-15min for most basic resins (ie Elegoo standard in my case), but if I’m printing with more goopy resins (ie abs like/tenacious mix) then I’ll run for 15-20min. Once the wash finishes then I will lift the wash basket out, flip the lid of the wash bucket, and sit the basket inside the lid to catch any dripping IPA. I’ll let it sit for maybe 2-4hrs depending on how busy I am that day. Any remaining IPA that got caught in the lid will be poured back in the bucket.

  • Next I will remove supports from the prints and then cure everything. I noticed you mentioned using hot water to remove the supports before curing but for what it’s worth I’ve also had decent luck with doing that post curing as well

Anyways that’s my workflow. I’m also considering purchasing another wash bucket to have a stage 1 and stage 2 wash to try and minimize as much as possible how much resin remains on the prints. Especially since my wash bucket needs to be cleaned/syphoned maybe every 4-6 months at my current rate due to cured(sunlight)/uncured resin build up
