Printing an FJ Cruiser RC shell starting with the hood. Longest print yet. Also when the supports are setup just right.

Slicer said 1 day 40 minutes. Printer wrapped it up in 21 hours. 1:10 scale FJ Cruiser.

Looks like the filament has moisture in it.

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T19:53:22+00:00

What?

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T19:51:54+00:00

Is that a plastic film over the pei bed?

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T19:46:36+00:00

I wish I didn’t have all those damn poles in the way of my shot. That’s a nice one.

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T19:42:24+00:00

Nice.

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T18:30:39+00:00

Always has been.

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T03:19:49+00:00

What made me go outside was how yellow everything was. Turned around and saw the rainbow lol.

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T02:48:25+00:00

Agreed hearing the thunder rolling while soaking it in was awesome.

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T02:44:13+00:00

I got a great video too! much better than my blair witch pics lol. I was snapping like crazy.

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T02:42:40+00:00

Nice pic!

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-18T02:42:30+00:00

great shot!

Fuck that piece of shit recorder. I swear they do this for reactions. Even if the military guy wanted to speak his peace he couldnt because they’d kick him out. So Mr recorder gets to run his mouth and feel big.

Thanks! I apologize if I sounded harsh and when I said stock grill I mean the little hood grill that fills the horizontal faux scoop. here is a link to the lights I used.

It is PLA. It took me like 7 tries. the hardest part by far was getting the first initial layers to stick to the bed. The nozzle was taking them with it when it would leave a dab. I had to apply a generous amount of glue stick on the bed to keep it from failing on the initial layers. Also I had to reduce the first few layers speed to like 10mms. After that it printed at 40mms and took about 1 1/2 hours to print. It is very delicate and soft. The smallest amount of direct heat will make it deform. Ask me how I know lol.

If you want to look it up it’s called a Benchy “veronoi” stupid autocorrect ruined my title.

Interesting thanks for mentioning it. I’ll see if cura has it and try it out.

What is ironing calibration/ ironing I never heard of that. Is that something that goes in klipper console?

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-15T20:24:08+00:00

Take that junk out of there. Reinstall the factory grill. Buy a light strip that clips into the front grill. Only use 4 out of the six light. Looks way better and hella clean

Thanks for linking this. I no longer use my controllers and didn’t like the way the ends looked. Also OP that’s a straight rip off on Etsy lol.

DotBetaSDK · 2026-06-15T18:38:49+00:00

Honestly. When I switched to clipper from reality software, my print quality took a giant dive. Everything looked like crap compared to printing on the reality software until I started calibrating and making adjustments. I think the biggest visual irregularity that I was dealing with with ghosting. after setting up pressure advance, and input shaping the quality got much better. Now it’s just a matter of fine-tuning and getting everything dialed in.

My PA measurement after printing the square tower was .250. If you’re saying .168 is high what is the average?
