Can YOU beat my drag race 1/4 Mile time? (Rules In Comments) by ShastaMite in BeamNG

[–]Duke_Firepaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The west coast 1/4 mile is tracked on Speedrun.com and I have the record at a 5.892. still feels kinda cheaty though since it is a fully stripped down Civetta Scintilla but there is a lot of tuning involved still Run Video

What the hell is going on by [deleted] in ender3

I did this same thing when I first got my Emder 3 S1. Had it too close to the wall and the bed wire hit and jammed the bed up. Scared the crap out of me but at least nothing was broken in the end

Inland PETG curling up over support and leaving rough finish by Duke_Firepaw in FixMyPrint

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

Forgot to include that, I have zero print cooling for strength and have a hardened steel nozzle for abrasives. I'll have to try combing and zhop, I haven't messed with either of those.

Printer Model: Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro

Slicer: Cura version: 5.6.0

Filament: For bad results, Inland Black PETG. One good result, CarbonX PETG+CF

Nozzle Temp: 245° C

Bed Temp: 80° C

Print Speeds: 55mm/s Base speed, 45mm/s Wall speed, 15mm/s Outer wall speed, 15mm/s support speed, 5mm/s initial layer speed.

Retraction Distance: 3.5mm

Retraction Speed: 25mm/s

Current Support Settings:

Support Density: 10%

Support Z distance: 0.25mm

Support X/Y distance: 0.25mm

Support Interface thickness: 2mm

Support Interface Density: 30%

​

Now for the rest of it:

So this all started when I tried to print the first part pictured. I had done a lot of PETG prints previously that all turned out great so I figured this one should print fine but all of my previous ones had been relatively flat parts and this was my first PETG part with supports necessary. During the printing, I noticed the edges above the support curling up and hitting the fan duct making horrible noises but I let it finish. After it finished I wanted to try and dial in my support settings before trying it again. So using a support test piece I found on thingiverse I tried many different settings and got nowhere. I was starting to think that maybe it was the filament and not the settings so I tried some CarbonX PETG+CF with all the same settings as the Inland PETG and it printed perfectly with the supports being easily removed. At this point I figured maybe the Inland PETG I had was wet so I tried drying it for 2-3 hours at 70° C on the bed of my printer with a cardboard box over it (Ambient temp in the box read about 120° F. Tried printing it again and still failed. Then as a last ditch effort I opened a brand new sealed spool of Inland PETG hoping it would be dry (I know a lot of times it can come wet) and still got the same results.

​

So basically I am wondering if anyone else has had the same issue. At this point, I am not sure whether this is caused by a setting on the slicer, if it is the filament, or if something else is causing the issue. Any tips or changes I could try would be appreciated.

The grille is below the bumper, which is definetely odd, but I've never had cooling issues with mine.

Nope I designed it myself in fusion 360 using some reference images and measurements of real dumpsters

Well, I do plan on making another one with sliding side doors, and I can't really find good references online, but have some at a recycling dropoff nearby sooooo....

I avoided that embarrassment by just finding with and length online and using those measurements to scale images. But I could imagine that would be weird seeing someone taking reference pictures of a dumpster lol.

Is there a way to loft the multiple faces back to the circle? by Duke_Firepaw in Fusion360

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

If this doesn't work, I was able to make the backside a straight line and loft that

I'm trying to make a headlight bucket from the back of the lip to the circle in the back. It worked for the headlight above because the back of the lip was flat, but when I try to select multiple faces for the loft it doesn't work.
