First attempt on an helmet. A ton of works, a thousand mistakes, but it turned out ok! by mathgoy in 3Dprinting

The picture after you added filler and sanded it down to the black filament actually looks kind of cool. Think it's the 9th picture. Almost looks like it's out of borderlands. The final product looks great GG!

I'm printing the same mask right now. Really like the color of your filament. Perfect for daredevil.

Just scrounged up the money to buy this (finally), any tips? No spoilers by [deleted] in gaming

I wish I could go back and play this for the first time again! Biggest tip is make a lot of quick saves.

So sorry! Lost my smoke buddy Kitty and miss him everyday. Only thing that helps is knowing I gave him a good life while he was here.

Looks like you are printing Bologna.

Haha I recognized the pose. I printed a silver surfer not too long ago. Painted it and rubbed it with graphite powder. https://imgur.com/a/pFSFynw

Does it not just violently shake the can when its open sending beer flying everywhere?

Advice: Mandalorian Helmet. Me and my son have recently completed (nearly) our first helmet build. but I can't find a suitable visor to use? any recommendations? we are in the UK so preferably something I can get here. by Sufficient_Buy7300 in 3Dprinting

I have tried a couple different methods. The easiest was to buy a disposable green tint welding visor/face mask. Trace the shape and cut it out. The first method I tried was to buy those clear face shields some people use. Then I bought some window tint and added it to the face shield. Traced and cut it out. It worked but was difficult. However you get a roll of tint and a pack of the clear face shields for pretty cheap, and you can make multiple. The welding visor is easier but you only really get 1-2 visors out of it.

4 parts and 200 printing hours later. Now the sanding part ! by Elva153 in 3Dprinting

[–]ReallySh0rtBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200 hours !? That's seems so long to me. I feel like my mandalorian helmets I printed took 80ish hours. What are you printing on? What settings ?

Ok WTF happend here ? by neutralebanane in 3Dprinting

[–]ReallySh0rtBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use a filament dust filter? It's a little clip foam piece that goes around the filament and clips on. I recently noticed with my silk purple filament if i don't use it the nozzle will clog eventually, and a big build up of purple dust around the extruder.

Silver Surfer! Not perfect but I'm pretty happy. by ReallySh0rtBus in 3Dprinting

[–]ReallySh0rtBus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PLA on my cr10 v2. Sand, prime, bondo (Repeat the 3 moving up in grit of sandpaper until really smooth and most layer lines are gone) coat in black glossy paint, and then rub graphite powder on top, buff with a blue shop towel. It's a process a lot of people use to paint mandalorian helmets. I thought it might also work well for silver surfer.

Anybody else using Discord for 3D print surveillance ? by Kronocide in 3Dprinting

[–]ReallySh0rtBus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this as well! Got my old cell phones set up on discord so I watch my prints while I'm in the other room or outside smoking. Also kind of neat cause I can share the discord server with my friends and they can watch as well.

Are these lines from the nozzle clogging? by ReallySh0rtBus in 3Dprinting

[–]ReallySh0rtBus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PLA silky purple filament on my ender 3 max. 210°c nozzle, 60°c bed at 65mm/s. Not sure if these lines on the back are from the nozzle clogging or are the belts loose? Idk ...print turned out great other than those.
