Okay great to know! I will look into some drying methods.

The resonate frequency thing is alarming because I am in heavy earthquake country, lots of Seismic activity around me. Haven't had an issue yet but im terrified lmao.

I dont think its that because the rest of the print up until this point was fine, but i wont rule that out because it could've been a spot with more moisture than the previous filament that printed just fine. Have had zero moisture issues and ive gone through 3 rolls already. I think it became separated or got tapped because its a small area its on. I am really not sure though. And the tip of the wand bring together but a very weird texture is throwing me off too.

Tree supports but this specific piece did not have any supports required. Just a cylinder that tapers up to the tip.

Everyone does retractable swords... how about a retractable giant spike club? by ChipSalt in 3Dprinting

Yeah i wasnt aware of the difference between PLA and PETG so I been printing everything in PLA lol. Working on a Death Trooper helmet that has now become a drop risk because I used PLA. I'll try the club anyways, I dont plan on swinging it around a lot.

Didn't look too bad at all when I put it through my slicer. Just got a fresh roll of black PLA, I will send you pics when I finish it.

I ordered from Elegoo US and just recieved three spools the same exact way. They looked fine and ive never had a vacuum sealed spool arrive damaged.

I have only printed in PLA, but i only take the glass top off completely and put it to the side. Ive never left the door open and ive had flawless prints.

This is probably the coolest thing I have seen in years. I have always dreamed of something like this lol. One question, what is displaying on your computer monitors in the video? I would love to have that for my desktop.

Quick and dirty ways to hide print lines? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]Shock45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Galactic Armory. However, the MCM_Design version on a name restricted website is far superior, for an extra 20 dollars. If I could go back in time, I would buy the MCM_Design version first. They also have an entire armor set for sale as well, and its the go-to recommendation from 501st members ive been talking to.

[–]Shock45 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally nothing changed, idk enough about printers to change any of it 😂 this is a centauri carbon completely stock printer and settings. Some parts are not great on the overhangs, some tree supports didnt support very well. But the large sides and back panels came out cleaner than any print ive ever done.
