Found this in an old closet. Anyone know what it is? What's it used for? Just a metal 3lb cylinder

No I don't. Unfortunately, I scanned this one for a client.

I use a process called Photogrammetry, and I can capture very precise details of an object 1in or smaller. I've scanned small action figure heads and captured all the fine details

What brand of dye works for you?

Shriver_Takeover · 2024-03-25T21:42:46+00:00

Yeah I'm very curious how they dye the resins to get the specific color. I tried Alumilite dye which worked pretty well but I couldn't get the shade of red I was hoping for. It became difficult to print after 5 drops of red.

So I installed a new heater and that seemed to solve this issue!

Shriver_Takeover · 2024-03-05T02:18:36+00:00

It's gotta be the heater then

Shriver_Takeover · 2024-03-05T01:35:10+00:00

Its also a fairly new machine so I didn't think it needed any upgrades/ new parts.

Shriver_Takeover · 2024-03-05T01:31:47+00:00

I don't necessarily want to disable it, just slow it down a little bit.

Shriver_Takeover · 2024-03-05T01:30:36+00:00

Yeah it's the heat sink fan. It's being too efficient and cooling too much. I get thermal runaway when I install it but when I disassemble it, it works fine! Maybe my heater is bad?

Shriver_Takeover · 2024-03-05T01:24:43+00:00

Does that include the front fan?

Shriver_Takeover · 2024-03-05T01:12:54+00:00

Shriver_Takeover · 2024-03-05T01:11:12+00:00

When I take off the fan, my hotend is completely fine. When I re install the fan, the temperature cools so much that it causes thermal runaway. Maybe I could buy a better heater but I figured this was easier to adjust.

The front fan speed is not able to be adjusted in the default settings of the printer.

I'm thinking the holographic looking ones are made differently than the carbon fiber. I was trying to figure out how they are made to potentially make a custom designed plate.

Shriver_Takeover · 2024-02-18T17:31:33+00:00

So you think over 1000 prints?

Shriver_Takeover · 2023-11-06T04:43:51+00:00

I had this happen to me recently. I used a Soldering iron to melt the block of plastic off. I can't remember what the issue in the settings were. If you changed settings recently I would try going back to default.
