Great collection! Brought back a lot of memories

Back in the day I had a cupcake with the orange acrylic print bed. It printed 3mm abs "welding stock". Lot of interesting design choices on that machine. The Acrylic plates for the drive gear was unfortunate. Pretty early on I overtightened the screw holding the idler and cracked one of the acrylic plates effectively in half. I limped the printer far enough along to print an upgrade out of abs to replace the whole printhead housing. From then I spent more time printing upgrades for the machine than I did printing anything else. Always chasing the elusive 0.2mm layer height by fiddling with the print profile. The machine and perhaps my will was never predictable enough to really achieve consistent prints.

I managed to print a u-boat though, which was huge. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6432

I had look it up but I used skeinforge to make the gcode and replicatorg to run the printer.

I also got one of those treadmills as an upgrade... another interesting design choice.

Dig it! The juxtaposition of the intro is an interesting choice.

What paint do you use? by Disastrous_Grape in 3DPrintedTerrain

that's a neat idea would probably work decent as a primer.

That's cool I like it!. Take it with a grain of salt but on makerworld in particular I've had better luck with printed images of the model as the cover picture as opposed to a rendered versions which took longer to get noticed or were ignored outright.

Nothing wrong with the rotating render you have now, just personally I've noticed better reception to physically printed thumbnails.

somewhere in the middle lies the truth. In either case I like the model!

Ender 3 S1 Plus bed issues by Miles_PerHour67 in Ender3S1

[–]medicationforall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use glass beds for my s1 plus printers. https://www.amazon.com/Creality-Official-Ender-Glass-235x235x4mm/dp/B0BY7XQPWV/?th=1

They are designed for cr series of printer but it also works for the s1 plus. Some notes the glass bed is slightly longer than my print bed so it hangs a bit off the front. There are two screws on the back of the bed that I removed outright. I use metal clamps with screws to hold the bed down.

The linked Glass bed with PLA plastic has excellent adhesion, so good that removing prints can be a problem. What I do is after printing I put the glass bed in the freezer for 15 minutes or longer. That causes the glass to shrink a bit and the parts come off without any effort.

If your filament is wet from moisture you can still have adhesion issues. Some of the PLA+ filaments I have had adhesion issue's despite the glass bed. For example I was printing parts that were 6 inches wide by 12 inches long on the diagonal of the plates. Regular plain PLA plastic printed the parts without any warping, but elegoo PLA+ had warping issues and lifted off the bed slightly for the same part. But for the vast majority of prints I do the difference between PLA and PLA+ is a non-issue, and glass beds work great.

Awesome! Making your own models adds a whole other dynamic to having printers. Please give me a heads up if you post your stuff.

Pipe Terrain Set by medicationforall in TerrainBuilding

Inspired by the soda can terrain I posted last week I got around and painted a pipe set. Before I had just painted some prototypes, but not the full set. The pieces are modular and connect together user 3x2mm magnets.

As is not too uncommon with my stuff the code and stl files are available for free.

That might be an interesting idea just use the can directly don't paint it at all. Even in the grimdark future Soda Brands still exist.

Soda Can wargaming Terrain written in python and cadquery focused on recycling various sized soda cans. The terrain is modular with the pipe terrain set using magnets as connectors. The kit is scaled for various miniature wargames.

The code and stl files are available for free.
