X, I think this is your file. This is my first attempt printing with orca slicer, and my octoprint machine, so I just need to dial it in to make smooth seals.
Do you vary the infill pattern? I went with monotopic lines top and bottom, concentric infill at 100% in hopes the weave effect helps seal.
What did you 3D print today?

Sheridan 12g face seals and or cci cup seals. I've got some parameters to work on.1 Photo -
Got a mini pc from lhamilton1807 loaded with octo print. I had a little time to try to get it working. Once it booted up and connected to my printer, I excitedly just printed g code from my old sd card. The end result was another tpu ICD cat foregrip. This one I was going to print in red, then decislded it would be cooler to swap to black after the sight pin was finished for a nice shooter experience.Leave a comment:

A Christmas gift for my niece just finished this morning. First production print with multicolor silk and it turned out great!

Iām printing out a buildable robot for my nephew, a big Lego fan. Will post up pics when Iām done.

Shoutout to LackadaisyJackie for her amazing design! I had some print issues (this winter is wreaking havoc on both my FDM printers and SLA
) but it still came out awesome! I found some weird non-manifold spots on the inside, let her know and she quickly jumped on fixing it! This is after I joked about being too lazy to buy a new feedneck and wanted a PALs version. 
Some things I wanted to point out:
Dimensions to the can are on point! I did zero post processing on the inside. I've had so many issues with other existing bodies where I had to use sanding sticks with the hexagonal portion to the outside of the barrel shank receiver section. Nothing on this one.
Other thing is that the feedneck ID is also a great size. No issues having to dremel out the hole so some of the oddball paint doesn't get jammed. Ran my R2 with 260 and 2 pods without any issues over 2 points.
Worth. Every. Penny.

Cal440 yeah once I get the grips designed Iād like to offer matching sets -
Really like that pump,would you be selling any in the future? I will be keeping a eye on your progress ,thanksLast edited by Cal440; 12-15-2024, 12:03 PM. -
This is the third version, finally getting the fit just right. Next week I'm going to redo the grip panels.

I printed the muffler for Empire/Stella barrels sometime in the spring and it finally failed on me. It was really just the choice of material since it was that weird hybrid PLA sleeve with PETG core. But since it failed, I resliced it for my OG Photon and reprinted it in ABS-like. It feels super solid and will probably last much longer than than my FDM version just knocking around in my gear tub. LOL

I know a user already provided their file for an 86 grip to print, but Iāll be machining one for myself and I use 3d print to confirm things before I commit them to metal.. it took printing one for me to realize how they were able to shift the grip forward while keeping all the dimensions the same.
also I previous models had the grips slightly off. Not a big deal on a 3d print.. but unacceptable when it comes to metal so I took the time to really dial in fit and mostly position. Thereās a little extra meat I can take off the back but you get the gist.1 PhotoLeave a comment:

Hex or square holes will be easier to print. The top of the round holes will droop without support
