What did you 3D print today?

[BrickHaus]

I dig this!

Printed this frame for my pgp that just slides on and has a built in speedfeed with a feedgate. was going for the judge dredd look of the lawgiver. silk gold pla. it works good got to use it a couple of times already.

This past weekend, I churned out this tpu buttpad for this stock. Its printed with 5 walls, and 15% infill with the lines pattern for max fluff.

A while back, skully/a5 proved his printing prowess by easily making me this AR compliant stock out of wood PLA. As I told him I wish I could print wood pla for stuff exactly like this.

We had to break it the model as it was too big for his print bed. , but he made a nice little biscuit joint in tinker cad. And I used wood glue to bond them together. It's kinda ugly, but it held up to my sanding it at least.
Tonight I hit said stock with some 150 grit, and 2x coats of walnut stain. It's cool enough.

A bunch of autococker bolts, pull pins, and retainers PXL_20240330_204344493.MP.jpg

Turns out Fusion 360 changed their thread builder since the last time I created and printed a design with threads. From what I gather the new builder is correct and the old one flawed. It just happened that the flaw make 3d printed threads work and the new ones are too tight. I adjusted the treads and I am printing up some test bolts and nuts to see if I need to go with variant A or B

As you can see orienting the faces to the build plate was a bad idea, removing the supports chewed up the walls on the face of the bolt.

This is one of the things I love about resin printing, fine detail.

Ive had the files, and the bearings on hand for over a year. Finally got around to printing a second filament roller for my other printer. It'll help reduce drag on my extruder motors.

I will have to give it a shot. I'll look on Amazon today.

No, I printed that 45 feedneck below in 95a on my ender 3v2 that's still bowden tube.

[RAZRBAKK]

Spider! Does it need direct drive?

I think the stiffer (98A) tpu would be great, just a bit slow and relatively expensive. It can be really tough.

BrickHaus I've been looking at some other options. anson got me looking at some polycarbonate filaments. I haven't run the printer in like a month or more, hopefully soon I can get this guy going again.

I wonder how a solid tpu one would fare. That, or pla for its ability to flex.

[RAZRBAKK]

BrickHaus Unfortunately the PETG is just so damn rigid and it snaps easily.

I took Rainmaker s tpu feedneck topper adapter from Thingiverse. I modeled a 45 * offset into it with the loft feature, and printed one off. Seems to work! Paint feeds, and it's sluggish on both ends. I think it needs more infill with the 45* in it. an empty rotor feels like itll wobble on you if shake it hard enough. A lighter hopper would be totally fine.

I may rip another off with 60% infill to see if the clamp force on the marker is better.

[BrickHaus]

totally missed this from my phone. I really dig that clamping one, much lower profile than the mozak I attempted.

Made a little cover plate for an old flex frame that was cut up for a Vortex fan.
