What did you 3D print today?

[Brandon85]

Uh nice. I need to improve the cosmetics one mine. Other than that, it fit perfect on the first try

[Brandon85]

Sooo, I tried to recreate the c&c battery housing. Based on the pictures provided on xmagworld. Any improvements to make?

I have a breach modeled and is on the list of things to machine once I get some other projects done.

Speed feed and replacement power button for a rotor. I used Novamaker 95A for the SF, I think the original calls for 85A but this seems to work fine other than jiggling the pod a bit. The power button is a translucent PLA I got in a sample pack from Amolen. Quite pleased with how bright it shines!

I'm currently working on reconstructing Xmag parts. The breech just finished printing, also included a PE feedneck mod, I just need to fine-tune the optics. I'm still figuring out how to do the CNC milling on the battery housing.

They’ve done the same for me. I bought a marker with a 2k5 on/off and it was missing a few internals. They just asked for my address. Great service.

Thumbscrew for my PM6 and some TPU anti rollout widgets for my 2k5 ProStock. TBH the thumbscrew is kind of moot without a lever, because otherwise you'd need to forcefully shove the hopper in after you tighten it for it to work well. But I suppose its better than not having any allen key on hand. In related news; Custom Products customer service is alive and well. The friction fit gas wall in my on/off for the 2k5 apparently came out on its own so they are sending me a new one no questions asked & free of charge.

i have the Q1 and its a beast (bought it before the plus4 came out). the heated chamber is a game changer.
Im probably going to switch over to the plus4 if the qidi box works.

I didn't print anything today, and haven't for quite a while. When I was walking in to work this morning a very bewildered woman was walking down the hallway carrying a giant set of 3D printed letters. I asked her what they were for and she said "One of my friends has a 3D printer and he just randomly printed me my initials for some reason? I guess so I don't forget my fucking name? I don't know what I'm supposed to do with these!" 😅

In other news, I just cancelled my Prusa Core One order and ordered a Qidi Plus 4. Time will tell if that was a good trade or not, but the Qidi is more capable and my wallet is happier so we will see!

We use the pandit dct cutters for cutting wire duct regularly. Pandit actually gives the company them for free with every x amount t of product we buy, but they have these soft ass blade stops that deteriorate fast.

Pandit used to sell these guides, but discontinued them. Now you have to replace the whole cutter.

This morning I modeled my first rendition of a blade stop up, and printed one off. It's not perfect, but I think it's going to work better than the oem one.

Red TPU 100% infill.

If those don't hold up, I don't mind sharing the design I sent off to pcbway to have cnc'd in aluminum. They were around 40 each anno included and still require autococker detents(the CP style that use a hex key.) They definitely hold up though.

[boarder2k7]

Have you played with the resin covers yet? I printed some covers also and given the brittleness of resin prints, I'm not sure how they'll hold up to taking a hit.

[ChoSanJuan]

Bought a Primal for parts a couple years back. Aired it up and it went nuts. The bolt cycled so fast and hard that it smashed one of the detents to bits and cracked the other one pretty bad. Finally getting around to fixing it since I'm in the whole Tom Cole/Bad Company EM1 mode, I remembered ermiller27 made full replicas of the detent cover models on here. Snagged them and printed them in resin. PERFECT FIT!







Now to pull the ball bearings and springs and that's behind me!

[XEMON]

it will become stringy as hell on the TPU.
Also try spacing them out a bit more and doing one at a time, you'll get better result.

What machine do you have?
enclosed (preferably heated) get teh best surface adhesion, but TPU is usually pretty forgiving in that reguard.

Maybe? Lpr piston seats for ICD bushy lprs?
