What did you 3D print today?

[BrickHaus]

12 hours into my 2.5 day molds...

revolverloader parts coming out on charlene too.

[BrickHaus]

1 day in, finally to the rocket profiles!

[jeramiej]

Dang, you all have been cranking stuff out! I need to get my Prusa chugging again, just been getting dusty.

[BrickHaus]

I blame Zadeer, Chosanjuan. And OpusX we have a chat going and they have all produced amazing prints as of late. It made me get my printers going.

[OpusX]

Ahhh BrickHaus thanks bud! When printer go brrrrr things are good.

[MuddyBloodyFactory]

Started printing ASA! Finished calibrating and first part going now.
Hope it works well!

[BrickHaus]

And now I have to get a printer going with asa...

[MuddyBloodyFactory]

Smells like burning plastic but not as bad. Need good ventilation or a filter. Had to use glue stick as a release agent. Warmed up this cheap enclosure with a food dehydrator, and keeping the bed super toasty. Pretty straight forward to print so far. Not sure how much my machine likes being toasty in the enclosure space with the super hot bed. ASA appears to like really fast printing speeds. I am getting to test these cheap linear rails and titan extruder (kingroon kp3s printer).

So far so good! First sets of parts came out good. Had some gnarly elephants foot. Hope I fixxed it with a big .4mm first layer height.
Seems really durable when thin! And hard. Especially compared to PETG.

Eager to get a LGX extruder on here and see if this machine can outrun the v6 hotend.

[MuddyBloodyFactory]

had a full build plate start to warp and turn into spagetti!
Printing a few parts at a time still working well.

I have some printed parts on my printer in PETG and I need them redone in ASA, in order to print ASA. Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me.

[BrickHaus]

2 days, 18 hours later.. time to mix up some foam!!

[OpusX]

now thats looking good!

[Alexndl]

Nice!
Happy to see you did not had any layer shift or issue on such a long print!

[MuddyBloodyFactory]

ooo yea!!!

[OpusX]

5 "tipx" style magazine butt plates. Now for mag bodies.

[Alexndl]

I love the color

[BrickHaus]

Round 2....FIGHT!!

Lookin a bit thin front and center, but I'm gonna let her buck.

[MuddyBloodyFactory]

this looks like a good time to shill for these bed leveling wheel clips! But id actually say wait a little bit because I am bout to repost a new version of them! https://www.printables.com/model/115...ng-wheel-clips

[Rainmaker]

I made this nifty little jig for cutting some brass pins to a certain length. Clamp the rod in place, flush with the end, cut with hacksaw, push the rod through to get the fresh-cut pin out and line up for the next cut.

You tease... when are you gonna let me beta test??

[Alexndl]

Clever idea!

[pghp8ntballer]

Finished up last night and assembled. Roughly 72 hours total on the Ender 3 V2.
Its an articulated crayfish printed at 250 percent. Why? Because the wife and I watched a documentary episode with that River Monsters guy where he went looking for the giant crayfish in Tasmania. I printed it this size so it is above average sized but still a little under half the reported max sizes.

[BrickHaus]

This all the same roll of color changing filament? Looks pretty sweet!

[pghp8ntballer]

Yes all the same roll. It used about ¾ roll at .2 layer height, 10% infill, 2 perimeters, and 1.5 mm top/bottom layers

[bellicose]

That was one of my first prints many years ago. Kept it on my desk at school. Everytime I had a sub, I'd find it in pieces with a sorry note attached. Finally glued it together. Found it with the tail completely missing after that.

[XEMON]

Nice tool holder:

[superman]

ya i need to make one of these myself.

[OpusX]

Hellz yisss my first tipx mag body is dimentionally good!

[bellicose]

What filament is that? So bright.

[OpusX]

This is the filament I am using for these green prints --> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093C7T8QD

[pghp8ntballer]

I have a different Chinese brand silk green filament. You can see it on my Ender in the crayfish pic above. It’s super shiny and sweet in person! However I hope yours is not to brittle for that Tipx mag, I made my pi camera mount out of mine and the screws snapped easily when the same part in a generic white pla was just fine with the same settings.

[BrickHaus]

Well. I ran out of filament on day 2.5 of the second set of molds, and didn't realize it. So I pretty much had to scrap these molds.. loaded a semi fresh roll of black pla+, and fired it up this morning.

[ChoSanJuan]

Been a cheapskate for over a year with my Fitbit blaze strap retainer thingy. Had some hockey tape wrapped around the straps. Took 10 mins to measure/model, and 10 mins to print in TPU. Did it in red since wife has the same model and hers is the stock black one.

[MuddyBloodyFactory]

Designed a printer! Built on an ender 3/voxelab aquila base, but it's basically a whole new thing. Also pictured is the Voron stealthburner tool head. Printed the parts in ASA.
Now I need to build it!

I received an Etha in great shape from Alexndl the other day. Tore it down yesterday, and the only thing that really presented an issue was the Bolt Bumper. This little spacer behind the bolt had completely turned to goo, and was leaving black residue everywhere. After a little digging, I found out what it is actually supposed to look like (has some contoured nubs on the front face), and modeled up a replacement in Fusion. Printed in TPU and good to go!
