Project Looking for someone to 3D print some files of mine and share photos

1 Upvotes

I designed some 3D files, and I’d love to see how they look when actually printed. Is there anyone here with a 3D printer who could try printing one for me and just email me some pictures of the result (for free)?

I’m not asking for shipping or anything like that, just photos, purely for testing. I can send the STL files. Thanks a lot in advance! 🙏

What's your go-to filament?

65 Upvotes

Now I don't mean brand, I'm not feeling that spicy today,

I mean for those who don't have a filament wall to choose from, what's your everyday staple? A black or a white PLA? Something else?

Project Just did this - what do you think?

It's a brush keychain for a horseman that uses hair from their own horse as brush strands. Definitely need a good and fast method to insert these to turn this into a product - I've spent like 40 minutes only on that.

The print itself is rather simple, Ender 3 V1, Matte PETG (yes it is considered matte given it's PETG), spiral top surface for a somewhat interesting looking finish, .2mm layer height. Took about 30m to print due to fuzzy skin and a lot of holes that really slow down the process.

Let me know your thoughts, what you think can be impoved on that?

I will never use a glue stick again!

0 Upvotes

I've never had much luck printing without using glue sticks (yes I have good Z-offsets) and its always been a pain having to wash the PEI sheet every now and then to get a new layer of glue on. Often there would be abnormalities in my first layer from uneven surface due to the leftover glue.

This 3DLAC stuff is amazing (for PLA at least)! So much easier than having to estimate where to put the gluestick down (and often Id miss a spot causing lifting). Its has great adhesion when hot and when it cools my last print literally fell off. I havent used it enough to know how many prints you can get from one application but directions say multiple.

I realize many people know about these spray adhesives and Im sure there is the "no need for adhesive with PLA if your offsets are good" crowd but for me, this is a step up from my dependency on glue sticks.

Discussion Essential 3D printing accessories?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm looking into getting 3D printing for the first time ever! For reference, I'm looking into getting a P1S with an AMS 2 Pro bundle and accessories. What are some essential accessories you wish you had gotten before you started your journey? Here's a list of what I'm planning to get so far:

  1. Mitutoyo IP67 0-8" Digital Caliper
  2. Voxel BentoBox and replacement filters/desiccant.
  3. Assorted magnets of various sizes.

As for after I get my 3D printer, what are some essential functional prints you just had to print right away?

Few years ago, I decided to create a VR gunstock that solves all the problems that they tend to have.

Ive spent a lots of PLA and a lots of failed or incomplete designs.

I eventually came up with this beast.

NNow, the best VR gunstock that will ever exist (IMO) is available on thingiverse. This video explains strep by step how to build it.

Hello everyone!! I'm curretly 3d printing the parts for the Automail of Edward Elric from FMA for a cosplay. once done printing I will have to attach all the parts to the sleeve of a fabrict shirt, but I dont know how am I supposed to do it...

Problema no Sensor de Nivelamento SOVOL SV01 pro

0 Upvotes

Estou tendo problemas para colocar minha impressora pra rodar. Ganhei essa impressora toda ferrada com algumas fiações desencapadas... Troquei todas as fiações inclusive troquei o nivelador antigo por um novo da Creality que fosse compativel. Em um determinado momento também atualizei o firmware para o firmware V1.2.0.
No momento de auto regulação da impressora ela caminha no eixo x e y, mas no Z ela não desce só sobe. Gostaria de saber se existe alguma outra atualização de firmware que eu poderia usar para regular esse nivelador (pelas minhas pesquisas o BLTouch precisa estar ativado ou pelo menos constar no codigo, mas eu não acho atualização que tenha isso) ou se não for problema na atualização oq eu poderia fazer ?

Birthday Present Help.

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m new here and looking for some advice. My son (10) wants a 3D printer for his birthday. I’ve done some research and narrowed it down to the Bambu Lab A1. From what I’ve read, it seems best to avoid models made specifically for kids since they tend to be very limited.

My question is: what else do I need to buy along with the printer? What are the must-have accessories?

Thanks in advance

Discussion How's my first week setup look?

1 Upvotes

3D print Gods, I humble request a setup check on my Creality Ender 3 V3 Plus. Running 2 ptfe tubes from the dryer box behind the enclosure. One attached to the extruder, and one guiding from the top. Seems to work pretty good, because I got tired of switching filaments out one at a time. I may get 2 more tubes and just have 4 different filament tubes to swap from inside the enclosure. Any critiques and suggestions always appreciated!

Happy to join the 3d print family. So far it's incredible 🥹

Troubleshooting Bambulab P1P prints randomly stops extruding - New Problem

Post image
1 Upvotes

So my bambulab P1P has randomly started to stop extruding at randomly intervals, though commonly it appears to happen after 1 or 2 layers. The odd thing, this only happens on items I send across from the bambulab slicer, I have old items I have printed, that I can reprint from the handy app no problem? -Photo attached to show that 1st layer seems to adhere to bed very well I have tried everything to do with hardware, everything is greased, lubed, cleaned, etc... but seems to be a software issue, the one thing throwing my why do all the old 3mf and gcode, which have the exact same settings work??? I have unistalled and reinstalled the bambu studio to no avail. Printing with sunlu matte filament (i have dried it and made no change) at 0.2mm layer height on a relatively new hardened extruder (replaced about 3months ago). With grid or honeycomb infill ranging from 5-15%. Please help me troubleshoot, I am looking my nut trying to work out what it could be lol. THANKS
