The 3D Printing Thread

I finally got around to downloading the Prusa Slicer profile for Polymaker HT-PLA-GF (high temp glass filled). I needed a new hotend replacement tool because… I’m incredibly impatient and melted my PETG one.

So incredibly rigid. This particular adapter holds the heat block in place so you can use a socket to change hotends without pulling the wiring. Attached it to the hotend after it got down to 130C or so and it didn’t flinch. No bend at all. No warping. Tight on and tight off. Didn’t anneal either.

This glass filled stuff interests me way more than the carbon fiber filament. Seems awesome for practical prints.

Still have to finish some modifications to the extruder but I actually got the Multi Material System for the Prusa put together yesterday.

Now we’re cookin with gas. 3 beefy stepper motors on here. It’s really more like a tiny 3D printer than anything. Except it switches filaments in 40 seconds over 5 colors.

Should be much faster than the Bambu system which takes around 90 seconds to switch between colors. It doesn’t cut the filament it retracts the filament and purges on the plate, so it actually saves 50% more filament as well.

Heh.

3D printing is actually used tons in production these days. I couldn't get over the size of the Bambu/FormLabs/Anycubic print farm that SNL has for their props in a video I saw a few months ago. It's both sides of that table too:

Looks like a single head stripped version of the H2D to me. P1S XL or something? (it's got 340 in the z-axis from the pic).

Apparently this came from a cutting module PDF that’s now been edited?

H2S. The toolhead completely matches with the above.

Seems like an K2 Plus competitor but has add ons to make it into a cutter like the Cricut.

I’ll buy this just to satiate my wife wanting a Cricut if it turns out to be real honestly.

This is some made-in-the-USA budget filament from Tangled3D ($10/kg). Turned out great! Believe it or not this is a 0.6mm hotend (Obxidian E3D) at a 0.2mm Structural layer height. Should not have turned out this well.

Gonna paint on some metallic rub and buff in copper for the glasses and a few other accents this weekend.

I needed to pick up some stuff from Prusa’s EU shop so I got 100g of Prusament Tungsten PETG to reprint my ring with. Now this stuff sounds interesting (but not the $259/kg they want for it on their US store. They don’t sell the smaller sample size unfortunately).

Been wearing a 3D printed ring for a while now since I lost weight (120lbs since last year) and literally lost it in the bushes in my garden and still haven’t been able to locate it.

I really need to find an old guy with a metal detector to find it one day

40 hour print. 0.1mm Fast Detail with a 0.4mm high flow CHT Brass Nextruder. Overture Light Matte Brown PLA. Hollow so lights can be added.

just a cool design I found from an artist that does a lot of pleasing designs on MyMiniFactory. Wanted to see how much detail I could pull off.

Probably going to end up painting it just a bit just to highlight some of the detail a bit more.

I'm currently working on a model for a big outdoor project.

My wife also does weaving as a hobby with a manual hand loom and wants me to build this (it actually looks like a fun project and useful for her):

The extra cost for the Pro version was not worth it for us and I think we are getting the regular H2D.

I'm eying the rumored single hotend H2S for myself.

Probably replace the A1 with that eventually and get a larger printer for the garage eventually for larger shit like full bookshelves and other stuff for around the house. Really putting eyes on an enclosed Sovol SV08 Max for that purpose.

Meanwhile my Prusa is unassembled right now because I'm modifying the hotend to accept their multicolor system finally. I actually got a good buffer situation figured out for 5 spool color. Hopefully will be done tonight or tomorrow when I get the gumption to finish. I love those guys and the printer is fantastic (I've still yet to throw anything on it that did not print perfectly) but when your competition can add multicolor by inserting a tube into the printer and plugging it in and yours needs to be fully assembled and the entire hardware needs to be modified... that's not going to win any consumers who aren't tinkerers. haha.
 
This took me literally forever because I received it half assembled with everything thrown in a box but I finally got the Prusa Multi Material Unit completed.

Tiny boat for first run as is tradition.

Bit of a pain in the ass to initially load but all the filament lives inside a mechanical idler so I literally don’t think it can jam.
