Month: November 2018

It’s freezing outside and I’m running out of things to 3D print. I’m getting really worried I might have to use the regular indoor heating at some point like some sort of cave man. I need solutions.

I need these solutions to be as drastic as possible, or I’ll never be able to justify having yet another 3D printer to my wife ever again. https://ift.tt/2OUMyee

PSA: So you printed a benchy, now what? Well use these graphics to help measure correctly and fix what’s the issue in your print.

Saw a thread and thought I’d share some good links, here’s the proper dimensions on the benchy to see if you’re getting dimensionaly accurate printshttp://https://ift.tt/2DtpIbH you have some calipers you can measure and adjust, also most of the failures in print are fairly well documented in this poster ridgid ink put outExample graphic to fix printing issues.https://ift.tt/2Qb7JNO Only thing I disagree with the rigid ink poster is in regard to z seam, I find setting it to sharpest corner, or manually inputting an x/y area for it I can hide it on the back of the boat, makes for a good outer shell and being able to designate where the z seam starts and ends helps make sure zits aren’t visible and is good practice to keep making good looking prints by hiding where the layers start where there’s typically some surface scarringAlso an example of my benchy after following most of the suggestions in the poster and general knowledgehttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/348108014076690432/514229615494037533/PriestBenchy.jpgI will say it needed a touch more of retraction but overall I’d call that a 95% well made benchy https://ift.tt/2qTkEpg
