Ontopic The 3D printing thread

This is pretty awesome.



IIRC, a benchy takes like 30m on my printer and it will seemingly now take about 15m.

 

[fly]

Holy shit, its literally over 50% faster.

That's a stolen unnecessary invention:



In another video he reviews it.

How do people design things like that that fit perfectly to the device?

CCTV Tapo C110/C100/TC60 dust and sunshield cover ( 2 versions)

Two slightly different designs here, one with and the other without rear speaker vent. Designed this to give my C110 some protection from the elements. Not tested outside but the unvented version may give some shower proof protection to the camera but caution advised with outdoor use. Recently...

Measure twice, print three or four times.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Measure twice, print three or four times.

Pretty much.
I typically print sections that I need to work on to get them right, then slap the whole thing together. Cuts down on print time, usually.

Also, 3D scanners are getting so much easier to buy and use.

Its all rounded and a convex back. how the fuck.

You can do all that with parametrics.

Like, I can't, but people can. Better people than me.

I'm befuddled at how they get all the correct angles in there. But then again, I'm fukn dum.

Made a replacement part for my lathe. This is the cage/bearing that mounted the 12/24 geartrain that connects the handwheel to the bed traverse.

Started with a broken Zamak part, and then made a box, and poked holes in it, then printed it in Taulman 910. Should be about as durable.

 

[fly]

Never heard of Taulman 910. Interesting!

It's cool shit. It's a nylon/polycarbonate mix that's harder than straight nylon but just as tough, and it doesn't shrink as much and want to warp off the print bed which makes it easier to print. We use it for all kinds of odd jobs at work.

Like nylon, you really need a filament dryer or temperature oven. Because it absorbs moisture and prints like shit if you don't bake it.

 

[gee]

And yeah, it'll probably hold up a lot better than pot metal.

It's worked perfect in my 5% humidity climate without dicking around with it at all.

Plus, I won't have to look for another 90 year old casting to break, and I can keep spares on-hand for when the new one fails.

 

[Jehannum]

now I have to make something on the lathe for the dildomatic 3000 to even things out.

Holy shit its expensive.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Holy shit its expensive.

The closer it is to a manufactured part, the pricier it gets.
