3-D printing

You can see my first print here:

Since then, I've printed a ton... but right now I'm printing a flow-test-tower to see what my max volumetric speed can be for this printer, filament, nozzle combo:

I've been struggling with cabling and loose gadgets when I'm out taking photos at night. So today I knocked up a simple bracket in tinkercad that has a knockout on the back for a tripod leg.

Straps to the leg with velcro and my intervalometer and USB battery attach with velcro. Printed them in PLA. Also used a bit of cork backing to help keep them from sliding as easily.

Nice job!!

I LOVE functional prints that fix unique issues!

I dont think i said this yet. Both my printer and the co print system arrived. The Neptune 4 max printed really nicely, even just out of the box after leveling. It took a bit longer for the co print system to come. I built the system for 8 extruders. Lets say it was very hard to get the co print system to work with the Neptune, first issue was changing from fluidd to mainsail, finally figured that out, then i had tons of errors, had to find different configuration files because the ones on co print aren't all right(new extruder runout sensor). The last couple days I've finally been able to start printing. It prints pretty well(ill upload pictures once i have everything calibrated). it defiently wasn't the easiest to install, but its finally printing

Put up my first chunk of multiboard to hold my most common 3D printing tools. 4x 8x8 grid panels here. Dedicated bin for the deburring tool, a caliper holder, file holder, marker bin, side-cutter holder (or scissors, one of those printing now to go next to it). Still have a small shelf and a couple more baskets to put on there for little miscellany.

I ran it all in 2 colors of the PLA Hobby Lobby is selling as a test. Actually impressed with it so far. Not sure who their white label is, but I *think* it's tcbears (AKA Sunlu). Based on my experience with sunlu, kinda tracks.

Anyway, decent stuff if you need something local "right now".

I finally got the co print system working with the neptune 4 max(was just about to uninstall everything and find a smaller multicolor printer). But it does print really well now. Ill have to post pictures of the prints later

Some random prints

Do these pop open or anything or are they just fake? If you could send me the link that would be great

Trying to design something to 3d print, but everything I try is failing, even AI designing, and that’s saying something.

I’m trying to accurately design a 3D skeleton of a fossil I discovered in WY.

Maybe I should try a different software to design it.

Have you tried any of the phone based 3d scanners. I have not yet but have looked at some and they seem like they might work.

Actually, it’s a bit more complicated than just scanning it. In order to understand why, you need to know how the fossil was formed.

This is a compaction fossil. There was a big prehistoric lake 55 million years ago. There was a landslide, most likely, that caused the lake to be filled and caused a massive extinction. Everything was compacted flat. As a result, the fossils are flat.

My goal is to make a 3-D non-flat fossil, that would accurately show what the fish looked like in 3-D.

Scanning it would just make a 3-D image of an almost 2-D fish.

However, I can try. I’ll see what happens.
