Modding The 3D Printing Thread

you managed to get this sorted at all mate?

 

Haha it's a job for today/tomorrow - sorry - mad busy at the moment as in hospital on Friday!

 

No worries mate,

Fingers crossed all goes fine, and cheers for the help

 

Back home - and hope to have a crack at this tomorrow for you! Only snag is it'll be blue PLA as I haven't the mobility to change filament at the mo. Is that a problem?

 

Printed this today. It's come out really well.



From http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:289987 scaled 115%

 

That's come out really nice

 

Anyone fancy giving it a go?

Not the one in the picture - the three simpler parts that will screw together.

Just let me know how much.

 

I'm going to play 3D printing tomorrow I think. Will try crazy's part first, then might have a crack at something else?

 

I had a look an i think its bit too ambitious for me yet.

Still struggling abit with bed adhesion.

 

I'll happily throw some beer tokens at you, Sam.

No worries, bud.

 

Just fitted my brand new all metal Mk10 hot end.

Not sure it makes much difference with the PLA I am currently printing with but should improve longevity when I move up to ABS.

 

For bed adhesion, with PLA anyway, I print straight onto glass.

I also use a liberal amount of cheap super drug branded Ultra hold hair spray.

Never had a single issue.

First layer temp 70 the rest 60/65 cannot remember as its a setting I haven't changed for months.

Filament temp 205 first layer 85% speed then 195 100% for the rest

 

Spreadie is it this one your after?

 

Hi veryevil,

Yes, that one and the two smaller pieces. They screw together to create the complete bracket.

 

I'm really sorry mate - hardly able to move around the house still, let alone fire up the 3D printer [emoji20]

 

No need to apologise, Sam.

 

Did you manage to get this printed?

I could have a crack at it now if you havent, I think I'm fully setup and bedded in.

 

After not getting the chance for a couple of weeks. The kids and I have finally started the assembly of my/our Prusa i3 MK2. Bought it before the reviews were in - I think I made the right choice

45 minutes in and half a bag of bits down, at this rate we'll be lucky to be complete before Christmas.

 

I don't know if veryevil has had a go at it - didn't want to pester for something that's essentially a favour, regardless of my willingness to pay for it, but we haven't communicated beyond what's been mentioned in this thread.

 

I will have a go tomorrow night then. I have grey PLA in my machine that im using up or can change it up to white if you preferred?
