New 3D Printer

[TimM63]

Yeah. It's really nice to have color choices. I had a lot of issues with the non-ams spooling setup. Even modded it was still tangling. That all went away with the AMS. Here's my current setup. Wanted to have dry boxes and also save some space. Santa is bringing me a resin printer for xmas so the left side of the table is for that. Im currently working out how to remote locate the RFID antennas. When you extend the wire too far it makes them not work as the signal gets too weak. They arent necessary but it would be nice to have the feature.

Those dry boxes are just cereal boxes right? I was thinking about getting some to store extra spools in.

Yeah. I have rollers w hygrometers and silica beads on the bottoms.

I just printed a Tamiya cement bottle holder. Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.
Also printing up a paint brush holder with built in cup holder.

3D printers are the way to go! If you can write stl files, you could create models of anything.

That is awesome. I've wanted a printer, but I should probably learn design first lol My friend made me this dbl bottle holder

This was the initial calibration and print for the printer.
A little tugboat.

The resolution of the print is to low, if it was on purpose' it's a good print, nice piece of hi end 3D printing equipment you got there, congrats.
I have a "budget" big sized clone of a Creality printer, it's called: Anet A8 Plus, got it as a gift from a friend, and till now I printed out some parts that friend ask me to design.

I recommend Fusion 360 from Autodesk, it's free as long as it is used for personal use, you can easily design 3D parts and export them as .stl files for Cura, there are lots of tutorial out there that teach both Fusion 360 and Cura. 3D design for printing it is fairly easy to get a glimpse on, no big deal, just learn the basics of technical drawing and then you apply some modification to your blueprint in Fusion 3D, you can print out anything you can imagine.

A friend of mine asked me to print the logo I designed for his crypto currency. Just import the .svg file you previously have vectorized in Illustrator or Inkscape, and extrude the logo as you need, but always be sure to configure the Cura settings right, just not to overlap the layers of the model or some other commune tuning parameter.



Happy printing, kind sire.
