Especially considering you used the cheapest of the cheap ups service level

They'll learn to build in a buffer.Oh my ovaries. i'm ill prepared for this kinda stuff.
"you promised a week!"
I've seen several be very realistic:
ex: "I only have one printer. mid march is about what i expect for being done."

One month is what I'll be saying unless (until?) I get another printer

You know, if you get two more printers...

No math!
I think a second makes sense, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
Feeling like a second p1s fed from my sunlu drier would be nice. Let it run the TPU and simple, single color things while the one with the AMS does the bulk.
I want to turn out some of these wheelchairs, if there is a demand, but do not want a 3d printing side gig beyond that

One completed wheel assembly

This is really well designed. A completely printed chest harness
The TPU looks good. What ended up being the problem?One completed wheel assembly
mike93lx
ALLIANCE MEMBER
It's not perfect but it's much better. I'm still getting some surface defects
I ended up increasing drying time as well as turning off retraction at the same time, so I don't know which did it, to be honest, but I really don't want to mess with it more.

Almost there. Last parts running now (24hr print)

Nice work! What was the overall time to print, and then time to assemble?
mike93lx
ALLIANCE MEMBER
Thanks. About 380 hrs printing. Assembly is quick, under an hour. Probably 8ish hours over the course of the print to interact with the printer, files and filament

So cool! Great job! Are you going to throw some rubber tread on the wheels to protect the plastic from chipping?It's done!

Thanks. The tires are also TPU, so they are slightly squishy

Turned out great. Just curious, what were the updates to push you to 380hrs instead the 200-250hr noted?
Might try and get in on this but I haven't tried TPU yet and just have one printer (P2S).

The 200-250 is just wrong. I changed no settings
I did all this one just one p1s. I'll end up with another one soon

Probably.
Thinking another p1s with AMS and one without. Let the one without ams just run the TPU.
Really depends on demand. I'll happily throw money at more hardware for this and other similar causes. I'd love to be able to get one of these done in a week and do maybe two a month.

What printer?.8mm high flow
petg HF
8% infill
with a .6 standard flow on 98a:
You're missing two wheel quarters and 8 tires, but either way, 6ish days is nice.
Wonder on the quality of curved parts VS the 0.4mm, and 8% infill VS 15%
Do you have a source for HF that isn't 2x the cost of regular Petg?
Is the infill on the tpu parts the same as original? The speed on those tires is suspect

my claim is it was late..
TPU down to 4 plates.
.6mm normal nozzle
TPU for AMS bambu lab for 98a
.3 height

I'd love to use tpu for AMS, but the stuff is 2x the cost and I'd rather get 2x the wheelchairs. Same with the PETG HF VS PETGmy claim is it was late..
TPU down to 4 plates.
.6mm normal nozzle
TPU for AMS bambu lab for 98a
.3 height
This is the TPU we use:
If i get a minute to load up today i'm going to start testing the plates for TPU

So running your supplier's Petg but telling BS that it's HF?
mike93lx

You run it through AMS?
just ordered sunlu 98a to test as well
Yup exactly. increases max volumetric.
yea the 98a in ams works for the A1 series.
ill try it on the AMS2 when it gets here

Curious how the cushions feel with 98a VS 95a
i know makegood was printing them in 98a after i talked with them.
we're testing changing to honeycomb vs gyroid.

I was chatting with the guy that did the original design and he mentioned that with a H series printer, the footrest can be done in one piece and the wings can be printed standing up which makes them look nicer. They'll also fit 4 wheel sections on a plate and all of the tires at once.
I wish it reduced total print time, though

I'll give it a try with my current print.
