The Everything 3D Printer Thread

[mike93lx]

What's going on here?! PLA prints as easy as any other filament. Why the hate?

It's a bit of a joke... I posted a couple pages back with a plate of spaghetti too. Bambu studio didn't add supports but it appears to need them, so I tweaked the part and am printing it again now

I just haven't had good luck with it. Petg has given me basically no problems.

 

[PelicanPines]

I still hate PLA

Then stop printing pasta dishes...

 

[mike93lx]

This one is going better

 

[mike93lx]

That's better.

These are 13mm wrenches that I drew up in fusion for helping assemble the wheelchairs.

The support worked well, although not doing it in a multiple of the nozzle diameter was kind of dumb (I did 1mm instead of something like 0.8mm). I left a 0.1mm space between it and the part... It broke off easily but did leave a little line. Not sure what the ideal spacing is

 

[jeepxj]

missing anything you guys are wanting?

 

[mike93lx]

I need maroon and gold Petg so I can do a Virginia tech wheelchair!
Curious to try some of that pctg

 

[jeepxj]

do you need 48kg of it?

Is this a wheelchair for ants?!?

ill add it in if ya want it.

 

[jeepxj]

**** we could go REALLY accurate

 

[mike93lx]

ill add it in if ya want it.

Appreciate it, but don't do it just for me.

That said, I've seen a few posts on reddit asking for a close match.

i think school colors I should do. it fits the brand really well.

I mean, Ga Tech is White and Gold (technically that brownish-bronze "Old Gold" but they have since watered it down to pale yellow), along with some black for "Buzz".

Locally CU is black/yellow and CSU is Green/Gold, so both are covered already.

Forgot to add, HS I am leaving is Purple/Yellow (essentially layers colors) and posisble transfer is Pale Yellow/Black, so also covered there.

 

[jeepxj]

so what are the biggest tech schools?

 

[jeepxj]

added 48kg of each of those VA tech colors

 

[Max]

so what are the biggest tech schools?

Cal. - blue and gold
Stanford - red and white
MIT - cardinal red and silver gray
GT you already have…

Any chance you’ll look at ASA in the future? I need the uv propertiesit has, unless someone wants to name a good alternative, but Inland ASA prints flawlessly for me and is dead on consistent. Very very few fail to complete prints with it.

ASA is the best for UV resistance. In the future we will expand to cover asa lines

So, like 10000 kg? Or did you buy 50 more printers?

The shipping cost on a partial isn't enough to push you to filling it?

 

[Max]

You are breaking my heart up there with Stanfurd and no Cal. So:

UC Berkeley. Berkeley Blue and California Gold. See for pantone: https://www.collegiatelicensingworld.com/uc-berkeley-colors

UCLA. UCLA Blue and UCLA Gold. See: https://brand.ucla.edu/identity/colors

 

[DekNgo]

Who am i missing?

LSU

 

[Cruzan80]

I am laughing about Georgia IT (not Ga Tech)...

Possibly Carnegie Mellon or CO Mines?

 

[RichieP_MechE]

Possibly Carnegie Mellon

Depends - do they make a tartan PLA?



(CMU Class of '09 here)

Correct. Plus I’m cash poor currently
