Can't show my other cool stuff yet... but I made this new fan shroud. My old one had like 1mm of space between the centerblock, so it dipped down a tiny bit, it got caught on a part I was printing for like 2 hours at the last 10% and the motor skipped a beat! So infuriating that I closed up all the tolerances on this new one and redesigned it.
It's overall nicer, super tight tolerances, blows downward rather than onto my nozzle and has like a 3x bigger opening so air doesn't escape the back as much.
Now it gets close, is super solid but doesn't touch the build platform! Only time will tell how it performs, but currently already better I think.
I can't even imagine what I would do if a 78 hour print failed at 90%. Don't do it Ian! It's not worth the paranoia!

Took me forever to do this. And it is still rougher than I would have liked. 3D concept rendering: Finished piece:

I just finished this. It was a multi-part print for ease of painting. Some of it I am not sure what happened...but hey, it is purty....And, I am unanimous in that ? Test Render Parts

Bath interferometers. I have made about 20 of these for people who use them to test their telescope mirrors. They are amazingly accurate and can do better than a $40,000 Zygo PSI optical tester. Th
