@Kris cool! How bad was the supoort removal and cleanup?

[kris 29]

Support removal was ok, cleanup and sanding a pain in the butt...

I did the model mainly in Scupltris, with some help from Meshlab.

 

[DidierKlein 729]

Nice prints guys

@Kris: The back is surprisingly clean no wonder it was a pain in the butt to sand but nice result

I tried something with Colorfabb XT, changing temperature to have a different "color". I still have to tweak it.

 

Transparent parts are at 250°c with 100% fan

Opaque parts are at 230°c with 100% fan

 

 

Transparent parts are at 250°c with 0% fan (much clearer)

Opaque parts are at 230°c with 100% fan

 

 

I tried the same on a bigger vase but had some underextrusion on the temp changes (probably because of the big gap and the fact that the fan goes from 100% to 0% in one line.

at the weekend I printed out some gifts for my nice to pimp up her bedroom... hopefully she will like it and have nice dreams..

 

 

I used glowbug yellow form faberdashery ( I really love it )

 

and also did a small time-lapse video with all printing settings in it

I know my first contribution to this topic is very creative (not), but my son does like me printing Ultimaker robots between more utilitarian prints... I'm sorry for bulky image files; here's an Ultimaker robot scaled up to be 5 times as big as the original:

It's printed using Ultimaker's red ABS with 0.1mm layer height. Print speed was 75mm/s. The photos were taken without any proofing whatsoever - only the raft was removed.

I'm very interested in comments on the print quality. I used my UM2 in its original form for only about 6 weeks. After those weeks Ultimaker granted me a 9-week pit stop during which I got a bit wild in tuning the thing.

That's a pretty flawless print. Overhangs are as expected I'd say, but other than that it looks very good!

Very cool prints again!

Attached an update to my loose filament spool / holder. It's now updated on https://www.youmagine.com/designs/loose-filament-holder-v3! yeah my 1st public design! and available for download. I had to strenghten the arms a bit (thanks to Dim3nsioneer), make the main part and the cap longer / higher (thanks Skodiar) and in general worked on the tolerances. I printed it know myself again and I think it turned out well. Could still use some tweaking here and there... hope you like it.

I also tried to create a little step by step on how it works / assembles:

Print 4 arms, 1 main, 1 inner, one screw on cap:

put loose filament on table, main in the middle and start to slide in the arms:

 

insert inner (align with the cut outs)..

 

...and press down:

 

screw on the cap (tight):

 

insert the beginning of the spool into the filament holders holes and bend it a bit:

 

attach to UM1 or UM2 (should work also) and start printing:

 

happy printing guys!

I haven't posted anything in here in ages. I printed out this friendly little fellow the other night. 0.08mm, 50mm/s, 15 hours.

Wow, no bumps, no stringing, no underextrusion - nothing. What kind of sorcery is this?!!?!!11!

Yah I kind of needs to know too...

I,ve tried pieces with overhang way easier than this with way shittier result

 

[martin-bienz 36]

@IRobertI, really good! Meshmixer expert. Are those standard settings? What's the material?

 

[skint 61]

Great gremlin Robert! Nice job cleaning up those supports too. I need to get into using meshmixer.

 

[IRobertI 520]

Thanks guys but I can't take much credit, the machine does a good job And of course I chose a nice angle, you can't see underneath his chin where most of the mess ended up. If you look in the top on the left ear where the support connected you can see the marks left there as well. ( direct link to original image because the image handling on this forum is poop )

Most of the settings are stock. Besides those mentioned above I've increased travel speed to 250mm/s. Retraction is 5mm @ 35mm/s and acceleration has been lowered to 1500. I also print hotter than most @235C (unless my machine measures temps low). And finally the filament was Faberdashery, I just love their stuff.

Meshmix support was a mix of auto generated and some additional struts added in by me.

I finally got the UM Original Dual Extrusion to work properly AND fast.

 

The small robot is printed in standard size, the large one is scaled by 1.5.

 

[skint 61]

Dim3nsioneer I`m waiting for you to create the dual extruder for UM2 now please, I`ll give you one week to complete it

 

[Dim3nsioneer 557]

@Skint: Yes I know... :mrgreen: :

Kirk to Scotty: "How long do you need for the repairs?"

Scotty: "Captain, give me four hours!"

Kirk: "You have two!"

Scotty: "Ok, I'll do it in one..."

Well, if Ultimaker wants to hire me for that job, they are free to do so...

That cross looks painted on! most interesting.

 

[Dim3nsioneer 557]

It's not painted, I promise! You may check the model here.

 

[valcrow 144]

Oh I believe you! I'm just noting how it looks. the way the red blends with the white on the edges is exactly how I expect white paint to look like. It's very cool indeed, the registration looks perfect.

Drool@ dual extruder VIDEO! VIDEO!

 

[skint 61]

Yeah now you just need a support material !

 

[andwew 0]

Here's a new print. Took about thirty hours. Default supports in Meshmixer worked great. It's sort of a wall mount maybe to hang your keys or something

 

[DidierKlein 729]

wow very nice what material did you use? And it's painted or something?

 

[andwew 0]

Not painted. Not even finished. Just snapped off the supports. The material is from Protoparadigm:

http://www.protoparadigm.com/products/3d-printer-filament/real-world/brass-1/

Looks nothing like brass but I was pleasantly surprised at the look... Almost looks like translucent flesh :cool:

 

[skint 61]

Cool print Andwew! Looks a bit like a faberdashery gold too.
