A few more parts for a Voron Trident build
A headphone hook for my desk… which I should probably take off the list cuz I just bought one.
Ender 3 is more of a project and less of a tool. Hoping to get a Prusa, everyone always remarks on its amazing reliability.
You say that, but after my last set of tuning my E3 Pro is a real workhorse! Give it another 4 years like I did. May also help to threaten it with replacement if it fs up ONE MORE TIME…
When I was fixing up a CR10s to give away (it was a rescue from another friend that fucked it up and then gave up.)… I would show it the old Univac manuals with instructions on where to hit the chasis, and tell it I was in conversation with Creality about the proper usage of hammers.
Seemed to work…
Huh, my Ender 5 cranks out part after part with almost no fuss and has for years.
I think I just about dialed in a profile, but I’ve yet to get to a place where I can just hit print and get a thing. Tinkering with it was fun for a minute, but i want a system that just works. And if that means buying a prusa printer, with prusa slicer, and prusament I’d be more than happy to go that route. I want to focus on what to print, not how. At least not now, I could definitely see me getting into it more, and then wanting to eventually do more complicated stuff requiring customizations of hardware and software, and materials, but it’s hard to get in the mood to go deep when struggling to do the basics.
I got the 5 a few years back. Great printer but I didn’t like the bounce in the platform so I printed stabilizers. Didn’t like the placement of the extruder moved it up top. Added the HeroMe. Still didn’t like the bounce of the plate so added a second z-axis. Added direct drive extruder. Linear rails. SKR mini. AC bed heater. Klipper. Mosquito Magnum. Prolly some other stuff. About the only original parts are the frame. I used it to learn how to print. And I printed some great stuff along the way. But it’s good now. I pretty much just print. But I really like that Bondtech LGX. Might have to try that out. :-D
Mine does too now. But I got a bad batch of pla and I could have sworn the sender was the shittiest printer on the market. It was off line for a year before I tried again. I recently switched back to that old roll because I wanted the color, and that shit peeled up and warped to hell again. Now I know for sure that spool of PLA is bad
there’s always those upgrades to the printer.
R/C parts- a back burner project is a cyclogryo. (The hope is to eventually build a hoverbike vaguely similar to the malloy hoverbike.) and there’s a few other things I need to print to get some models back to flying.
I’ve also got a chess set I’m working on- inspired by a set of files that are inspired by a metal set made by [Charles 'O Perry]9http://www.charlesperry.com/puzzles/chess-set). But that’s a backburner design, in part because they’re still enjoying the Lewis chess set I printed (in iron and bronze metal fill PLA,)
then, I’ve got a lot of requests for pendulum clocks from people I know. but those are a fair amount of assembly work as well as printing time. so they tend to be only for people I actually like.
I have a few mechanical keyboard projects that I need to print cases for and a chassis for a compact NAS build that I’m almost done tweaking and need to print eventually. Just functional stuff really
