Second test print...


Now I am working on the internal screw mounts. They will be a slot where the hex not will slot into internally to grip and hold it.. At least that's the theory.. I'm currently moving the nut higher up to allow for various lengths of bolt to be used..

Bottom section looking good now :)

That does look nice actually. Did you design it or acquire it?

:dualthumbup: :bravo:

1.5 hours a print, and done 3 prototypes so far :roll: Need to work on the top section next :shock:

Not finished the holes on the top part yet (ran out of time tonight) but it's looked super sexy anyway!

Hot off the press, updated top section :)

God Dang it! Whys it doing this when it was working fine 2 days ago :roll: I keep leveling the bed but doesn't seem to help :roll: I might try just lowering the bed or reducing the flow rate of the filament...

It looks like its on the long strokes it starts messing up, will try a higher temp on the head as I have been upping the speed each print
:roll: Considering the slower first 2 layers are prefect as well...

Design looks very nice :bravo:

What materials/temps are you using? ABS or PLA?

I got a new reel of filament last xmas and had to tweak the bed & filament temps for it to print nicely again. (Bed 60C, Filament 170C for PLA)
