Looks like a scene out of "8 legged freaks".... I'd say most of those supports aren't neededLooks great quality for an 'out of the box' print
Certainly better than mine. I do like the tree supports, they look weird but are a lot quicker and easier to remove. View attachment 439776View attachment 439777
Yes a previous print had a lot of moisture, I dried it in the oven but obviously not long enough.Looks a bit like wet filament that one, try drying it out for a few hours see if it helps.
I'm not sure they were needed but better a completed 7.5 hr print than a failed 7hr oneLooks like a scene out of "8 legged freaks".... I'd say most of those supports aren't needed
Ah now it all makes sense "Seriously good quality there. What material? My lad is looking at upgrading his pc." I thought it was me going senile (r)Upgrading the 3D printer, not the pc!
A I said " wow" this said a 12 hour print it actually took 14 hours.I really am impressed with the speed and quality. I printed this last night in just 3 hours.

I found a neat pose-able figure on printables.com that my Ender 3 made a bit of a mess of. Just tried it on the P1S.

Yeah, no more failed prints and burning hot ends every three weeks......So what you're saying is it takes all the fun out of 3D printing?
Toys are OK at any age! By the way, does the orange bloke realise he stepped in what looks like chewing gum...or did you print a small blue dog figure that left a couple of calling cards?I made a little friend for the pose-able figure, an AT-ST
I need to get a life!
Blocked for me, what was it like?
Yeah, the dog is just out of sightToys are OK at any age! By the way, does the orange bloke realise he stepped in what looks like chewing gum...or did you print a small blue dog figure that left a couple of calling cards?
I know what you mean I recently printed a bunch of boxes to store my modelling kit on the Ender 3. Over 40 hours and 1.5kg of filament for something I could have bought for around £20 in Hobbycraft!Should we start a thread called "Stuff your 3D printer has not made today"?
If we did, this is what I'd be nominating:

It's a 120mm x 120mm fan cover that I need four of to go in my new home automation enclosure.
Because of the mesh (aka holes) it was going to take 1 hour 30 minutes to print each one and use up 1/4 KG of filament for the lot (it's only 2mm thick!).
I watched the printer labour over the holes, taking 20 minutes on the first layer (there's only eight layers!) before I gave up and went over to Amazon:

Yep - almost the same price as the filament and it will turn up round about when the printer would have been due to finish!
Sometimes, just because you can, doesn't mean you should...
That is an impressive bit of 3D drawing and problem solving in the process.I had to reverse engineer a fairly complex bracket but had no drawings just one photo from the side
Three iterations of CAD later I have this. Just need to change plastic into metal.

Thanks it will either be fabricated or manually machined from solid. Not sure yet. Don't have access to CNC unfortunately.That is an impressive bit of 3D drawing and problem solving in the process.
How is the final item to be made, CNC milled or some other process?
