what kind of plastic did you use? What type of forces will be applied to the plastic.. will it be a constant pulling from the metal? I do not see a picture but I would model the 3d printed part so...
you got me now.. can I try and print it for you? Just really curious to see how it would come out. if yes, pm me and I will send you my email address to send the stl.
May want to try making the part more blocky with out the nice rounded ends. This way you have nice adhesion to the build plate.. Looks real nice as it is but not all that great for 3d printing.. I...
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I do not normally make TPU parts that large and have never had an issue with them warping but I also don't normally use 100% infill.
You did not mention...
TPU is tricky stuff. I do not have this printer but for me, with a direct extruder style printer, and TPU I find the best results are with nozzles .5mm or larger, fixed speed of about 8-12mms,...
Never used a resin printer but have been printing FFF for years. my holes are always .4mm smaller than the designed model.. So when I design anything I make that adjustment to sizes. I do not...
you can try a magnetic PEI powder coated system. TPU comes off without too much effort but you initial layer need to be exactly right no squish.. Have you tired starting your cooling fan on the...
cut a piece of plexiglass/Lexan and forget about printing it, you will not be able to see through 5mm .
I kind go the other way, I make my own .95mm nozzles from older smaller ones and print with .5mm Layers with larger items. Never used PETG with CF but typically from what i have read, you should use...
If it fits, why not? Lots of aftermarket systems like buildtek and others..
It means, learn how the slicer program works and the quirks related to your printer so you can get a good result.
I would suggest doing your part design and then have the model printed by a printing service. You should do a bit more research on types of filament and the requirements to use them. This is not...
Never printed a 3 day part.. my build volume is only 8x10x8.. My enclosure has no extra heater anymore, it is no needed. For ABS the heat of the bead is enough. Highest the temp inside gets is...
I have lots of PETG mounts holding cameras and light which are outside in the sun in the Philadelphia PA area where it hit 100F in the shade. You must remember that the 235 is C not F.. if you car...
Never have any of the issues you mention with ABS. sounds like bad/wet abs or your z offset is too high.. of course no enclosure
PETG is the other filament to use.. I never use PLA if I can help...
slow down.. try 40mmS.. infill 35%, layer height .3
Not familiar with that slicer but in S3d slicer there is a setting that says how far to print the skirt from the part, you may want to increase that if there is such a setting. In S3d it is called...
What type would that be? You asked a question and I tried to answer it.
i had no idea how much metal printers cost but I did know they are not in the sub 1K range, so I searched and posted the...
Not to be unhelpful, but a simple google search for 3d printing metal machines returns this:
A Metal 3D Printer may cost you anywhere between $50,000 and a few million.
I am confused.. looks to me if you put the far side to the left when looking at the second picture on the build plate no support would be needed..
In other words, where the arrows point in picture2...
That was the correct choice.
Reasons Not to use ABS or Nylon for this project
ABS and Nylon both require an enclosure and you did not say what you have so you may very well have one.
ABS and Nylon...
This design should work fine. However it seems that wood or pvc trim would be faster easer and less expensive.
Fare as this model goes, I assume you know you would print that with the flat...
Yes no heat. You can also try lowering the hot end temp so you are at the minimum range for your particular brand of TPU.. what are you using Ninjaflex or something else? When removing try to work...
buy a brass sued brush...
