Oops. I think you call this a fail.
MakerwareFail.jpg
Using makerware, it seems to tangle the nozzle in the last layer and rips it up. The first two tried weren't this interesting. "I believe you are trying to invent a new art form?" Perhaps it's because today is the 9th?
First attempt with makerware this morning it stopped extruding, but didn't rip it off the build plate. I notice makerware sets the temperature to 230. ReplicatG used 220.
I saw the hood mentioned some where, I think in this thread even. How do you keep the warm air from escaping out the open top of the unit where all the guide tubes and wired go?

Oh. I see. You make the hood over all the moving parts. Kindof obvious, eh?

I think this one isn't going to work. See how the raft has peeled up in the corner and the bottom has peeled up from the raft.

So, with a hood to keep things warm and an extra fan shroud to keep things cool... Um, might have to wait for another payday.

Ruined! The bottom of the object broke away from the raft.

So it tried to print the next layer in space.

Tried the slurry method with the same results. Perhaps I don't have enough plastic dissolved in my acetone?

Hay! It almost worked.
I put LOTS of slurry, then for a hood, I put a blanket over the whole thing.

You see it peeled up a bit on the left edge, but it managed to make the box.

My footprint logo is there a little bit. I don't think you'd know it was a footprint just by seeing it. My name isn't there at all.

The port on the end worked well, though there was supposed to be an indented legend above it.

Here's a print screen from OpenScad. The text is set in a couple mm with "difference." It shows in makerware, but didn't on the print.

And here is the project in the box.
Unfortunately, the port in the side misses the connector. Oh. I remember, I was worried about the mounting screws in the bottom so I made the bottom thicker and forgot to move the ports. There's one on the other end too.
The bottom looks a bit like shredded wheat.

Another friend suggested that. Have a little money. Well, I should have some later today.

Abs is a constant battle with temps, adhesion, shrinkage.
In comparison, pla simply works.
For 99.9% of uses pla is probably better than abs - for that other 0.1% use pet-g or one of the newer filaments that are coming on the market. :-)

Hmm. The money is a little short of the bills. Ok, I'll get some PLA next time I have some money.
Anybody want to buy some ABS filament? Maybe I can ebay it.
Please explain to me how to...
