    Show your most impressive print

    We all love 3D-printing because we can see ideas come to life. Therefore I made this thread so you can show off the prints you are most proud of and why. Additional info like print-time, issues you had etc.. are always nice.

    I'll start off with mine:
    This Eiffel-tower from thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:254133

    I printed this thing after not having that much experience with my printer. It really was a challenge, took me over 2 weeks to complete and several failed parts. I learned so much about all the different settings in Cura while attempting to get the small detailed parts in a decent quality.

    1510982_10202852992957427_5815045185779230447_n.jpg10013515_10202852993157432_5140100099797696810_n.jpg

    used printer: Velleman K8200 aka 3drag

    Issues I had: This print had allot of small separated parts which makes the printer retract ALLOT. This resulted in a completed grinded of piece of filament which resulted in stop of filament flow. Then I had to pull out the filament, cut the bad part away and continue the print. I had to test by trial-and-error what the best retraction setting was without getting very bad quality.

    Print-timed: I stopped counting after 30 hours of printed parts.. Took me over 2 weeks to test, print, assemble.

    Resolution: 0,20mm

    Here you have the link:

    If you want to scale down the model: check the remix section, I made part D2 without the fine railings, so it's easier to print when it's scaled down

    I suspect it is the K8200 mentioned here: http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...ll=1#post16214

    I got my favourite print - It's a thing I created; named him CHEG! - Print quality is nothing special (Poor ABS actually) but cool.
    The other was a gift I made for my wife... White ABS and texters.
