    Samsung Galaxy S4 Stand

    Finally got around to make a new stand for my cell phone. Designed with Geomagic Design, sliced with Makerware 2.4 and printed on a Flashforge Creator X.

    Layer height: 0.1mm
    Material: eSun silver ABS
    Feed: 50 (25 perimeters)
    Total print time: 17hrs

    First, this is the part fresh off the printer:

    it's very pretty :-)

    BUT - if you intended to paint and sand it all along - why print at 0.1 mm ? And why print so slow.

    Should be able to knock that out in 2-3 hours I would think, and after sanding and painting would look identical.

    But then I'd never sand or paint stuff anyway. :-)

    I didn't plan to paint it. Was hoping to leave it in silver but I wasn't quite happy with the roof finish in one area so I wanted to fix it.

    I don't believe in pushing machines to run flat out. So I run my printer slow. As a general rule: outer perimeter and first layer 25, all the rest at 50. Rapid is set at 80. Gives consistently good results.

    UPDATE:

    This is design in such a way the whole model is parameter controlled. Since I print these quite regularly for all sorts of people I simply change the parameters for phone width and thickness and the model updates (for those not familiar with CAD practices).

    Last night I started printing two new ones for the S5 mini. This time I upped the feeds...

    was: outer shell = 25, rest = 50
    now: outershell = 40, rest 60.

    The result is quite impressive. All the issues I had with my silver ABS are gone. Got an amazing finish.

    still at 0.1 layer ?

    I don't print that fast. normal for most pla would be 60mm/s s3d tends to sort the rest out and it never actually prints at 60mm/s.

    For flexible filaments I tend to knock it down to around 40.

    Layer wise 0.2 is the highest resolution I use. 90% of things get printed at 0.3.
    Occasionally if I've got a big thing I'll print it at 0.4 - and just ignore s3d's wingeing about things not being in proportion - or whatever it says. Works just fine :-)

    I'm definitely speed over finish :-)
