3D printers and stuff related to them or made on them!

I really enjoy my 3D Printer.

First real "thing" I made was a template to locate a third bolt hole when doing "the 3 bolt head mod" to my BF20........which also required the purchase of a proper drill press, well at least a decent bench mount one.

I used it endlessly to create some tiny trunking for the rewire of the control cabinet. Along with mount frames for the Odroid & mesa cards, and various custom wire brackets.

My son is into painting mini figures, and he's really good at it,(if I can find a cheap ex medical skeleton I'm going to ask him to go to town on it) so when he bought an airbrush setup I was able to print a holder for the air brush. Next on the list is paint shaker as he found an old electric fan by the side of the road.

Been thinking about a resin printer, I like trains, and saw this, pretty good resolution:


There is also a mini version which I think the young bloke may get as either a Birthday or Christmas present, so he can print out minis.

The only downside is I have a box of prints that came out wrong as the CAD guy can be a bit of a dill at times.

Hey Tommylight any chance you may convert one of your big plasma tables to a 3-D printer?
Just think of the scale of parts you build. Although I'd hate to see the size spool of filament you would need. LOL

I was about to suggest that the work envelope was wrong. But for 3D maps of mountain ranges it could be perfect.

What about a large mat of LEGO type shapes, for days that you need to inflict some distress to bare feet.

I might order a 3d printer this week.
One comes here fro shelter to keep to the existing methods of burning time and money and now...

got my crs 10 pro v2 yesterday ,
Tomy infected me with this 3D printing virus.
enjoy )))))

boil mine up this weekend:

the first test ran surprisingly well.

no my first 24h job is running

this shall become the first test of sk30 holder to go non on my mill.

after all it's getting better than expected an I should have done this sooner.

If it would have gone to plan, they would have been slightly oversized. But I need to start over anyway:

Looks like warp, crash, mess. I‘ll give it another try with the collet trays. For sk30 will print cones only and make the tray out of sheet metal
