Cool, I like the 3-piece GTR. Double-sided tape or nailed?

double sided tape, used for displays. Removeable with heat . Im renting this place so no nails.

The cap on Toyota Corolla Verso 2005 for the washer tank was gone....apparently someone had the same predicament and there was a model on Thingverse.

A lot of things went wrong with this one: broke filament inside the bowden tube (I didn't stop the print, I let it run to clear the tube anyway), orientation was inclined, which required supports....should've put it flat on the x/y-axis. Anyhow, I am not sanding, this was just a test-fit. Material: PLA+, 230/60 temps, speed 20/mm per sec.

Live and learn, only to forget and repeat
Btw, wouldn't petg be better cause it may come in contact with water?

i was wondering the same!

Engine bay with its temp, ABS should be default IMO. I asked a friend with a much nicer machine than mine and he made me 3pcs in 37 min from ABS.

I wanted to see if print on the Z-axis will be cleaner )

The deodorant I use has this stupid rounded cap so you can never get the last bits out without using a cup/egg holder. So I modified the peni....I mean designed a 2-piece ring. As I don't like crap laying around, and knowing myself misplacing it, it needed to be mounted to the (tile) wall using double-sided tape.

 

[SN2716057]

Wall mount for the Oral-B toothbrush [link]

I modified the design so it would fit just 1 electric base.

Guys i am suddenly getting really bad adhesion issues. I have cleaned and washed the glass, checked levelling... etc

any other reasons to check for? even the nozzle is fine.

EDIT: raised the temp by 10C.. so far so good? winter is here i guess

Probably. An enclosure would answer that with more certainty. I live in a desert, so winter isn't really winter.

goddamnit. Vase mode is making i lift. i am out of options.

Have you changed anything in your routine? Like it was going fine for 10 prints and all of a sudden adhesion issues developed? Had the glass any thin film when you bought it? May be it has worn out, I've never used glass, so I can't say. What filament are you using? How do you store yours? Do you have a dryer for it?

Anything other than PLA/ PLA+ , enclosure is kind of mandatory in my experience. Long pieces of PETG I get warps, because I leave it overnight and temp in the room drops significantly, or so I think

Too much temp on the bed and you might get elephant's foot, experiment and see. I am very mild on the temps and go as low as conditions allow me, but I see professional dudes going pretty high IMO on the bed temps.

nah, the ambient temp has suddenly dropped. I am using PLA+, i upped the base temp by 5 to 65C now its printing fine.

I guess being sort of winter now, the glass bed isnt getting enough heat into it and the filament is cooling too quickly and shrinking.

Filament storage i have vaccum bags with silica gel. Relative humidity here is pretty low 20-30% so didnt face issues with humid filament before unless crappy ones that were crap from the manufacturer.

They can be, but not so much so around the city. The lowest overnight right now is 40-50F. I've lived up in the mountains of the state and the lowest I saw there was -11F.

dude 50F is indeed cold lol.

 

[Fokker]

It's only about 70F in the house without the heat on. I would open a window in the winter when I lived in the mountains.

 

[jak_2456]

by your standards. I think "cold" is less than 40 °F.

 

[de.das.dude]

if i need to put on more clothes then yes its cold. Im good till around 15C.

Last winter we had -45C here.

Anyway guys 2 mm is quite thick isn't it? Ran out of white.

thick? yes. thicc? no

btw your slicer seems to think your bed is smaller than it is. based on the initial nozzle cleaning stripe on the left

If he hadn't modified the initial G-Code at the beginning of the file. The nozzle cleaning stripe is coded in the initial code set of the slicer.

Ohh is that why that is? Cool.

Mine does that too

 

[de.das.dude]

Mine does that too

Y U NO FIX.

got some hot wheels, so designing a display rack. Didnt like any of the ones i found online, too slow to print and too complicated. the focus should be on the cars not the rack lol.

made a simple phone stand.


i hate when people complicate things and make it harder to make.

EDIT: almost doxxed myself.

My adhesion was not happening... i checked and saw my bed was wonky. I suspect the cat is sitting on it after i am done printing... because of the heated bed.
