Stuff your 3D printer has made today...

It's all low voltage, low power stuff so should be okay....

Can't be much worse than burning cable insulation?

Cable insulation is largely self extinguishing these days.

Although the upside is, most PET-G filaments have a mild form of that too.

PLA usually melts away before it gets close to fire temps unless it has a wick, like candle wax - ABS burns like buggery.

The flaming tip, on the end of the tail is very fragile and broke off. I had to repair with a bit of 1.6mm stainless wire I filed barbs into and heated up, then used as a pin. Heated it up and pushed in at the join.

Had to do the same with a bumch of WarHammer-alikes I printed for the boy, long thin gunbarrels - used a lot of little rare-earth magnets too, to hold parts together but moveable

Part of me thinks what a waste of filament...then I think of the amount of Airfix kits I made as a kid...

Was that done with a few coloured reels of fibre silk type PLA, pausing & changing reels?

A few hairy bits close up I see, the one the lad did was really smooth but a bit messy where the supports were. I sprayed with plastic primer then primer filler before my daughter started on it with acrylic paints.

No, Rainbow PLA+ from Reprapper. I used tree supports so it took 7 and a half hours to print!

The former hangs on the front of my lathe and gives me somewhere to store the two sets of chuck jaws that aren't in the chuck at any point:

Last night, my printer made another one of these, but slightly more spread out & with a cut-out on the back for the Harrison badge:

I was going to print a 205mm turntable, 2.8mm thick and with an inner flange to drop over a smaller turntable. I gave up the idea after being shown it would take over 11 hours to produce!

print time doesn't bother me, that's the thing I love about 3d printers, set it going then walk away and forget about it

used to regularly run prints that were over 24 hours - normally because I'm jamming as much on the bed as I can with each print :-)

I'm thinking about the electricity meter ticking away!

 

[Dev]

Quick check and the one I use is about 100w when it’s going.

I thought that my Ender 3 v 2 was rated at 400W. Is that an actual measurement from yours, or the rating plate?

 

[Anguz]

My ender 3 pulls about 100 w when printing can see it in the evening on the smart meter. And sometimes know when it's finished.. in the eve we are normally using about 500w
