I found a neat pose-able figure on printables.com that my Ender 3 made a bit of a mess of. Just tried it on the P1S.

So what you're saying is it takes all the fun out of 3D printing?

Yeah, no more failed prints and burning hot ends every three weeks......So what you're saying is it takes all the fun out of 3D printing?

I made a little friend for the pose-able figure, an AT-ST

Toys are OK at any age! By the way, does the orange bloke realise he stepped in what looks like chewing gum...or did you print a small blue dog figure that left a couple of calling cards?I made a little friend for the pose-able figure, an AT-ST

Should we start a thread called "Stuff your 3D printer has not made today"?
If we did, this is what I'd be nominating:
It's a 120mm x 120mm fan cover that I need four of to go in my new home automation enclosure.
Because of the mesh (aka holes) it was going to take 1 hour 30 minutes to print each one and use up 1/4 KG of filament for the lot (it's only 2mm thick!).
I watched the printer labour over the holes, taking 20 minutes on the first layer (there's only eight layers!) before I gave up and went over to Amazon:
Yep - almost the same price as the filament and it will turn up round about when the printer would have been due to finish!
Sometimes, just because you can, doesn't mean you should...

I know what you mean
I recently printed a bunch of boxes to store my modelling kit on the Ender 3. Over 40 hours and 1.5kg of filament for something I could have bought for around £20 in Hobbycraft!

That is an impressive bit of 3D drawing and problem solving in the process.
How is the final item to be made, CNC milled or some other process?

It would be a good candidate for casting. The original was investment cast I think but I don't want to go down that rabbit hole this time

You could get them 3D printed in metal...may not be as expensive as you think....or CNC'd...PCBway and JLCPCB should be able to provide online quotesIt would be a good candidate for casting. The original was investment cast I think but I don't want to go down that rabbit hole this time

I got this off makerworld.com 1.5 hour print in PLA Silk.

Ref my thread on humidity, I was having mixed results with PETG but realised that my (generic) "SunLu" enclosure was lying in the other room, which kinda defeats the purpose.
So I've restarted a failed print with the printer inside the enclosure and put the Sonoff temp & humidity sensor inside the enclosure:
Seems these enclosures work!
Now if I can just get one big enough to wrap my garage...
