Nicer than mine!

Nicer than mine!

If you mean quality then you'll be surprised to learn I did each "leaf" with 0.25mm layer 3 perimeters and each batch took just about 1hr instead of the time you see here on each!

That's a triangle

Is the square square though...

First big print, 3hrs each for the column /turntable and 40m for the top with my speed settings.

Lino/Woodcut Tool Rack

This is a turntable holder for up to nine Pfeill (or similar) palm gouges for lino or wood cutting. It is in three pieces, and will require the addition of a 22mm skateboard bearing. I also added a couple of layers of masking tape to get the bearing snug on its spindle. Total height when...

That's a great looking print. Designed for support free printing? It's come out really clean.

Yea didn't require any supports although that might have been because of my tweaked settings as fiddled with overhang angle etc. Stock settings the column should have taken closer to 4hrs but my 0.25mm layer height and ramped up speeds brought it down to 3hr.

Thanks to @sardine for rescuing this lovely old box from the skip.

I had some bits of honeycomb (?) wall mounting guff from Thingiverse.

Made up some simple key hangers in Sketchup.

Also made up some not so simple shelf, tilting drawer thing in Sketchup.

Gave it a print in place hinge.

Took almost no time at all. This took DAYS to get right and nine design iterations...

It now clicks shut, stays shut and opens just like you might expect.

I fussed over that damned catch for DAYS...

First time back in here for a long time.
Have sensible priced printers come on enough now for a plug and play approach or do you still need to fettle them during the build & then play with them to get them to work?

Choice is yours! There are a number of ready to use printers available at realistic prices now. I use a K1 Max personally, after building up my Ender 3 V2 with all the upgrades. The K1 just does what it is asked to do.

The Bambulabs seems to be where its at, at the moment. Recently bought a P1s and so have several others on here. They are just plug and play. With the bonus of being quite quick too.

Same here. Not gone as far as we could with upgrading the Anycubic i3 Mega S here but the new Bambu X1 Carbon just works.

Saying that the print quality on the Anycubic is still really good.

Another shout for Bambu Labs. Just got a P1S comby. It simply does just work and feels like it's built to carry on doing so ;o)

 

[Bladevane]

I bought a Bambu Mini which was very impressive. Compared to my Caribou (snail) and my upgraded Prusa Mk3.5 (hare) it's a jaguar. The Bambu is as close to plug-and-play that I can imagine at the moment.

Is the mini as fast as the x1 carbon?
