3D printer delivered.

[hutch--]

3D printer just turned up. Will have to se if I can comprehend it and actually put it together.

[daydreamer]

how big is it?
you gonna use it to

Code: [Select]

print real10 Blonde?

[hutch--]

Big table, 300 x 300 x 340. Have most of it together, must wire it all up and go over all of the settings, ajust the all of the roller tracks, backlash control etc etc etc ........

Found a couple of decent Youtube videos on it but I don't have to hurry, just keep plodding along until I get it all up and going.

I've bought a Canon MG2550s a few months ago. Worked fine until a few days ago, now it throws cryptic error messages and says it wants to be repaired. There is a 2-year legal guarantee here in Europe, but I can't find the receipt, so that probably means I can throw my brand new printer into the dust bin...

digital receipt next time?track electronic transaction to shop should be possible
what did you made with it?
the real irony would be if you used another 3d printer to make spare parts to make it possible to repair it
beside asm programming I try make some 3d objects,but never tried to print out anything yet
a whole bar is too big,but parts like wine, beer,whisky and shot glasses would be small enough to print

JJ,

Depending on how you paid for it, could you find the transaction in your banking data ? These days I pay for things bought online with either Visa or Paypal and I can access either online.

I have the printer assembled but have not wired it up yet. After breakfast and fully waking up I will give it a blast. Found a Youtube video by Creality that looks OK and a far more detailed on for wiring it up and doing the ajustments so I might have it up and running by the end of the day.

Its more just the vertical learning curve with one day's experience so its worth being careful.

Wise decision, frustration = adrenaline excessive strength can break things
Just find 3d printer community where they share 3d models, might be able to answer questions if you get stuck

I have the electrics running, now I have to fully ajust all of the rubberised ball bearings so that all of the movements are low friction, smooth and not wobbly. Then there is the bed levelling and then I may be able to try a test piece from the micro SD card they supply.

I am curious if it is possible to print beer,whisky,wine,shot glasses without end up with too thin glasses or leaking glasses
Do there exist any recommended minimum thickness recommendation when creating objects for printing?

I don't know of any glass printing methods but there are at least some filaments that are reasonably translucent. They look OK in the right context but probably not up to scratch for clear glass.

Drink out of plastic? No thanks.

Well i think i need to add thickness into my usual lowpoly 3d objects,so they dont crumble when get used ,if i want to 3d print them

Big glass need to withstand weight and pressure of for example 50 cl water,if 50cl beer glass

I just enjoyed working on 3d graphics for my bar GUI ,many years 3d experience making meshes,but zero experience 3d print anything,thats why i got curious

@nocforme
Gotta start with something

[hutch--]

Something I found reading around is that with PLA, if you want to use it with food, there is some form of specialised epoxy that will completely seal the PLA so that microscopic holes between layers cannot hold bacteria.

TADA, I got the phuking thing to work !!! Levelled the bed, eventually worked out how to put a gcode file onto the supplied micro SD card and it is currently printing the first thing I could find in the slicer software that was not some useless decoration. Looks like it will take hours to finish the item, a simple door stop but at least it looks like it runs.

isnt that included in Timo's work G-code skill?
same as industrial CNC programming?
well if you want to find more things to print search for freebies
