I gave away almost all my old printers, got rid of 6 of the 8. I will keep my Ender 5 plus only because of the volume. After my first print with the X1C I was sold. It just works.
That said, I have had some odd things with the machines. For one,...

I've been using the Phoenix nylon and am very impressed with the bonding and strength. It has normal nylon flex. I haven't tried their glass or CF nylon yet but the s is a very good product.

This is my first attempt at 3D modelling and then 3D Printing a part , I've started with a fairly simple part , a front steering knuckle for a Yokomo Dogfighter YZ-834b , I thought i'd start with this as i need one and they are hard to find ....

I recently had 2 Kyosho OT-85 center gears (idlers) printed by Shapeways.
The gears were printed MJF PA12. Vapor smoothing or any smoothing was not an option.
The gear faces are not particularly well finished. Probably nature of the beast.
I really...

Thanks Doug
It appears that to find any Google reference to the gear and find their site you must add acetal in the search terms.
Just curious if anyone here has gotten into the resin world. It has always been in the back of my mind, but TBH, the post work has always kept me away. The brittle resin thing has also been a turn off, but I think the technology of the materials is...

I 100% need to do something about the temperature situation before I go much further. Even with this mild time of year when we get into the mid 60s (~18*C) late in the day, the thermal mass of the garage slab and mass of the metal printer are all...
First off, I’m new at this. I’m not a pro. I’m learning as I go
I have two printers. A Malyan M200 and a currently unfinished Creality CR-10s. The Malyan is printing really well right now so I’m in no hurry to finish up the Creality. The CR-10s...

Hi - has anyone used a 3D printer for parts? My understanding is the plastic is not as strong, but I guess that would depend on what material is purchased. Any have any experience with this?
Thanks!

One thing I think everyone should keep in mind when 3D printing parts is you shouldn't try and copy the original exactly, because the design of mass produced parts are largely driven by the manufacturing process, and often compromise the...
I am in the process of reassembling this car. I have absolutely everything, except this famous part. Do you know if anyone has tried to reproduce it in 3D printing, please ?
I see some of you a practically printing full cars with your printers. I'm wondering if anyone has tried any of the carbon fiber filaments? I realize in theory, it should make parts stronger and less flexible. I printed some 1.9 in Bruiser wheels...

PLA works well for wheels as long as your in a cool climate or don't leave them in the car in the sun , the CF filaments have two advantages , firstly it stiffens the plastic and second it improves layer bonding but it's not miraculous , you should...
I am hoping there is someone out there with some TPU experience that can help me out. I have thought of a couple of items that I would like to make that would have been typically made of simple black rubber. No sheen, just black rubber. I picked up...

Maybe try fuzzy skin? In Cura you can do this and it creates a textured outer wall, may give you the finish you are looking for.

Latest 3d print for the theater room. After working non stop for the past week I took some time to relax this morning and painted up my latest 3D print. Neytiri from Avatar.
Finally got some time tonight to finish up the John Wick 3D print and got it all painted. This is the first stl file I have ever paid for, got the file for $8 about a month ago off cgtrader. It's about 12 -13 tall over all.

I'm a Next Gen fan of the Star Trek franchise. There's a Picard bust on Thingiverse that I tried printing some time ago, but it had some sort of error in it and kept layer shifting about half way through. One of these days I'll have to find another...
Figured being Labor Day weekend I would take a day off work and finally finish up my 3D printed AT-AT diorama I have been working on for about the past month or so. I scaled the print up 200% and printed it in about 26 different pieces so it's about...

I also thought the print was rough compared to yours. The price was great, but the quality was something to be desired. I think they probably used the smaller machine on the part. I think it took 90 minutes to print.

If it were me and I don't really do shelf cars then I'd be adapting the static model wheels for sure , at a cost of £60 for 3d printed wheels or £100 for the real thing then I think I'd bite the bullet eventually on real ones , thing is I only have...

I'm quite lucky that the company I work at view use of their 3D printer as advantageous; If the unit is being used it stays serviceable for longer so they don't mind the odd homer here and there.

The rims in the bag are genuine items. However the extra (wide) insert and (wide) inside rim looks to have been printed. They have a very unusual texture to them. Almost like they've been sandblasted.

It doesn't have to be attached, there is a support material that is removed after the part is finished.
