Another practical use for my Reliabuild 3D printer. I had a plastic piece break on a tripod mount for my phone; but I knew what to do! Couldn’t find anything on Thingiverse for it, so I sketched up something quick in CAD and exported it to my RB2 printer. 100% infill to try and make the threaded shaft strong. Turned out great! Maybe I’ll post this on Thingiverse to fill in the gap. @Heath_Harper
Youre an animal!
I wish I had your resolution… and free time. I need print more often. 
@Neal_Grieb it’s all about the calibration…and a solid machine helps too…
@Neal_Grieb I printed this one at .06 layer height, which really helped the threads. Calibrating your filament to your printer does wonders. I’d suggest downloading and printing some of the calibration pieces on Thingiverse. Look up JP1 on Thingiverse and do a calibration print. You can check out this video for how the print should end up. https://youtu.be/0YUTCFqHcTM
Great job on this! Deserves to be posted on Thingiverse.
This printer has unleashed something in you for which I do not have a name. 
@Jeff_Parish it’s called my eximious nerd. 
I agree with you. I found I can print something quite solid now, even a battle robot’s weapon!
Onshape works perfectly !!

@ly_Zheng did you print the keyboard, or just the tablet stand?
@Daniel_Jackman ah of course the stand.
@Heath_Harper I, a long time ago, bought a DaVinci 1.0, so the solid machine is a hindrance.
As far as everything goes, the DaVinci has been quite stable (never had a clogged head, usually get good bed adhesion, and fairly predictable dimensionally), but there have been some irksome quality problems here and there (layer separation after a few months, some awkward wobble, and stretching in a single axis). Most of the time, things are good enough to fit together and last.
I have heard of people using slic3r instead of the printers proprietary software, but the proprietary software/hardware has no calibration options other than bed leveling.
The calibration I find most http://useful.is in calibrating the filament per the video above. Simply changing the diameter of the filament slightly in your slicer, cura, or whatever.
Im biased to machines since I own http://ReliaBuild3d.com, but Im happy to help the community. If you have questions on filament calibration. Dont hesitate to reach out at all!
