Hello, I’m sharing this little thing I designed, it’s for screwing 12mm led pixels instead of drilling holes, I find it easier and also not destructing the support by making big holes, so you can reuse it if you want to change the layout. I thought some people could be interested
At 70mm/s it takes +/-12 minuts to print, I printed 100 of them in 20 hours.
I upload on a site (i.materialize) to see how much they would charge for the job, it was 15$ per item … so big win for my 200$ chinese printer …
Here I was completely okay with NOT owning a 3d printer. You’ve officially ruined that notion. Thanks for sharing, any comments on that particular printer before I pull the trigger?
@Jarrod_Wagner I haven’t owned or used another printer, so it’s hard for me to compare. It does great prints on my opinion, small or big ones. Basic advice : have the belt very tight when you add them, calibrate your motors, it’s very easy, I print a 10cm * 10cm object and measure, then adjust the steps/mm in the config, you’ll find tons of guides online. Level the bed regularly. Painter tape and glue to have your objects stick to the bed. It sounds complicated but you get it quickly
@Philippe_Maegerman Quick top if you ever need to print volumes again…
When you upload the part, connect a bunch together with the smallest rod you can.
This way, you are printing one part, with one setup charge, not 100 parts with 100 setup charges…
