Is it possible to print this? Results Stage 1
Overall it came out really well. I broke one of the vertical bearings - it delaminated during removing supports, but a drop of acetone sorted it out.
Tip: Use hot water that helps to loosen the support. Thats what i read some where.
Wow!
How long did that take to print?
I might need a new 3d printed wrist after cleaning this up. The vertical printed bearings are the hard ones to clean up.
Just under 30 hours!
That’s what she said.
That’s impressive for a FDM process…
I’m struggling to learn to build with support right now. This is so impressive. How… what… ::mind blown:: what are the settings you used for support?? I struggle to remove even basic support.
The support is auto-generated by the UP software and you need good quality filament to be able to remove the supports.
What filament I’d that looks multi color
It’s a tie dye filament - http://store.3dprintingsystems.com/3D_Printer_Filament/Value_ABS/Twisted-v2
@Brett_Giesler if you are using a Reprap, try using Kisslicer, it’s support generation is pretty close to the UP!, critically you need to have your flow rates and extrusion temp dialled in to ensure the support interface breaks away easily. The UP is good at supports because the slicing software is designed solely for use with UP! Printers so it knows exactly how the printer will behave which allows for the kind of fine control you need for snap-away supports.
@Bruce_Jackson You going to share the model? I can build my own in Rhino if not…
How long did the part cleanup take? (removing support, smoothing and correcting defects)
I think you just won the insane print of the week award.
amazing!
wow !
how long did it take to remove all the spruces? might be better if there was a second nozzle injecting a sandlike substance that could be just shaken off. 
I’m impressed. seriously. I didn’t think you’d be able to do it with fdm.
