Why Printrbot Printrbelt?
This.

First long print was 16". Easy. Now swinging for the fences with a 6’ hollow sword I designed for fun. A dodgy few layers a foot in or so but not bad, so I let it continue just to see. Since it’s only one wall thick (.3mm), it’s got the cooling warp but who cares. It’s only 3 hours in and it’s almost 4 feet long. If it prints, I’ll print a little handle too. It’s ridiculous it’s a small-ish desktop printer. I’m getting excited about what else I can print. No yoda heads allowed. Now I’ll have to build a bigger shelf for all my indulgent plastic toys :wink: I do have some useful stuff planned, not to worry!

One nice feature: no z wobble. Since there are no acme rods on z, it’s totally flat.

And it removes itself from the heated bed. Killer. Your welcome. :wink:

Looking forward to putting it in the bot farm and knocking out continuous Smalls parts. Maybe some Printrbelt parts too;)

Amazing!!! If only…

I wanted to see this since you showed off the printer.

Damn… now you’re starting to show me up!!! :slight_smile:

Very cool @Brook_Drumm

Now that’s another printer I’d love to have. Impressive @Brook_Drumm . And so many possibilities…

:wink:

what a coincidence i am also testing a belt drive on my printer - I thought it would be great to print airfoils.

I call a spear (polearm?) next with a wicked looking blade on the end.

I’m thinking Hot Wheels track when I see that print. @Brook_Drumm ​, try anything like Ninjaflex on it yet?

Build a new shelf for all your 3d printed toys you say… More like you should 3d print a new shelf in kit form and assemble it then use you new 3d printed shelf for your collection of 3d printed toys

Go for the Totally Useless Print Award by using up a spool of filament to print a spool of filament! :slight_smile:

I think a glider wing should be next. It’s useful! And proves a point. Anyone have a model they KNOW flies?

Do you currently fly any models @Brook_Drumm ? My fleet currently has about 20 planes (small to x-large 7’wingspans) and about 8 or 9 helicopters (Trex 450’s and 500’s) I really need to thin down my fleet.

@Brook_Drumm here from a colleague https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1666561 but it is not a glider.
