I thought I'd give them a print if they're only going to take an hour. do you happen to know which way Bas oriented the top? the bottom seems like it will be much easier to print 2015-07-16 06:09 no, i don't know how he orientated them. maybe the slicer has some automatic rotation or such 2015-07-16 06:10 and yes, the 1 hour is amazing. i thought it would take something like 5 or 6 hours. seems that 3d printers have grown up :) 2015-07-16 06:10 I'll see if I can make it take longer on mine by printing with higher quality settings :) 2015-07-16 06:14 hehe ;-) what printer do you have ? 2015-07-16 06:14 it's a Lulzbot TAZ 2.1. it's a bit big but it came with all the design files and source code on a 4GB SD card 2015-07-16 06:16 "Lulzbot"? 2015-07-16 06:17 yes, the 3D printer company with the silliest name: https://www.lulzbot.com/ 2015-07-16 06:18 and open frame construction. gets rave reviews 2015-07-16 06:22 rotated versions: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/case-interim/top-flat.stl http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/case-interim/bottom-flat.stl http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/case-interim/knob-flat.stl 2015-07-16 06:23 great, cheers! I'll get slicing 2015-07-16 06:23 (they're also generated when you run case.py in freecad) 2015-07-16 06:24 (slicing) sounds like the summary of a tarantino movie ;-) 2015-07-16 06:25 lol. now I won't be able to un-think that every time I'm slicing 2015-07-16 06:25 knob looks perfectly flat in Blender now, great 2015-07-16 06:29 hmm, this one should be able to print about 20 cases per hour, at 300 dpi: http://www.voxeljet.de/en/systems/3d-druckervx200/ 2015-07-16 06:30 layers are fat, though, 150 um 2015-07-16 06:31 crikey that looks like a beast 2015-07-16 06:33 not all expensive commercial printers are worth the money though. a civil engineer friend of mine often brings work for my TAZ because their expensive printer can't do it or do it well enough 2015-07-16 06:34 hehe ;-) yes, some of the big iron has abysmal specs 2015-07-16 06:35 it's amazing that these things are completely blind. they whip their super-heated hot ends around like lightning with no concern for where your arms and fingers are 2015-07-16 06:39 well, there is an excellent array of sensors that immediately detects any problems, initiates countermeasures, and sounds an audible alarm :) 2015-07-16 06:41 as long as those countermeasures involve cuss words then it's all good 2015-07-16 06:42 yes, you can often configure the language :) 2015-07-16 06:43 I've never had anyone reach out and touch the hotend although I always explain that its twice as hot as boiling water 2015-07-16 06:46 "it's about as hot as the boiling tar they doused the enemies trying to storm the castle with" :) 2015-07-16 07:33 pcercuei has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 07:39 pcercuei has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 2015-07-16 07:42 jwhitmore_ has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 08:10 pcercuei has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 10:04 infobot has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 2015-07-16 10:05 infobot has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 10:58 atommann has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds] 2015-07-16 11:26 jwhitmore_ has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 2015-07-16 11:28 jwhitmore_ has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 12:02 xiangfu has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 12:04 marcus has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 2015-07-16 12:12 atommann has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 12:45 pcercuei has quit [Quit: brb] 2015-07-16 12:49 atommann has quit [Quit: Leaving] 2015-07-16 12:50 pcercuei has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 12:56 xiangfu has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 2015-07-16 13:21 rjeffries has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 14:36 xiangfu has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 14:38 xiangfu has quit [Client Quit] 2015-07-16 15:48 rjeffries has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 2015-07-16 16:17 pcercuei has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds] 2015-07-16 16:54 Jay7 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 2015-07-16 16:54 Jay7 has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 17:12 wolfspraul has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 17:19 KeithGS has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 2015-07-16 17:19 sb0 has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 2015-07-16 17:20 KeithGS has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 17:21 sb0_ has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 18:14 jekhor has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 18:23 arossdotme-nolog has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds] 2015-07-16 18:23 arossdotme has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds] 2015-07-16 18:25 sb0_ has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds] 2015-07-16 18:26 sb0 has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 18:36 arossdotme-nolog has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 19:16 wej has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 2015-07-16 19:18 sb0 has quit [Quit: Leaving] 2015-07-16 19:23 wej has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 19:23 sb0 has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 19:38 arossdotme-nolog has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat] 2015-07-16 19:53 wej has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds] 2015-07-16 19:58 wej has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 20:09 jekhor has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 2015-07-16 20:10 wolfspraul has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 2015-07-16 20:28 wej has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 2015-07-16 20:39 sb0 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 2015-07-16 20:55 sb0 has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 21:03 wej has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 21:16 wej has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 2015-07-16 21:24 wej has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 21:43 jwhitmore_ has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds] 2015-07-16 22:08 valhalla has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 2015-07-16 22:30 valhalla has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 23:10 viric has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 2015-07-16 23:28 ccnnjj has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 2015-07-16 23:33 wej has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds] 2015-07-16 23:34 flevopolder has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds] 2015-07-16 23:38 flevopolder has joined #qi-hardware 2015-07-16 23:42 wej has joined #qi-hardware
