I got me 3D printer, awesome!

Nice machine Demon and lovely prints and photos, lol.

I am going to try very hard to do a thing a week next year with time-lapse video for my YouTube channel.

Plus I've got another printer on the way (NFire 1) and a Ebay purchase I found last week (Arduino Materia 101) to put together so It's going be a busy 2016 for 3D printing.

Plus the new metal hot end from Printrbot to fit.

Have a nice Christmas my fellow 3D Printer uses, lol.

James.

Very nice pictures and updates Demon

I'm glad Christmas is just about over because if someone asks me to make one more snow flake I will go mad :mad:

Well I was going to hold this off until after Xmas as it's a present for someone but they should see this so...

Behold a 3D printed Lightsaber with light up blade.

And a video

Thanks absolutely fantastic dude. How long in total did it take you?

Print time was about 11hrs plus a few extra parts when I modified them to fit a blade.

Then it took a few days to paint (with drying time) and then wiring and fitting it all in.

Just hope my brother likes it, then I get to make one for myself :-)

Sweet man , let me know how it goes. I might try and get it printed here if I can find a place and its reasonable. The delid tool on the shop is is expensive enough

I've fixed the STL file. It will take another hour or two to finish.
I don't want any money if you have it.

Just been told it's got another 5-7 hours to run

I did put the infill at 100% and good finish settings

I always do the same, if I'm printing for other people, I try to make it look as good as possible!!!

Just installed my 35W heater, and so can use a variety of fan ducts now, so will be trying a few test prints to figure out which works best..

I've just printed a Maker Faire robot for my son, it came out quite well, the only scarring is where their built in supports attached..

Finished and I've sent you a email via trust.

I was going to print that other version. But 50 hours is a bit long for me

I never knew OCUK sold something like this. But at £60!! yikes.

I'm having problems buying PET+ FILAMENT here in the UK

MarkeR · 6 Jan 2016 at 14:21

Guys

It was suggested I post here, looking for some help in designing a case for the below screen.

http://www.waveshare.com/product/mini-pc/5inch-hdmi-lcd-b.htm

I also need mounting holes in the back, which I have still to measure out.

Can anyone help?

The base that the box is to sit on is below. The two outer screws cannot be removed, so I would like them to be able to go into the box, so that it can sit flush against the unit. Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks

You could search here http://www.thingiverse.com/ for LCD case or something like that.

Oh, found one that is for the same screen.

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:713001

How easy would it be to modify that design for my dimensions?

Cheers

Use FreeCAD. Then make sure there are no errors in the STL file or it won't print.

Finally upgraded my Wanhao Duplicator i3 to have a blower fan. MUCH better prints. Now to just dial in the temps to get rid of some of the stringing...
