Random 3D printing chatter

I wouldn't want to be using a bed slinger on a print that large.

Flinging all that weight fast will not be ideal

Sounds like they've thought of that to some degree, with some added tech compared to the A1

Chamber printers are just better regarding this as there is no bed slinging, it also doesn't rule out ABS printing etc with the higher ambient temps required though you could somewhat mitigate that with some sort of aftermarket enclosure.
 
I moded my ender 3 into switchwire. and it was printing fine.. but just the amount of space that bedslinger requires is the biggest downside
 
330mm*320mm*325 mm
Cutting tool head cover
£319

Not a bad proposition for a first printer for someone with the space, or a second simple PLA/PETG machine.

Can see a market for it!
 
yup, looks like a good piece of kit for the money.

The cricut style add on looks interesting - don’t underestimate how big that crowd is, Mrs Sk8 has had a cricut for years and uses it a fair bit.

Sounds like a terrible idea - a 3D printer that does something else that my wife or daughter decide they like using :cry:.
 
Chaps, I need a small plastic bracket for a lawn mower. The part isn't available anymore, but I have bodged something temporarily, and wondered how plausible it was sending someone with a printer a small 1" size part to be produced/ copied was? My guess is using nylon. How feasible is this really?
Near enough like this, but not exact part:

I see Bambu have now discontinued PETG-HF which is what I use for majority of the things I make and sell. I've used Elegoo PETG rapid in the past which is fine but you do not go the same matte finish that I ideally need. Anyone got any recommendations for a PETG that can be printed fast that does not come out shiny? Thankfully I've got about 25 refills for the time being.

I wasn't aware it had been discontinued - I thought it had just been out of stock for a while

Probably worth grabbing some then before it runs out

I'm not sure that the delivery on the 8th June is going to happen as it also says "PETG HF is discontinued and will not be restocked once sold out". Maybe that will be after the delivery on the 8th who knows. I've seen Sunlu now do a PETG High Speed in Matte which I'll try. Annoyingly I understand the additives added to PETG to make it high speed and matte just weakens the PETG and makes it's properties closer to PLA however it's just enough of an improvement to justify.

I've started the PETG GF from Tinmorry I got based on Cenedd's recommendation and it's come out with a matte finish, maybe take a punt on one of those if it's what you want?

That's all I seem to use now plus a small amount of TPU, it prints great with no visible lines.
