What are you Printing?

Unread post by Marshall Wilson »

One of the first prints I made - with my old Anet A8 - Was a foot bar for our corner cabinet in the kitchen. When I built out our kitchen 10 years ago (I made all the cabinets myself as well as all the other renovation work :) ) I was going to machine/fabricate a custom pull for the corner cabinet, where we keep the trash can. I never got around to making anything from metal; Instead my wife & I would just pull the cabinet open from below, using the foot. This went on for years while I castigated myself for not making a nice metal pull. But then it occurred to me that it is way easier to open the trash with a foot! So one of the first prints I made was to make a custom "foot pull" for the cabinet. Pictured here is maybe the 3rd generation....

last thing I printed was a Star Wars chess set. What a pain it was to print all those pieces. Set it up to run a 28 hour print as things were going well and as the printer was getting closer to the end of the prints it started to make more sounds and someone thought that was not good and turned it off. Estimate was that there was only about an hour or 2 left to finish it and the way it was shut down there was no recovery option.

@David Matula,
Cura has a print one piece at a time setting. I've had your similar problem before and since I discovered that, I always use that setting for large prints of items.
A guy over on youtube has a bunch of great tips like that. His channel is CHEP https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsdc_0 ... FEn2dRDJhg

What a huge pain. I think my Prusa has a recover option where it will start where it left off if power is disconnected etc. Luckily I've never had to use it though. :)

I bought a cheap bandsaw off of Amazon. It did well enough for wood, but I wanted to be able to cut metal with it. I printed a bigger pulley and ordered a longer belt. It allowed me to cut stainless this weekend, although the blade was dead by the end. I think I need to go one step bigger.

This is one of the most useful things I've printed. These shims go from 1/16 to 5/8 by 1/32. I use them all the time, but mainly because the people who built this house didn't own a level, or even a straight edge.

When they poured the slab, the workers must have taken the day off, and the concrete truck just dumped the load and left. There is a spot in the middle of the kitchen that is 1" higher than the low spot 8' away. It made tiling the kitchen a lot of fun.

The screws... this was xactly what I/we did in construction remodels... yeah, totally useless but I got use to having all the screw slots vertical!
So, of course, any home I've lived in, they're vertical.
A friend of ours noticed this and twisted about 10 of them off kilter... grumph

Yeah, a coworker leaves his house/car keyring on his desk and all the keys are oriented the same way. One day I flipped one...Sure enough the next day it was fixed.

Yup, you can tell if an electrician does good work if he orients all his screws vertically! Shows he pays attention to detail!
