I decided to break out a project I started a while ago (a common refrain) and finish re-printing some parts of this 3D Sets model:
All of the body pieces are printed, but the filament I chose for the mechanical parts (gearbox, suspension, etc) was a little too rough and not really printed very accurate, so I’m re-printing those parts with Polymaker PLA which I’ve had way more success with.
This printer has almost 1,500 hours on it and still going strong.
This is the latest sign, another NYC logo.
This one was a bit over-extruded because of some first-layer issues I was having, should not have bumped up the extrusion rate that much to compensate for the nozzle being a bit high for some reason. That reason being probably some dried up plastic stuck on the nozzle. The Voron Tap is great otherwise. This machine used to be a nightmare to QGL and mesh, but since I upgraded to Tap it levels quickly every time, and breezes through a mesh. I’m eagerly awaiting a chance to install it on my second printer.
