Finally, after its northern hemisphere tour courtesy of FedEX, the Prusa MK3S+ kit has arrived...

O2

Welcome to the Prusa Club. I have 2 Mini?s, a MK3S/MMUs+ and a five head XL on order?. Not a print farm, more of a garden.

The print beds that they have are what I consider to be the biggest things. PLA and PETg stick great to the smooth and textured sheet respectively, and the new ?satin? one works for both. The satin sheet on the mini is allowing me to print 25mm by 180mm tall round towers with out a brim or anything with out issues after about 6 prints. Still looking for a perfect solution for taulman Nylon/PCTPE. The smooth sheet with glue stick, a brim, and scotch tape to hold down the brim is my best solution.

I?ve printed all kinds of doo-dads. ARCA rail bipod adaptors, forend barrier stops, MP15-22 base plateretainers, HK PSP heat-shield/light-rail addons. MDT shorted me on a chassis from the Black Friday sale, so I?m going to print a chassis for my CZ457 this week.

Looking forward to the XL. Want to get some set up for PPSU, PEKK and maybe some PEEK. My lab at work just got a Filabot extruder and I was playing in the lab making some PET filament.

I have the older generation of Mk3 with an upgrade kit I plan installing over the holiday period. I eyeballed the new press release of the new Max size version of the printer - - coming real soon, and has the ability to work with 5 different print heads. The printer is not that hard to setup, and if you do it slowly and make sure you keep everything square it should calibrate without any issues.

Scored 6 boxes for $11.99 box at the local farm and ranch store. Not a great price, but pretty good in today's market.

^ pretty good deal there.

I was at MicroCenter in Denver Sat to pickup some parts and noticed a guy with a shopping cart full of PLA....he was a local toy maker and that was 2 week supply.

I tried out a new router for access point to by pass my upstairs network issues - fast....no love - oh; peak bandwidth was 3x faster (or more) - but the lag was 10 to 15 seconds before things data started to move. I fixed up one damaged chewed up cable that got me back online without wifi.

So no pretty picture of that router until I figure out if it is a lemon or not.

Where are you guys getting your gun parts STL from? I'm just getting started and have already tired of making upgrade parts for the Ender and different color Pikachu for my grandson (testing filaments).

Currently only have PLA+ for the generic stuff and PETG for other. Using bed weld and the stock glass plate. Works great if I keep the temps on the upper end. I'm impressed with how well this (relatively) cheap large bed printer is doing out of the box with minimal stringing and solid layers.

I started with Prusa slicer just yesterday and it seems to work pretty well for the most part.

I think that the design stage is the biggest advantage and hurdle for 3D printing. The printers are pretty reliable now, the materials are usuable for functional objects.

I design my own things in TinkerCad- like a 3rd grader. I’ve tried to step up to Fusion360, but I don’t use it enough to stay proficient. TinkerCad is simple enough and powerful enough for what I can do, but I need to step it up. TinkerCad has some serious limitations, especially on modding current designs.

I try to keep my ‘white’ online presence gun-stuff-free; no overt FB posts, no pics of guns directly attributed. Have had some bleed over to the ‘tactical black’ side. I have some accounts set up for pictures and for posting STL files. I was hoping to get that up and running over the Holidays since I want to post some designs I have.

One thing I do for function, is with the parts horizontal layers, I leave holes vertically, and then use wood screws to ensure that the layers have more integritry. Has really worked for me on high stress items like the ACRA bipod mount.

In-n-Out is all right, fries kind of suck.

Always loved that body style.
