Show Your Best Recent Prints (:D (Pics Inside) I am curious as to the RepRaper (...plural RepRapai?) state of the union. I thought it might be fun to explore the printing quality the average 3D printing hobbyist is achieving nowadays. Here is a print I made last night: [img]http://thingiverse-production.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/31/54/59/76/5d/image_display_medium.jpg[/img] [b]Print Stats:[/b] 3D Model (STL): [url=http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10752]Yoda Lite by Faberdasher[/url] Filament: [url=http://www.repraper.com/goods.php?id=193]"Christmas Green" PLA By RepRaper[/url] RepRap: [url=http://reprappro.com/Huxley]RepRap Pro Huxley[/url] (Though Heavily Modified) Hot-End: Custom Made w/ 0.5mm Nozzel and [url=http://store.qu-bd.com/product.php?id_product=23]QUBD's Ceramic Heating Element[/url] Slicing Program: [url=http://slic3r.org/]Slic3r 0.9.8[/url] ([b]Go Get This![/b]) Slicing Parameters: 0.2mm Layers, Hollow, Single Perimeter, 185C, Full Fan Post Print Processing: None I am hoping you might follow suit and show one of your nice recent prints. It would be great to get a run down, on your printer parts, and paraphernalia. Seeing what you guys are using usually helps me pick parts and pieces to try out: I would also love to see links to the STLs you are using, so other members can try to "beat" you as it were ;) [b]P.S.[/b] Does anyone know where I can find the STL for the Chess Rook that has a staircase inside of it? I can't find it for the life of me. The Form1 guys were using that as a demo piece, and I want to try it out! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,182938#msg-182938 Wed, 14 Oct 2026 16:32:34 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,184002#msg-184002 Re: Show Your Best Recent Prints (:D (Pics Inside) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,184002#msg-184002 I'm also going to build a Mendel90 in a couple months. Which with my existing Prusa, should be a proper selection of printing equipment to use for some small scale manufacturing.

Once I get the Rostock Max together I will definitely put up a review on my site and here as well.

I'm getting a SeeMeCNC Rostock Max (ordering in a day or two I'm excited), they have a guide for their kit online I believe.

Dunno about complete build guides for other builds, haven't looked.]]> xclusive585 General Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:09:57 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183991#msg-183991 Re: Show Your Best Recent Prints (:D (Pics Inside) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183991#msg-183991 Idolcrasher General Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:58:30 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183958#msg-183958 Re: Show Your Best Recent Prints (:D (Pics Inside) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183958#msg-183958 Idolcrasher General Mon, 11 Feb 2013 19:49:35 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183940#msg-183940 Re: Show Your Best Recent Prints (:D (Pics Inside) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183940#msg-183940 -------------------------------------------------------

Some of the best prints and best layer registration I have ever had have been from a Rostock, it's a great and fast printer.
It would be interesting to see speed v quality on many of these prints.]]> richrap General Mon, 11 Feb 2013 18:00:14 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183904#msg-183904 Re: Show Your Best Recent Prints (:D (Pics Inside) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183904#msg-183904 www.youtube.com] they show a Black Dynamite with an impressive reflection smoothness. Notice the print speeds on the running machines are reasonable and not blistering quick. I think the farm prints best quality at whatever speed is needed, so it looked to be around 100mm/s or so.

Those Kossels are nice machines. I haven't read up on them much, but need to.]]> davew_tx General Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:43:47 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183899#msg-183899 Re: Show Your Best Recent Prints (:D (Pics Inside) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183899#msg-183899

I doubt an actual Rostock could achieve that.

Some of the best looking prints I have ever seen were from a kossel. Take a look at digifab's flickr page, the red head on page 2 was printed on a kossel.

And this has got to be one of the best looking prints I have ever seen, also from a kossel.

crispy that is beautiful! not as good as a certain other grey box, but very good. .5mm tip?

btw I thought I was the only imgur user here.

Thanks!

Oh I totally forgot to include the details.

Ok I'll post a couple of shots now.

In the spirit of "simple is beautiful", here are a couple pictures of a 40mm box printed on my work-in-progress h-bot.

I'm not quite to the level of the previous boxes posted, but I'm certainly happy with the progress I've made in the last couple of days.]]> crispy1 General Sun, 10 Feb 2013 22:42:23 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183704#msg-183704 Re: Show Your Best Recent Prints (:D (Pics Inside) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,182938,183704#msg-183704 -------------------------------------------------------

It was printed from this specially customized elegant printer:


Here is actually a print after calibration:


Its decent I think for a duct tape printer that used toilet paper for linear bearings.

Edit: note the exposed lm8uu on the left Y rod, it was sticking so much that I just took it out of it's socket and replaced it with toilet paper.

Mitus has about $3k of spending to replicate it. it's mostly up on ThingEverse now.
I've probably wasted about $1k in random dead-end alleys and design changes.
Not bad versus a 10x6x6 Replicostly 2X from Rape-r-bot.;)

I'm hoping to print some $1k parts soon, to recoup the costs quickly.

Big picture on this link... dial-up beware!

The bust was printed on a Makerbot Replicator 2. The thing it's laying on is 1/2 of a toilet printed out of recycled milk jugs.

Approximately 3-4 mm layer height, printed in HDPE. We were experimenting with how adding detergent bottles affects the color.
