UK - anyone up for printing a couple of test parts?
August 14, 2011 12:22PM
Hi, I'm thinking about building a mendel - but first, I need to test out a couple of concepts to see how they print, and whether they work in the context of the project I'm doing.

I'd very much appreciate it if anyone fancies printing the test parts (attached). This is my first attempt at proper 3D CAD work, and I've no real idea how realistic it is to expect these to print properly - please be gentle smiling smiley

Just thinking in terms of postage, I'm based in Cambridge, UK. Goes without saying that I'm very happy to pay an appropriate fee!

Many Thanks

Jon

They are very large, and outside the size range of 95% of all repraps.

While everybody likes to tout "200X200 build area" it is very rare that it is actually achieved.

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback.

It may be that I can shrink the parts down a bit - what's your view on a more realistic build envelope for a Mendel? Is this affected by whether or not the build plate is heated?

Cheers

Jon
