more monster

I just discovered something in Cura that's solved a gear printing problem I came up against , I was trying to print a low tooth count 0.8 mod gear and when I sliced it it was in a lot of places just printing the outer wall and leaving the tooth virtually hollow like a vase print . I tried a ton of things to resolve the problem until I stumbled on this , you can in Cura adjust the outer wall line width , I've used this function on vase prints (a vase print is only one wall thick and mostly used for printing light weight vases ) to make them stronger and water proof by making the wall wider , in this case I went the other way and instead of a 0.4 mm wall width I went for 0.3 mm and it worked perfectly .
I think I may have invented something useful for a change !

Drew up and printed the reduction gear , it's to replace a gear in the Ishipla Monster that runs on a bushing that has no equivalent bearing so this one can take two 6x3x3 flanged bearings

I just found another part that had poor wall quality with 0.4 outer wall so I tried 0.3 and its perfect again
this is an RC10 caster block and you can see a dip in the wall at 0.4 mm wall now with the 0.3 mm wall .

Two days ago I received a Bambu Labs P1P , the following day an upgrade package of parts to run abrasive filaments , jumbo cooling fan and a fan for the control board as I intend to make an enclosure for it , anyway I just finished fitting all the kit of parts and I've run a few prints , man oh man this thing is good ! its one thing to read reviews or watch them on YouTube but to actually see it is another thing , once I have it enclosed I can't see me using my other printers ever again ! its producing better prints at three times or more the speed , it doesn't look real watching it

You are making me jealous here man! lol

I can't say that I'm surprised, based on y own experience with the X1C... Looking forward to see your amazing prints...

Printed this Ishipla Monster chassis today but being a dumb ass I printed the wrong file , now waiting another 4 hours for the proper version to print lol , super impressed with the quality especially the ironing feature that gives a smoothed finish to flat top surfaces.

Oooo.... very nice! Is that print file from your own measurements?

{edit- I guess it would be. I forgot you modelled the entire buggy.}

I've not played with ironing yet, as most of my prints until now were not requiring it, and most often than not having curved top : and for this adaptative layers gives very nice results...

I've done ironing before on my Creality printers and Cura but the Bambu Lab just does it better , it's shiny

This is just a bit of nonsense, an articulated print in place dragon in two colour silk filament , really showcases what the P1P can do

Yeah, this is always impressive...

Just finished and fitted the Ishipla Monster chassis , I was not planning on using it but it feels so much stronger than the beaten up original that I think I will , maybe later I'll get one Pro printed.

Started designing a complete car today , object is to make an indestructible 3d printed car out of mostly TPU .
It's to have a minimum of parts , here i have the front suspension printed in only 5 parts .
It uses live pivot joints like I think it was the Kyosho Icarus ?
