I also have a few projects in mind that will require tires that are not available so I want an inexpensive printer for that purpose.
I could print them on the P1S but...
It looks like the mini could be the right tool for the job.
I would say based on my own experience it depends what you are trying to do, and the targeted shore. Anything below shore 60A, your only direct solution is called rubber resin when it comes to printer. Otherwise it will be printed mold and by component resin (and for this the printer needed could be your P1S with 0.2 nozzle because you are not going to print TPU).XLR8 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2024 6:26 pm Sorry, the temptation has already been generated.![]()

For 60A and upper you could do with a FDM printer (with the same limitation i'm facing with the X1C, I suppose, if you consider a P1S): and likely you will need to think about TPE rather than TPU. When you have mutliple walls with TPU it becomes more rigid, and it is not the case with TPE which behaves differently... I'm still to find the right material for tires (well : because I'm trying to get tires I can run, as if it was for the shelves, we won't care at all).
At the end, it is going to be experimentations, just like I did with the Anycubic Photon M3...
Perfect! This is what we were hoping for.silvertriple wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 3:45 pm ... Beside this, not much to say about this print : the quality is very similar to what was printed from the X1C and in terms of speed, it's not that different.

I'm just thinking that time wise it is 18 mins for the benchy on the A1 mini while 17 minutes with the X1C. But the X1C prints includes quite a bunch of calibration step. The benchy itself is probably more like 12-13 minutes...XLR8 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 4:10 pmPerfect! This is what we were hoping for.silvertriple wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 3:45 pm ...

I think we all agree; speed is nice but what we really want is best overall quality. Your initial print appears nearly identical to what has been printed on X1. If it requires an extra minute or two, I can live with that.silvertriple wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 5:30 pmI'm just thinking that time wise it is 18 mins for the benchy on the A1 mini while 17 minutes with the X1C.

Anyway, the target for this printer is TPU, mainly, and TPU is generally a super slow filament, so this benchy was printed with speed I won't really use with the machine...
Well, I'm reluctant to say "Soon". There is so many projects I said "soon" and delayed it would not be a great idea...XLR8 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 5:50 pm I think we all agree; speed is nice but what we really want is overall quality.

Can't wait to see your TPU test prints from the A1.![]()
