That's probably a question for Joules, though I know flexible filament is available, being a thermo-plastic there will be temperature constraints. This is fun - I've just created a 'Clip' in Fusion360 to hold the Poly-carbonate screens together on my Wire EDM machine to replace the crude use of cable 'p-clips' - if the proto-type fits then I'll make a further 5 of them :ddb: |

So now this really IS a first for me :ddb: I've drawn something in Fusion360 that I actually wanted, then printed it and it works :clap: Still struggling with Fusion360 - it isn't coming naturally to me, I'm used to whacking in numbers directly to get things aligned and sized, but no doubt familiarity will improve things :scratch: |

Sorry, printed elastomers are outside my zone, I have found none to have characterristics I would be happy with. However, what I have done is print moulds and cast my own soft rubber/gasket type components. |

While it was set up I made ten of the little clips, reasoning that they are the sort of thing that dissapears when needed :thumbup: |

Well today my ambition knew no bounds with the Cetus3D printing solidly all day making my biggest print yet - a spool / reel holder for the filament that clips onto the body of the printer, rather than being a separate item. The design is not mine, I lifted it from the Cetus forum, though it is also on Thingyverse - no point in re-inventing the wheel :ddb: The basic frame - the black bit in the pictures took over 6 hours to print, and the white supporting peg took almost 3 hours, so the poor little printer has been churning away for over nine hours solid. Interesting design with the two parts screwing together with a coarse printed thread. The black base is pretty well as big as the print bed, so although I can print taller I cannot make things of a much larger cross section. The white peg was a bit of a pain to separate from it's supporting structure (the stuff that makes temporary scaffolding for the construction.) All together rather pleasingly successful :clap: |
