A useful 3D print

<< < (4/6) > >>

awemawson:
I have to say Joules, the finish on that 3D print looks excellent. Was that a top end super-duper machine or a little whizzbang one?

Joules:
It's a low-mid range printer, that goes through extensive tuning in house.  I made a set of alignment tools, as I have three of these printers used for work.  They are serviced once a year and rebuilt, so the effort making custom tools has been well worth it.  They don't produce this quality off the shelf, but did meet the requirements I had for the chassis.

Joules:
Cheers Matthew, yeah it is enjoyable designing in CAD and then making something with no hands on, and no swarf.   Work has fell off a cliff at the moment, so I have way too much time on my hands than is safe...   Plenty of small designs and widgets keep the mind active and the machines in working order.

Jay, I added the STL file.  If you do have a shot at making one, post a picture here.  That goes for anyone else too.

p.s  The plug that seals the vial in place could do with a slight increase in diameter by 0.1mm unless you glue it in.

Joules about the stl file you posted and grabbed  :beer:. The site requires a log-in or register which may put some off.
Pete

Joules:
Thanks Pete, I forgot you now need to register to download files from GrabCad, though I must say if you are into 3D printing it's a site well worth using.  I have added a zipped version of the STL for anyone not wanting to sign up to yet another place.
