First 3d printer - Ender 3 pro
Pete.:
Well, I'm still crocked after nearly taking my finger tip off with a wood chisel so I've been putting some work into drawing and printing parts. I find it hard to just 'come up' with ideas so I've decided to make a working model from a 125 year old patent.
I won't reveal what it is until it's finished but feel free to guess :D
Here are the first parts.
PekkaNF:
Thank you guys. I checked some videos of this Ender 3 Pro and looks like me and my daughter are getting this one 50/50%. It's all your fault influence. Daughter will print some small parts for anime armor/features. Would be nice to be able to print soft tabs and joints. For me this is going to be motivation to learn Fusion and maybe later to advance to CNC machines.
Q: What else do we need to get started on Christmass holidays? Several reels of neutral color filament? Some easy filament to start and some different materials o test dice size parts?

Pete.:
It'll come with a small loose spool of PLA which is enough for a handful of prints, probably 4-5 hrs printing. A 1kg reel will have over 300m and last you a good while. I bought a reel of white and a reel of black but I sometimes with I had bought a colour so it would be easier to photograph.
PekkaNF:
Thank you Pete!
1.75mm PLA?
Pete.:
Yes 1.75.
I draw my parts in Sketchup but fusion is reportedly much better for it. When you get the printed it'll have a SD card included with instructions and slicer software on it.
If you are going to use Sketchup let me know as I have found a couple of ways to avoid tripping yourself up.
