Hi Wayne,
How quickly does the 3D Printer, Print out it's jobs?
Ed

I'm on it Dave👍

Hi Wayne
You will need ventilation holes to keep the temperature down. Hopefully this will help reduce the noise and smell!
Mine isn't so bad temp wise if I don't use the heated base.
It's great when it works, my advice is keep experimenting, it becomes easier the more you print. if you are using websites for help then you will know there are better software options than the basic supplied with the unit, unfortunately they come at a price. For hobby use you may decide the items you produce are OK, but for commercial use the cost may be justified.
A useful first project is to make a cooling fan hood for the printhead. it helps keep the shape of long extrusions.
Enjoy
Dave

Well, I'm knackered!
I've been busy today building a 3D print workstation.
Just need to sort out the plugs, lighting etc & paint the inside white & the jobs a good un 👍
Cheers
Wayne

Before you know it, you'll be making all kind's of parts for your boats. Very good!
Does it make a lot of noise?

Think I've finally dissed how to turn .stl files into G code with the Slic3r programme, here is it in work making a filament guide👍
Cheers
Wayne

Can't wait to see the first printer object!

Ed

It arrived yesterday & she's not stabbed me yet, result...
I was up until 3am putting it together & ive just started running my first test print👍
Cheers
Wayne

I think full body armour & a stab proof vest will be needed🤕

Hi Wayne
Welcome to the club. I bought an identical Prusa based 3D printer last year.
You may be able to hide the box but the machine is far from quiet and I doubt you will be able to muffle that unless you intend to work in a shed away from the house.
You may well need to wear a hard hat!

True to the Donald Campbell tradition ?👍
Living dangerously 😉😎

Hehe, I've not told her yet🤐

Ooh er! Hope you warned the 'management' ? We don't want you incarcerated again!! 😉

Well, did it, I've just splashed out on an Anet A8 3D printer, I'm sitting on the doorstep waiting for it to arrive🤓
Cheers
Wayne

I was thinking more along the lines of a Jag F-Space! 1 to 1 of course 😉
😎
Seriously though folks! I still have my hands full with a couple of restoration projects. in between I'll see how I get on with some smaller 3D boat parts.
Then on to the Jag ......

This one might be a good start
Cheers
Wayne

Hehe, incentive Doug, it's the future!
Please get a build log going👍
No iffy launches though😂
Cheers
Wayne

No problem, my pleasure 😉
I have a 3D printer for a year now and still not done anything with it!
Now I have an incentive, will try some of the small parts of the Utility boat.
Wish me luck! Cheers 😎

Thanks Doug, I was just about to post the link for Mark👍
Cheers
Wayne

Hi Mark,
On the thingiverse site you can download all the .stl files for all the parts.

Good luck, Doug 😎

Yep, totally bonkers but rich with it!
And seems to know what he's doing 👍
Don't think I'll try his launch method though 😆
Cheers Doug 😎

Hi Wayne, yes i agree he seems bonkers but, he has loads of Youtube videos making 3D models, Planes, as well as Hovercraft, very clued up on the computer printing and programing, have emailed him for a copy of the printer program so hopefully i will be approaching a printer to make me one of these

Mark

This guy appears to be totally bonkers, but check out the video!

Cheers
Wayne
