3D printing

[Polarbear]

I can't remember where i asked for reccomendations for a 3D printer but poeple said the ender 3v 3SE and I went with that.

Thanks to all who reccomended that, i've had such fun with it, I thught it would be tech heavy and all that but it isnt.

I can already see why I want a faster printer, 9 hours to print eldest grandson a triceratops but hey its great fun and evern technophobe proof.

If you want faster you can get a resin printer quite cheaply now.

Fairly messy but using water washable resin they're not too bad

Much higher resolution prints too.

You can fiddle with the motor speeds, do some test prints to see how far you can push it. (Note that you might need to also tweak the head temperature at the same time.)

Also, check your infill settings. For something ornamental you don't need a lot of internal scaffolding to hold things together.

Once the print has started you can go into the 'Tune' menu and adjust the speed and other things while the printer is running, I've never messed with print speeds much, as print speed increases print quality decreases as a general rule.

This is a fun little print, you can make them in lots of different colours and just give them away to family and friends of any age, they can live on a desk, or a shelf or in a coat pocket.

You can do stuff like decrease the infill to something really low if it's not something structural, or increase the layer height if you don't mind losing a little detail. Generally though things take a lot longer than you'd expect

Where appropriate you can also reduce the scale. The first major print I did was the Venus de Milo and the original would have just about reached the height limit of my printer. I rescaled to about two thirds the size, less material = quicker printing.
