The AH Coffee Shop and Reading Room 09

[TheRedLantern]

The ornament took an hour to print, the paint station took over 9 hours to print.

You probably want to keep your plot bunnies away from them. Those little critters are way hornier than I naively had imagined.

Sixty Two degrees here! I didn't think that was allowed in Florida!

My latest 3D project. It's a "paint station" a device to hold my brushes and what-not when painting Christmas ornaments The cups hold 9oz plastic cups of water for cleaning the brushes. The white thing is an ornament in need of paint. The ornament took an hour to print, the paint station took over 9 hours to print.

There's no end to the old dog's talents! Do give us a look at the finished thing, please.

I thing I'll be painting a bit later tonight and tomorrow. I'm at the point in a story where I can't break away.

When you get around to it, clue me in on which 3D printer you're using. That's some amazingly nice output. I have a Bambu Lab X1C Carbon with auto changer. Just getting my feet wet with it. Also have an Anycubic Photon D2 DLP.

This is my first printer ever, a single color Flashforge Adventurer 5M. I'm still noodling around with different filaments to see which works best, I've ruled out Flashforge filament and am happiest with Overture. For details like that ornament I found that slowing down the print speed to about 40-45 mm/s works best. I also found out the hard way to VENT THE ROOM even when using PLA filament.

That looks awesome! It's a whole lot more than I'm ready to pay for a 3D printer however, but some of that stuff I saw on the web made by that printer looked awesome! (I would love to print full color tigers)

Anycubic Photon D2

That looks like science fiction to me! Wow! How does it work?

Sorry, guys. Duleigh and I share at least three other consuming hobbies beyond writing porn erotica.

The auto changer on the Bambu is just this side short of a Star Trek replicator. Or so it seems. I only have four color stations, but the box can support up to 16! The front end work with the slicer for the color changing is daunting, however. I have 0.4 and 0.2 mm nozzles, but haven't used the smaller one yet since the 0.4 does everything I ask of it.

The Photon D2 is incredible. I can hold 0.005" walls with it, and it is bloomin' accurate and warp-free. My old Photon with the LCD screen can't hold a candle to it. DLP resin is a whole 'nuther dimension to 3D printing, but at the moment is a complicated issue - the DLP engines are currently made from unobtainium. The D2 is currently O/S with no schedule in sight. I got in just as it was known the well was running dry.

Damn, the video I saw was beyond cool. I'm sure if I ever get a decent royalty check I'll get one... it's going to be a very long time before I get a check that hefty.

"Delta team, this is Recon Team leader, so you copy? Over."

"Copy, Recon Team. Over."

"The coffee shop appears empty. I spot half a pot of leftover coffee and several danishes from yesterday. Can you confirm? Over."

Thirty tense seconds later ...

"This is Delta Team leader, " munch munch munch."I'm not seeing any signs of those danishes. Over."

"I see you eating them."

better he eat the danishes than the carrots. Those plot bunnies could take Delta team in a fight.
