I assume that this will happen to this one too. Especially because of the bright yellow I used. The question is how long will the case be usable without looking disgusting. If that’s as long as some cheap silicone/TPU cases you can get from Amazon I am fine. How long did it take for you to get to the point of „uuuaahahhhrrggg… I need a new case…“?
Probably. You would have to design a model like that before printing. I would leave some space in the corners and design some pieces that fit exactly in there. Then print these PETG pieces at first and the TPU case right after. When it reaches the point where the gaps would be closed the print needs to be paused and the cornerpieces inserted. Then resume the print until ready.
If you drop I that often I probably wouldn’t use this model and since it came off the printer yesterday evening I unfortunately can’t tell you how resistant it will be. It’s for my wife’s phone, she doesn’t drop it much, it’s gonna be more to protect the phone against other things in her purse.
Thank you! To be honest it was a bit of work to get my printer ready for TPU, but it’s absolutely worth it. Being able to print this material gives so much additional usecases for 3D printing. Absolutely recommend this!
Thanks!
Fiberology 30D?! Never heard of that, but I assume that’s very soft? I am pretty sure my Extruder would just eat that :D
What were your problems?
My bad, let me try again. I just need the fusion360 file of an Ender 3 Satsana fan shroud (like an .f3d).
Background:
The Dual4010 Satsana is my own creation but I accidentally deleted the design from my fusion360. Otherwise I would have only needed to make some minor changes, as the new parts of my DirectDrive have the screw holes of the Ender 3 (they are a little bit different from the Aquila). Now I will need to recreate/improve my last design and wanted to use an already existing Ender 3 Satsana to start, so that I don’t have to start from scratch.
Cleaned it with alcoholic cleaner -> nothing sticks anymore
My research has told me to use only mild soap if any as every cleaner could contain something that harms the coating of the PEI sheet.
Should have searched on this topic before cleaning… had to buy a new bed.
Edit:
I have to correct myself. I now used 70% IPA a few times on my textured PEI bed, let it sit for a minute and then gave it a good scrub with a microfiber cloth. Since I do that before every print and let it heat up 10 minutes to make sure it’s completely dry I don’t have any adhesion problems anymore.
And your problem with octoprint… did you still use Voxelmaker for slicing? How did you transfer the files and how did you start printing (via printers display or octoprints webinterface)? Also what Settings/Temps did you use? Could also be bad filament or moisture.
I think best would be you post a picture in this community and describe it as exactly as possible.
Satsana Fan Shroud (made by myself for 2x 4010 Noctua Fans)
new PowerSupply Cover for bigger Fan and better ventilation
riser feet (because the PSU fan needs more room and so air can better flow underneath)
Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint mounted in the free section in the printer
cablesupport against accidental breaking of the micro USB cable connecting printer and raspberry
arm for holding my webcam (also connected to Raspberry)
cablechain (had to remove the original cableguard due to the fan modifications)
the PEI printbed
side spool holder (originally on top. Bad angle for the standard Extruder as filament gets bend and damaged)
display tuck (plan on putting my printer into an enclosure and with this it gets a little thinner)
Z-Axis Guide on top, so that it’s a bit more sturdy
I also changed all fans to Noctua ones and got it running around 45db while printing. But to be fair it might be a bit louder since I added the fan guards to the fan shroud. I kept putting my fingers in there somehow…
I think that’s all.
Future modifications:
Today I ordered an full metal dual gear Extruder and direct drive mount. That comes with removing the spool holder from the side and attaching it on the top again to keep an optimized angle for filament flow. Also I will probably have to redesign my Satsana fan shroud in order to make the direct drive fit.
Thanks :)
