- Yesterday I was in Switzerland๐จ๐ญto visit @mwuethri with his RotBot, a Prusa Mk3 with a 4th, rotational axis. Mesmerizing to watch and I had some super interesting conversations. Look forward to some non-planar goodness and conical slicing!
00:00 - Say hello to Emmi, the latest member of the CNC Kitchen family!
- Is finally done! 6 days, 8 different colors, 2kg of filament and a beautiful Majora's Mask ๐ I'll assemble it in the next few days! Thanks to @3DPrintDogs for the amazing model.
- Conical Slicing let's you print horizontal overhangs without supports. A bit more on that in tomorrows video!
00:00 - 130h into the 120h print (yeah, print time estimation was a bit off) We are on the home stretch now with only 4 more hours to go! We've already done 2800 flawless filament changes and I can't wait to get it out of the machine and assemble it!
- 14h in printing the big N64 logo on the @Prusa3D XL. So far it's looking really good with no wasted material for purging or wiping ๐ช
- Timelapse of the 142h print of Zelda's Majora's Mask in 8 different colors on the @BambulabGlobal X1C with 2 AMS. Model: printables.com/model/553378-mโฆ
00:00 - Even though this machine financially makes barely any sense, it brings me so much joy recycling all of my 3D printing waste! And isn't joy what hobbies are all about?
- Look what I just discovered when I took a closer look at one of the Bambu Lab H2D Bowden tubes. This one doesn't have a standard circular opening but a star-shaped one, probably to reduce friction from less PTFE contacting the filament. Seems really clever! What do you think?
- 110h into the 120h print. Not only have I never printed so long, I also wouldn't have expected that 3000 filament changes worked so flawlessly! Unfortunately, the purge poop pile is also massive now! Let's hope everything goes smoothly until tomorrow.
