3D Printing Anonymous 02/16/2023 (Thu) 06:18:41 Id: 0ef303 No. 784384
A thread for anything related to 3D printing and video games: figurines, controller stands, battery covers that keep getting lost, cool cases, mods and enhancements, etcetera. What cool enhancements, whether practical or just aesthetic, should I print for my old consoles? Say, for example, my Sega Genesis model 2?
>>950067 >>950073 Would it be worth it to use a resin printer to make a master mold so that you could have the definition of resin printing and the resilience of what ever material you used make the final product from?
>>950103 Sure, but molding and casting is anything but simple. If you're doing jewelry or small details, you'll need a pressure pot or/and a vacuum chamber. I tried doing epoxy keycaps and was plagued with inconsistent mixing, air bubbles (even after using a vacuum chamber before pouring and with the mold inside of it) and just very low quality results. Maybe I'm retarded, maybe you'll get better results for what you're planning to do, but it's almost a guarantee that you'll have to spend a reasonable amount of money on a good pressure/vacuum chamber.
>>950103 You could also try injection molding with resin printed molds, but that's another rabbit hole full of problems, nowadays it's cheaper thanks to some tabletop solutions, but you can only do small models.

I may need help setting up this one. I wanna use it in conjunction with my regular plastic printer so I can print a cute Roll.
>>963995 What's the problem with it?
>>963995 >flat thing gets dunked into vat of plastigoop <??? >models materialize on flat thing How the fuck does this kind of printer work?
>>978988 The goop is bombarded by UV light, layer by layer, and the light turns it immediately solid. I think that's basically how it works. A ray of light is used to draw each layer, and that makes the 3D object.
>>963995 Oh I didn't know they made these as consumer models.
Are CoreXY printers a meme?
How retarded is it to resin print PETG tubing for water cooling purposes?
>>979260 >CoreXY printers a meme? > Well, are they? Actually, explain what meme are they, or why are they worth mentioning. I don't know of them and I've been trying to research about printers as much as possible.
I wanna print me a cute Roll-chan. Are there good models to download?
Do these print well in color yet?
>>1019845 Do you mean resin that prints precolored? It's aight.
See this cutie Roll-chan? I need a lil' help here because I wanna print her. What's the best way to adjust this 3D model with UltiMaker Cura so I can print it with an Ender 3 printer? Please tell me step by step how to set each parameter? Thanks.
>>1031410 Tree supports for starters probably. Have you printed other things out to understand your filament better such as minimum layer time?
>>1031430 >Tree supports for starters Like this? >Have you printed other things out to understand your filament better such as minimum layer time? I have printed plenty of things, but I always had my sister to do this part for me, so I never truly learned.
>>1031435 I don't really have tutorials saved and haven't touched mine in 2 years, but minimum layer time should help when barely any material is extruded and it isn't solid yet. The individual layer render and enabling supports/viewing supports should help adjust supports but I don't remember anything else, just that supports are needed to lay the material on top of and it should be thin where it makes contact so you can snap it off.
>>1031439 Well, I tried to learn this on my own and I think I got it more or less right. Correct me where you think I went retarded. I'll try printing it like this. If you wanna try the exact GCODE file I made with these parameters, here it is: https://files.catbox.moe/u47ovx.gcode
>>1031537 Did you buy the model or got it for free? In general you guys buy them
>>1031537 Your settings are fine, but you kept the model too tiny. It's likely made more for a resine printer, because with PLA it's too little to have good definition. I was printing the file as you shared it and it's so small it broke off the plate because it had no surface (here's her boot). You could use PLA for that model, but you'll have to make it bigger.

>>1031580 >Did you buy the model or got it for free? >In general you guys buy them I don't usually buy them, my sister used to give them to me for free and I think she pirated most of them if not all of them. But I did buy that Roll. It was pretty cheap. And so is this Luce model, but even though its cheap I have problems right now with my CC. Anyone has a Luce model to share? Ideally this one. >>1031964 >Your settings are fine, but you kept the model too tiny Yeah, I noticed after I had shared the file. Will modify it later.
Buying a 3D printer, what specs matter and what sites compare specs?
>>1055756 Melting point of the printhead for more exotic materials, if it's enclosed and/or ready for a ventilation tube out your window to not get cancer from fumes, I forget what it's called but whatever thing the prusa mk4 and that bambu flagship has for vibration compensation by their new chipset for faster print speeds, direct drive, part availability and ability to repair, how easy to manually bed-level since automatic levelling can only do so much, print plate material, probably a whole bunch of other garbage. If you're a newfag you probably should just get a bambu or prusa since older styles of printer are really annoying to do bed levelling on and upgrading them costs as much as one of them. If you just need a vaguely dildo shaped model and don't care about print quality tearing up your asshole then an elegoo neptune can get you there for cheaper. Between prusa and bambu, the former is more of a workhorse with repairability in mind while the latter has lots of non-replacable parts and chink firmware but a better print finish, someone said it often has a matte texture instead of smooth. For resin, elegoo's newer saturn if you want to print big or newer mars if you want to print small, and resolution scales with screen size so 12k on a small screen is better than 12k on a large one. Watch some video reviews probably.
Oh and at this point some kind of heater for the resin vat is considered a premium feature, since most people put it in a garage and air heating is inconsistent when cold.
>>1055802 I know that some people have been using fermentation heating belt and put it around the resin VAT with good results, which cost some 20$ Might be a good add-on if you go with the resin route.
>>1055814 I remember hearing jury rigging it could cause leaks but that's one way to do it. You do need a large area to handle and wash resin but most people probably don't use the garage, so it's not a big deal unless it is.
Since this thread I full of people who.may know, I'll ask. I'm asking for a friend, because he asked me and I told him I'd look into it. He wants a resin printer, but I've heard that they are more frustrating than satisfying. I've heard that, while the results are nice when they come out well, many times they just don't come out well. Like, if you're going to print using resin, 60% of the prints are gonna end up in the trash and that's a fact you have to just accept, and 40% come out well, so resin enthusiasts live for that 40% Is that really true? Could it be that the idea that a large percentage of resin prints go come out wrong comes from another era, when resin printers on the consumer market were not perfected? And if the answer is that today resin printers are more efficient and produce a higher percentage of good prints, which is the model you would recommend?
>>1070425 Depends on if you can find a resin that is good and also a printer that is good, and also how well the models are sliced and supported. I haven't looked in a while but the saturn 4 pro or whatever upmarked one by elegoo seemed good enough for me when I was looking to buy. ABS-like resin seemed to be one of the better "materials" to use as well, I think one was water-soluble so you could just leave the washbin out in the sun to harden the washed resin and dump the water instead of lots of alcohol to dispose of back in its bottle after the same sun trick.
mega(dot)nz/folder/UelXiZCR#epO3fP36ZFIOOhU6-RGM6Q I've got a MONUMENTAL archive of 3D printing files, mostly 40k, 30k, Trench Crusade, Warhammer Fantasy, and other stuff like that. Almost 5 Terabytes of shit in total. Use it wisely. Also good luck downloading it in a timely manner thanks to the way mega works. If it's any consolation, putting it on mega wasn't my idea.
>>1070514 That's admirable
>>1070425 That failure rate is made up lmao. There are some failures but I can't say it's higher than regular filament printing. You do have to check how the model is made, supported and such but that's just cuz it's different. As for the whole washing and chemical compound bit, I never cared much because I print in my shed away from people. Maybe reconsider if you are renting one room in an apartment.
