Alright bros. I last posted here asking about which printers to buy, and y'all gave me solid recs. Of those, I'm about to pull the trigger on a Raise3D E2. Use case is printing electronics enclosures for prototyping and small production runs. And accessories to attach to enclosures, including off-the-shelf ones like mounting hooks, display mounts etc. Mostly in ABS. I'm going to throw the Ender in a dumpster. My time and sanity aren't worth it.

 You repeatedly broke the Second Law, and now you're breaking the Third. Go to the place you summoned your spaghetti monsters from.

Stand near it and press △ to harvest the metal shards and components.

It wasn't raptor or chubby dolphin paint was it?

Solidworks if you can get the $20 license. (Student? Military?)

Serenade posted:I use OpenSCAD but I'm a software developer with a background in functional programming, and that's a pretty narrow demographic. Blender is outstanding, but it's more for creative designs. This might apply to a 3d print! If you're making a part, use a CAD program. If making something artistic, use Blender.

  I'll be satisfied once it demonstrates it can do this consistently. So far, so good. My hope is that it'll work without uncertainty and fussing.

That's encouraging news. I'm already impressed by how easy it was to go from unboxing to printing a usable part (where I already had an STL ready).

What use cases are y'all using SLA for? For context, I'm sticking with filament since I want to be able to solvent-bond parts to injection-molded ABS parts. And it seems like the process for FDM is more hands-off and safer, at the cost of poorer-quality prints.

becoming posted:The Prusa is my minivan, the Ender will be my Miata. Or my Jeep. I recognize from your post that your idea of fun may be what I'd describe as frustration. The Ender 3 is designed with low-cost as one of its primary requirements. It's capable of good quality prints. Dominoes fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Aug 10, 2021 |

becoming posted:You are right that my Miata has needed basically no tinkering, though to be fair I just meant it more as "the Ender 3 is for fun and for upgrading"; still, I think your MG comparison is probably more apt, I just don't currently own an MG, whereas I do own a Miata and a Jeep (and an Odyssey, three kids and all). But to the point, I think I'm okay with the idea of an MG, printer-wise; I've owned five different European cars and every one of them has had electrical issues that needed near-constant troubleshooting. My 1984 Volvo 242 Turbo went through a phase where the right turn signal - but only the right - would cause the engine to cut out. Yay tinkering! edit: A 2006 miata was my first car. Drove the hell out of it for 7 years; sold before moving overseas, and miss it. Dominoes fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Aug 10, 2021 |

Switched from ABS to PLA for a non-structural piece. Easier to remove from bed, and better finish on the surface in contact with the bed. Super-glues to the ABS enclosure. Going to add some load-bearing parts in the same color, but in ABS, solvent-welded. (Eg mounting hooks).  Could probably take advantage of the large bed with uneveness-compensation to print many more at once, but keeping the print towards the center for now.
