MY 5777 Projects
Rock wall climbing stone
This project is meant to show the capabilities of the MOSTdelta 3-D printer. This project was made using fully opensource software including Repeteir-host, OpenSCAD, and cura.The model can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:495018
The issues that I had encountered with this part are as follow:
1. The printer head was clogged. This caused the printer to no longer extrude the PLA filament. To correct this I had to dis-assemble the hot end, heat it to 200 degrees Fahrenheit then force PLA filament through the head.
2. While trying to remove the part from the printer, the amount of glue i had used caused the part to stick to the base. When trying to remove the part the base( which is made from a round mirror) broke. Next time i will make sure to use less glue.
Household object with Celtic knots
This project is meant to show you how to mesh two or more different files together. the following link will direct you to the part files. https://www.youmagine.com/designs/celtic-knot-outlet-cover#!comments The issues that I had encountered with this project were: 1. the first print had some knots that were to thin for the filament to extrude properly resulting in a knot that showed as just dots. 2. The flow rate was too low resulting in gaps in the top
