Oops! The slides were something I tried in an earlier version, but they didn't really work out. It moved smoother without them. I didn't know I put out any files with the slides still. That was a mistake.

@@punkidd00 Is there a file for that without the slides? I appreciate your response.

@@tundrasr5709 My bad. New files have been uploaded to Thingiverse now.

Thanks!

I hear ya. I had 3 M200s for a LONG time. Loved them, but after getting my X1 I wasn’t using the last one at all anymore. Love that X1.

They are great! It was the first printer I got that just ran and ran with hardly any maintenance. That Bambu Labs X1 Carbon is just SO FAST. And also low maintenance, I just love that one now. I still have the M300 for bigger stuff though 🙂

@punkidd00 The M200 was my first printer also. I just recently got a P1S and a K1 Max. I still have the original CR-10, 2 CR-10 S4's, and Korbra 2 Neo and 6 Resin Printers. I like the P1S, just wish it had a bigger print volume. The jury is still out on the K1 Max. Lol. I almost got an M300.

The short answer... TOO often. In one 8-hour day at the office, I went through 3 bags of ice just to get about 3/4 gallon (very dirty IPA, cleaner goes faster). I did end up connecting a 5-gallon bucket with a fish tank pump, but even that was pretty inconvenient having to top it off with ice every couple of hours. What I ultimately ended up doing was attaching a fish tank chiller to the bucket and that is working GREAT. I used this one amzn.to/4a9vjRf, but I see those are no longer available. If you go that route just make sure to get one with a compressor. The fan-based heat exchangers won't work so well on a hot day. It wasn't cheap, but it's SO MUCH nicer just letting it run all day without having to change out the ice. I figure at the rate I was going through ice it will pay for itself EVENTUALLY, and it's just so much more convenient anyway it's worth it to me :-) I really need to do a follow-up video. I got everything installed onto a small cart now and I'm super happy with the setup, but I have several tips to offer (like insulating the chiller hoses so water doesn't condense and make puddles all over the place).

Thanks again Jared! Really helpful info! I really was wondering how that would work without a kind of external cooler... With the current setup you also distill around 3/4 gallon every 8 hours? Looking forward to watch your final setup. Sure it is worth while :-) @@punkidd00

I have ~8 jugs now that are my "dirty" jugs. I put dirty IPA in those for curing and filtering before going into the still (and actually I've been lazy and skipped the filtering more than once in exchange for more sludge at the end). I swish and rinse my dirty jugs with distilled IPA a bit, but they never get totally clean. When they get too bad I use them for the leftover sludge from the still and then dispose of them with the city. I try to keep my clean distilled IPA in bottles that have only ever had clean IPA in them.

I can't say for sure. I never use PLA. It deforms too easily. Even at room temp it will change shape over the course of a few years. I only ever use ABS in my printers.

Thank you for the comment :-) Finishing up my cart setup now. New video to follow.

It's HO scale, which is 1:87, so to take it up to 1:76... 87/76 = 1.1447 (multiplier)

We were honestly pretty surprised at how well it came out :-)

Same. By the time I actually got it done and uploaded I was using a home brew flight computer, but still handy to have in the field box. I've loaned it out more than once at the range :-)

No issues. I flew that airframe a few times. I shredded the 3D printed fins when I flew an I-600 for the second time. I probably should have swapped out the cracked fins after the 1st hard landing. Live and learn. My next version used the SAME 3D PRINTED PARTS, but I rolled a 3" carbon fiber airframe, laminated the fins in CF, and laminated the inside of the nose code with CF as well. We flew that one 3 or 4 times on the I-600 w/o issue.... until the flight computer didn't arm on the last flight and it lawn darted into a cornfield. Never did find it :/ It's a fun platform. Good luck!

It's HO scale = 1:87

Yeah, I had the real tool to compare it to when I designed it. It cuts the same size hole to the same depths. I've used it many times over the last 4 years.

I haven't tried myself. I think some have printed them laying down w/ mixed results.

@@punkidd00 well when I do it standing up I get a lot of wobble what was your print speed

@@Adam-yc5vy I'm assuming you're using a printer where the print bed moves on the X or Y axis? I hear a lot of complaints about not being able to print the legs on that kind of printer. I unfortunately don't have a good solution. The print beds on my printers only move down between prints so the part stays pretty much stationary through the print.

@@punkidd00 yeah that’s exactly the issue I have. Do you know of anyone who fixed it though?

@@Adam-yc5vy Sorry, no.

I'm using Solid Works. It's pricy, but I've used it professionally for a long time so it's what I've got :-)

HO scale (1:87)

@@punkidd00 Thanks!

I did mine at 20% with ABS.

@@punkidd00 thank you, if I printed this at 130% how tall would it be?

@@BossTweed69 It's just over 32" as is, so * 1.3 = ~42"

@@punkidd00 thanks for the fast reply buddy 👍

Happy to share :-)

Yeah, it's a typo. You need 12 for the heavy.

Updated.

Yeah sorry. There are MANY complaints about printing the legs on a printer where the print bed moves on the X or Y axis.

@@punkidd00 no worries at all, the design overall is amazing, thank you!

I didn't have luck increasing z hop setting, but I could have printed them successfully on a raft one at a time with Raft Air Gap setting 0,10mm (Ender 3 v2). It is slightly hard to separate the model from the raft.

Appreciate it!
