EVERY SINGLE KZbinR who does 3D printing says they're using cheap filament. Most say they're using (name brand) filament for $5-$6 cheaper than normal. NO ONE EVER tells you where they're getting it. Google searching never reveals this magical land of lesser costing filaments. POST A LINK FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Aside from that unforgiveable misstep, this video is just what I need for my plans.

I get it on Amazon, I never use the same brand. I just sort by price and grab the cheapest stuff I can find in grey or silver. I usually buy 8 or 10 rolls and it lasts a long time. Next time I go to buy filament, something else is cheaper. I usually don't bother to take note of the brand unless it's particularly good or bad. After a few hundred rolls of filament, I've only had TWO that weren't good. Both from manufacturers I've used many times with no issue so I just attributed the issues to the single rolls as opposed to the brand.

Both the legs with less than a spool is an amazing result. Great job.

Should share a screen shot or run down of your settings for that man. Cool idea.. Thank for sharing.

This is brilliant. The only thing I would be worried about is the heat from the fiberglass resin distorting the PLA+. But, WOW what a great idea! I'll have to add this to my list to try.

We need a tutorial for the slicing cause if you can make big pieces like that in less than 2 days and in 1 roll that’s definitely a need to know for making armor and these awesome droids.

Thanks Gordon! I am super interested in seeing your fiberglass process, seeing the Ahsoka trailer on Friday reinvigorated my next droid project, it's time to print Chopper! I'll be printing my parts on my Anycubic Kobra Max, Prusa i3 Mk3s "Bear" mod, and my FrankenEnder3 for the larger parts, and I will be resin printing my detailed parts on my Peopoly Forge and Peopoly Phenom Prime.

Internal fiber glassing of a full scale Chopper should not be necessary. I've been driving mine at Cons for over a year and the body has not experienced a single crack, even after some rough handling. For clarity I have Mr Baddeleys animated version built entirely in PLA/PLA+.

It would be great to have a bit more info in terms of your slicer settings and the fibreglass process. I assume you then post-process after the fibreglass has been applied?

You can also fill them with foam.
@gordontarpley Жыл бұрын
It's possible but be careful because the foam can actually deform the parts as it expands. Especially when they're this thin.
