Nice job, good sir. 👍🏻

[@kerseyfabs]

Thank you!

[@uyi_rl]

So excited!

[@kerseyfabs]

Me too!

[@meanman6992]

Haha print from the toaster oven like I do sir! Get a thermometer with external probes. Drill a hole in it for a steel bar, flip the toaster on its side and use some washers in grooves cut in that bar to keep the spool from walking side to side. (Don’t want it touching the heating elements) I do this and print from it with a Ptfe tube going to my P1S, makes nylon easy.

[@kerseyfabs]

Thanks for the tips! Trust me, I've considered it! In the next VLOG you'll see what I came up with that's working well.

[@harrisonbergeron9764]

I have a CR10S-5 that I have put a Bondtech Extruder, TH3D DBL Leveling Kit, a silicon heater mat, and a buildtak flex bed with printing surface. It has worked really well I even printed a full size R2D6 Dome in one shot without any issues (about two weeks of printing) except for a power outage that I was able to manually recover, which was not an issue with the printer. Printer sits an a large table from IKEA that is wobbly as heck and the print still came out surprisingly good.

[@kerseyfabs]

It is still a fantastic printer! Not the fastest on the block but reliable and high quality. Nice upgrades!

[@meanman6992]

Think UHMWP will ever be a filament? It’s actually used in a lot of ceramic hybrid body armor and is in its self pretty good at stopping several calibers.

[@kerseyfabs]

That sounds amazing. You'd probably have to have a kiln or something.

[@customsrusprincalifornia2284]

What is it made out of?

[@kerseyfabs]

This is mostly PLA. I plan to print the final suit in Carbon Fiber Nylon.

[@arachn0tron926]

​@@kerseyfabshave you considered possibly electroplating your 3d prints?

[@kerseyfabs]

@@arachn0tron926 I considered it but it adds weight and it can be fragile. Plus, it may be cheaper to use real metal. 😅
