New 3D Print : Reindeer!
My wife asked me to print out a Reindeer for the holidays: I found the “Holiday Christmas Deer” on Thingiverse, a great looking model. Plus the shape of the model would take full advantage of the C-Bot’s build volume. Print came out looking great. And a new HD timelapse via Octoprint:
You’ll notice at the 6 sec mark my hand go in for some “manual” supports 😉
Print Stats:
- Model height: 20″
- Print time: 9 hours
- 2 shells, 8% “fast hexagon” infill.
- 300 micron layer height
- 6mm E3D-v6 Volcano nozzle
- Sliced in Simplify3D
- Printed at 90mm/sec
- Gizmo Dorks blue PLA, extruded at 220 degrees.
haha yes i noticed the hand, were you holding the model up? Or was that necessary for the part where the printer started on the body?
I knew based on the overhang it would fail there, so I waited with a knife to help ‘hold up’ those bits as it printed 😉
