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.

Merry Christmas

Wow, not much posting lately.  And not even a fancy picture to go along with this one.  Amazing how doing non-digital work (household plumbing, wiring, lighting, etc) cuts into the digital 😉  But the posting will pick back up here soon, I’m sure.

A merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone out there!

— Eric

UPDATE:  This is a complete lie:  I’ve already got a newer post.  After the movie we went to was sold out I suddenly had a few hours to myself before our dinner reservations.  So, Merry Christmas :)

Merry Christmas!
