Fish tacos thread of making!

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Well I'm about to build my cnc machine. It's looking like it will be awhile before I can get the one I really want So i'll use my 3d printer to print out the parts for the MPCNC. I wish the information for the machine was better organized. But I'll get thru it. I think cost of the machine should come in well under 300 bucks. I just hope it's good enough to do what I need it to do. Other besides the weather The main problem i'm having with starting today is I only have black ABS or wood PLA. He suggest using PLA over ABS for quite a few reasons, but my wood PLA is almost twice the cost of normal colored PLA. So I think i'll order a new roll. Which should put me starting in Wednesday. Does anyone have any color suggestions. I'm thinking Red, Blue or Black. Possible Orange. What are you thoughts?

I think after I get the better machine I'll use this one to make boxes and put my logo on the outside.

God I suck at desoldering.

Did you buy the desoldering tool i told you about?

God I suck at desoldering.

I'm a god at that compared to soldering.

[the-pi-guy]

I've never been.  

I have a habit of breaking things, then fixing them.  

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Here's my first part! I went ahead and tried to stain it. It looks pretty decent.

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Went with red. Might do a red and black. Because I have some black abs.

Did you buy the desoldering tool i told you about?

No.  I forgot the conversation.

The one thing about ramping up for home manufacturing is the process is slow. Building my own machines takes time, which give me time to do other things. Like Clean out all the junk I've stored on my PC and and organize it. Which is one of the things I love about home manufacturing to begin with. It make it so you can (maybe) make some extra cash, and still have time to do other things. While the machines are working away.

Anyway, here's this morning prints for the machine.

So I tried doubling the speed of the printer. Tripling it in some areas. And it's pretty decent.



What do you know. For the most part it looks just like my other prints. Not to bad. With a few exceptions.




This happened on both sides, Which I think will make this part unusable, That's where the bolt goes and I'm sure it will break either when installing the bolt or shortly after.



And this, Which is weird because the printer should have slown down in that area.

I'm trying a test to increase temp and flow now. I hope I can get back up to this printing speed. It cuts print times in half. Which is great.

dang printing with PETG is hard.

I make and sell modded controllers. We recently started started fitting LED lit paddles to the Dualshock 4

I will have to give you thread a good check out. You do some very clever and interesting stuff.
