Side effects?! Do you post STLs anywhere?



Had a friend print this for me :grin:

i was asked by a few folks if you could do wood burning on a wood pla print. sadly, wood pla is still mostly plastic so it still melts long before it burns which is disappointing but makes sense. however now i know i can fix a print with a soldering iron so thats neat.

Also burning PLA is so bad for you :sweat_smile: when I was working on my printer and burned some pla the smell stayed in my nose for at least 24 hours

Yeah I realized that quickly. I was wearing a mark outside for this but other endeavors have taught me don’t play around with my air ways.

Morning fellas, haven’t been posting recently, but I have been working on a new 3d print throw.

the whole printing process only uses PLA, but you can use PETG if you like.

I have put the models on printables, here’s the link

If you printed it and have some thoughts on it, let me know!

On a little side quest today. Printing Raider spacers and axles. The axle is just to validate fit of the model; I’m not actually trying to play it :sweat_smile:

Printed the smaller version and had a bit of an issue with the nut captures. Managed to get it to play ok with a bit of vibe but didn’t tune it completely. Then my stem kit arrived…

So today I adapted the stem kit to the existing one I had printed already. It’s worse LOL but I really do think it’s a pretty cool design. I see it’s been updated so I may print out the new version and see how that goes!
