Can you link the brass spacer you used?
1 Like
Not a spacer. It’s a knurled threaded insert. Don’t have a link, but it’s similar to those in the first pic here Let’s talk 3D printing - #44 by TheThrowingGnome

The red and black compliments the side pattern! Good choice.

Insert is what I meant, genuinely unsure how I typed that all out without realizing it. Thanks so much!!

Stl was up for free on Thingiverse for a limited time. Not sure if it’s still available. PM me if you can’t find it.

Remixed and scaled up a phone holder design into an articulating cook book holder for my daughter. Now to mount it to the wall and eat some cake.

you’ve got to put the STL files for that online. there are a lot of chess players who would appreciate shogi but are used to playing with 3d pieces instead of similar tiles.
Just ordered an Ender 3 S1 from Microcenter, I’ve cadded stuff up for my cousin’s printer which he lets me use freely but I want to get one in the house and learn the technique thoroughly, so this’ll be the first machine that I spent a significant amount of time with!

Thanks! It came in today, currently it’s busily printing out “Cat” before I start it off on one of my own drawings. I have a feeling this poor machine is going to be working long hours, I’m having a lot of fun drawing up designs for gadgets.
I made a time lapse of the assembly process, made sure to check everything as I assembled because there were a few loose bolts from transit. The S1 requires way less assembly than the previous versions as it comes mostly done already.

How thin are the yellow and blue layers?
1 Like
0.2 mm. One layer. Might bump it up to 2 layers, but I kinda like how the white peeks through the blue and and black through the green.
Do you usually print with a 0.2 mm layer height? Is that to reduce print time?
Yes 0.2 usually. I’ve found it to be a good balance of quality and print time, especially on a prototype. Also, these image designs requires a lot of bridging, which seems to work better with slightly thicker layers.
What layer height do you typically use?
