very nice indeed!

Im trying to make the left side of this model the exact same as how i have it on the right.

Ive manually set up all of the lines the EXACT same way on each of the 4 corners and ive tried doing just the right side and then mirroring it. but no matter what I do the top left always has a chunk taken from it and when I put the circle on the bottom left nearly my whole model dissappears.

sorry if this is a noob problem but thats what I am..

any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

First of all, is this a terrible idea?

My hypothesis is. I could take https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PX375WD a stainless steel bento box, remove the silicon and plastic bits from it. drill holes into it and fit some https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMD36FVL borosilicate glass rods thorough the holes to suspend my prints off the metal surface. I then set the box with my small prints on the print bed set to 120C.

Would I need to worry about short circuiting anything? or ruining my printer?

I would be doing this with pa6-cf filament and its said to have an annealing point between 80C-130C

This is a very janky way to go about it but for smaller prints this setup would only cost around 35$ instead of over 100 for a reliable lab oven.

what yall think lol?

Hey yall! a little bit ago I printed this Pill popper v2. I let it mositure condition in a bag for 2 days dry for 1, jbwelded the threading in and let that sit for another day. I took it out to shoot a couple days ago and put 30 through it on my PSA 10.5" upper No issues. I then took it out again today on a VFM9 5" upper and shot once and then shot twice and poof, I shot the upper 3/4ths of the can about 30 yards.

of the printer the print was flawless I couldnt see any lines or anything even with a bright LED light.

No signs of baffle strike, threading held up fine. Kinda stumped wondering if anyones got ideas

I am running a temp tower rn as I have not run one In awhile to see if maybe I need to print this at a higher temp for better layer adhesion. Printed this one at 280C. Creality Pa6-cf

Hope yall are doing swell tonight!

Hey there, I haven't spent much time at all really making any 3D2A prints other than maybe a foregrip or two, but Im fairly familiar with pa6-cf and a couple other nylons and have my settings tuned for it pretty well, I typically make stuff for little home projects out of the stuff and they all have turned out pretty great with relatively no defects and visible layer lines.

I had been looking into the topic of 3D2A a bit more recently and wanted to try and print a little something something myself and I came across the Hoffman SL-9. im a fan of 9mm pcc and so i figured this might be a fun project to get going. the print turned out pretty alright from what I can tell. Most of my prints that I do arnt as big/detailed as this is and like I said I normally don't have any print issues on other prints with this filament (maybe just cause they're smaller?) but in some lightings (especially top down with a bright light) I can see a few kind of faint lines and I'm just wondering what you guys think about how the print turned out and if you would roll with it or re-print or?

Thanks!
