That IS really cool!
I didn’t like that warping of that PHA.
Neither did I, but there is always a way to counter it. ABS/ASA is horrible about warping on long stretches also.
Agreed about ABS. I have not done anything with ASA larger than about 4 inches diameter on the build plate so I haven’t noticed it yet. I do know it will, but so far it seems less than ABS.
And, I am sure the Brand makes a difference. The ASA I am using is FlashForge and so far I am impressed. ABS was primarily Sunlu.
I had problems with printing ASA warping on larger spans. I turned the plate temperature to 195 C from 170 C, and the problem disappeared. I guess keeping it hot inside the enclosure is the secret.
And slow cooldown.
Happy wife!!! She gave me an assignment: “I need a way to display my bracelets at the craft show next weekend.”
I find this model in MakerWorld:
https://makerworld.com/en/models/633053?from=search#profileId-558100
I create a simple base and reorient:
Added supports, perhaps more than I needed. 3 walls, 5 bottoms, 4 tops with 25% gyroid infill. I used GratKit PETG Transparent filament.
She is liking my new printer!!! Oh yes…
Edit: 12.5 hours printing 0.02 layer height.
30 hrs later. Good job Jimmy
Well done indeed.
