Printing panels
My Hobbyking order of 2 Kg’s of white ABS finally arrived. There are 16 panels that need to be printed on this design. I spent most of the week printing them. There are a few panels with holes that create large bridges for the printer to span. As you can see below, I printed the part on the right without supports. The part on the left turned out so much better. This was the Hobbyking ABS printed with supports. It turned out great. I may re-print pie panel #4 with supports to get a better quality part.
I must say that I never really appreciated the differences between brands of filament, but this cheap stuff overall prints much better than the more expensive stuff. Lesson learned I guess.
This next week I plan on getting the remaining dome parts printed. More to follow…
