Prusa 3D printer fun

[JR]

So, had a couple pics in the WDYDT forum but figure this fits here too.

I just got a 3D printer, the Prusa I3 MK3S. Recommended by a few people and forums.

So I started with a couple simple things that came with the printer. Plus the filament included is not the best for quality, but easy to use.

Printed out a couple battery holders for the 20v tools I have, both Dewalt and Porter Cable.

SO far so good;

That is cool

I wonder if you can print out a fix to all the stupidity around?

Might end up looking like a big hammer!

We can dig a hole and put free cell phones in for bait,,,,,,

JR if you need any help with that printer let me know, I have tons of files for that thing.

Why doesn't that surprise me. Finding some stuff on the web, long as they are an STL file I can do what I like. Now to learn to draw stuff!

Learning for sure, just ordered a bunch of PETG for it. Going to build cover (not housing) so I can add lights and keep it cleaner.

you should start to learn CAD, its pretty easy now.  I would invest in the multi material head I think they are around $300.  I just bought a spool of SS filament but haven't got a chance to print with it yet.  I supposed to be good enough for trigger parts i will find out soon.

If you get CAD files you can convert to STL

I have Rhino and Bobcad around here someplace. Even 3D builder is OK.

Any cat files (sitting) daughter wants one and I'm tired of having to make accounts al over (i'm not)

[wilsonphil]

I’m sure I do, when the preschoolers come for a visit we start them out CADing up stuff like that.

Sorry for the delay, as it turns out I do not have file for a cat, but here is the site i use for stuff like that.
