3D Printing forum

Admin · Mar 5, 2024

A member contacted me and asked if I would add a 3D Printing forum, so I have!

I own a 3D printer and love the things it can print.

Having an area where members can share their designs or members can ask for help is a superb idea, hopefully I will learn a lot.

Please post a new thread to show us some of your best work.

Can you do 20 pound notes, asking for a mate.

Yes, I can print perfect ones, £30 each.

Good idea. I bought one years ago but never had great success

Steve's (st3v3) son Tommy on the other hand has made some great stuff

I sold the Printer but I do still have a hand-held 3D pen which is a bit quirky

Don’t know anything about 3D printing, but the lid on my rubbish bin in the van has broken, and I’m just wondering if it’s something that could be repaired or rebuilt by this method.
Failed to find a replacement on tinternet anywhere.
Any thoughts please?

Ok, it will take a few minutes to get it from the van, thanks Phil.

Depth is approx 3”
I’ve tried to build the broken corner up using bits of plastic but it’s just broke again.

Can it Create a 35 year old woman, who is gentle, self opinionated and not strident...?

Naw, the 3d plastic isn't strong enough to handle the force on the knob (of the volume control ...)

That is too big for my printer to print. I could print a repair section for the back but I would need the lid.

Perhaps I could show you over the NY?

I have 3 but only run two the Ender 5 pro I don’t use, the Bambu Labs X1 Carbon and the Creality K1C.

I also have the Gweike Cloud CO2 Laser Engraver/Cutter machine.

They have all saved me money and time printing my own parts over the years.

B&Q sell aluminium tube (8mm diameter about £8.99 in September for 1mm length. Think they also sell 10mm version as well. If the lid only needs support, the aluminium tube, possibly with a length of threaded rod inside, could be glued into place on the underside of the lid?

Yes, that sounds good.
