Infinity Terrain

After the inclusion of a 3d printer and getting used to this. I have decided to do a street furniture pack for my infinity boards. The box and gas cylinder was a good start but I think more is to come and as this is the first post of the project in 2019 I think it’s a good time to set out my plans.

First of all a catch-up on this week.

I have had the resin printer learning curve this week with a fair few failures / issues with prints. This has mostly been trying to get more speed out of the printer and resin combo, I pushed it past the point in which more time was required due to layer height I think I have found the sweet spot/compromise for speed and quality for the grey resin I am using.

I think I am giving up on angling my prints for printing as well due to more supports being required and the marks this places on the surface. I still use supports but this tends to be thick bottom supports and very thin (0.20mm) supports higher up. Seems to work well.

The redesign of the cube has completed. I got out a few ok prints but changed the angle back to vertical and this fixed most issues. Only occasionally I get the odd clogged vent holes on the top of the cube, I have not pointed any yet but have 15 of these made so far.  Still to paint but I think these will be coloured tops and grey bottoms with the colour indicating the contents.

I have made traffic barriers. liquid drums and road blacks so far but I will show these on a separate post.

Onto my Plans for 2019 infinity.

I wanted a plan set out so if I go “what should I make next?” I have a list to pick from. I think with this it will finish off this set and give elements for other sets. This may not be an exhaustive list. I want to make the kind of things that are either expensive to buy, I don’t like the ones I have seen or that are very niche and not available.
