And Now Time to Print...

May 18, 2020

So Im going to print this on an Elegoo Mars resin printer. Mostly because its the only one handy. I’m sure it would work just as well on an FDM, you could print more of them too and they will print quicker. (My FDM is in the studio printing out ear protectors for local health workers so I’m not planning on disturbing that!)

Anyway, I really like the smooth finish from a resin printer so provided the finished print can take the stresses this should be good. Also, it will be interesting to see if the tolerances are too tight or loose in the final version.

I’m using a grey ABS-like resin for this. It’s my favourite so far because when you are printing models it looks like a model you would buy. That and I’ve found the results more predictable than some of the translucent resins I have tried.
