Second, This is my challenge to the 3D printing community, Can you Print it?
I spent over 3 months trying to get this to print extremely well. It took all kinds tweaks and Tests, BUT the very first one I tried WORKED! So i know you can do it too. after you get one printed, its all tweaking from there! How much better can you make it? I have about 30 of them Printed now. each with a new tweak!
My coworker Ray had this pulled up on his screen when I went into his office and I said, "I think I can print that"... and 3 months later here we are!
I spent way to much time trying to tune my built from scratch Restock delta to make perfect prints of the QSN. I eventually achieved this goal. Now I can print some really amazing prints of the QSN.
This is no easy print, however, I really would LOVE feed back from others who try to print one. I'm interested in seeing your method of printing this. Things such as:
How did you generate support?
What printer you are using?
What filaments did you try?
What slicers did you get to work?
Were you able to generate a solid?
Anything else you think would be helpful to share!
I have had almost No luck making this a solid. It's currently "stick and balls". You will need to make sure your slicer can handle…
