[pr0wlunwoof]

Chef Here it is after a couple of hours. I don’t have enough filament for this one to finish, but thats ok I really just wanted to print it to see if its going to fit over the grinder hopper.

At this point I can tell I am going to make the walls much thinner as the majority of it is infill material anyways.

[pr0wlunwoof]

Got far enough to take some measurements.

[Chef]

pr0wlunwoof impressive. What material is used to print this?

[pr0wlunwoof]

I’m using PLA for now. I want to get it setup to do PETG, but this machine isn’t the best suited for that right out of the box.

I got v3 printed last night. Dunno if I will get a chance to mess with it this weekend or not.

[Chef]

pr0wlunwoof Impressive.

[pr0wlunwoof]

The fit is pretty good. A little tight, but I might be able to run it without any legs.

Now its time to print the funnel Insert

Some amazing tech you have going on there. Very cool.

[pr0wlunwoof]

The funnel is coming along nicely.

[Chef]

pr0wlunwoof Remarkable. I need a new toy, but my wife would say that it was a distraction to the projects I need to complete. She’s probably right!

[pr0wlunwoof]

Chef My wife would agree. I’ve been making toys for our 2 year old daughter so I catch a bit of a break with her. We have been contemplating getting one at work to print out custom brackets for specific installs we have to do so I’m killing allot of birds with 1 stone. I am actually thinking about buying a second one and customizing it to print specific materials.

[pr0wlunwoof]

The funnel is done. Hopefully it fits.

[chippewa]

That is amazing!! Good job

[pr0wlunwoof]

All done.

[Chef]

Very Impressive. Likely have a product that there is a demand for.

[Jonathon]

pr0wlunwoof This was beyond fascinating and we will be talking about this on the podcast for sure!! Thank you for sharing this and please keep us updated on how it works!

[pr0wlunwoof]

Jonathon thanks. I enjoyed learning and posting about it. I’m currently printing a holder I designed for my grinder plates and knifes.

[Parksider]

pr0wlunwoof That is very cool! Your fingers will thank you!

[pr0wlunwoof]

Got the box and drawers done. Now just need some time to mke sausage again.

[Chef]

pr0wlunwoof Very impressive. How difficult is the CAD program to design things? Is it something that can be used without CAD training?

[pr0wlunwoof]

Im using fusion360. I have watched several Youtube videos and have been able to do the basic things. All in not too hard. Figuring out how to navigate the menus and hotkeys was about the hardest part. Setting up the 3d printers the way I have them took a little IT know how, but I am very proficient when it comes to that side of things. All in its pretty fun. I have somehow wound up with 3 printers… So yeah theirs that
