Anyone on ODT do any 3D printing

[Jackie Graham]

I recently got into 3D printing. I bought a used printer and it was really slow and finally died. Circuit board I think. So I bought a new one and it does a much better job but it is still a little slow. Since I am not 100% knowledgeable about all the settings I am no comfortable making a lot of changes in the settings yet.
I have been able to print some cool stuff with it. I just printed some case gauges for a friend to help him with the inspection of his finished ammo.

I am currently using an Elegoo printer but may upgrade if I can find one that prints faster.

Prusa just dropped one that is supposed to be the fastest. But it ain't what I consider affordable. I will sacrifice speed for quality. Before you generate code you should have a printer speed/head speed option. Tweak that and make a few test items to see if you like it. Mine can be adjusted up to 200%


Was big into 3d printers but I lost interest. I will get back in once the inkinel and titanium Printers are more affordable

Research and setting experimentation / tweaking is still a big part of getting good prints. Far from plug and play yet !

I probably just need to play around with the speed to figure out what I can get away with. The white boxes in my picture took almost 24 hours to print each one. I am sure that they can be printed faster.

My first attempt at designing anything was to create a file for the Dillon lock ring tabs for the 1050. They work pretty good but I need to find a better material. They don't last long.

You can change most of the print settings aka speed and such in the slicer but finding which setting your machine likes is an iterative process
