solarbirdAn almost complete replacement part print for a vent, my first functional print which would've been impossible on my machine before modding the printer. It's a 10 hour 15 minute print even with a 1.0mm nozzle (lol) but degree of resolution is just fine for this:
280mm-tall vent replacement part at 272mm into a print
I think it's pretty good surface texture for a 1.0mm nozzle with 0.32mm layer height. That's pretty crude but it's still not bad at all.
I still need to take the filament spools off the top of the printer, though. I'm told that should get rid of the faint banding I'm seeing here:
Close shot of the big side face, intended to show layer lines
The geometry is holding up well up top, too. I was really worried that I'd have issues after making the printer workspace 100mm taller - I was afraid it would get wobbly. But it's working fine so far. It did get a bit stringy, but this is a pretty stringy filament and that'll sand right off.
Completed 280mm-tall vent replacement part, focused on the flat planes at the top
I mean, this is a pretty ideal case, but I'm still really pleased at how it came out. I didn't have to slow it down or anything.
