Topic: Post photos of your prints!

Finally got your Press working? Post your photos and tips!
Here's some stuff I printed in the last 3 days.
This is my first 3D printer so there's still some tweaking and learning what the printer is capable of stock.

SOFTWARE: Soliprint 1.1.1
FILAMENT: Octave at 235c
PRINTBED: Standard glass at 100c with abs/acetone mix (recommend for large prints)
Z-CALIBRATION: 3.70
LAYER HEIGHT: .03

Re: Post photos of your prints!

Those are nice. What layer height did you use?

Nice horse. How's it look printed on your Press?

Re: Post photos of your prints!

Just printed this for my gf. Didn't realize how deep the model was and it took 5 hours to finish at .3mm with 20% infill.
My best print so far.

0.3mm layer height, 245C diamond age abs white filament

How can i improve on the print?
Does the filament need to be hotter? feels like each layer is not sticking to the previous?

Need to know more to help. What slicer did you use? how much infill?

Re: Post photos of your prints!

basically default values on soliprint v1.1.1, i think its slic3r and 20% infill

Re: Post photos of your prints!

Is there a typical reason why the owl above printed with little gaps on some of the layers?

I'm seeing exactly the same problem with my prints and since this is my first 3D printer, I'm not sure how to fix this.   I did the filament calibration, so it should be extruding the right amount  (e.g. I can tell it to extrude 100mm and it consumes 100mm of filament).

The trimpots are adjusted, so I don't think I'm skipping steps.

I don't know enough to know what to try next.

Re: Post photos of your prints!

It looks like either inconsistent extrusion (extruder problem or issue at the hotend), printing without a full enclosure or not using enough perimeters. It looks like insufficient enclosure temperature to me which causes a temperature gradient in the print. This is a typical cause for delamination because parts are shrinking at different rates.

Re: Post photos of your prints!

Printed this phone stands last night. Unfortunately the glad bed  shifted because the Extruder hot the edge of the legs that was curling up. Luckily it wasn't a complete failure and the print was able to continue.  I finished it with a thin layer of abs slurry.

Re: Post photos of your prints!

if I had to guess on the issue with your print (owl) I'd say probably inconsistent extrusion and probably temperature issues. What temp was that printed at? also, it might be how close the picture was taken, but your lines look super fat, you're probably over extruding a bit.

Some of the holes (some) look like they might be caused at the beginning of the outer perimeter as well, maybe look into retraction settings?

Cool looking phone stand.  I like the finish.  Did you need to print it with any supports?

Re: Post photos of your prints!

I've printed this one at .1mm.

The only modifications so far : PEI (Polyetherimide) Sheet / ceramic wool under the heat bed
Still have warping and curling problem with large print (Use netfabb software to split in half large model)

Re: Post photos of your prints!

Just started printing a Doctor Who chess set (from Thingiverse). I'm really impressed with the print quality I get. This is my King, and is exactly as it came off the printer. I haven't done any "tidying up" on it yet. For a $350 printer I think this is pretty impressive.

By the way, the piece was printed with no support.

All stock settings on the Press (240C extruder, 100C hotbed, 0.3mm layer height), using Soliprint 1.1.4, over 100 hours of print time so far.   Assembly is not completed yet, but we should be done by Thursday (my son's science fair project).

Re: Post photos of your prints!

Here's a funky vase.  Printed with default settings in SoliPrint 1.2.1 Mac.   I previously used RH, but wanted to try the SoliPrint with default settings only.   Needed to flip the extruder fan and re-cal.   It's about 6 inches tall, 3 inches at the top, and spans about 5 inches across.  At low res, it took about 22 hours.
