Topic: 100 mm bridge test!

This thing was fun to watch.

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:256742/#files

I don't have a fan on my dood yet, but I was happy considering.  I was really impressed how far the plastic will drag out.

Anyone else ever printed this before?  I wouldn't mind seeing pictures.  It's a little droopy on the bottom and the "OK" on the top didn't come out very good since it printed the letters so fast.  I'm working out a fan solution to counter those issues.

I think it came out pretty good. Printed with mostly default settings in Slic3r at .4mm height.

Re: 100 mm bridge test!

Were you running the fan for it?  It did cone out quite better than mine.  I'm going to have a fan after i overhaul the printer.   Its impressive how very little changes can make such large impacts on our prints!

Yep yep. The fan helps a lot! I bet it would work even better with a duct to direct the air but haven't tried that out yet.

I also wonder the difference with ABS vs the PLA that I used.

Re: 100 mm bridge test!

I'm going to duct my fan through my e3d hot end and then down to the nozzle.  I'm doing a redesign of the carriages so I'll have a few different ways to do it.  I have lots and lots of parts coming in which gives me time to draw up and print everything!
