Crueby, are you going to use these as is? or use them as patterns?Dave
ChrisWhich slicer software are you using ?I have just been printing some of the pipework for Agnes using Cura 4.8.0 on my Ender 3 V2 which I have just bought, but am wondering whether to try other slicers as well.Your prints look to be coming out very well, it is going to be an impressive model.Phil
Pretty muchj the same Kvom - with any of the apps and thier tools, sure there are multiple ways to do it. The thing I struggled with at first was how to have the two pipes angle off but leaving that center area clear, thats why I did the cut and mirror.
Ahah....I see it all now.."It lays down 0.2mm tall layers of plastic at a time" ....I couldn't visualise how the print head got down there in the V of the valley of the spool ....it didn't!, as the depth of the V was only 0.2mm tall on each horizontal pass Must admit, the horizontal build lines in your image helped me .[so for every 1" in spool height, approx 125 horizontal deposit passes]Carry on...no more interruptions [for a while] from meDerek
OK...time has passed [question time open again] ...how flat and square are the spool piece flanges?When any 2 are bolted together, do they sit as they should?So reading backwards, there will be some water flow, but @ low pressure?Would a Silicone type [Gasket in a tube] compress to provide an adequate seal?Permatex market [152 gm tubes of RTV silicone] in an extensive range of colours....[stay away from fluroscent pink] This type of material would appear to be a little easier to apply than punching out 14, 256 bolt holes in 0.05mm thick gasket material Derek
Lets see, I did get the new brass bar stock today, probably annoyed the delivery guy with a 42 pound mailing tube! I noticed that the end cap was missing from the tube, but the bar was still there. I wonder whose shipment of glass ornaments got squished when the bar speared them.... Almost as good as the time that I ordered 5 bars of stainless steel - they came in separate mailing tubes (very thick cardboard with wood endcaps nailed on). Probably 20 to 30 pounds each. Could have smashed up a truckload if they rolled around on the corners! I do know that the UPS guy lost a fingernail - he tried carrying them all together up the driveway at once and they shifted.... Ouch! I gave him advance warning of heavy orders after that so he could take that day off...

I had a 1m long piece of 2" diameter EN8 delivered by post: all they had done was rolled some brown paper round it and used lots of Sellotape to hold it on and the lady delivery driver asked what is it? I said "its a bashing stick" she said yes that is what my son thought it was and I had to stop him hitting his brother with it (the boys were about 3 and 5 sitting in the back of her car )Still following along Jo
