@Wheel Horse 3D what did you use to glue Gary together?

Gary was PLA, and common wisdom says acetone wont work on PLA. Acetone works fine on PLA, just needs more time. Soooo. I made a slurry of abs dissolved in acetone and slathered it on. Takes a bit to set but worked great. The slurry took longer for the acetone to evaporate and welded the parts right together.

I find an ABS slurry will glue just about anything!

Gary gets his time on stage with the cast from Robert C Byrd High School in Harrison Co. WV performing Spongebob Squarepants! At the reception line after the show, when Gary was brought out,all the cast and crew chanted for their mascot..."Gary!,GARY!,GARY!" LOL  Great to have been a small part of these kids showcasing some excellent talent.

Grandson with Gary and Spongebob!

Ok heres some new little tinkerings...

Lithophane panels. Light from behind to reveal a photograph or other image. Can be made up to about 12x12. And in various shapes. ARC, CYLINDER,FLAT PANE, triangular, hexagonal and adapted as desired.

Maybe also a thought for some headlight inserts!

Just finished install of new auto level systems on both of the big printers. Now maybe i can finally get the layers to smooth out for the GT14 dash!

Command G29 and the probe double taps 9 different points on the bed and creates a virtual map of the bed correcting for variances in the glass surface. Have it set up to G29 at the start of every print.

Pondering next machine purchases

 

That or maybe a laser cutter/engraver

Something like:

Printers staying busy! Currently working on a model of a Browning M2 50cal. Hopefully i can get it fully feeding ammo in and feeding out.

A more detailed and functional model of this:

Before I dive into printing of 50 cal parts, I have a couple other large long term projects I want to get done...number 1..GOSH DURN GT14 DASH!

It has been an adventurous year plus of printer malfunctions, bed, and filament tweaks, firware reflashing, piles of failed dashes, printer upgrades...BUT..I think were finally there!(a Tonight ill be starting a full dash print with the settings etc i used for this test....

Another quick tinkering that has been added to the store.. pole standoffs to alow ridgid mounting of a Starlink dish! Mounting in this fashion is much more ridgid and secure than utilizing some sort of adapter that goes on top of the pole. An adapter in that fashion just provides a weak point.(speaking from years of tower work experience)

These are easy peasy to install and just use hose clamps.(i cover hoseclamps with electrical tape to secure the tails for safety)

Some other designs while im waiting for more parts to tune for the GT14 dash!

T-Rex skull for the grandson, and Browning 50 cal preliminary files almost complete.All those moving parts modeled from scratch.Browning 30cal and the 50cal share the same action and design with few changes.

Curious to see how those cookies turn out. Will you post pictures of the post-bake product?

Gotta be a trick to make that right.  

Some baker cooker persons around might help.  

If'n I were closer I'd be glad to sample the results. A lot.
