Added to the FILES section a 3D printed box that holds my milling machine circular 150 mm dia table.
The handwheel is bolted through the centre hole for ease of loading and lifting the table out of the box.
from the photos you can zoon in and should see the methods of attaching the various parts together using the old technique of
tenon and jig saw male female approach. As my 3d printer has a max print of 190 mm x 190 mm, the box measures in?
the extremes 270 mm x 220 mm.

Can't see the file, John.? It's listed but doesn't show a file size.
 

Julian, just addressing this issue with my "guru" Charlie? in computer stuff.
it posted the folder but not the photos,??
Hang in there, LOL
Cheers

Nice bit of modeling there, John.? Bet they took a while to print with those big flat areas.

Just treated myself to a Bambu x1 carbon.? Boy is it fast, you often can't see the print head move, it's just a blur.? There are two speed levels faster than the standard speed but I haven't dared try them yet!
Very nice printer if you are looking to upgrade.
 

Are you happy with the Bambu Carbon x1 so far? I am looking to purchase the combo before my next back surgery next month so I have something to do during recovery. I will never buy another Creality product ever again.
Thanks?
Ron
 
Edited

Hi Ron,
Yes very happy.? It was the combo that I bought.
The AMS saves a lot of messing about and stores the filament in a nice dry atmosphere.
Just a shame it won't handle TPU.

I built a mendal i2 circa 10 years ago when hobby printing was in its infancy and its served me well, but compared to what modern printers can produce it's chalk and cheese.? That said I think a few upgrades on the old printer will have it back to producing respectable results.? I used a VERY early version of Cura with the old printer, but I reckon a large part of the quality these days comes from the slicer.? The Bambu slicer (supposed to be a spin off of Prusa slicer) is by no means perfect but level of fine tuning available is truly mind blowing.? There is a spin off of BB slicer called Orca that may people swear by but I struggle to see much difference between the two ... perhaps I haven't dived deep enough into both yet.

What were the problems you were having with the Creality printer?
 

Thanks Julian, I looked at the.

I am impressed, my 3D printer was the first to be advertised?for <$200.00 and it was cheap.

One of these days.....

Thanks Julian and guys.
I have always for past 7 years been a Geetech fan, bought my first Prusa clone I3 some 6 years ago and another 4 years ago.?
never failed me, except for a few bits and pieces, which fortunately are available almost over the border from me in Germany, Geetechs have a hub there.
Built a few electronic Arduino upgrades to control fan speeds, but the original Sanguinolou control board is still working Ok,?
thank goodness as they re now impossible to find or even purchase.
With a bit of good fortune, I sold one of my printers and have a Geeetech Mizar S. The extra 25% of bed volume of 255 mm x 255 mm x 260 mm compared to the i3 suits me and?
this machine fits nicely into my very cramped workshop.
From the original Geeetech clone Prusa to the Mizar S, is again like chalk and cheese. Automatic bed levelling is so easy and the magnetic bed plate
means no more hair spray and first level adhesion problems. Early days yet, but as you say I am a happy camper.
I recently read an article from All3DP that Bambu are doing a printer recall, what is the real facts do you know.?
Attached a couple of photos of toys I produced for my neighbours kids Xmas gifts.
Sylvester and of course Tweety pie
Working on the Fractural vice currently see photo and seems to be going very well. All the above items mentioned were all download STL files from Prusa pintables.
I normally design my own parts and print. But the toys land vice look and work so well, so cheating on the odd STL downloads can?t go amiss.
The photo of the Fractural vice, not complete as I am waiting on more 3 mm cap head screws, they have to various but specific lengths and you need a zillion of them. But all 3D printing done is done .
Cheers for now

Forgot to add, in the Silvester photo it includes in the backdrop one of my house cats, and by pure coincidence he was on the table at the same time.
A beautiful cat, but curiosity will definitely be the end of him, LOL

What a real nice looking machine, well done.

Love the cartoon characters. Often print novelties for the Grand Kids.? Last effort was a pair of very loud whistles each with their names embossed on them.? My daughter seems to be dead against me doing this, but the kids love them ... drum kit next!

Be very interested in seeing the fractal vice completed and to hear how it works.
 

Thanks Julian, I will let you know how the vise turns out.
I think it will be strong enough to grip the odd wooden block for
drilling or hand planning a few bits and bobs.
Attached 2 photos?of my first?print off the Mizar using a Geetech?test STL supplied.
Quite impressed, and for the price of these budget printers, IMHO well made, well designed, user friendly.
I have not tried anything else but PLA at this moment.
The vise was printed off the Prusa clone I3 using carbon filled filament, the nozzles wear out quickly, but the strength of carbon filled is about double the normal toy stuff PLA,
Cheers

I have the CR?6-SE that I purchased back when on Kickstarter. It actually worked fine for about a month then just kept having issues with the bed, adhesion, print head crashing, etc.? Contacted their support who finally told me to send it back and when I tried to I got crickets. They even lied to me about parts and wanted me to buy a complete assembly vs fixing a single component. They claimed the component was not for sale and could only be installed in their much more expensive assembly. When I sent them their own service video on the individual part, I got a lot of deflection and silence. Their customer service is basically non-existent (I condensed the whole scenario for brevity). I have gotten at least a dozen sales cancelled for their printers from folks who went elsewhere when I showed them my proof and my situation. I really can't stand being lied to, especially when it is my money they are taking.
 

Hi Ron.
So sorry to read about your 3D problems.
You are not alone in your Creality after service?? woes LOL
I have a next?town down friend Eduardo who had the same service problems and he had to deal without success by emailing?China, As Eduardo does not speak Chinese LOL or any English, I tried to wade in, but had no success. His problem was the extruder working overtime, I think this was caused by the spool holder in the wrong position, it seemed to be initially set up parallel in line with the bed and not hanging?vertically above the extruder. Anyway, with some wire clothes hangers etc we got there and he is OK now, but inconsistent prints of poor quality, even printing with layers down to 0.2 mm.
With a consistent problem then you can zoom in on a fault, with inconsistency?then pretty much to lap the Gods to know if you have a fix.
As a newbie some 7 years now, I have found that Geeetech (and no endorsements) have given me?
excellent service, excellent in answering questions, etc etc, and you pay for what you get.
Just bought a second?Mizar (shipped from Geeetech Germany)? DHL 3 days?shipping , the total price was about $245.
Geetech have slashed their prices, there seems to be a stagnanting Chinese financial crisis, Oh well.?
Good for me LOL.
Cheers
