It is similar to PETG but isn't as flexible. It is popular for trinkets and vases but you can actually print light-pipes with it. It also works well for scale light lenses. This link has all kinds info on it: t-glase Features |

Re: 3d printer for rc parts Boy did that picture suck ! Early morning and low light. Got home today and trimmed and fit it into OPIE , looks good, need to make a couple of straps from aluminum . Then into the paint booth. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...54fcc4b4e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...53eecefd9c.jpg Hang up and Drive |
Re: 3d printer for rc parts That looks great, I want to do a fuel cell like that soon too. I'll be slicing the cap off mine so I can paint it easier. I also want to do a radiator, fire extinguishers, seats, etc lol. One cool thing I found on thingiverse was a copy of a Wraith wheel, complete 3-pc design. It was kinda poorly done & I spent HOURS perfecting it. The initial PLA version is plenty strong, so the PETG ver should be great. I also want to adapt it so I can put a dualie version on a future project. Quote:

To avoid those strings I increased the retract distance (how much it sucks back into the head) and speed to almost double that of PLA. You could also try a longer "coasting" length (last few MM it lets it ooze out). This is especially true if you increase the feedstock multi for PETG (usually 100-110%) whereas PLA is usually ~90.% |
Re: 3d printer for rc parts Sticking and warping aren’t any problem, sticks well. I’ve also found 245 /75 and 20% fan work well on PETG, I’ve messed with retraction and speed, not lots of difference though. Hang up and Drive |
Re: 3d printer for rc parts Here's another thingiverse item I'm messing with, I'm in the process of slicing it into individual pieces & panels. https://i.imgur.com/eXdeCIT.jpg |

Re: 3d printer for rc parts https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1372741 The problem is it's over a dozen parts lumped into 1 giant chunk. I'll eventually post a remix with them split, then another with the cab & box split into panels. |
Re: 3d printer for rc parts What software are you using to split it? I've been updating/changing, a Splitwindow Bus file and have a bit of an issue with Meshmixer. Makergear M2 printer |
Re: 3d printer for rc parts What software are you guys using for sending parts to the printer? I have a Macbook Pro and am curious if the software will work on it. Not much 3D modeling software is compatible with Apple :cry: |

Re: 3d printer for rc parts Fusion 360 is the bomb, but a tricky one to learn. Don’t think it’s OSX compatable Hang up and Drive |
Re: 3d printer for rc parts This link explains how to get the free start up license for the Mac version of Fusion 360: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...usion-360.html |

Re: 3d printer for rc parts I got into Blender (free) for editing STL's and MakerBot for printing specifically for my printer (QIDI Tech, Replicator clone). Blender isn't exactly intuitive, but there is a TON of vids & info on the net. I'll have to give Fusion 360 a try though. Also been meaning to try Cura & Simplify3D, both are supposed to be great. |

Link will also get you a windows copy. I found we can get a license from this link, as long as we are enthusiasts , not manufacturers Hang up and Drive |
