3d printer for rc parts

Gramps said:
When laying the stand on it's back with the legs up it prints really strange. You can see in the time-lapse what I am talking about. https://gramps50.smugmug.com/Duplicator-i3d-Plus/i-P4d2gxL/A Here's what the bottom looks like and it was printing on glass. To me it appears that it didn't press the 1st layer to the glass. It did on the 1st rectangles that were laid down.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be to short for the buggy I printed it for, the buggy won't arrive until tomorrow. Guess I'll design my own and see how it goes.

I see the problem. The back is curved. So when the back is printed down it has no support in the middle and the filament saggs. You might be able to print it on its back if you can set the support infill to 100% with 0 offset. Depending on your slicer. I dont know what the part is for so that might not be ideal.
 
looks based off the select mini frame with some cost savings. Not a bad machine, but I don't get the accuracy out of mine as compared to the maker select or maker select plus. At that price I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't have a heated bed.

IIRC it doesn't have a heated bed.

I'm too lazy to go searching for the post(s), but thank you to those who suggested Onshape.... So much more accurate than tinkercad and easier to use than fusion360...

I've been unable to tune my mini to print as nice as the maker select. The jerk and accel seem to be a little off, so any hard direction changes have overextrusion. Might just be how the motion controller works.

What kind of results do you get with your Mini? I don't have the Maker Select, but my Mini prints very well IMO. These are two unfinished prints from my Mini. Besides the little bit of stringing and the obvious steps at the bottom of the left hand grip, it printed smoother than expected. The steps on the left side print are at least partially my fault because of the way it printed. Orientation was changed for the grip on the right side.

 
Looking for filament (PLA) suggestions. Currently about to finish up a 1kg roll of Monoprice black PLA, and wanted to see if spending a little more on filament might help me achieve better prints....

Using a mostly stock Maker Select V2. Z braces, glass build surface, cooling fan are the only significant mods I've done so far...

Overall the results are pretty good. It just over extrudes when direction changes are 90 degrees or sharper. I hear that simply printing slower masks it on this machine.
