3D Printing - A useful thread

Have a look at this for a pretty exciting 8 mins or so.

Great timelapse, thanks.

 

What were you making?

[rwillett]

It's a set of test prints to check how PETG can be filled and sanded down for spraying.

 

PLA is horrible to sand as it clogs up paper or discs. So I am glueing two bits of PETG to deliberately create a join line, filling the join line, sanding down using a mesh sandpaper OR wet and dry, using a primer that is "supposed" to act as a filler (ha ha ha ha) and then spray painting a decent colour on top, so using gray as a neutral colour, and then putting a polyurethane coat (or two) on top of that.

 

I want to see how good I can make it. So am printing off a few test sets to use.
