3d printing pics

[Grimmey71]

Been fiddling with my 3d printing and was wondering if anyone has printed and parts. This is part of my new gauge cluster in progress.

Welcome to the forum @Grimmey71   

That is impressive!  You might find that others will want to do exactly what you are doing.  That will really open up the flood gate of custom cool dash set ups.

That looks awesome! I have been thinking about a 3D printer recently but I don't know much about them. Did you copy from another piece?

[Grimmey71]

I copied the outside dimensions from another piece and used Shapr3D app on my iPad for the rest. This printer is Creality cr10v2 which I got back in august, fun to learn and the communities are pretty helpful.   This printer has build size of 300mm x 300mm x 400 mm which is around
12x12x15 inches

That is incredible.

Thats excellent.  Curious... how long does it take to do all the measuring and programming into the computer?

I'll be honest I'm have no idea.  I had to learn how to use the program. I just kind of fiddled around for a week or two but now that I am a bit more familiar it moves faster. It was fun to learn especially when I started to get the hang of things.  So far I've made temporary shifter ring, mount for my relocated fuse panel, and a temporary clutch safety switch mount(needs to be redone). From what I understand any cad or design 0rogram that can export in a STL file can be 3d printed. 

But there is tweaking with the printer (slicer) program for different materials.  This picture is of a much easy to print material called pla(may warp a little in high heat), the black parts are in a tougher petg material.  I can also print abs and some flexible material.

Awesome work!  Can't wait to see more of it.
Do you happen to have any pictures of the other few parts you created?

Howdy from Colorado!
