Rutty@sh.itjust.worksOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•(Discussion) what are thoughts about using a 3D printer to make TPU dog toys?English3·4 months agoI tend to agree with you on most points.
However, some other people have taken a more cautious approach. I think currently the censuses is leaning toward, best not to.
Rutty@sh.itjust.worksOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•(Discussion) what are thoughts about using a 3D printer to make TPU dog toys?English4·4 months agoGood point on the mold.
Rutty@sh.itjust.worksOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•(Discussion) what are thoughts about using a 3D printer to make TPU dog toys?English1·4 months agoI see your point about parts breaking apart being a concern.
How familiar are you with TPU? It’s quite durable and robust. It’s a plastic currently used in many dog toys. Between that and Part of me feels like TPU being a soft plastic that would minimize risk.

Rutty@sh.itjust.worksto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU?English2·4 months agoTPU.
ABS is a beautiful filament, but it’s somewhat similar to PLA in its properties.
TPU I fun to play with and its flexibility offers different properties than PLA

Rutty@sh.itjust.worksOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•(Troubleshooting) Does anyone have an elegoo giga?English1·5 months agoIf I said I want to 3D my posterior and have a custom fitting chair would you believe me? For some things I think a bigger printer makes sense.
Also that, and it can mount 4 heads to print on a m^2 build area. There a couple of different reasons I’d like the giga to be in a solid state. Least of all the ability to crank out a lot of smaller parts on repeat is strategically important to me.
That’s not to say your argument doesn’t have merit. I’ve been finding that a lot of time can be saved splitting the parts and printing on smaller printers. The giga is a nice to have but not needed per se.
Rutty@sh.itjust.worksOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•(Troubleshooting) Does anyone have an elegoo giga?English1·5 months agoI think you’re right on the suggestion. It’s not enclosed and in a garage. That seems a good place to start.
Thank you.
I think I am running pla at 215 or 220. The clogging is coming from filament extrusion build up after the print fails to get adhesion. There’s no sensors to detect failed prints, like on a Bambu.
Also what’s ringing?
Rutty@sh.itjust.worksOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•(Troubleshooting) Does anyone have an elegoo giga?English2·5 months agoThere’s no enclosure currently. It sounds like this is likely the culprit. It’s currently in a garage that isn’t very temperature controlled atm.
I don’t know about enclosure temps, but it will bet from around 55-72 F depending on time on day right now.
Rutty@sh.itjust.worksOPto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•(Troubleshooting) Does anyone have an elegoo giga?English3·5 months agoI think you might have nailed it on advice. Based on what you and others are saying it sounds like an enclosure is in order.
I was wondering about glue? I’ve been using it on the build plate on the giga. To be honest though, I don’t even bother gluing pla or PETG prints on my smaller printers that have textured PEI build plates.
Understandably though, it makes sense the larger build area and lack of enclosure would make adhesion more difficult.I noticed a bit of wobble when it was printing the arches at higher heights. I think you are again right in that speed needs to be reduced.

Rutty@sh.itjust.worksto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•My personal benchy: this one really tests a printer's capabilitiesEnglish5·8 months agoWait wait wait. You’ve got a goal to 3D optical lenses? Nice!
I’d probably start with a resin 3D printer though. It’s seems the precision would be beneficial for an optical lenses?
I don’t know about any clear resins though. I don’t have a resin printer. It’s a very PPE oriented printing process, that didn’t suit when I tried it.
I was thinking about 3D printing guards just the other day. It might be worth doing
