No, medical. These were sample programs loaded in the printer. I have to get a pic of the tail light lens and shifter knob. I took this pic to show my gf, hence the cosmetics.

Easily could, lol. Here are the more car guy approved samples.You should print me some corner lenses for my SVO as a 'test'...
Got the new mainboard and firmware figured out. I had the fan plugs reversed since they're different on the SKR Mini board - So the parts cooling fan would never shut off and the prints had a difficult time with the first layers warping and pulling off the bed.
Bought some Inland filament from Micro Center and I like it. It prints really nicely. Though I'm printing at 215-220 with their standard PLA, which seems weird to me. I'd print at 200-205 with Hatchbox.

just rolls of a type of plastic. kind of like rolls of yarn, but plastic rope made to a certain diameter. Machine eats it up and melts it into shapes.
Yeah their PLA+ calls for a lower temp. Not sure if PLA+ is like that in general though?
For this stuff is says 215-230* right on the spool. I tried dropping it to the normal 205 and it started getting clumpy and looked like shit.
interesting. I thought I always saw it the other way, pla had a lower temp then pla+. but maybe they changed suppliers.
Supposedly Inland is just rebranded eSun. There's also talk about their regular PLA actually being PLA+ as well...But that doesn't really make sense if they sell both regular and plus.
first print with the new Hatchbox ABS my bro got me. gonna print another to try acetone smooting.
I was down to about 3/4 of a wheel for my Weber Kettle and the other was totally melted off. I went on line to look at Amazon and it was almost 22 bucks for wheels. I said fuck that and threw these together in CAD. About 230g each so it'll end up being about 5-7 bucks in material plus a days print time or so each. I may even drop the infill down depending on strength of the first print. I put it at 25% but am not quite sure how low I should go.
Here is a pic of the acetone polishing. does not do a ton for the translucent ABS although it is far easier to see in person and the camera doesn't do it justice. gonna try a few scraps of my teal Shaxon.
