Garage printerI started looking at resin printers and thought that might be the way to go for me when I get another printer. Then saw more info about how bad resin is for you and other issues and with kids around, I’ll just buy a better FDM printer.
I mean you shouldnt see gaps between the lines... usually that is bad layer adhesion.Okay, so you all are much more knowledgeable on this than I am so I pose to you guys the following question.... Do finished goods need to look like this, or can something be done in the settings or something to make it look better?
A new customer is having these made for them and I think they look terrible, and am curious if the guy is having problems with his settings or what the deal might be?
Plastic is ABS if that matters:

It seems like every line of print is very noticeable, and on some of them it's like they didnt even bond together and you can see a light gap between the rows?

But as for the lines being visible, yeah thats just 3d printing. You can sand and smooth them out or use smaller layers to make the lines less visible, but it also increases print time drastically.
as for the quality, It isnt horrible, but could be calibrated to be a little more accurate.
he would use vapor smoothing for ABS. But I agree, for thousands you would use 3d printing for the mold, then send it off. It will be cheaper, faster and look better.I have a feeling theyre going to look into a different box or having a mold made and doing it differently, because it doesnt look great and considering theyre going to be wanting to make thousands of these supposedly I can't see them continuing with these, unless they pay the guy to 3D print them then sand them all the way around or something.
I'm so lost on 3d printing, I think it would be cool to fabricate things but there is just so much to learn.
There is a learning curve if you want consistent good prints and understand how to make adjustments based on how it is printing and the design of the model.I'm so lost on 3d printing, I think it would be cool to fabricate things but there is just so much to learn.
