Gale Crater...

Post by geneb »

This is one of the 3D models that NASA recently released.

Took about 5 hours to print with a "true" .4 j-head at .15 layer height.

Very nice. How large is the print? Wonder what the scale is.

It's roughly 140mm x 105mm.

That picture is your print? There are no visible layer marks or retraction marks and it looks like it was cast in polyurethane or something. Really nice print!
Check out the Tri hotend!

Thanks. I sliced it with Cura 14.04 as my current copy of Kisslicer literally dies when it tries to slice the model. :)

The j-head is a "real" one from hotends.com and has proven time and time again to be THE best for PLA.

Well that makes me want to run out and buy a real J head. Very nice print and a very cool idea.
