Fans, fans, everywhere are fans...

Post by Demolishun »

I am absolutely stunned by my first prints. The fan housings:

They look amazing and did not look as "rough" as the manual pictures:

I even broke the rules and did not slow down my machine like it suggested for the second fan housing. I slowed it down a bit but never as slow as 30%.

Hats off to the SeeMeCNC folks. This machine is amazing!

BTW, this was printed using natural color ABS that I extruded using a Filabot today. The ABS was a bit big at an average of 1.8mm diameter. Yet, the printer head performed excellent and did not jam. I also used my custom spools I mentioned in another thread recently.

I am truly happy with my machine. I figured it would take me at least a month to get to this point. Great machine, great instructions, great people on the forums. Now I need to start printing the electrical enclosures I started out needing to make!

Edit:
Oh, and I broke my 25x25x10mm fan. Other than that no real issues. LOL

Nice looking fan shrouds. Came out better than my firsts.

I found a neat trick that seams to be working great for my layer fan shroud. I took some electrical tape I had lying around and wrapped the layer fan shroud until only 1/4" of the end was left "open"

It now forces the air on whats being printed instead of spread across the whole part. Works great for my PLA.
