My latest 3D printed fly reel

Post by mhackney »

A really pretty translucent blue with clear PLA. This one is super smooth. Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

That's really cool. I've seen it in your other pictures, but that infill showing is such a neat idea.

Thanks. Yes, I like the open look it gives. I've actually started designing open patterns now that can be printed. It's tough since the current slicers make silly choices. I like to draw a line and have the slicer "trace" that line instead of going this way and that!

A very handsome reel, I also like the open weave design.
