#benchy — Public Fediverse posts

Heute meinen ersten #Benchy gedruckt. In 50% scale, damit's nicht so lange dauert...
Wollte ja eigentlich mit 3D-Druckern nix zu tun haben, aber jetzt haben wir für die Werkstatt auf Arbeit so ein flötiges Teil second-hand geschenkt bekommen 🤷‍♂️

Our first Prusa arrived back in 2018, and the Mk3 is still going strong. 💪
A member spent hours giving it a proper overhaul and it’s back printing lovely parts again — a bit slower than newer machines, but we still love it.

Here it is printing a red Benchy using filament from RS. 🚤🧵

#3DPrinting #Benchy

The basic #Prusa #CoreOne build is done! Had a few issues with heat sensor wiring (me being an idiot and flipping two cables) and the Z-axis making loud scary sounds and getting stuck. Wires were switches around, bed mounts were loosened and retightened and now it seems to be working. Right now it's doing the fastest and most aggressive #Benchy print I've ever seen. In lipstick red no less. It's pretty awesome to see something you assembled yourself work so flawlessly.

When I say basic, it's because this printer has some way to go still. I'm mounting an #mmu3 and a top filament box. Forgot the name of it, but I'll post an update. Probably not until after Christmas.

i found out the flashforge saves timelapses of all your prints, so here's the #benchy being printed

#3dprinting

turns out that #benchy was an IMPOSTER BOAT which was preloaded onto my FlashForge and not the original boat

but here they be. had just enough filament left for one!

#3dprinting

and, of course, i printed a (modified) #benchy that was included on the flashforge. this seems to be pretty different from the original...

Having some fun with glow-in-the-dark PLA for my 3D printer.

(Planning on printing some decorations for my daughter's room)

#Benchy #Bambu #3DPrinting

#3dprinters do you know what that tube locking thing is called and have you ever had to replace on the regular?

Tube came loose during a #benchy.

Jumped into to a new rabbit hole and just finished my very first 3D print of an iconic #Benchy. This is sooo much fun. Don’t call me in the next few weeks. :D #3dprinting

My venerable #prusa MK3S+ was resurrected from its ~3-year slumber.

Updated the firmware to the most recent one, dusted off the print bed, put glue on the bed, loaded up filament, and tried to print an old GCODE from the SD card, a full-plate sheet to check for leveling.

That particular file might have been generated for the MK3 (this printer was upgraded from that model), and it threw out SEVERAL errors, either related to leveling (I suspect it might have to do with the fact that new firmware expects to only level around the part, not the whole bed) or temperature.

Sliced a #Benchy, slapped it onto the SD card, and it's now doing a ~1.5-hour print like it had never stopped a day.

I'll have to see if I can get PETG working, too. If so, I'll be able to print quite a bit more things than on an 18x18 bed 😛

And I'll need to get a phone for it, for Octo4a.

More updates in the epic tale of my #3dprinting drama. I went to do a #Benchy test and it took three layers for me to realize what the first issue was: the print bed belt was WAY too loose and it was wobbling all over the place. I've tightened that and also declogged any clogs that were in there. So far, Benchy print #2 is looking a lot more promising.

#Benchy ist jetzt Public Domain.

What a bit of nonsense this whole benchy drama has been.

I’m glad that everyone was sensible in the end and the benchy is now public domain

The owners of the IP for Benchy claim that they never initiated the takedowns and have now publicly declared that variants are OK and placed the model into the public domain!

Ooops. It was going so well, till the little benchy broke free. Nothing a little glue stick won’t fix.

#Prusa #Mk4 Trying to print a #benchy using #inputshaping via #octoprint may have been a bit ambitious for a second print.

The benchy first layer, twice, came out poorly and no additional layers printed. This was undetected by the printer. The extruder kept moving.

And now I'm seeing this message after 2 failed attempts.

Not great.

Every day with a new #Benchy is a good day.

This one is #Prusament Woodfill Linden Light.

I do wish they'd mention the base plastic they use for this blend though.

#3dprinting @3dprinting

@orangeacme I could not find any specifics on print speed other than the 500 mm/s in the datasheet, in videos they are printing way slower, so I guess it's the max travel speed.

I set up a printer in Prusa Slicer, multiplied the speeds and extrusion widths.

Using 0.3 mm layer height (seen in some videos) it would take around 16 days.

Using 1.3 mm layer height (maximum from specs) it'd take only about 3 days.

That's still a lot!

All great things are made of small things... Today, one of our students achieved proof of principle on turning #singleuseplastic bottles into filament for #3dprinting! Then a #benchy was printed..
From here we scale up production and start making #openhardware out of plastic bottles!!

I got some new filament and finally finished my last big print.

Stop - benchy time 👯‍♀️

I did not realize using a 0.2 nozzle would increase printing time by so much. I'm running a #Benchy print and it's going to take 2 hours :bear_facepalm: :emo_skull:

This is awesome! A life-size #Benchy! I would totally build one if I lived near a large body of water.

28 Minute #Benchy 😎 1mm nozzle .5mm layer height.

Now we can start to go big 😬
