Davide Bucci<p>I 3D printed a few dragon eggs that work well with the red/blue silk filament that I used for the dragon a few weeks ago. My significant one is delighted! <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/3Dprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3Dprint</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/RepRap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RepRap</span></a></p>
Davide Bucci<p>A recent project of mine has been to install a heated bed on my <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/3Dprinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3Dprinter</span></a>. It went quite smoothly and it improved quite a lot the warping when I print <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/PLA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PLA</span></a>. I used a solid-state relay that is kept in the bottom of the printer, inside a small box that I designed and printed myself. The results are very good! The warping is clearly reduced. It is not shown, but the wiring also contains a protection hearth wire for the aluminum plate. <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/3Dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3Dprinting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/RepRap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RepRap</span></a></p>
