[3D Printing] my first project


My first creation from scratch using Freecad CAO software, and my 3D printer. This CG balancer is the tool I needed to setup correctly the CoG on my sailplanes accurately. It is made from PLA and aluminium, is very stable, and very sensitive, so precision should be better than the millimeter, which is perfect. Freecad is a bit like OpenTx, you need to learn the philisophy of it. I still haven't understood everything but I'm getting better every day using it. For the 3D printer GCode generation, I switched to CURA 15.04.3 instead of SLICR. I obtained much better results, and now I'm able to print right at the first attempt. Correct Temperature for orange PLA from BQ is 215 degrees. Overall, this first project give me confidence in the usability and interest of the 3D printing for our hobby.

    1. Il est effectivement inspiré sur certains points par celui de multiplex. Il est amélioré sur bien des aspects et en premier lieu par la qualité des matériaux. Les barres en fibres de verre utilisées par MPX laissaient des fibres sous la peau lors des manipulations. J'ai rapidement arrêté de l'utilisé à cause de cela.

  4. Pourquoi avoir supprimé mon premier commentaire ?
    Je possède une balance MPX, j'ai installé des vis de blocage sur les contrepoids comme sur le modèle de P.Rondel, car ceux-ci ne tiennent pas en place lors de l'utilisation de la balance.
    Effectivement c'est une belle réalisation que voici.

  5. Belle réalisation merci. Allez vous publier celle ci sur un site comme Thingiverse.com de partage de réalisations 3D ? J'y ai mis quelques dessins simples comme protection de commandes de servos ou support de led pour quacopteres. http://www.thingiverse.com/milcent/designs?sort=&filter=&search=fabrikator

  6. you should try 3d filaprint for filament, it's the only place I got o now and james bruton uses them :)

  7. Those of higher end printers can definitely use several powder based materials, in order to design 3D objects. Printers

  10. You have to think about the above and how ordering your prints online is clearly going to benefit you. When you think about it you're going online searching through your favourite search engine, and looking for an easier way to have your prints in your hand with minimum risk and effort. 3dm8 website
