Yes it has been a while

 So I printed up this funnel filter. It is for filtering things like cooking oil. It is  funnel within a funnel and has holes in the inner portion so that what you are filtering will not just be filtered at the bottom but the sides also..


Here is the link from thingiverse.


Here are a couple of pictures of the finished print




And here is the video that octoprint captured during the print. I am not sure how long it took as it ran over night and was done when I came home from work.

Rubber Band Smart Phone Holder

 I found this on thingiverse Rubber Band Smart Phone Holder. It is Really a tripod for your phone. It is a simple print. Of course I did have to update my build plate as it was having a hard time sticking. That has always been fixed by replacing the magnetic build plate surface. As they do get worn out over time.





Rather then crowd the print I did it in 3 separate prints. The three legs in one print. The phone holder in another and the top of the legs as a third. I used M4*12 Screws and M4 nuts to hold it together. I was a little nervous about the width of the tripod leg holder but the screws pull it all in and they are tight enough not to move but not so tight that I can't change the position.






Thanks for looking!

It has been a while

 Well I haven't really posted anything in a while. But I just printed off a phone holder on the 3D Printer.  It came out pretty good. Used two different colors for contrast grey and yellow. These two colors look good together.













Thanks for Looking

3D Printer

 Well I haven't posted here is quite a while. I have had an interesting period of time with the family having various medical issues and my daughter getting married so I just have not been doing much other then spending all my time and money on those things, But here is a video of a 3D print I did recently.


This is one of those Fidget Infinity Cubes.  It is just something that constantly folds up and goes from a square to a rectangle over and over.
