3D printed stuff, showcase it here

Printing stuff to print stuff:

I was not really happy with my printer when printing soft materials and when I needed to change or work on the hot end.

So I took the better designed Print head of the FLSUN Super Racer and printed a custom effector (will be milled out of Aluminium If I am happy with it) to get it in my qq printer. Then printed a mount of the Sherpa mini Extruder.
Bow I have to see if the old printer is strong and stiff enough for fast printing with this setup.

A foundry pattern for the travelling steady of my lathe. 3D printing makes it relatively easy to make a follow-board

The embed link works perfectly in the editor preview, but not here on the page.

Works fine for me.

Some close ups of the modified Voron 2.4 that uses linear rods instead of linear rails on Y and Z axis, so only a single linear rail is required in total:
-Z and Y rails, brown parts are modified only, and an aluminium L profile is added to prevent carriages from moving sideways while still leaving some flex for up/down motion during quad gantry leveling

-one of the Z rails with the rail mount up, the lower mount can not be seen from the insulation foam, all Z rod mounts are the same and have holes for side or top/bottom mounting, this has 10mm Z rods

-a smaller printer, this one with 8mm rods on Y and Z

-a smaller printer, full Y axis with L shaped aluminium mounted upside down there is enough space for it

-full view of the bigger 10mm Z axis


-full view of the 3d printer, it did some 20 days of 24h printing in one go, gets used weekly.
This one i am calling "woody" as it is fully enclosed in wood and during long prints the motors get to 112 degree C! Probably overdid with thermal isolation...

Will also release the full STL's on printables when i double check them and sort them properly as the Y axis uses only 8mm rods but i have two versions for 6mm belt and for 10mm belt, the Z axis has options for 8 and 10 and 12mm rods.
The 3 printers i built with these mods are of following volumes:
210x210x350mm
300x235x250mm
460x460x1200mm
