GMU:3DIY/Printer queue

the printer has found it's new home and is sort of available. the room can for the moment be booked via me.

so, the next step will be the one you are all craving for: printing! fair enough and you shall do so, but as none of us has much experience it would be nice if you would document your printing and the tricks and tweak you find out. here is the perfect place for this.

please document your printer usage and your experiences. the printer queue is a schedule, where you can sign in for printing. with your name, the name and a picture of the thing you are going to print, the estimated print time. And when you are done a print report: featuring the settings you used, the time and amout of material it took, what issues you came across, how you fixed it ... the amount of material you used...

remember to always obey the two rules: 
do not break anything! 
do not hurt yourself!

	test.bfb	25.8.		Robert S. und Florian M.				extreme warping on the spire	higher print resolution, cooldown by fan in the critical phase, rasp and sand paper
	test2.bfb	26.8.		Robert S. und Florian M.					improved testprint, based on this, we startet printing the complete animation cycle of 16 frames
	animationcycle01.bfb (Frame 1-4)	26.8.	approx 140 minutes	Robert S. und Florian M.
	animationcycle02.bfb (Frame 5-7 +12)	30.8.	approx 140 minutes	Robert S. und Florian M.
	animationcycle03.bfb (Frame 8-11)	31.8.	approx 140 minutes	Robert S. und Florian M.
	animationcycle04.bfb (Frame 13-14)	1.9.	approx. 60 minutes	Robert S. und Florian M.
	animationcycle05.bfb (Frame 15-16)	2.9.		Robert S. und Florian M.	approx. 60 minutes
	zoetrope_cap.bfb (cap of the zoetrope)	15.9.-16.9.	approx. 10 hours till abortion	Robert S. und Florian M.				imprecise printbed complicates printing of large objects (20x20x1cm), ABS warps too much (high temperature?) So große Sachen mit ABS zu drucken ist schwer, versucht PLA --Matthias.breuer 14:37, 22 September 2010 (CEST)	optimizing the .stl file, trying the same with PLA
	zoetrope_cap.bfb (cap of the zoetrope)	21.9.	approx. 20 minutes	Robert S. und Florian M.				problems with the .stl file and imprecise printbed obviate the 2nd try while printing the raft and lead to an early stop
	Eindrucken Variante 2	29.09.2010		Katharina E.				Due to the extensive work needed preparing the LEDs the test print will be the final print.		|-
