Mini CNC Milling Machine -2

by John

The 3D printer has produced 2 batches of components using Stuart’s stl files. I did consider using green filament, but in the end I was too impatient to get started, so I used what I had on hand, which is BLACK! Not so good for photographs, but should look OK as a tool.

The first batch of components printed. Note USS Constitution’s life boat. (authenticity suffering)
and the second batch currently being printed. 8 hours so far, and another 8 hrs to finish this lot. The QIDI X-Max3 is rated as a fast printer, but I have slowed it by specifying 6 perimeter tracks, and supports.
