FDM Printing?

Open mattkerrison opened this issue 4 years ago • 9 comments

I've bought a used iSight & have the Raspberry pi lying around, but I was curious if anyone has tried to print the enclosure with an FDM printer? With a 0.2mm nozzle I'd think it would likely be possible, curious as I would prefer that than ordering a resin printed piece.

same for me and also I bought an ender 3 v2 and will try to print this. right now I play around with Cura slicer. will report asap, but right now I have too much projects going on in parallel

Just finished completing this project, printed this on an Ender 3.

I had to omit the tiny fasteners due to the very tight tolerances needed around the shutter assembly & the two anchoring points to the cylindrical case. It's effectively friction-fit, but that works rather well. A dremel comes in handy. 100062500152_23081

what settings on the ender? standing upright?

what adhesion setup? skirt? brim? raft?

infill? suport?

so many questions :D I will do it on my ender 3 v2 asap, but I still have so many projects going on

@phenomeus

That's right, standing tall, printed with the camera-insert side touching the build plate. I did this to minimize supports, which were a pain to remove.

Simple skirt around the print, no special adhesion settings. And I believe 14% infill (gyro), nearly default (Cura HQ) settings otherwise. No part cooling fan, but that's specific to my machine.

Good luck on your print. The real pain was assembly!

finally I got it printed on my ender 3 v2 with 10% support that I had to pull off. see pictures, everything went fine but I had the camera side pointing to the top.

Do you have any photos with the support still attached? I'd be curious to see what it looked like at that point.

My Ender 3 V2 is supposed to arrive today and I am new to 3D printing, but this is one of the first projects I'm going to try.

sorry I don't but here you can see the green "helpers" = support that I had to remove
