In Blender I made an update for the Male Statue. For this print I have defided the mesh in 3 parts.
This will be a long print.
I started with the base. The item which will go into the centrepiece of the Cube. Here is the top of the item. I turned the item around in Cura. It will be clear in the end picture.
And here after 2:27 hours of printing. And 92% done.
And after 2:53 hours it was ready. But with a little fault.
The last image shows that the toplayer wasn't done properly. But luckely this part is not visible.
And the item fits very good in the centrepiece. There is only little movement posible.
Next day I started printing the bottompart of the statue. It will be about 8 hours..
And after 8:09 hours it was ready but with the sample mistake as was made with the bottompart. In general I am very satisfied with the print. It is very smooth on the outside. Different layers are hardly visible. The problem was the toplayer which wasn't complete closed.
It won't be a big problem because the toppart of the statue will be glued on it.
And this is a preview of who it will be in the end.
The next day I started the print for the toppart. The print after 4:50 hours of printing and 41% is done.
It looks very good..... but then
problems started with the extrusion. It was 100% what came out of the printhead.. It was clearly underextrusion... In the image below you can see that clearly on the right side.. This image is after 6:26 hours of printing and 60% done...
One reason why this problem occured could be the cold weather today... Windy.... I already turned the radiator higher... Maybe the liquid plastic cooled a little bit and didn't came out normally. Allthough the temperatur stays ok around the 205 degreeds and the feeder isn't giving trouble....
And it went worser.
Here is the print after 6:39 hours of printing and 63% done.
The toplayers are not done and the nozzle is moving in the air... So I had to stop the print...
Almost 7 hours waisted.........
