hi new to your channel, love the video. I found it because I'm looking for a way to 3d print car parts but bigger parts, like a door or hood. any ideas?
They do make Industrial printers large enough to do that. But they will be very expensive. I think what you would want to focus on is making Fiberglass molds. That is a great way for you to replicate parts, but then make them out of lighter fiberglass. Or Carbon Fiber as most do now.
I know the molding process that you're talking about but I want to make large custom pieces. The molding process works for replication. I want customization
That curling looks pretty bad - Perhaps this helps: Set your bed-temperature to 60'C in your slicer, but PREHEAT it to 85'C (before you start printing). Works for me (to limit curling). Adding a brim helps too. A new nozzle (20 cents on AliExpress) will help too. BTW - what's the point of a bumper that's *not* squishy?
Im not sure why its squishy, it work very well being solid. I think the curling is due to uneven bed. I have a bad tendency to only apply glue where my part is, so if i start with a fresh bed, 1 layer of glue, i don't have this problem. I just don't like cleaning it every single time.
