Just a little jest. If you are old enough you will recognize the words,&nbsp; rhymes, and meter of the lines above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inspiration was my constant feeling of always spending too much time and money making plastic Junque. But the reality for me is this is what hobby-class 3D printing is all about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The items shown here are not so much Junque, but were designed and made today just because I felt the need to make them. Guilty, I like to make things for any or no reason. It\u2019s a hobby. Only reason necessary. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two cauldrons were a design I created as a bit of a printing test. The bottoms are 100 mm across raised a few millimeters by the three legs They need bottom support when printing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The yellow cauldron was printed on my Anycubic Viper machine using PLA . The Viper build plate is where the group picture was taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brassy cauldron is PLA printed with a mix of shiney coffee gold and shiney silver, blended single nozzle with the new CETUS2 printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both machines do outstanding FDM printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The small green cup is also one of my original designs I call it the \u201cpenta-twist.\u201d I have made many (Junque) copies of this cup because I like the complex design . This one had to be reduced in size to fit the build area of my Anycubic Photon Mono SE MSLA printer. The resin used is Elegoo water washable transparent green.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many different printing techniques all running at the same time. The inspiration for my poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a good day but ran well into the wee hours. Most late hour build times, I retire to bed when the print is going well. But I was interested in seeing all three of these prints to the finish. The cauldrons were f<em>irst-time<\/em> prints and I like to make sure they finish well. The top rim required support for the print in addition to the raised bottom support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Viper and Cetus2 set side by side in my HVAC conditioned work\/office and were the last to finish. The resin printer is in my garage work shop because of the print fumes. For the Texas 40 degree cold Spring weather, I had the heat on there to get the shop to near seventy. Resin printing needs a warm area. I wanted to get the heat off again when it finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that plastic material and energy use requires expenditure of monstrous amounts cash. No\u2026 not really. But I don\u2019t waste things like heating energy when not needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think these projects are worth all the time money and effort just because I enjoy \u201cmaking\u201d them\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was working in the quantum-lab, late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my 3D models from their slabs, began to rise And suddenly to my surprise I did some math, I did some monster math The monster math, it was a graveyard smash I did the math, it caught on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":302,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[7,10,9,27,28],"class_list":["post-303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-activity","tag-cetus2","tag-fdm","tag-junque","tag-resin","tag-vyper"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quantum3dprint.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
