Testing Infinity Flow - 2 Day Print with our Elegoo Giga printer.

We have 2 Ender 3 3D Printers. Needs some extruder work, but otherwise mechanically sound. They can be picked up during Firestorm Robotics open house on Sunday. 2PM to 3PM.

FREE!

A Minor Speedbump and an Awesome Build!

One of our members has an exceptionally cool job that keeps him immersed in the Maker experience. His team has been using RTK GPS instruments in support of a railyard modernization project and they identified a need for better protective enclosures/shells for their sensitive equipment.

Our member mocked up a plywood model which served adequately well, but for looks (and weight?), Management suggested 3D printing a 2.0 version. Enter Cherokee Makerspace!

Using one of our Anycubic resin printers, the Photon Mono X, he has knocked out a new version that is sleek and stylish. Check out the attached photos!!

Unfortunately, an unlucky snag damaged the FEP membrane on the printer and took it out of commission before the production run was complete on the 10+ shells required.

Not to worry, tho, with the manufacturer's repair video on Youtube, a bit of diminutive fastener wrangling, and a cheap 5 pack of replacement films was all that stood in the way of progress.

Good job!
