Fusion - Turn a Mesh into a regular Solid Body

3D Printing + Fusion

I've seen several videos and explanations that make little sense, no longer work, or only work in commercial versions.

But... the following method (mostly and often) works (for now).

Frankenblocks - Dialing in your printer

3D Printing + Frankenblocks

Combining Lego and 3D printing shows again how much engineering went into those stupid little Lego bricks. I can't print as accurate as their factory produces them, but I have to get as close as I can to make things usable.

See also the Frankenblocks Calibration Package!

The Long Road - Part 3 - Drying Cover for the Heating Bed - X1C / P1S / P2S / X2D

3D Printing + The Long Road

I own an AMS-HT, but not all rolls / spools fit. You can, however, also dry your filament inside your printer, using the heated printer bed. It may be slower and less efficient, it looks less sexy and it blocks you from actually using your printer for printing, but hey! It works.

Sunlu S1 Mod - Preliminary design and test print

3D Printing + Sunlu S1 Mod

This is a work in progress. This is going to be a modification of the Sunlu S1, based on the 'Turbo Mod MK2'.

I'm currently printing a prototype using PLA, just to make sure I got all dimensions etc. right, and I still have to design some air valves.

3D printing a LED driver enclosure - 2 - Work in progress

3D Printing + Domotics + DIY

Long ago 😅 I said I was planning to design my own enclosure for a led driver and led controller. Of course, reality interfered and lots of other things got in the way.

Still, I made some progress. And hit a couple of snags on the way...

Sunlu S1 Mod - Second (more challenging) ABS print on my Bambu X1C

3D Printing + Sunlu S1 Mod

I'm trying to mod my Sunlu S1 with a design of my own, which also offers me a challenge to better understand Fusion 360, the Bambu X1C, and printing in ABS. And if it all works out I should end up with an enhanced filament dryer, so win-win.

If it works...

FB-10000-5 - Calibration Package v5

3D Printing + Frankenblocks

These objects can help you calibrate your printer. This should make it easier to print Lego compatible blocks, such as the Frankenblocks. You can find the files on Makerworld.

For most people it will be enough to print plate 1, play a little with X- and Y-compensation for 'snappiness', and be done with it.
