3D Printing

Picked up an Ender 3 V2 printer a week or so ago and though I'd make a post and see who else is into it.

Made a few things so far, an SD card holder, a couple enclosures I needed for various electrical projects, and a neat cell phone holder.

What have you made?

Unless you plan on printing stuff that big, the ender 3 v2 is better from what I've researched. My 2 cents

End goal is to make models of steel buildings to sell to engineers. May need to print floor by floor to avoid a crapton of support trimming.

I've wanted to get one, to print parts for the 77 Beetle. But with the investment necessary to do that, design parts, test-fit them, etc it's still easier to just buy cheap china products . . .

No, Resin printers are different from typical 3d printers that print PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, etc.

Resin printing uses a liquid resin vs. a filament.

Thanks. Shows how much I know about 3D printing. I was focused on PLA itself I guess, and not the method it is employed towards printing. My bad.

As per ASTM, PLA falls into Category 7 I think. TMI though.

PLA tends to deform when exposed to heat. That's one issue?

Material type selection all depends on application/environment. By default/in best practice, yes, PLA type should not be used outdoor. However, the attached was printed at 100% infill and after about 9 months in the Florida sun, no signs of any issues. Scorpion one was on my old truck and other was designed for a customer.
