Got most of the parts printed for my LR3 build. The YZ plates don’t fit on my Prusa so I sliced them in half and printed them separately. I’ll report how this works out after I put it together.
Do you think I’ll be able to cut the struts and YZ plates before they fail?
Did I slice these in the better direction (horizontally) versus vertically?
Is there some kind of lapped joint in the split, or did you just cut the piece in two?
I bet that works until you can cut new plates.
If not, there are other ways to split these- for example look here:
Nice, yeah I probably should have done a lapped joint or something but wasn’t confident in editing an STL. I’ll let everyone know if the super glue holds though.
I figured if it did break, I can use it as a template to hand make some out of MDF.
I’m holding my thumbs for you!
Just reporting the two pieces seem to be fine. I got the machine up and running, cut out the struts and installed them. I made YZ plates out of 1/2" MDF and have them ready.
I don’t really feel like taking the whole machine apart. I have maybe ~50 hours on it and I don’t feel like the 2 piece 3D printed ones are affecting me in any way.
