Biggest print so far. About 42 hours and 2.6kg of filament. No, I don't have room for a table saw, how did you know?

Needed a tool drawer thingy but nothing I saw online was the right size. Ended up buying some serving trays from IKEA and printing this rack for them. Ended up going with PLA, seems strong enough. 4 perimeters with a 0.6mm nozzle. Image Image Image

When I first saw this I assumed these were baking pans and admired the bravado to assume no one would ever slide one in there whilst hot.

  They pretty much are baking pans. IKEA sells them as “serving trays”.

Most of the hardware/home-improvement stores near me offer to cut the wood they sell to size.

I probably would’ve gone that route, and then print the tracks for the trays. And screw those into the wood.

  Why not make the tracks out of wood as well, its just square pieces

    They usually have a minimum size, and I was trying to avoid sawing at all.

What printer did you use?

- ramenshaman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago
  Bambu H2D. I bought it before the most recent shitty thing they did.

One single print or assembled? What printer did you use? I’m fascinated. I’ve wanted to make big storage for my bigger hobbies but I have a small printer.

  Use your small printer to build a slightly larger printer, and then use that printer to build a slightly even larger printer. Then print this

Tbf, 2.6kilos of bulk china PLA is probably cheaper than the sheet of plywood and glue+screws it would have taken to build that.

  Yeah, and a lot less time, likely, too. CADing that would be pretty quick.

This is definitely one of those, “I dont have access to a tablesaw” prints. I feel you, I’ve got no room for one either.

  You can build things without a tablesaw…a simple jigsaw and a spirit level as a guide gets you good results for straight cuts, just a little slower.
  
  With some practice a regular saw will even get you good results for simple things like this.

    Or a circular saw.

Impressively large print, but I would’ve probably just built this in plywood or MDF.

source
- ramenshaman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago
  Yeah that would have been cheaper lol

    Hah I’m not even sure, even cheap materials like plywood have gotten expensive
