3D Printing

The Printer Itself

My printer is a tuned but largely stock Prusa Mk4. I mainly use a 0.6mm E3D brass nozzle for all mechanical components, and a 0.25mm E3D nozzle for high detail prints! I print out of all sorts of filaments depending on the project, from PLA or PETG for simple parts, to ABS, ASA, and TPU for more specialized parts!

My enclosure is a custom form of the relatively common 'Ikea Lack Enclosure' for 3D printers, which normally consists of one or two 'Lack' IKEA tables, some thin acrylic sheets, and a pile of 3D printed parts. For my design, I wanted to use tempered glass for the aesthetic and durability, and so I had to redesign most of the parts to accommodate a thicker wall, and an entirely new door system. Every printed component I used in the enclosure was designed by yours truly in Fusion 360, my CAD software of choice!

I also decided to build a temperature regulator into the enclosure, which consists of an Arduino Uno as the primary controller, an old PC fan, a couple DHT11 sensors, and a little LCD! These are wired straight into the enclosure itself and have a little dial to change the target temperature depending on your given material!

DnD Props and Terrain

These are some of the nicer final products I printed for my DnD group! We play all sorts of systems, but our favorites have been DnD 5e and a Homebrew form of Cyberpunk 2020!

Larger Prints

The first two are 3D printed wall mountable artwork for some kids rooms, and the second is a Tardis shaped deck box for Magic The Gathering for a friend of mine! The wall art is bigger than my build plate by a solid amount, so as you can kind of see with the seams, they were printed in multiple parts. The piranha plant was three parts, and the stitch was five!
