3D printed on a Prusa MK3S using PLA+/Silk PLA
Dang. I should have posted this sooner.
Using the blue and yellow pushpins to put this up is the kind of attention to detail that makes someone Overseer material. Keep up the good work, vault dweller.
As the British would say, I'm chuffed that you noticed. Thank you!
Quick 3D printing question:
I can clearly see the print lines on this; is this the printbed side? From what I've seen on YT, the side that touches the bed is nice and uniform. Is that not always the case?It is not the print bed side that you're seeing. It's also a fairly close up pic, and then I cropped out more. The lines aren't as prominent in person at arms length.
The print bed side is nice and smooth and looks better than this. I had a couple of minor issues getting this printed that also contributed to the top layers not looking their absolute best, but even if they did, you would still be seeing the print lines. There's not a lot that can be done about that. 3D printing is a prototyping technology, after all.
What I did here was to make the white rectangle the first color (Esun PLA+ Cool White), then at a certain layer height - I think 2mm - I unloaded the white filament, swapped to a blue silk filament and resumed the print. So all the blue you see is sitting on top of the white.
Some people have printers that can automatically swap between filaments, and therefore they can "paint" prints like this to be the full yellow, blue, white and black that you see elsewhere. Those can be expensive and hard to operate though, so I don't own one. I sure would like that capability though.
Technically speaking... if one's center of consciousness is IN the head, wouldn't it be your body that can be lost? :)
The important thing is that they're a partnership, and any split is catastrophic.
