Fuel your addiction
Every night I am up at crazy hours, printing or posting. This just goes to show you that you need to fuel the 3d printing addiction!
Big prints hurt the bank
I am almost halfway through my largest print. I looked over to see how the filament was doing, and the brand new roll of orange PLA was slowly running out. I never printed this big before, so it did not occur to me that i will use over 1kg. I checked Cura to be surprised that this print will use 1.5kg so my part will be half orange and half another color. I'm glad I checked now before realizing when it was done.
Pros and cons of printing big
I currently in printing something that will take a little over three days. Now the outcome of that will be amazing but waiting is very challenging because I cannot tinker or print anything else while I wait. Luckily I have a second machine to play on. I use the words "play on" , because I enjoy what I do 3-D printing is not only a job for me it is a hobby and something I enjoy.
