Ben's Prints

Are those all supports or is that a base for the turtles to rest on?

Either way, that looks really cool!

I believe parts of what you see is the shank to the ring.

Ahh I see it now. I just assumed it was a standalone character model, not a ring.

Yes, that's the shank. With the brown print, I got too excited after i made the turtle I printed it before i figured out what the shank would be... haha heres a little video of what im wanting it to look like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmeWzyZtvE

That would be cool. What metal are you going to cast those in and how much?

[mongerdesigns]

Very nice, Ben! You got them skills!

Finished Turtle

[Messerbr]

I've been getting some hard lines on my prints that looks like maybe the platform isnt running up the Z screw as smoothly as it could. I put some all-in-one lubricant on the screw that seemed to improve it but I was wondering what you guys are using for this if anything.

[mongerdesigns]

I use white lithium grease.

Hey Ben you turtle looks great!! Also might want to re-calibrate your build plate. Mark
