No sir, I would never have even thought about you doing that my friend, :person_facepalming: I possibly, maybe, could have done that at one time……. but I’ll admit to nothing. :person_facepalming: …
Might not be a bad idea Zebretta. :+1:
It crossed my mind to give THIS a try. :person_facepalming: … But I like your idea better……. :+1: …
Haha!! You’re right…which is the “INCOMING!!!”…mentioned in the OP. 8 “pink” 3000nAh 18650’s from GB on the way.
(May have to re-wrap those tho……wrong shade of pink for my tastes
Wow. There are so many. I ended up by a Flash Forge Creator Pro Clone for about $600.
The important things to consider are……
1). The print bed size
2). Nozzle diameter
3). Heated (or unheated) print bed
4). Filament diameter
5). What material you will likely want to use.
Would be glad to offer whatever advice I can anytime
Yes sir! Thanks!
Ummm…all told I would say about 30 hours give or take?
I printed it in sections then used Weld-On 4 to permanently combine the pieces.
I would start a section before I went to sleep and it would be done in the morning.
Repeated that until it was all printed.
I hope everyone gets a 3D printer eventually so they can join the fun.
I do know there are already a number of people who’ve been at this forum long before me that use a 3D printer.
Maybe they’ll chime in?
I’d love to see the cool stuff they’ve made. Maybe we can swap print files.
Here’s something else Flashlight related I made with it……
A Protective lens cap for my new Convoy C8 to protect the lens against scratches and damage when I toss it in the car.
It self tightens when you twist it to keep it snugly in place. I’d bet a lot of other members here with a 3D printer have made some cool lens caps.
With a 3D printer you could design and print anything you could imagine. Including a case for all your flashlights.
Although to print really really big stuff might require a really really big (expensive) 3D printer
Here’s a little Harbor Freight Precision Screwdriver organizer I made because I’m so scatterbrained I kept misplacing them…
It’s really a lot of fun to do this stuff in my free time.
