What I was up to...

Post by uze6666 »

I've not being too much present in the past days...but I had a good reason! :P Just got a 3D printer, and I'm spending countless hours playing with it (just like a kid with a new box of LEGOs)! And modeling stuff. You guessed it, some will be, uh what else...Uzebox related! :lol: More to come on that.

I must say it was hard for me to get started, the first 10 attemps failed to print something. But after more fine tuning, cleaning the extruder and what else, relative success. That's the left one. After slowing down the speed and more adjustment of the build plate, I got the one on the right. I know that printer can do much better than that, so more experimenting to do. I've ordered better quality filaments so thing should improve! :D

So jealous!

You are going to 3D print a Uzebox case, right?

You bet! Plus enclosure for other addons, like the keyboard adapter discussed in another thread, wi-fi adapter, paddle controller for arkanoid, etc etc...ok I'm getting over exited here! :lol:

Perhaps I'll open a new forum or topic in the Hardware section to discuss 3D printing. Ideas?
