Comparing 3D Printer Supports
Today were going to be comparing a model from Thingiverse that was printed with no support material, Cura line support, Cura grid support and Meshmixer "post" supports. In order of best to least finish here were the results along with the material/time estimation from my slicer:
Meshmixer supports: 58 minutes @ 1.41M filament
Cura line supports: 1 hour 8 minutes @ 1.69M filament
Cura grid suports: 1 hour 20 minutes @ 2.04M filament
No supports: 46 minutes @ 1.21M filament

Interesting finding was that Cura grid supports were absolutely impossible to remove and ended up giving a worse surface finish than the lines and post style supports due to the difficulty in removing supports. Meshmixer supports have the advantage of being controlled by you, the user, although they can be a bit tricky to work with. Trade off is that much less filament is used and the supports go exactly where needed! Plus you can target potential problem areas right away.

Printed in ColorFabb PLA/PHA Shining silver at 220*C, 50 MM/S internal print speed, 30 MM/S external print speed at .25 layers.

While Boulder Valley Models is no longer with us as a company, their kits can still be found floating around at various model train shows and online. I can't remember exactly where I got this kit but it will be a welcome addition to the roster so my guys can get around in a little more comfort and style! While it wasn't ideal I just used some super-thin ACC glue with the occasional dribble of "kicker" to get everything to bond together as anticipated. The parts were sprayed in Rustoleum Filler Primer in preparation for being stained, making the surface look pretty dang close to wood! Video on that process here, using India inks. https://youtu.be/YBZob30Qyw8 You can also directly support the channel through these links: Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/makeitwithcalvin Amazon Affiliates: https://amzn.to/2qeWN3l Check out my Shapeways store here: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/calvin'screations Check out my Etsy here: http://etsy.me/2nRMnWk Check out my Merch here: http://www.merchminion.com/store/Make-it-with-Calvin-c27444206 Donate to the channel directly here: https://www.paypal.me/MakeItWithCalvin Proto-Pasta Affiliate link: http://www.proto-pasta.com?aff=13 Social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/MakeItWithCal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MakeItWithCalvin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makeitwithcalvin/ Check out my models: Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/MakeItWithCalvin Pinshape: https://pinshape.com/users/106868-make-it-with-calvin ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDbEat42OH8

lbry://@Make_It_With_Calvin/fixing-wrong-e-steps-on-3d-printer
I am using the Geeetech A-series line of printers and their own issue with the wrong e-steps loaded into the firmware in this video but it can be used on any 3D printer running Marlin. Steps are as follows: Connect your printer up via the USB port Open your favorite slicer, connect to the machine and open the "command prompt." Type in "M92 E430.38" (this is for the Geetech machines, insert the right steps for your machine) Follow it with "M500" to save the settings to your machine's memory, otherwise, it will forget the new setting when the power is turned off. Congratulations your steps/MM is now set, go print some stuff!

lbry://@Make_It_With_Calvin/ebay-battery-desulfator-pt-1
I have seen these units floating around eBay and other websites for a long time ranging from the unit that I got for under $15 to units costing $50+. I figured for the price they were asking in the listing it was well worth it to grab one. The drawback was it had no clips and no case but this is Make It With Calvin so... I fixed that! Now I have no clue if this unit actually works as advertised but we shall see in the coming months. I saw this as a good opportunity to show other projects here on the channel!

RIDIN

lbry://@Make_It_With_Calvin/riding-the-7-steel-box-motor
I was invited for an after-hours ride on the 7 steel box motor at the Western Railway Museum as a new member of the museum down to the end of the overhead line and back. I was able to capture some incredible shots along the ride and figured it was worthy of its own video! A huge thanks to the staff and crew for inviting me along and being more than happy to let me ride in the front and film. If you are ever in the area, and they are operating, I highly recommend checking them out.

This is a remake of my original action camera tripod from last time with a few key differences to make the unit more operable and durable. I have found the changes make it way simpler to use in the field and did not affect the overall performance of it.
