Yes Naomi is kind of cute - she's really pushing the limit on YouTube with those outfits!
Sorry for the communications blackout lately Erena. I'll be getting back to you here soon.Erena Ichinose wrote:Hi Mannequinfan

I've had to spend most of the week working with my new printer. I've had a few issues that I've been trying to work out so I can get this thing in production.
Had to design a new spool holder so I can use all the different filaments that I have with this machine.
It seems every filament maker has to have their own spool design.
Turned out to be a bit of a project, but I finally got it worked out...

Thought this looked pretty cool with the LED lights so I had to take a photo...

Re: My Afinia 3d printer has arrived!
Still trying to find my dream body for Abby2... The default female face is very pretty and the body details are really quite nice for being a free program.
Sadly, Manuel Bastioni decided to end the Lab project and close his site due to lack of funding.
For those still interested in MB Lab, some community members have picked it up where he left off and the newest version for Blender 2.80 is available here: https://github.com/animate1978/MB-Lab/r ... /tag/1.7.3

Re: My Afinia 3d printer has arrived!
I too saw that MB Labs had folded. Glad someone carried it forward.
I was recently doing some searches for the latest creator programs and ABS printers.
Have you done any printer research lately to know what's available for around a grand?
I saw some nice ones for $2-3K, but can't do that.

RK, just save up a little longer ($1500) and get one like mine...rubherkitty wrote: Have you done any printer research lately to know what's available for around a grand?

The UP printers have been designed for ABS from the beginning and they are practically plug & play.
Been getting flawless prints from my Box+ for over a year now.

Re: My Afinia 3d printer has arrived!
Yeah, I'd rather save and buy better than settle for less. Print size is everything for doll building.
Re: My Afinia 3d printer has arrived!
What large abs printers do you have in mind? One of the larger printers I'm thinking of buying is the creality 10s. It's one of the largest printers for good price, but I want to print abs. If I do, then ill need to build an enclosure to keep it heated. Also I would probably need to make some modifications to steady the printer.rubherkitty wrote:Thanks

If I got the large printer however, then the benefit would be less parts to make in 3d and less parts to assemble after printing.

Re: My Afinia 3d printer has arrived!
I don't recall what printers I was checking out. They were beyond my price range so I didn't take notes. I think I just did a Youtube entry like: Best ABS printer for 2018 and watched some comparison vids.Maiz wrote:What large abs printers do you have in mind?

Re: My Afinia 3d printer has arrived!
The difficulty is in printing abs on a cheaper printer but I dont absolutely need abs and might just use pla anyway. The cheapness and size of the creality printer certainly hooked me in and I dont see another printer competing with it.

Re: My Afinia 3d printer has arrived!
Here's a post from a member using a CR10...
viewtopic.php?p=1315283#p1315283
I'm getting the feeling I'm wasting my time recommending the printer I have, but you can still get one for $1500.
https://www.amazon.com/Tiertime-Resolut ... B01MAYMBUH
These are fully enclosed, 8" x 10" x 8" print volume, and print ABS like a champ right out of the box.
They also now have separate extruders that can be swapped out for printing other materials like PLA and TPU.
Remember you get what you pay for. With a $700 open source printer like the CR10 you're going to have to do a lot of tinkering to get good results.
You will definitely need an enclosure and a full metal hot end to print ABS which will add to that cost.
For a little more $, Tiertime now has the UP300 which has some added features over the Box+.
For one, the double sided print surface sounds pretty cool - glass on one side and perf board on the other.

Re: My Afinia 3d printer has arrived!
This is all perfectly doable on my Box+ printer.
To get a 49" model the body can be simply scaled to 80% and use 4" steel hemis like my original Abby design.
So two designs in one!
