I realised I have not posted here for a while now. I have been playing with petg for a bit instead of Ceramics. But I am just getting back into it.
I did a first test print of an idea I have had for a while.
I have been exploring using blender to create nonplaner gcode.
Hey there -
My studio recently got a Wasp Delta 2040 and I'm trying to get it up and running for them. The initial extrusion test goes about halfway down the tube and then stops. I saw one other post in this sub from 3 years ago but I'm going to make a new post and see if anyone else has experienced this and what I can do. It's been pretty dang frustration, because I do feel like I have the clay they sent to the exact same consistency as they have in their demo video. I have tried to make it wetter, and significantly wetter, too, and I cannot get it to work.
My air compressor is set to around 8 bar/about 116 psi, and on the printer it is at 5.5-6. I've tried turning it up a bit to see if it helps but nothing has worked so far.
Thanks in advance for any insight
Hello everyone! I am a final year product design student and I got into 3d ceramic printing through our university’s facilities. I have had a fair amount of experience with a WASP 2040 and I wanted to get my own 3D clay printer.
That said, I do not have the budget for a WASP printer and I started researching what the alternatives are. I did see the Tronxy Moore 1 which is ok for beginners but it is currently out of stock for delivery to the UK. From my understanding it is better for long term to convert a traditional 3d printer by getting the needed parts but I feel a bit hesitant. Is a link similar to this trustworthy: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006212670280.html ? (or similar packages for even cheaper at alibaba) I don’t have a an FDM printer either I would probably buy a second hand one from eBay, but what combination of printer and parts-wise would be most beginner friendly? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
Also, has anyone created a 3d printing setup using Jonathan Keep‘s guide? https://wikifactory.com/@jonathankeep/self-build-clay-printer I do have access to laser cutting etc. through uni so I was wondering if anyone had actually built one of these!
Thank you!
