Nice details, Dan.

I like it, Dan. For the Aristo covered hoppers, there never was any hatch diversity.

#4

Dan, how do you like the 3D Fuel Pro filament?

#5

It needs to be extruded at 215° on my printer whereas most PLA brands I print at 205°. So far I can’t see much difference as far as print quality between it and my favorite Hatchbox standard PLA. I might say the Pro PLA bridges a bit better. As far as durability, The Pro PLA parts seem a little stronger as they bend more before breaking. I have not tried annealing yet but I understand the process causes about 2% shrinkage on the X and Y axes so the print needs to be scaled to compensate.

I’m printing another test right now to see if it fixes an odd issue I’m having printing a flared radiator shroud.

Is there anyone out there that can print these out and sell them to me?
Dan?

Wonderful model, Dan. Looks like a lot of time and care went into it. Thanks for the printing notes.

If Dan @manimal doesn’t reach out to you, Lou @RRRR4 , let me know. I can give it a go. But, I have an A1 Mini, so it would take me some time to get it done. (All that really means is that the walkways are slightly too big for my print bed and I’d have to print them alone, then everything else.)
