A friend donated me a printer to play with. Qidi X-Max
Big unit but they are supposed to be very capable...
also big learning curve .... but it does all of the hard to do filaments so it will be interesting when i get my head around it!
playing with PetG to start with as thats what i have heaps of....

These? I've made them, but they weren't successful. I need to try different filament.

That's them John. Dave tried a couple of versions quite some time ago, but they broke when being pressed into place.
One day, someone will overcome!

this thing can do the really hard stuff ... i just have to learn how to drive it
i have it doing PetG and TPU95A really nicely so far
i need to start playing with ABS and ASA
after that i'll try PCCF and NYLON, which in a perfect world, should do those RR things as good as any printer could...

pretty green!
treating my self to getting aquianted with FreeCad again
sadly the grey matter isnt what it used to be and it's taking a while for the the penny to drop like it used to [bigwhistle]
thankfully youtube videos can be pretty helpful even if i do have to watch them 50 times for it to sink in...
