3D Printing time :) Seamoth 150 mm 3D Print

DatenThielt

Not the longest print I have done but if I can get the supports off the steering wheel without damaging it, That would be a miracle . Will keep the post updated

You're 3D Printing a Seamoth?! That's awesome!

DatenThielt

I am indeed If this one goes ok I might go for the Cyclops next

phantomfinch

Can you give us dimensions? Preferably in the metric system?

DatenThielt

Sure thing. I am printing it at half my printers total height.

Height Z: 143.29 mm
Width Y 110.73 mm
Length X: 57.8 mm
Total Volume: 141.608 cm^3
Build Time: 11 hours
Filament Used 34445.4 mm
Estimated Weight: 103.22G

Update. 3 hours in and it looks like the engine is finished, its going to start on the "wings"
and internal compartment now In the pic you can see the antenna at the back and towards the front the Power cell holder. plus the engine (Its surrounded by printed supports at the moment, and there is a bit of stringing due to higher than usual temp)

I remain convinced that 3D printers are not a product of technology, but sorcery.

7 hours in, Starting to take that seamoth shape

We mastered fire, electricity, and can build things that make spaces COLDER than they should be. We have doubled the life span of individuals and can replace entire sections of our bodies.

Face it. Our race is made up of wizards.

She is done (excluding painting)

I wish I could awesome this TWICE!!!

That's ridiculously cool.

Very nicely done sir.
Now for the sanding phase of the project, right?

So approximately how long did you just run around you room going "bing bing bing" with the sub.

Don't you mean "Splat, splat, splat" (mimicking the sound a Seamoth makes whilst running into Peepers and Spadefish).

Peepers and spadefish? I think you mean:
"Splat, splat, THUNK"

Images uploaded here for those who don't want to Dropbox. Just needed to open 'em up and re-save 'em. So awesome; someone show these to the Devs, stat!

Show that to the devs maybe it could me SN merch

DatenThielt

Sorry all, I was actually quite drunk last night when trying to take those photo's I will upload better photo's today and outline future plans

DatenThielt

Things that broke. The antenna on top, (recoverable) The seat (recoverable) and the steering wheel as expected, which might be recoverable. Next steps are to get rid of the strings, sand it and that might be it, I am not much of a painter. Either I try to paint it or I move onto the cyclops/some other asset next. In the mean time I will fix the retraction on the printer so the strings are not an issue for the next print.

DatenThielt

Also I will use better material, This blue pla has been sitting about for 4 years which probably cause some issues

phantomfinch

Man I wish I had a 3D printer. I would of made a small replica of the lost river skull and put it in an aquarium.

DatenThielt

if I knew where the lost river skull was I would print it. Assuming the Dev's don't mind me grabbing assets and printing them

What printing software are you using? I recently got a hold of a 3d printer, and would like to try some of this stuff out!

I wouldn't had thought there be a problem with you creating these for yourself, the issues tend to arise when you want to sell them!

Great work so far btw.. why don't you design the cockpit in clear plastic and then get shapeways to print it for you?
