donnob Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Anyone out there with a 3D printer? Man these tools are cool for bringing an idea to life. I know @ChefDylan and @Pants are creating some cool shit. Thought I'd create a thread to see what everyone else is doing with their toys and what 3D printer they're using. Coming from an engineering background my makes are more problem solving whereas other makes might be more on the creative side, doing figurines and chess sets etc. So what's on your printer bed and have you printed anything that could be useful for our grows, maybe we can share stl files (is that allowed?) or maybe I can help out with CAD for an idea, who knows, let's chat... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnob Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 For one of my grow projects I wanted to exhaust my tent to the outside and also pull outside air in. So I removed the glass window and replaced it with 4mm plexiglass, I chose a cloudy plexiglass that only allows 30% light through. I had the plexiglass lasercut to the ducting diameters and also clearance for my bolts. I then drew up and 3D printed the louvers on the one side and the duct attachments on the other. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefDylan Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Awesome idea. I print odds and ends. Busy printing signage for my wifes practice. I have attached some of my work. But a great idea to print stuff for our grows if anything is needed. Here are a few pics of things that I have done along with my setup. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pants Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Been a couple of months since we played. Gotta get a move on and prep the next session. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
