602, should you EVER. Please let me know. I'll gladly throw my request in for one.

now that would be something. Print a huge clock face about 14 inches across with the Cards logo in the center....discerning neckwear

Both of these would be pretty easy to do since there's already the model for it, up to about 10" that is. Most of the printers mentioned so far have a max build volume of 256mm^3. So anything up to about 10"x10" is trivial. It just takes a little longer to print that large. There's a clock kit that can be purchased too that give the mechanicals for making one.

I can look at doing a couple of them if you guys are want them. I'll check after work if I have the correct colors already. I'm not sure if the couple shades of red that I have will work or not. I might have to get a red that's more cardinals red.

I wonder if there’s a Pantone match to the available Bambu filaments.

EDIT

This might work.

What's the name of your shop? I run a specialized machine shop in Chandler. We mainly build & repair plastic injection molds but do other machining as well. We've built molds for AR & AK 30rd mags & have worked on several others.

Test print came out not too bad. The yellow I had is really close. The red is a little bit off but doesn't look back in person. Overall it looks good by itself but I need to put it by something official to see how off the colors look.

I printed at 50% scale, which is still 4.75" across, and it was 1h25m. I'm showing a 3h49 estimate for it at 100%. At 100 there's 55 filament changes which slows it down a bit. I'd probably slow it down a little bit more too by turning on ironing for the top layers.

For you AMSs:

It'll thank you. Both of mine usually sit at 10-12% humidity. I never have to re-dry filament.

Interesting. The office where I keep my printers also has my server rack, so it stays pretty warm and dry. Nice in the winter, not so much in July and August.

We had a guy in my PO academy that had a bronze bust made of himself in uniform after graduation. We all found it to be incredibly weird. Had to cost a fortune. He didn’t make it through field training was fired 3 months later. lol
Now he’s a constitutional sheriff!

I been looking at a feeder setup. How do you like that print? I seen a few and just been reading a little.

Already did the Silica mod BUT for anyone who has not done this print I highly recommend you do not print it in PLA or ABS if you have other options. If you can print it with a material that has a high melting temp to make your life a little easy.

Reason why is you will have to empty the silica from bins to toss them in the oven. If you print the bins with a higher temp material then you could just toss the whole thing in the oven. Its not a must but it saves you time from having to refill and fill them.

Btw I take it you’re a fan of Devil May Cry. Still one of my all time favorite games

I know this is in the Cardinals section and it was far down the list. Sorry if I am cluttering up things from real Cardinal news.

Its nice to see a little of what some members here do away from the boards.
