For this week I'm running my Astrolabe Ornament for free.

I couldn't do the work I do without Simplify3D.
Print this puppy for your friends and neighbors.

awesome don! thanks a bunch. i just downloaded it.
Re: Merry Christmas!
Thanks, I've been looking at that one for a while. Just downloaded it and purchased the Curiosity model as well to support your work.
ETA: I had a minor problem with the Curiosity model; sent you a message via your website.

Re: Merry Christmas!
Thanks for your input folks.
Dsegel, I think you were the person who asked about the curiosity. Yes, some of my models have some small 'issues' that result in flipped polygons. Often is is a duplicated line or something. This would be an issue if I was printing with supports, since the program couldn't define the area to put the supports. But it will print just fine. On the rare occasion that I build a model that needs supports, I pay a LOT of attention to make sure it works fine. Thanks for your input!

Re: Merry Christmas!
Hi,
with the Christmas I finally found what about even my wife likes it and wants more.
The astrolabe of Don's been great ..... thanks
On this I have the same time the Golden PLA used by iGo3D.
Well, the correct settings, I have not found yet. To print the filament at the same speed as I was used to it I must 10 ° C warmer at 220 ° C 0.15mm layer height, 43mm / s with a 0.5 mm nozzle print, and yet it is somehow a little pixelization occurs, but I'm still there and just running a second astrolabe.
Greetings Edwin

Re: Merry Christmas!
Edwin,
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
I found that printing this thing slowly helps with all the little detail. I print mine in PLA at 205° at 0.10 mm layer height and 1500 mm/minute. It takes longer, but it's going to print all night anyway, so no reason to rush.

Re: Merry Christmas!
Hi Don,
the result is far probably only because of the filament so concluded. If I use a familiar to me I get quite adere surfaces and at higher speed and lower temperature.
When I print with this filament 205 ° C crumbles only, alas when I print very slowly.
I have therefore now times a pressure with ABS begun, which produces much nicer surfaces. I wil then like you are simply painting it. The Golden filament does not like anyway from gold and I would have had to painting it.

Re: Merry Christmas!
Hi Don,
I now have printed it once with ABS and a filament that I know
0.15 Layer Height and 40mm / s on a glass plate coated with UHU glue stick and 70 ° C
This surface can PLA also print on a cold bed if you previously dry the glue stick with a hair dryer and it holds about 20 prints. From tape I'm long gone.
There are still a few places that you can do better, but 10 minutes rework and assembly.
And here then painted.

Re: Merry Christmas!
How impressive. Beautiful model from design and print from Edwin. Edwin's wife is going to be very happy, indeed.
