After he started onto Version 2... he started nailing down the dimensions and such following the clubs specifications.
At this time I downloaded and began printing the Dome in 1/4 pieces since I have a printer that can print that large now but wanted to see what the 1/4 piece version looked like...
All in all it came out fine.... I didn't like the amount of seams it was going to leave so then downloaded and printed the 1/3 piece version of the dome.
Took much longer to print these and days went by with re-adjusting the print because it would shift half way through the print.
I also learned that having supports is key to these angled prints.... :)
After a week of fiddling here we have 3 good pieces for the dome - still has seams.... however much better outcome. Andy asked me... if I have a large printer why not combine them and print as 1 unit.... I said risky as the print will take days and anything can happen - power loss and all.
I then began work on the skirt and bottom of the dome.... oh well ran out of filament... buy some more!
I am printing at .26mm with a 40% infill and 4800mm/s speed on the MPCNC... seems to be the sweet spot.
Skirt piece 1 of 3.... looking good
Skirt piece 2 of 3... even better...
