Open RC. Great project. Runs well. 3D printed tires were hardes to print with a flexible filament. Finally got the under extrusion right to give them some squish. Grip is poor compared to bought tires nach.

Personally i would not risk printing something like that with my printer atm, as it would have to be pretty tuff, as it going to get quite a bit stick. But sure someone might be able to help

It's designed to have a pole inserted and obviously that will put strain at the top, I have no experience with filament (or 3D printing for that matter) so no idea how durable it is or if there's a more durable type?

Any recommendations on a beginner (but decent) 3D printer? Would love to print board games, like the 3D Catan boards on Etsy et al, and also might be useful at work for film accessories and spare parts and such (will be buying it through the business anyway).

You may be wanting to spend more but if not creality ender 3 has been good to me and people generally have a good experience with them

Finished my new printer.

It's a CoreXY designed by Ben Levi with a few modifications designed by me: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3382718

Specs:

320x320x365mm build volume
Misumi 2040 and 2020 extrusions
HiWin MGN12 rails
Magnetic removable bed
0.9 degree steppers for X and Y, 1.8 degree for Z and E
Duet2 Wifi mainboard with PanelDue 5i
Raspberry Pi A+ for monitoring and webcam
Dual PSUs (24V and 12+5V)
Tasmota controlled Sonoff power switch
Bondtech BMG clone extruder
E3D V6 hotend

All printed parts done on my MGN12 based cartesian (220x220x200) and my AM8 (220x220x200).
All structural parts printed at 90% infill PETG
Vanity parts in Esun PLA+

I started the build at Christmas and finished it yesterday. I've only printed a few calibration tests so far but they have turned out great with pretty much no tuning.

I was given a i3 Duplicator Plus at Christmas.

I now have these printers:
i3 Duplicator Plus
Anycubic i3 Mega S
Geeetech MeCreator2

And... One I picked up for free last week as it was broken. Fixed it and it's working now.

It's a Raise3D N2. Massive machine...!
It required:
- 3* TMC 2208 stepper drivers
- cleaning....
- White lithium grease
- £14 screen with built in SD card slot off amazon..

Unfortunately I can't update it from marlin 1.1.1 as the USB connection requires a Baud rate of 230400 and my PC won't let me set it to read that... So just using 1.1.1 and printing via SD.

I've become a little obsessed...
