Welcome Makers.
It is Revenge of the Fifth.
And we have an imperial inspired 3D print today that we're going to be going over
and it was incredibly and deceptively difficult to print.
And I'm going to be covering those reasons.
And more on today's makers match up
Yesterday
we showcased our rebel inspired grid affinity enclosure, and today
we're showcasing our imperial for revenge the fifth grid affinity enclosure.
Now, this almost got the best of me and I
it almost got the best of a number of different people.
We had some difficulty printing this 3D print,
and I'm going to give you the tips so you're more successful with this.
So let's take a look at what this box looks like.
So here we have an imperial
inspired infinity enclosure.
Hold up just one second before we get into this print.
I'm going to show you how many print failures we had.
And this thing took out my belt.
All right.
Back to the video.
And what's really cool about this is that this is entirely print in place.
Now, to open this you simply
move these to the side and it opens up.
If you want to raise it, you can put these
right underneath so it's really cool now.
This is the grid affinity system on the inside here.
But there are some SD card slots here.
You can use this like this or you can use Zack's infinity system on the inside.
Now, I use the USB one because I think this is really good use
of a USB container or just being able to hold the SD cards.
And it's something that I would really like on my desk.
Now, what I did here was just a little bit of rubbing buff to give it
this look where it looks dirty or old, like it's not brand new.
Now the 3D print quality,
you can see a lot of layer lines here.
It's because I actually used a point four to Layer Height
and also was trying to get this print out really quick because
for like the last two days I have been trying to get this to print,
but we ran into some problems with it and I want to show you where.
So when this prints, it prints just like this.
But this part right here
extends out and you can see the layer lines here.
So let me get a better look here
so you can see the layers and when this attached the build plate.
Now, the problem is that immediately goes off here to this chamfer
and the difficulty is that if you get any curling
here, even in filament, so if the filament curls,
but you've got like good adhesion here, what happens is this will curl up
and the nozzle can hit this off when it's printing the next layer.
And I had tried this about four different times.
I went with a very large layer height, which
makes it
look not as good a quality print as it could be.
So recognize the poor quality print.
But in order to make the timeline of this video,
I was literally printing this last night and luckily I got this to work.
But as you can see, this is really a cool print allows you
to put something inside here and also stands on its own.
I will probably leave it just like this on my desk with easy access to the SD card.
So it's a really creative print.
Now the patron version is a wider one, so you get more space in here
and you put more grid affinity in here and it doesn't have the SD card slot.
So if you're interested in that, check out the patron on page for that one.
But overall, I really am happy with this print.
I think the design team did a really great job on this.
