My winter projects this year seem to be based around the brilliant ANET A6 3D printer – especially as we’re not getting any clear nights.
Here you can see three recent prints all using Amazon Basics pearly white 1.75mm PLA at a resolution of 0.2mm and 100% fill density.
From the left we have a Sierpinsky Pyramid, 180mm along a base side and a print time of 75.5 hours. In the middle is a Roman Surface with a print time of 51.5 hours, and on the right is a Mandelbulb with a print time of 54 hours. These are mega-long print times, carried out to perfection on what the snobs of the 3D-printing world call a potato.
Like all the images you see on the New Forest Observatory, all the 3D prints are also for sale, so do enquire if you would like one. However, please be warned that those excessive print times means that none of these 3D prints comes cheap 🙂
