I really like this bracket, it's so simple, and so effectively matches to my MG Prusa. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13343
I was amazed at how .1mm layer height looks. The natural PLA came out almost clear looking. It printed great until I got to the small, tower bits. Then the print completely fell apart. Printing too fast, there isn't enough cool time for the PLA to set, so it's still all rubbery when the next layer is put down, so it just flexes all over the place and looks terrible.
I ended up printing 2 copies of this part. The first one I ziptied onto my printer so I could print the 2nd one. The 2nd one is much better than the first. I almost have my cooling settings right. Maybe adding 2 fans, or trying a higher powered one would be the answer. Things to try in the near future.
Common Settings
Makergear Prusa Mendel
Sic3r.7 Pronterface.7
1.75mm PLA @ 170c extrusion, 60c blue tape on glass on heated bed.
0.1mm layer height with .35mm nozzle
Retraction 2mm @15mm/s w/ .25 z lift
First Print unique settings
Cooling default settings using restrictive cone cooler nozzle
– min print speed 10mm/s
print speed default settings
– small perimeters 30mm/s
2nd print unique settings
changed cooling setting
– min print speed 5mm/s
changed print speed settings
– small perimeters 20mm/s
0.1mm layer height fan brackets. The ring section looks really good. The part that sticks up from the rings looks terrible from being too warm when the next layer is added.

Whenever you want! If your local, come on by. Not sure if it would be a #FVCP type item or not… I was thinking about bringing it to ETC some night as well.

I've had my head in my printer so deep the last couple of weeks, i doubt I could pull anything together that would be worthwhile.
Unless you all wanted to see a 3d printer in operation…

that would be kind of a pain to bring, wouldn't it? but thanks anyway 🙂

Should I print a bunch of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4232 with the FVCP logo on it? Can I have permission to use the logo in this fashion?

we don't have to print one for everyone…while that is very nice, we can certainly just hand a few as a raffle type thing

That's good, as I was struggling last night.
