Acetone Vapor Forming Bency

thingiverse

This is a test you can print out to place in your method of Acetone Vapor forming to make an object look more injection molded rather than that stepped line effect. Vapor forming can make your objects stronger once they have rested for a while too! Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .25mm Infill: Higher the better Notes: I've designed this to not need supports or a raft. This is what I printed it at: 100% infill, 45mm X, and it was a 1hour 45min print at .25mm layer height - not bad. If you are using Simplify3D, I've been testing it with a scale of 2405.75% and 23.5mm Z Offset. When slicing this to print, be sure to re-position the base and move it down a tad so it is flat at the bottom. When it's a high infill, warping is less of a worry. People with enclosures, ignore my tips here and print however you want! Above all, just make sure that base is solid. Post-Printing Do the acetone vapor forming thing! Either in a tin can on your heat bed for a bit, outside with rags in a jar, or in a slow cooker (disclaimer: Acetone is dangerous, please watch a guide on how to do it properly), and figure out what method works best for you. Please post images if you get it to work! How I Designed This I used Oculus Medium to place down four 20mm cubes, then added detail to each one of them to test a different style of printing - slopes, detailed cracks, and basic overhangs. Medium made it quick to iterate on ideas, so I was able to make changes fast.
