Crysis 2/3 - Gauss Rifle

thingiverse

It looks like you've been working on a 3D printing project to create a replica of a rifle from a video game. You've encountered some issues with the print quality, specifically with the tenth part of the model, which had a partially empty layer and required some compromises in order to make it work. You spent over four hours trying to get the print perfect but ultimately decided to upload two different versions of the file, each with its own set of problems. You recommend dropping the model down one layer to improve adhesion and suggest changing your nozzle regularly, especially if you're printing with white filament which can wear out the nozzle quickly. You've also been working on gluing all the pieces together, but unfortunately, the final product is slightly crooked due to an uneven axis. Despite this, you're making progress and have even added some details such as paint jobs and drybrushing. Overall, it seems like your project has been a bit of a challenge, but you're determined to see it through to completion. You've even designed a magazine for the rifle and are looking forward to adding a scope to complete the model. As for the 500kB file size limit on image uploads, you're not alone in your frustration! Many people have complained about this limitation, so it's good that you mentioned it. Here are some possible answers to your questions: 1. What nozzle wear issues did you experience while printing with white filament? Answer: You mentioned that the nozzle was worn out after printing over 3.5kg of filament, especially since the white filament contained titanium dioxide which increased wear. 2. How long did it take for all the parts to finish printing? Answer: It took about 1.3kg of filament and 102cm of print length in total, with the last part taking a while to complete. 3. What kind of challenges have you faced while gluing the pieces together? Answer: You mentioned that the final product is slightly crooked due to an uneven axis, but it's not too noticeable unless you look directly down the barrel. 4. What's next for your project? Answer: You plan on completing the paint job and adding a scope to the model, as well as building a case for the rifle.
