"Good things come to those who wait." - Motivational 3D Printed Plaque

prusaprinters

<p>When moaning about how slow 3D printers are, a friend of mine said "Good things come to those who wait" and so I decided to turn it into a plaque to affix to my CR-10s to remind me to stay patient!</p> <p><strong>Scaling:</strong></p> <p>The model is about 200mm long, but I scaled it up slightly in Cura to be 220mm long (this is the one you can see in the pictures). As is, the model will print fine. You can probably scale it down, however make sure you double check in the layer view to make sure that there are no exceedingly thin spots that might disappear in the GCode.</p> <p><strong>Fixing to the Printer:</strong></p> <p>I was careful to ensure that the print was in the middle of the top extrusion, and then I marked each side. I then put a few small dots of super glue on the back face of the print so that it would stick, and pressed it into place - and it looks great!</p> <p><strong>Multi-Colour Printing for this Sign:</strong></p> <p>To achieve this look, I simply paused the printer when there was around 3-4 layers left on the print, pulled out the black material and inserted the orange. I then pressed resume.</p> <p>The result is awesome, there are a few minor gaps on the new colour layer, but this is just due to the new material taking a while to extrude properly.</p> <p>Any questions? Leave a comment!</p> <p>A .STEP file has been included so that you can edit the file yourself to add other hanging options if you desire.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Creality</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> CR-10S</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> Doesn't Matter</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 15%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prima Value PLA Orange &amp; Black</p>
