micro handle repair with storm Mando helmet low poly

thingiverse

see for the thing part helmet https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4754606 I keep on doing my quest of making star wars related mash up micro grip handle as replacement part. to be printed in tpu. I almost achieved it yesterday but I had an issue with a tpu filament with inconsistent diameter. the helmethelmet was printed to the half... sadly.. I can share with you my experience with my newly aquired easythreed x3 with hot bed which I was able to run using repetier host for printing with online printing and slicing the model in prusa slicer. I will add the 3mf file for those that are interested later on. It was necessary to download the usb driver usb-ch341-driver to enable the communication between repetier and the hardware. so As I noticed the printbed sheet is sticking to much to tpu. so I needed to make my famous cheat: gluing a piece of paper on the bed with white glue stick. TPU stick on it very well as other plastic and can be torn away easily. putting the sheetinto water and brushing the paper away works well! However many failed Print because of fatal error: thermal runnaway. it is in a very cold room.. maybe this is the issue there. the trick with paper as sacrificial layer is very good and cheap!
