<p>I recently picked up the SWAG Offroad 20 ton heavy duty finger brake. and one of the things about 3d printing that I find most interesting is the ability to create durable items reasonably quick. The iterative design process, and the ability to make custom tools and parts</p> <p>So, After seeing what others have done with 3d printing press tooling, I knew I had to try my hand at it.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.4mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>90%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> HATCHBOX PLA Black</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Extruder temp 210<br/> Bed Temp 60 <p>Speed 175</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/76/19/02/21/57/20200621_115209.jpg"/></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/e7/54/fe/1c/e2/20200621_115940.jpg"/></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/6a/f3/e0/e7/05/20200621_120446.jpg"/></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/cc/e4/d8/9f/d9/20200621_121215.jpg"/></p> <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Print failed aftter 4 bends in 1/8" mild steel.
