First non-printer part printed on my MK3

The articulation on this model is incredible since every joint moves.

Really nice print. I'm happy to see images of quality prints coming from the MK3, I think we need to see more of them.

What settings/filament did you use? Curious what's modified vs. stock. Great print!

PLA, 0.15, 10% infill. Is that what you want?

Curious how long something like that takes to print.

Hi Jtx it's amazing how beautiful it is !

It mean that you fix your issue that you were describing under the post "MK3 poor print quality" ?
May I know how you did still get stuck is the new firmware and driver that fixed it ?

Thanks !

Took me a few days for various reasons. I swung for the fences and plated the whole thing. Calculated 25 hours to print. How do you think that turned out? My advice is never do this:

Always one piece will fail catastrophically and take out most of it, burning a lot of filament and time. I got about 80% yield on Trex but still find it a bad strategy. Not sure why I tried here. So I ended up doing small batches which is better because you can monitor and tweak as you go. Every model has unique challenges.

It came out pretty well. Still a few issues if you look close. Organic shapes can be more forgiving. The new sw helped some as well. Definitely improving.
