Abs?

PLA is just fine. If you heat led chips over 50C they loose like 50% of power.

Oh that's awesome! Thanks for letting me know. I don't have time to print things for money personally but I agree completely with Griz and thought it was a bit of a silly policy (although I did kind of understand their reasons).

@BantyRooster97 if you have the STL file then you may be able to find someone to print it out for you

A new print to share, sorry for the crappy pic...a shroud for my fuge light, a Kessil H160. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3560910

Used a 3d print to make a silicone mold for making frag plugs. Each mold is cranking out 100+ plugs a day

Made a vertical frag rack a few weeks ago, forgot to post it.

For the creality ender 3 and cr10 users, this aluminum extrusion hardware is $15 on Amazon and money well spent.

Great stuff GrizFyrFyter! A friend showed me a picture of your hanging frag rack a few days before you posted it here! Do you upload or share your STL files? I think my friend would love it if I printed the hanging rack for him.

I have been working on a Dosing line holder for my sump. This should fit on any smaller sizes aqueon tanks and I'm working on scaling up the clip portion to work on larger trimmed tanks as well. I like to dose my two parts to different areas of the sump and I felt like this would be a good way to keep them distant. I'll update this post with the STL when I get the final version complete in the next few days.

1/4" OD air line tubing fits through with just enough friction to keep it there snug.

Clipped into my dirty sump!

I've designed and printed a similar one

Very handy

I don't trust suction cups. They always fail after a few months.

Ive made a screw based one, if you want

. Works with glass up to 1/2” (though can easily change). The screw goes below the rim on a rimless tank- assuming small rim.

Today I am printing some custom-ordered power supply holders. Someone is doing a fancy orange color scheme

I put one on while I am assembling the printer. I don't even bother with the stock ones.

I had the one like you have and switched to using these:

Fantastic customer service as well. I had one missing a washer, they sent me an entire new kit.

I found one sort of like this on thingiverse. I wish I could draw well enough to get threads to work.

Do you post your .stl to thingiverse?

Hehe, if you are drawing, you are wasting your time.

Import a wing-screw from McMaster. Put the screw-body into your object that needs threads. Then cut out where they overlap

Takes about 1 minute!
