Between classes, we went to GCAD to see how our print was doing. It failed, so we printed again. It failed again. However, there are a few pieces that seem okay to use, such as the base of the chassis and two parts of the steering. We reprinted the things that didn’t print out right in the downstairs printer, and it worked. We sanded the pieces that we are going to use to make them smoother. We started printing the rest of the pieces and we are basically done printing the pieces. Next time, we are excited to start printing on the Voltera!
Keep pushing forward; you're making great progress
It’s frustrating when prints keep failing, but I like how you didn’t give up and found a way to make it work. It’s smart that you used the parts that were still good and switched printers. Sounds like you’re really close to finishing—can’t wait to see how the Voltera printing goes!
what specifically are the reasons that a print fails? im not very acquainted with these printers.
How's the steering going? I feel like the steering looks a bit short...
That has happend to me too. Usually just a clog and just need a thin metal needle, but the pieces look good and I'm excited to see a final project.
