GGalapagon replysh.itjust.worksSit on it Cook with it Use it as a jack stand... I feel like my list is endless and yours is limited2
Flaky_Fish69 kbin.social1Hide 1 replyhow much weight can that thing hold? I wonder if you could make a decent end table for supporting a reading lamp, or something. Maybe print the base as solid and flip it upside down? either way, I find that to be impressive!3
pp1mrx replylemmy.worldI tried putting a 1kg box on the 240mm tower, and it buckled. So the limit is a bit less than that. My goal was "just barely printable", so you could install OpenSCAD and increase the thickness = 1.2 value to support more weight.2
JJohnDClay sh.itjust.worksThat looks like the mother of all torture tests. Good on your printer for printing it at all!2
AApepollo11 lemmy.worldYikes just looking at that! My extruder would have ground that filament down to dust with amount of back and forth that must have been necessary.1

How.... how long did that take to print??
Around 6 hours. The 120mm version was 1-2 hours.
Ok, but now what do you do with it?
It's a big fragile hyperboloid. What don't you do with it?
