more 3D prints

below are some of the 3d prints i did for people who contacted me.
Most are my designs(from solidworks), some are from thingiverse.com.

My development, a gopro clicker, reinforced design, tolerances apropriate for 3d printing
the difference

offcourse it is interchangable with the original


servoarm and rudder shaft support for fila#89
130mm extension for gopros, printed with 100% infill

layer thickness here is 0.2mm for fast printing


gopro frame from thingiverse on a custom mount to slide into the universal dslr flash mount

0.2mm layer again

fittment tested on this olympus, canon 5d and nikon d90 fits perfectly!


this is a samsung galaxy mount combined with the dslr flash adaptor

no clue why the client wanted to attach the gopro and the galaxy to the dslr..

drift-trike wheel, but the nozzle got clogged

gps case for a Naza controled hexacopter
mk1 parts for the helmet swing mount
 I decided stop using 0.2mm layer thickness as the surface finish is much worse compared to 0.15 or 0.1mm layer height.
So from now on i only use those two layer heights for components that don't require a very good surface finish.
0.1mm layer bmw e36 jacking "mushrooms" they hold the cars 1250kg no problem
foglight delete plate for the bmw


vw bus, needs cleaning up

printed this and stuck it to the cealing with hot glue, thingiverse search: cute octo

this artistic piece was printed at 0.1mm layer thicknes


it took 21hours to print, the detail is good

The ultimaker is back up and running. I had only a 4 hour break in the past 4 days, and is still going strong, below are pictures of some parts printed lately.

i think this is a hip, left one abs 0.15mm layer height, right pla 0.07mm l.h.

some mistakes appeared but that will sand out

aheesion problems, this will sand out too

Ultimaker finally running!

Finally two ultimaker nozzels arrived at my door.
This post is a negative critique.
Firstly why is postage across europe for these two things 15€??
I've send 10times heavier letters to the USA and postage was below 10€

Secondly, i understand that it is expensive and hard to make a nozzle for ultimaker2 out of a single piece of brass.
But it does not cost 70€ !?!  nozzles are waste material, after some time one has to change it.

The above is the reason why i have ordered one ultimaker2 nozzle and one ultimaker1 nozzle.
I have modified the printer to use the old nozzle of which i can get cheap chinese remakes.(3 cost like 10€ not 15€ like the one original)
old mk2 nozzle on the right, new one left, unmodified mk1 nozzle far right in the bag
New expensive mk2 nozzle on the right with it's adapter, new mk1 modified nozzle on the left, the heater block is a reworked old nozzle, the adapter is original one with m6 standard thread cut over the fine m6 thread.(stupid but works)
Right  the new adapter, true to the original, with fine m6 thread

Mk2 left, custom mk1 right
Mk2 is set aside, at the moment mk1 nozzle is printimng there is alittle leak but some teflon tape should  fix that.
a multi wii mout for a hexacopter, first part after re-nozzeling

So far so good.
The printer has plenty of orders to finish, so it will run for the next few days non stop. We will se what brakes, well that thing needs fixing/improving.

In the mean time a set of remake nozzles are beeing shipped from hongkong.

I will have another adapter made, this time with a standard m6 thread to fit the new nozzles without leaks or teflon.

I would recomend this modification to all ultimaker 2 users.
It must be said that ultimaker has great technical support, high quality material and excellent printers, BUT there is no reason for such overpriced spares.
If the economists at ultimaker thought that people who do 3D printing are not capable DIY masters they were wrong. :D

Gtfo, ultimaker mishap

Yesterday the printer was printing some simple parts, one got separated from the build plate.
The sucker stuck to the nozzle, the filament path was blocked, pressure build up, and the filament burst from the back of the nozzle(where the filament goes into the nozzle).
Ok my mistake, i was not at home, my father did not see what happened, and some material got wasted.
Luckily nothing got damaged.
I removed the head, boiled it in water and broke the material of.
Then i cleaned the nozzle with a drill bit so it won't get clugged. 
The printer is now back together and running.
