Preparing my little vessel for printing

     Today  I am going to try and prepare my little vessel for printing. It's so nice that Prusa is open source!

The tutorial for this week has a recorded transcript but no video, but I think I can do this pretty easily. (famous last words? hopefully not). With the other tutorial videos as well as the transcript (I am a fast reader) it should be all good. I even find the transcript more helpful than the video anyways sometimes.


But then I tried to import my stl file and slicer is saying (3mf/amf) and I am like, well that's rude.



Nevermind! I was looking at the wrong thing.




Overall it was pretty simple to import and change the settings. I can't remember what the infil pattern was set to in the beginning, but when I changed it to gyroid the print time went down ~10 minutes to 1hr39 minutes and the other patterns seemed similar so I will leave it at that.



Once I got to the lab, since I decided to test out my filament I bought, we turned the quality up.



Overall the printing went well and it looks sweet!

More fingers!

Okay I am here once again with hopefully the final prototype after creating a finger with a better range of motion. I tested out the finger ...
