/diy/ - Do It Yourself

ill check out perfboard as well. And looking into rafts, i hear its only necessary for things that dont have a natural big print base. Like statues with bases dont need rafts, but do need skirts. Statues without bases need rafts though. I will be experimenting with it though. Most of what I am going to print will be /tg/ related stuff, like wargames terrain and dungeon tiles and stuff.

Interesting. I saw somewhere that switching to a better PSU is only necessary when printing with ABS to handle the hotter temps. But if it's necessary for even PLA I will look into it.

Interesting suggestion with oiling the nozzle. Could that cause issues in the hot end?

I should mention I do plan on making an acrylic enclosure to keep dust off the printer and filament.As far as I know dust can accumulate in the hot end and create clogs.

I honestly see no need to. I'm not making mechanical parts or really functioning parts. It's all going to making scenery and stuff for tabletop wargames and roleplaying games. So everything will get painted at least with acrylics. The 3d printing, while should be looked at as a hobby in of itself, is really the secondary to my main hobby of /tg/
