3d Printer #1 is printing pretty nice

[Jerry Tice]

A big thanks to Ian for all the hard work he's put into getting printer #1 going.  I got some pretty nice prints today after going through some fine tuning with the setting in my KISSlicer.  Great precision. Now we will see how well that translates into cast metal parts.  

Thanks Again Ian!!

Nice. Now we need to get you to write up your print settings. ;)

No problem. I'll start writing a procedure.

Out of curiosity, what sorts of metals and do you do the casting yourself or have it done somewhere?

I mostly use a home brewed version of ZA12 (87% Zn, 12%Al and 1% Cu). But I have done some straight Al cast and a little bronze.  I plan to move up to cast iron but will have to upgrade my furnace to gas from its current charcoal. Here is a short viseo clip:

Good to know we have someone with some metal casting experience and tools... I may have some questions for you later.

Aric Siegle does some metal casting as well. He's not very active on here, but shows up to meetings periodically. I think most of his experience is Al.
