3D Printed HuCard Case Development (NOW AVAILABLE!)

UPDATE 2/11/15: Print quality out of my new 3D printer is finally where I want it so one issue down - now I'm back to putting the finishing touches to the model and verifying that it fits correctly with the top case.....

Very nice! You will have to throw us some pics of the new machine at work.

Sweet, man that is awesome. I should make the move to 3d printer goodness with this tax return.

Ok, I eventually figured out this couldn't be the plastic try, but the plastic tab!

"Is he printing a clear jewel case lid? Why is it a rectangle? What is the scale of this thing?"



For some reason, my favorite part is the very end, where the two "male plugs" are printed.

Watching it print shouldn't be so entertaining, but I couldn't stop watching.

This is amazeballs. I'll take a case of em.

Might order a bunch of these. Very neat work !

Thanks guys!  Sorry I changed the thumbnail to say that it is the "HuCase Arm" being printed.

The HuCard case itself takes 2h45m to print so probably won't put up a making-of vid of it....

What resolution is that at? I mean if there's no major detail, can you run this at .2 or even .3 to save time?

What the Heck, I mean how, where is the extra plastic coming from. . I see it moving but what is it feeding from to create it. I'm so lost

Check out my other 3D print video (this is my older 3D printer but you can see where the plastic feeds into the print head

I might be able to print at .3 (currently optimized for .2mm).....will try it for fun to see how it turns out.

Yeah interested to know how it will turn out and at what speed.
