why?
Bad news, printing hasn't started.. something wrong with the pieces being too small

Awww... estimate of when they WILL be printed?

 

[Ltsurge]

i dunno...
is 57mm standard 3x3 size?

 

[cubernya]

Yes...

 

[collinbxyz]

I like 56mm though... But either is fine

 

[Cubenovice]

Hmm... Pieces to small seems highly unlikely. Perhaps he means you have some details that are too small to be proeprly printed.

Did you check if your 3D models are "watertight"?
That could be another reason pieces will not print but I suppose your friend would have informed you to correct the models.

What's you friend's company?

 

[collinbxyz]

Any of the pieces printed yet?

 

[collinbxyz]

bump...

 

[JackJ]

Dude, calm down. I'm excited to see how this turns out as well but it almost seems as your nagging him to get it done.

That's exactly what I'm doing...

But I completely agree that I shouldn't be doing this.

He works at a school, at the design tech part
its got tons of cool machines and that... He's not that experienced at using the 3d printer though... I'll see what we can do though from here

@collinbxyz :fp

I suppose I should update y'all on the progress of the cube.
My friend has all the pieces uploaded onto the machine...what has happened was the machine scaled down the model by 10 sizes ! so everything was 10 times smaller. He had to adjust the ratio so that it was 10x the size. So now all he has to do is arrange the pieces to waste as little material as possible and the PRINTING can begin

 

[Shamankian]

Omnomnom Awesome It's really cool that you actually are going through with this! Post pics, when you get them pwease.

 

[cubernya]

Yayy! So it should be done printing tomorrow, correct?

 

[Ltsurge]

Umm dunno could be longer he's really busy

 

[Ltsurge]

ITS BEEN PRINTED
PIECES UPLOADED SOON (PICS)

bad news the printer screwed most of the (EDIT pieces) up
good news it finally printed (and I got my lubix zhanchi on friday !!!)

 

[collinbxyz]

Is it only the single pieces printer so far then (Like one edge, one corner, etc.)?

 

[Ltsurge]

yes but its probably a good thing because all the pieces screwed up some way or another

 

[cubernya]

Ah well at least you got the general thing printed
