Dissolvable Support Gearbox Test Success!

Newer Older

There's still some PVA goop inside that hasn't dissolved, however the gears work!

Printed all at once as one piece using a MakerBot Thing-o-Matic with dual mk7 extruders using PVA for support and PLA for the model at 0.3 layer height, both extruded at 210c and HBP set to 40c on blue painters tape.

    Hurray! First water soluble DIY printer print? (Successful that is!)

    Awesome work. Good to know that PVA sticks to PLA and vice versa.

    Congrats! That is a good reason for upgrading to dual extruder.
