3D printing
last updated: 2025-04-04
I bought my first 3D printer in december 2014. It was a Felix 3.0. Since then I like to repair and create in 3D. Check also my FreeCAD page.

I had problems accepting the long heating up times and the poor possibilities for manual interaction with the new Felix 4.1 firmware. So I tried to change this with a new duet3 motherboard. |

| I had so many spare parts from my old Felix 3. So I built a second printer with also higher voltage and the cool duet3 motherboard. |

I have a dual extruder printer, but if I want to print e.g. 2 colors in different heights I don't use this feature, because it needs more plastic, and often soils the print with plastic trickling from the second extruder.

| With Simplify3D it's easy to create different settings for different regions of a model. For a 2 colour print with the colours white and red we create two processes and with this two g-code files. After the first print (1. process) is ready we can change manually the filament, and continue with the second print (2. process). |

We have 9 felixprinters at our school (9 x TEC 4.1). Often we forget to cut them from the power over weekend. We wanted a solution with a better manual interface, a camera to watch the print remotely and the possibility to switch them off remotely. Fortunately there is octoprint and octopi |
