Great! Is this printed from ASA or which material did you use?

its all plain old PLA, as mentioned people underestimate its usefulness, im pushing 900W through that gearbox no problem, done thousands of km already.

How many parts did you print ?

 

[hwk2014]

Since Makita isn't offering separate boxes for P-83652 and it's also quite expensive to buy more than one, I've just designed and printed my own boxes to replace the blue and the large orange one with smaller ones to store more

Okay that is really cool! I know it's simple and they're cheap but it's so much fun to be able to make everything.
Kudos man.

Indeed they are expensive whe you buy them AND you can only buy all at once, but so I can decide which I need
So: save money and environment

Hay guys, I make 3d printed colectibles, Here's one:

How did you make it "waterproof"? I haven't dipped my toes into the 3d printing, and I am wondering if you simply print something like this, it will leak water, correct? Unless, you do some after-printing work like coating of some sort?

Thank you

Watering Can

I printed this small watering can for my wife's library/styudy room, for watering the plants she has in there. It's a perfect size. Something I'm very happy with!

y filament spools. I keep my rolls of filament in a drybox. It's a pain having to feed the filament back in when changing colurs. So this winds the filament back onto the roll. It's designed so that it will wind up the internal springs until they are tight. But if you keep using/feeding filament past that point, it just slips, like a clutch type mechanism, so that it doesn't overwind. It's a genious design, and I'm really happy with how they came out. It took a bit of tweaking to be able to print the springs cleanly. But having done that, my printer is now working better than ever!

In simple words: It's molten plastic hence when you each layer of plastic has a good adhesion to each other layer: it's waterproof

Wow, that's impressive! It's great that you were able to design and print your own boxes to fit your needs. It looks like you did a great job with the design and the final product looks really nice. Thanks for sharing your project with us!

Wow, that's great! Where did you learn that? Very cool boxes!

Thank you! Well, I worked with CAD during school, but most CAD tools nowadays are very easy to use and there are plenty of tutorials or documentation out there.

An iPhone case completed last weekend with pla plus filament.

Nice information. By following the steps we can save money also.
