Re: Fallout 3: 3D Printed Power Armor Helmets
Thanks! And good to have another Taz owner on the board!
Yeah, Cura let me down, but I can't knock it completely. I've got some good prints off with it. But, that whole "let's just stop working out of nowhere" jazz just won't cut it for these long prints. I'd recommend it to people who print smaller, though. Honestly, I am in love with Simplify3d. Worth every penny.
One neat little feature I'm using right now as a matter of fact, you can set the support material infill to different settings throughout the print. I'm starting the first half of my support material at a lower density, then increasing it towards the top, where it's actually needed. This should save me both a little time, and some filament. A very handy feature indeed.
And, of course, just the way it slices and handles rather large stl's is quite impressive. I highly recommend any Taz owner to consider this very powerful software.
Oh, and those are indeed some Dragon Priest masks you see! I have a build thread for them, you should check it out. Almost done with my new Konahrik masks. :thumbsup
Sooooooooooooooo dope! Did I also see some Skyrim Dragon Priest helmets? Very cool! Oh and hello fellow Taz user Cura made me... angry isn't the right word, though wasn't impressed and switched back to Pronterface and Slic3r as well. Anywho, these look DOPE!
