InnovationByLayers – you rule. Thank you for modeling and posting this. I’ve really wanted to print out a TARDIS and a Dalek. I downloaded the file, ran it through Skeinforge, and started printing away.
1 hour and 8 minutes later:
TARDIS
I am very happy with this print. You can see some very minor vertical variation in the model, which is quite exaggerated by the photographic angle, but it’s probably about 0.33mm or so. The variation is barely noticeable. I suspect I could get better resolution if all four of my Z axis threaded rods were straighter, but I also think my time/effort is probably better spent dialing into the correct Skeinforge settings.
Wow… very nice!!! Is there a little bit of plastruder wobble due to the Z axis threaded rods?
Yeah, unfortunately there is a slight wobble to the Z axis rods. However, to put this in perspective – the entire model is about 5cm tall and the wobble is probably on the order of .3-.4 in any direction.
