Closed Amiga 4000T tower stands

[RetroPanic]

Looking for a Amiga 4000T tower stands? NOS or 3D Printed, offers pls

if you can find anyone to take photos of all sides of them and measurements i could design and print them for ya if you don't find the originals

 

[Bliss]

@RetroPanic well i got some good news and maybe not so good news

I found some drawings for the stands but printing time per foot is approx 50 hours.

So yes it could be done, but 100 hours of pure printing (if nothing went wrong) would not be cheap at all to do.

[Bliss]

yes but obviously would need to check sizes with his machine

 

[Bliss]

it certainly would be no fun printing them though

I printed a set of these for Chris Edwards, will see if he has some picts. I did so like 75%infull and they were heavy!
Like 260 grams each if I remember and 15 hours each foot, it wasn't too bad.

@blindguy what slicer did you use to get those sort of times and what kind of speed? as i am using Simplify 3d and i only said 50% infill and it was like 43 hours each. using a FDM printer.

 

[Bliss]

i have not tried it in fusion 360, perhaps that would be better. im all up for learning how to print faster if you have any tips

 

[Bliss]

@blindguy I just checked again in Simplify 3d that was on high resolution, i can get it down to :- 357g and 38 hours still at 50% infill. im looking forward to learning how to do them in 15

I also got a .6 nozel on my 400x400, do you have a .6 you can swap out the .4?
Infill 75% - Cura draft quality - .6 - it sez 16 hours and 467 gram of PLA - I was off a little, bad memory.

Thank you, i put it on fast and got mine down to 20 hours. But i am using a .4 nozzle, i was only watching some videos on about people using .6 for faster printing, are the prints good?

 

[blindguy]

@Bliss I tried a .8 and that was FAST but i did lose some of the details. With the .6 I mainly print larger things and the details seem ok. I have a .4 on my smaller printers and use them for details. For something like this there are not a lot of details so you will be fine.
.
I dont know what the fast setting you are using but I suggest that if your going to try and push the PLA thru faster you may want to bump up the temp a few.
Maybe do a few benchy tests first to create a baseline.
