Description

INTRODUCTION

Since I launched HULA, I have gotten numerous naysayers commenting that I don't know what I am doing and that my designs are goofy—introducing OctoRocket, a test print to see if all those printer movements by HULA can cause print failure to tall, thin, overhanging prints. Overhang angles range from 35-45°.

 

To make it more challenging, I have also designed an upside-down version, with a build plate contact area of 8mm diameter.

 

I am using the stock speed setting on Bambu Lab with some minor adjustments. My print on the A1 mini came out successful. Do note that my filament Flow Rate and Dynamic Flow (K) settings are properly calibrated.

 

FILAMENT

I used Bambu Lab Nebulae Galaxy PLA for this print. My pictures above do not justify this beautiful filament. It's available on the Bambu store. (NOT afflink) https://store.bambulab.com/products/pla-galaxy

 

 

EPILOGUE

HULA's approach to dampening is very different from that of other designs. It allows the printer to move, but dampens/burns out the movement. This reduces the inertia forces produced by the toolhead and moving build plate. Theoretically, it reduces forces on the printer and prints. This test is not exhaustive, and I try my best to do due diligence.

 

This does not mean that other methods of dampening are inefficient. HULA is just different. It may be difficult for some to comprehend especially the diehard concrete pavers. But as the Cloud Ninja, I cannot allow my mind to be clouded with cement. Ultimately, I design things for the 3DP community because I enjoy it and want to keep improving.

3D Printer: Bambu Labs A1 combo It would not add any supports so I wanted it to succeed. I used Matter Hackers bright green filament I have had good luck with this. OH and I scaled it to 150% I am so mad that this print failed! I was printing the one with it standing on the legs and just as it was starting to close all the legs together it knocked the front left leg off the plate and was printing crap!! Not sure why it messed up! Robin Holden Sr I finally did it!
