That&#8217;ll take 12 days just to get to the bare minimum to run the machine. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s has been taking nearly 4 hours to print a flange so not much more productive than casting resin. However, with a few tweaks to the flange design I can reduce the print time to about half.  This makes it possible to print multiple flanges per day even if I have to work. <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"gt3pg_gallery3\" class=\"gt3pg_galleryid-448 gt3pg_gallery-columns-3 gt3pg_photo_gallery gt3pg-corner-type-standard gt3pg_hover-default gt3pg-type-masonry\" data-size=\"thumbnail\" data-type=\"masonry\" data-corner=\"standard\" data-link=\"lightbox\" data-margin=\"30\" data-instance=\"3\"><figure class=\"gt3pg_gallery-item gt3pg_element\"><div class=\"gt3pg_item_main_wrapper\"><div class=\"gt3pg_item-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SpoolFlanges-768x1240.png\" class=\"gt3pg_swipebox \" data-description=\"\"><div class=\"gt3pg_img_wrap \" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SpoolFlanges-768x1240.png);\" data-width=\"1080\" data-height=\"1744\" data-i=\"1\" >\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/startup.twistedjute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SpoolFlanges-768x1240.png\" title=\"SpoolFlanges\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/div><\/a>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n <style type='text\/css'>\r\n\t\t\t#gt3pg_gallery3 .gt3pg_item_main_wrapper {\r\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 15px\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Between casting and printing I should be able to make enough flanges within a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally I&#8217;ve printed a number of 3D printer upgrades which should help achieve more consistent and higher quality prints which may allow the print speed to be turned up a little. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it seems that most of the printer difficulties are resolved.
