Experimenting with using three layers of clear PETG as a snug support interface for horizontal overhangs on a PLA print. The result is supports that peel off like a slice of bread and reveal a fantastic surface. The few flaws could probably be cleaned up by printing slower and drying my PETG a bit longer.
Adjacent layers of the two plastics do not bond at all, so I’m finding it only works reliably with larger surface areas (with small interfaces the PETG would often come loose).
Designed a semi-automatic fish tank water changer yesterday using two USB bird bath pumps I had laying around. Mounts on the side of our small tank with one pump sending dirty water to one side of a bucket and a second one that refills afterward with temp-adjusted conditioned water from the other side. Tube routing was a fun touch.
It’s quite satisfying when a v1 design tossed together in <1 hour on an iPad + Shapr3D just works (some of the credit goes to the Bambu A1’s dimensional accuracy).
