Thanks for the recommendation Prosperer

Other than Taulman Tech G filament, I can pay a visit to my filament supplier in Singapore for PETG filaments. They are selling 1 kg spools of PETG for SGD 80. Refer here: http://web.qwikfab.com/3D-Printer-Filament/Q-PETG-Filament . You could order from them directly but I recently they are busy with some projects so there will be some delay in shipping. If you order from them, let them know altan recommended them. Since I am making a trip to SG tonight, I could purchase a spool for you when I am there but I will charge an inconvenience fee. Let me know ASAP.

sorry for late reply
keep forgetting to take picture

Looks like it is printable, just need someone to design it and someone to 3D print it in ABS.

too bad you dont have 3d scan

If not i will just direct mail it to you for duplicate it ><

Actually I have a 3D scanner, its an Intel Realsense camera but it's only good for head scan. It can do object scans but if the object is small then a lot of fine features are missing. It's good for getting the general shape but any 3D scans will still require some form of editing. Currently not opening the scanning service to public yet.

I don't mind duplicating the part for you but there will be a long delay since currently my printer is heavily utilized and I am on a short business trip for the entire week.

Time not really an issue been searching part for few week

don't mind waiting longer

I can draw cad but i nvr draw 3d one

Time dig up the tutorial

Dam it been few year i didn't draw cad

having to design in 3D is one thing but have to consider designing the model for a 3D printing.

Stuff like this I would use solid modelling software like openscad or solidworks.

You might want to find some .scad files for gears at Thingiverse. It will really help speed things up when making gear parts.

No problem bro.

And here rough design i made for the gear,





and how do you made the attach pic small here

That is fast

As for your question, see post #10 in https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1403940/all

I tried BBcode for IMG resize buy don't seem to work.

Thanks for the link, it seems that i must resize the pictures on the hosting site before post the links here.

The gear was design in freecad, i also still learn how to use freecad and if it basic design i got no problem with it, yesterday my friend ask me to design for him tattoo machine frame with provided dimension and i think i did a good job with the 3d drawing and charging him for small fee also A360 Viewer

not bad. the gear teeth pitch would be the main issue. Cant clearly see the dimension for it. I dont know if you can do it in freecad or not, but you could learn a 3D drawing technique call parametric drawing. Allows you to change the dimensions for certain parts of the drawing and the whole design would be updated to accommodate it. Try to find a tutorial on it for Freecad. I only do drawing in Solidworks. Its one of those things that you never realize is a such a great thing!

the pressure angle of the gear teeth is 20 i think, and the gear teeth is 42. thanks for the info for the parametric drawing i'll sure do find tutorial about it, i didnt has any knowledge on 3d design before and after i bought 3d printer i really into 3d designing and fail alot also

Hi everyone, I just bought a few reels of PETG filament (black and white color) and if anyone wants to try a small sample you can PM me for it.

I am selling them for RM 15 per 50g, can request for larger amount.

COD at Tropicana City Mall or Poslaju for additional RM 6.

I will show you guys some PETG prints once I optimized my 3D printer for it.

Any benefit of PETG versus ABS or PLA?

PETG has higher working temp than PLA and does not warp compared to ABS. Apparently, it is claimed that it takes the best properties of both PLA and ABS while having high strength and flexibility.

You can read more about it by searching about Taulman Tech-G PETG filaments. There are some blogs and 3d news saying good things about it.

I heard it is easier to print like PLA as compared to nylon and ABS but I have not tried them yet since I just got the filaments yesterday. So, I can't comment further on a material I just got but I have seen really impressive samples made with PETG.

Only cons is the difficult support removal.

ooh. maybe soon. im working on a dual extruder setup for my prusa to allow soluble supports. Maybe then.

Using HIPS or PVA for soluble support?

PVA. HIPS solvent is way tooo expensive. Although many has said that PVA is hard to print with. But the logic since its a support material it wouldnt need to look nice when printed, just functional.

I have ideas of trying out dissolvable filaments but could not find a local supplier for both materials.

I don't know about printing in PVA but it is said PVA is really difficult to store due to the hygroscopic property, especially in our humid environment. Since support material not need to be nice but I wonder what the humidity can do to the material. Maybe it will cause the PVA to spit water vapour during prints.

It would be great support with PLA and Flexible filaments since they droop during prints. ABS bridging seems good without fan for me so I doubt it needs dissolvable support.

About storing filaments, I had issues with storing black ABS as it forms pores on the print surface due to water vapour. Apparently the black pigment is the cause as the pigment is hygroscopic. I have to bake the black ABS in an oven for a few hours just to improve the print quality.
