Started to print the Thor upper part I have found created by Sepio: https://hackaday.io/project/26341-building-and-improving-the-thor-robot-arm/log/70087-day-18-redesign-of-art3-and-art4

I needed to reprint the part because I need cooling, and it is a great way to test NGEN how it performs with bigger objects.

I like Sepio's upper part, it looks easier to assemble and has a fan included to cool the upper part.

The Art 3 lower body. 0.3 mm layer heights, Simplify3D estimated this a 7H job but it turned out to be 8H45. You can see the support structures that actually came off very easily.

Inner part of Art 3 lower body.

The day before I tested 3 different materials I received on Friday.

I started with the part that guaranteed failed every single time I used ABS.

• Black = ColorFabb_HT (€ 45/700 gr,)
• Red = ColorFabb_XT (€ 40/700 gr)
• White = ColroFabb NGEN (€ 35/700 gr)

All 3 jobs are 2 hours printing.

That test concluded me to go for NGEN when I print parts for Thor.
