Printing Done

A project log for DEC Precision CRT Display Type 30 Reproduction

Obsolescence Guaranteed just released their new PiDP-1 Replica. While I wait for mine I thought I would make a 2:3 scale Type 30 Display.

In total all the parts took 60 hours to print. For now I'm done setting my alarm for 3:00 AM in order to kick off the next print.

When I do a large sized project like this I keep wishing I had one of Ivan Miranda's large format printers. In making due with what I have though I have gotten better over the years at creating pieces that can be easily bolted together (my early projects often involved a lot of gluing).

For these I used my Prusa MK3S+. I also just got  Bambu A1 MINI. Actually the logo and other smaller pieces were done on the A1 with AMS.
