Biggest Marvin Ever Printed

i3D_3Dprinters · 2014-11-20T13:05:35.000Z

My printer Pivot Maker gets everything smaller!!!

This is the biggest and longest print I’ve ever made.
It took 180h of countinous printing 24h/24h.

Layer of printing is 0,5mm
nozzle diameter 1mm
quantity of PLA 13,8Kg
infill 3%
support material 25% of overhang
external perimeter 3 time
printing speed 50mm/s

Do you have anything big to print? Print it at my hub.

Cheers,

Marco

So cool! Never seen a print as huge as this. Which slicer software did you use?

i3D_3Dprinters · 2014-11-20T13:29:59.000Z

Hi !!

I used Slic3r …good slicing software.

Filemon · 2014-11-20T16:11:57.000Z

This is amazing! Favorite print of all time

i3D_3Dprinters · 2014-11-20T16:59:31.000Z

Thank you Filemon !!!

from an Idea to reality.

Amazing. What the total size of this? Where can someone purchase a PivotMaker at and for how much?

Simona · 2014-11-20T22:22:29.000Z

@I3d is the reseller of PivotMaker and the Hub who made the print. Sure he can answer all your question

i3D_3Dprinters · 2014-11-21T07:55:41.000Z

I love it. I love it. I love it.

Nice, congrats on printing the biggest Marvin yet!

gregh · 2014-11-21T14:39:20.000Z

Damn! That is incredible. IWOOT!

This is why I made this print:
First of all the marvin keychain is a great funny figure and symbol of the community of makers. Then is a great test for the printers, here you can find: bridges, half bridges, overhangs, etc.

Large format print shows much more difficulties than little ones. For example half bridges of little Marvin (nomal size) are just few mm long, in my big Marvin the bridges are long 6-7 cm. The main risk was to start “printing in the air”

The infill and the perimeter are calibrated to have excellent mechanical strength, low weight and the best possible finishing.
The simulation in these operations is essential, if you fail gcode, you lose material and time. As slicing software I used Slic3r.

Marvin has been realized without initial test print, only a test without filament for two days to calibrate the machine and the printing speed.

Finally my only goal was to test the capability of my PivotMaker for what concerns:
- printing time
- print finishing for the whole printing period,
- a good surface finishing on the big overhangs,
- behavior on internal bridges of 6-7 cm
180h is a great time to evaluate the reliability of the printer, but it is absolutely not acceptable for the industry.

Therefore the next target will be to reduce by four times the building time allowing PivotMaker to became a benchmark for large format printers.

I am very happy for this result and I am looking forward to creating more

Thank you again Simona, Filemon and all 3D Hubs friends
Cheers
