EconoFil™ Standard PLA Filament

Have had the two spools of EconoFil standard PLA in black > here from Filaments.ca sitting in a box since July (2022).  Now that I have used up all the other filament, it is time to try this one out.  Not to sure if I will need to change any of the setting in the slicer.  So going to print something small first.  If that does ok.  Have a bunch of projects planned.

PLA And Wood Filler

Am still working on the Robocop statue, > here at Printables.com.  Have most of the parts glued together now.  But before that finished need to fill some gaps.  Have seen videos of people using wood filler to do this will PLA.  Picked up a small tub.  First off this has a very strong smell.  So make use you have some windows open when using it.  Did some of the bigger gaps.  It was simple to use but at pain at the same.  Going to let it dry over night.  Will be back with an update if it turned ok, or not.

EconoFil™ Standard PLA Filament Arrived

The EconFil standard PLA in black > here from Filaments.ca arrived in the mail on (July 18, 2022.)  Took about a week to get here.  Which is not too bad but it still cost me $22.00 in shipping.  Back in November (2021) the cheap shipping was $17.00.  Not sure how quickly I will be getting to use this PLA since I just open the last roll of the other PLA I had.  Just hope this stuff is just as good or better.

EconoFil™ Standard PLA Filament

Have decided on the next PLA filament from, Filaments.ca I am going to buy.  it is EconFil standard PLA in black > here.  Went though all the PLA they offer and this one had the best price point.   All so this past weekend (July 9, 2022) they were running a 20% off sale with a coupon code they emailed.  So ordered two rolls.

[Update]  It has been shipped.  My guess it might be here by the end of the week.

PLA Filament

It was back in October (2021) that I ordered some PLA filament from, Filaments.ca.  Bought two rolls of this one > here.   A few days ago the first roll ran out so opened the second up.  Want to order more to have on hand.   Have been happy with it but sadly this one is still out of stock.  So looking at some other brands from the same website.  For course they those other rolls are more money.  Will be back with an update once I decided on which one to get.

Low Poly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Update

Back in November (2021) 3D printed some low poly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, these files > here.   Scaled them up 300% and the turned out awesome.  Want to paint them put the weather had turned a bit too cold to prime.  Well the other day (January 6, 2022) the temperature it about 8c so decided to give them a priming any way.  Left them on the shed over night because of the smell.  The next day brag them inside to see if they would dry.  It seemed to have worked.  Now I can start to paint them.  Will be back with more updates along the way.

Low Poly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Had lots of fun printing and painting the Low Poly Hulk model.  Decided to see what other cool low poly models are out there.  When is seen someone made Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I just had to do that next.  Printed Leo off first at the size the STL file was.  It was pretty small. So, scaled it up 300%, that will make it much better to paint and display.  After printed the other three turtles.  They all took bit over five hours to print.  Wanted to prime them but it is November now.  Meaning the weather is not so great.  If not, am not sure how will paint will stick to the PLA.  Might have to test that out.  As for the models you can download them yourself > here.

Low Poly Hulk Done

Made a few posts all ready talking about the Low Poly Hulk model form youmagine.com > here.   3D printed it in black PLA.  The prime it in grey.  After that painted it.  It took three coats of green.  Two for the purple and just one for the black.  After I finished painting it.  Had to do a few touch ups with my hand wobbled.  As you can see the picture below.  I think it turned out great.  My next step is to seal it in a clear coat.  The only problem is, its November so the weather can be hit or miss.

 

Low Poly Hulk

A few posts back talked about 3D printing a Low Poly Hulk model that I got from youmagine.com > here.   It took over 19 hours to print and it turned out amazing.  Decided that I will paint.  With only three colours it should be an easy job.  Picked up some green and purple paint.  All ready have some black.  So far as I am typing this (November 12, 2021, have two coats of green on.  Thinking one more should do it.  Then I will move on to the purple pants.  Will post a picture or two when it is done.

PLA Filament From Filaments.ca

Took me about a month but got around to trying the PLA filament I ordered from Filaments.ca.  Found a cool low poly Hulk model over at youmagine.com > here.  It seemed easy to print and simple to paint.  Which I will do at some point.  Scaled the model down at first just to see who well it would turn out.   In which it did.  So, printed it again, just much bigger.  It took about 19 hours and 25 mins.  It looks amazing.  As for the PLA filament it is this one here.  (Sadly, sold out as of typing this November 7, 2021).
