OHMS LAW Wheel - Lightbox

OHMS LAW Wheel - Lightbox

I originally wasn't going to finish printing this after seeing some bad artifacts on the first few layers, however, I fell asleep and the front finished, so I will present the results.

I was originally interested in this model after seeing what the author said about it. I was going to stop the print after seeing artifacts in the first few layers, but fell asleep. This is the front that finished printing. At face value, it looks good.

The back was printing on another printer that had two partial spools of black. I underestimated how much material I had left and both spools ran out during the print. This is how far it got before it died sometime around 3:00AM.

As is typical of many lightbox prints on MakerWorld, I noticed some "pinholes" in the face that will allow light to come right through various spots without being diffused by the white part.

This is what I am talking about with artifacts detected in the first few layers while printing. I will post a reply with four more examples.

That isn't good. 

Is that something with the printer, the settings, the filament or the print file? Do we know what can be done to fix these things?

I too am still learning. While I have learned a lot, I still have more to learn. Sometimes the print profile is just not well done. For now I will attempt to see how it works with the light in it. One thing I have noticed is that some people say that these enclosed printers get too hot inside. It is the hottest part of the summer now and it averages 78° in my workshop every day. So I will have to look into that. I know I didn't have issues on the P1S or A1 during the winter. Summer doesn't just bring heat...it brings humidity.

Ah yes, humidity - bad for the body, and also the filament.

Have you thought about a dehumidifier for your shop?

[JKnightandKARR]

I like the idea.

I have one. It's a Midea and a Smart one at that. However, it raises the temperature from roughly 78° to around 85° to 90°, so I stopped using it. That's WAY to hot in here.

Completely agree. My slowest course in working on my BS degree was Communication. It was a pretty hot summer, and my office was on the second floor of our three-floor, 1890s house (I.E. What's air conditioning? ) It was so hot that it took me over a month for that one class - as opposed to about 3-5 days average for the rest of my classes.

My wife would say that the temperature with the dehumidifier was quite acceptable. She's always cold.

@Chris Savage my wife is cold natured too, she will always slip on a sweater when in a restaurant.

When I first saw the title of your post and it said "wheel" I wondered if it would also include the power formulas which it did. This is a nice project that is useful for all levels of experience. I think the same project scaled down to maybe 1/4th would look great on any desk.

Same. She always takes a sweater when we go out, because she's almost always cold in stores and restaurants.

I think the same project scaled down to maybe 1/4th would look great on any desk.

Do you mean like this? These are roughly 1/4 of the size. Perhaps 1/3.

Jeff, it did turn out looking pretty nice:

The diameter is just over 4.5". This is without any scaling down, and I think that it is a decent size for a shop (if not posted across the room. )

My disappointment was that I wanted it to have the raised lettering in the different color.

Exactly Chris although I do like the lightbox in the OP

I like it granz , I think the white on a blue background works well. They would probably make good coasters.

LOL that's awesome, I can see I need to do a little googling before I comment.
