    Wanted something a little different than the standard straight tubes. Have to tweak things to fit a bit better, but seems to be very strong in PLA.

        Interesting looking, it will be strong enough till the sun hits it and it slowly becomes horizontal lol.

          Yeah, I've been thinking about trying to give annealing a go.

            Try learning PETG it will be more resilient.

              Yeah, I had to get good at PETG cause I bought a spool by accident. I guess I liked PLA because it's renewable and degrades faster, but probably for actual usage I should go back to PETG because the annealing process mucks with the dimensions.

                  Very cool looking pump handle, can you post a side view? Are there hole on the side or spikes in the recess portion?

                Anyway, it's kind of a diamond knurling pattern

                  Made a Y grip for my Phantom. Can’t tell if I like it or the 90 more.

                      Switched from PLA to ABS, got a couple decent smallish prints, then a big one with a few bumps above the empty spots on the infill, and then this train wreck.

                        Over Barrel version hot off the print bed. This one feels really nice!

                        I finally have a working printer!! First print is some grips, now I Need to figure out how to reduce the wood grain look stepping with it.

                          Print in ABS then acetone vapor smooth it.

                        That will come with printing using lower layer heights. Alternately, you could always print in wood PLA and embrace the stepping.

                          Check out plaster annealing, it does great stuff for PLA's temperature resistance.
