Description

I created a simple single walled tornado shape for testing multiple materials on my ultimaker.com
Printing this from transparent PLA give a nice effect in combination with the large artifacts.

add some solid layers

The newest version of slic3r is not detecting any layers for it.

That's because the STL file is broken, as it doesn't contain any solid. I published a fixed version at http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... that works with Slic3r too.

Any chance you can provide an open scad model or export the STL with more facets? I really see the polygons on my prints =-O

Martijn on August 4, 2012 said:

the facets are there on purpose

how do you stop the ABS from shrinking and cracking?

With something like this, I would try a heat gun or heated build environment to keep the plastic soft enough everywhere to finish the print, then let it cool homogeneously.

By not using ABS. Ultimaker users (like myself) typically use PLA. It is significantly more dimensionally stable.

I am really impressed to see them made on MBI. I was sure they would shake off. Nice....

Its actually a pretty simple print provided you have your machine setup correct of course. I played around a lot with it when it was first posted. Biggest problem is with ABS shrinking which causes the layers to separate at the very top.
