never ending tweaks lol. I'm trying to get a .6mm nozzle tuned right to eliminate stringing on my parts

My attempt at 3D printing racks (6 Viewers)

@One Eyed Dollar I finally got my son to print those spacers using the file you posted. They work fantastic with the PCA 5's. I used the 3.5mm file like you suggested. Top notch work man. I owe you one! He just loaded up the file and printed away.

Awesome! Post pics!
I will when I get home!Awesome! Post pics!
Mine are in Chipco racks. The 3.5 mm is perfect to keep them snug but not too snug. Had him print me a bunch since I have several extra racks these are just the ones I keep with my set in the birdcage. @One Eyed Dollar

The spacers look great! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to see someone else using the models.

Man, I've had a bunch of stringing issues with this CR-10 as well. I started off with the same settings as my Ender 3 with the 0.6 nozzle, but I got way more stringing than before. I think it's due in part to the all-new hot end design on the CR-10 V2. I've been watching some videos though and I finally got the Cura settings dialed into the point where the stringing is pretty minimal. Have you managed to get yours adjusted?
I've got a new model that I'm going to test print tonight and should be ready to post soon. I think it will be handy for a number of people here.
My son has an Artillery sidewinder X1, 2 of them actually. Not sure how those rate as far as 3d printers but they popped out a dozen of those spacers nicely thanks to the ready made file!

Cool, we talked about those printers a page or so back because Darson was thinking about buying one. They're in the same price range as the new printer I just bought and are pretty similar in specs.
He really likes his. Of course I don't know how much tweaking he has to do with them, but every time I go over there they're both cranking lolCool, we talked about those printers a page or so back because Darson was thinking about buying one.

almost, still a little bit of stringing but trying to get it better. It must be because of the nozzle size because the .4mm one had pretty much zero without screwing around

I'm new to the forum, and I'm just getting samples now to see which set I want to buy, but I'd love to get some info on the best dimensions for the trays for the chips I settle on. If you were to sell them, and they were easy enough to make, I think you would make a killing, the market is terrible on generic sites.

Preview of my next model:
This one was requested by @justsomedude. He bought a Bosch router for building his next poker table and needs a circle jig. At first he gave me a block of wood to drill some holes in with my drill press, but then we decided a 3D printed jig would be cooler and might have better dimensional accuracy. I looked for one on Thingiverse and found a jig for a Festool router, but nothing for the Bosch. This one was inspired by that Festool jig, but I built it from scratch using the dimensions that justsomedude gave me.
So the 3/8" rods go through the hexagonal openings (why hexagonal? well, it's easy to print without supports, and I think it locates the rod better to push it down into a groove instead of down into the middle-ish of a circle with a slightly larger diameter), and a 1/4"-20 thumbscrew goes in from the top to hold the rod at the radius you need for your cut. There is a hex nut inserted from the bottom that is trapped between the rod and the roof of the model, which the thumbscrew goes through. The hole in the top of the model for the thumbscrew is not threaded. And the center pin keeps the jig in place. Once it's finished, dude will take some action shots for me with the router.
This is my first prototype print of the jig and it's really good, but I made a few more tweaks. I'll try to print the improved version tonight, and when it's ready I'll share the model. I think there are a number of people on here making tables with Bosch routers that might find it handy.
My new printer is working well! I'm printing samples of my different products so that I can photograph them for my store, and I will be operational as a vendor soon!

@One Eyed Dollar I like the custom objects that you are making. What software are you modeling in? I have a couple of printers myself, but havent stepped into very many custom builds. Have a buddy with 10 Prusas in town that is an engineer for a huge global industrial company, if you ever need objects made to scale, quickly, we can chat about that too!

Wow, that's a lot of printers! I started out just printing models I downloaded from Thingiverse, but I wanted to do some modeling myself. I downloaded and tried about 5 programs and then settled on using DesignSpark Mechanical for most of my work. You might find that other software works better for you. I struggled because I used to do a lot of 3D design in AutoCAD, which admittedly is not the best program for it, but now my brain is wired to think in AutoCAD and it's hard to make the switch. I learned AutoCAD back in HS when the versions were numbered, not by the year, and we had the big tablets and pucks to draw with. Not like modern tablets, I mean these old beasts:
4-button puck for the win!
In college I bought a 3-button Logitech mouse (this was before scroll wheels - I had to explain 3-button mice to a young co-worker a few years ago) so I could program the middle button for the OSNAP pop-up window. That was a great time-saver.

2 nights of fiddling after my twins are in bed and the prusa is printing like a champ.
now to get it working on the 1000 or so hours of print work I have piled up...

Kicking off my first spacer now. Hoping to use this with my casino worn Eldorado chips, starting with the 3.5mm spacer. Had to trim the ends of the spacer to fit my print bed. Looks like I had room to go ahead without trimming after the print kicked off. Software was limiting me and telling me I would go past the corners, I am sure they have a 5% bugger on the edges, which isnt a bad idea.
Buddied up with this glass to kick off the project
Cut the ends and sliced the file for printing, loaded thumb drive on my MonoPrice Voxel printers, queued up the print.
Started the print, should be done when I wake up, which is my preferred way of printing...

It's been a while, but I made a thing!
This one was requested by @justsomedude and we have been putting it through its paces and breaking numerous prototypes. I think we have it sorted out now, although he hasn't done a test cut with it yet. I'm going ahead and sharing the model anyway, but I may have to revise it if it does not survive the final testing.
This is my model for a circle jig to work with the Bosch 1617 router. The model is posted in the other thread here:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/oeds-models-for-3d-printing-poker-stuff.50673/#post-1011216
Here are some photos to hopefully explain it better:
This one will be in the store soon too! I'll be selling it either as just the jig by itself or with hardware included (the centering pin and the two screws with knobs).

I forgot to tag @bsdunbar1 in the post above about the circle jigs, sorry.
While thinking about making 36mm racks, I had an idea for a way to print racks differently and try to make the curved parts smoother. This will require some modeling and testing. Stay tuned!

Small correction.
Technically it was designed around the Bosch RA1166 Plunge Router Base.
I would assume it will also fit the 1617 fixed base, as the guide-rod spacing should be identical, but I am not sure. I will check tonight.
