Default Re: 3D Printed Ford Battery Case Help

Quick update... The cover is completely printed, sanded, and ready to glue together. That'll be this week. Once that's done, I can paint it and it's ready to go!



The base tray is also completed. Here it is with the 3d printed dowel inserts slightly pushed in. Once I get high strength glue put on the dowels and the joining sides of the base and the sides, I can push them together and clamp them to glue. That'll be in the next day. Then I'll do a final standing of the whole completed tray assembly.



And more progress with the Star texture on the sidewalls, after having to start from scratch due to the last thing not working, I realized I just wasn't going to be able to build that in tinkercad. So I switched to blender, and the results are looking good so far. I need to scale these stars a little more evenly, but it's coming together! I'll definitely need the .2mm nozzle to print the walls so the texture comes out sharp.
