First 3D printer project

[Hoob]

Hey all this is my first ever 3D printer project, as you can probably guess I’m working on Jorge’s mini gun etilka. If anybody has any tips or anything for it I will be happy to listen as I am completely new to the hobby I just got my printer this week and I have never made any crafts besides this hahaha so any tips at all would be greatly appreciated

After about 5 days of printing all the parts have finished printing!

Time to start the sanding bondoing and gluing process on the gun : ) I also just started printing my grenadier helmet

I was in a pretty similar boat! (but not a benchy lol)

I have the FlashForge AD5M - First print was a test cube, second print was was the stylus for the touch screen, third print was the SOCOM M6C. Thankfully had almost zero calibration to do, just a full send. Looks great!

Hahaha yea I went from the benchy boat straight to Jorge’s gun :sob: I had 1 issue where I needed to recalibrate the printer but other then that it actually went extremely well sometimes it pays to have high ambitions XD

Yea I know it was but the prints actually came out really well the Neptune 4 I got made things pretty easy despite people saying it’s quite a complicated printer online. The hard part for me right now is finding the will to sand it all XD
