Not an official showcase thread from this time but I’ll keep posting how I use my Mini 2.
Problem
The clip that holds the hood prop on my Honda S2000 has snapped. Very small, plastic part that is difficult to buy due to the age of the car. Let’s scan.
To make your prints stronger, have you, or anyone tried the method of:
1 Print the part in solid mode. Infill at 100%
2 Get some fine salt. Best to run it through a blender to make a fine powder.
3 get a can and pack the salt all around the part using a dowel to compact it in all holes, and contours of the part.
4 put the can in the oven for a while at approx 400’
This will melt all the layers together form a ridgid part as the salt wont melt.
Using a coarser salt gives a bumpier exterior.
