I'm forseeing a lot of maintenance hole surveys in the future. To improve the results, and reduce the chance of losing a disto down a sewer line I made this doohickey.

Did you machine some of the doohickey, or did you modify some existing device? It looks like you made it from a woodworking clamp.

@field-dog When I looked at it, I thought it was a resin print as print lines are very hard to see or could be imagined

@martin_au LOL, I don't have the patience for that small of a layer height FDM.?ÿ You do have your settings down for your machine.

@norm-larson

Took about 24 hours to print the lot. I don't mind that. I just let it go while I do other things.

@martin_au?ÿ I do the same, but, I do go watch it from time to time.?ÿ I printed a 1/5 scale TRex lawn ornament and that was 5 weeks of 24/7 with each print being multiple days at 0.45 layer height.?ÿ It was ASA and PLA so no real failure issues, just time.?ÿ Resin, I don't even watch anymore, it just never fails.?ÿ Great to see someone else printing!
