5/6/2014 0 Comments Khufu's (Plastic) Solar BargeAfter much difficulty, I finally finished printing the solar barge I have been working on for at least half the semester. First, though, after my initial printing method proved inadequate (the printing bed is too small..) I had to modify my strategy. Here, you can see that I have sliced the model in half parallel to its width instead of along its length, as I had done previously, and provided holes in both halves for pegs that will hold them together. Beyond that, though, I needed to print the front and rear finials separately, because the printer does not handle small vertical elements well (and that is a severe understatement, though settings can be adjusted to some extent). With some superglue (and far more sanding than I would like to think about) it finally came together fairly well.
