This is the QSN (Quasicrystalline Spin Network.) First and foremost, Please watch the video attached so you have most of the information you need to print this. : Second, This is my challenge to the 3D printing community, Can you Print it? I spent over 3 months trying to get this to print extremely well. It took all kinds tweaks and Tests, BUT the very first one I tried WORKED! So i know you can do it too. after you get one printed, its all tweaking from there! How much better can you make it? I have about 30 of them Printed now. each with a new tweak! My coworker Ray had this pulled up on his screen when I went into his office and I said, "I think I can print that"... and 3 months later here we are! I spent way to much time trying to tune my built from scratch Restock delta to make perfect prints of the QSN. I eventually achieved this goal. Now I can print some really amazing prints of the QSN. This is no easy print, however, I really would LOVE feed back from others who try to print one. I'm interested in seeing your method of printing this. Things such as: How did you generate support?What printer you are using?What filaments did you try?What slicers did you get to work?Were you able to generate a solid?Anything else you think would be helpful to share! I have had almost No luck making this a solid. It's currently "stick and balls". You will need to make sure your slicer can handle that. I did get Meshmixer to make it a water tight solid, but it has to many triangles. Its almost overloaded for most average computers. You need a lot of ram.So if you try this, use the stick and balls version, and make sure your slicer can handle it. If you have any luck making this a solid please let me know. Something I did not mention in the video was that I did try to build custom supports in Meshmixer as well as PreForm, but it was not achievable. Please give it a go and let me know if you get custom supports to work. Challenge excepted ? :) I'm not giving out my slicer settings just yet, because I'm interested in how you get it to work best! Later I will publish my Slicer settings that I have. However, in reality each system will be different any how and require your own settings...
