how much weight can that thing hold? I wonder if you could make a decent end table for supporting a reading lamp, or something. Maybe print the base as solid and flip it upside down?

either way, I find that to be impressive!

That looks like the mother of all torture tests. Good on your printer for printing it at all!

How.... how long did that take to print??

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Around 6 hours. The 120mm version was 1-2 hours.
