You could just design some wedges
I might do It on AutoCAD later if I have some spare time
you'd need a large bed to make big enough single wedges
and that means you either get a lot of "ringing" artefacts on the print from the frame wobbling, or you print suuuper slow
also it can legit take longer to print large things than it'd take for it to ship if you just buy one, this is one of those things
my raspberry pi rackmount blade chassis thing took something on the order of two weeks actual print time
that's including failed prints, ofc
which are kinda just part of the game
point is 3d printed speaker stand: not the best plan
just stack books or set em on a box
i still wanna attatch a 3d printer head onto my cnc router eventually
i'd suggest just buying/building a printer
already building a cnc router
you don't have a tall enough z axis on a router to get much use with fdm
i could make it as tall as i want
and if you try to _make_ it tall enough you'll run into rigidity issues while cutting
im gonna have to build a bunch more anyway
making it taller will cost a terribly lot more since the entire frame is gonna have to be much thicker and more rigid, and the price does not scale nice and linearly
im gonn have to build one specifically to deal with cutting metals a ton
otherwise the movement and pressure on the tool head is gonna cuse the whole z axis to wobble around as you cut
you aren't talking aluminum extrusion or even steel angle anymore, you're talking thick steel plate, welded not bolted together
thats not particularly hard tbh
it isn't but do you really wanna spend all that instead of yknow
$200 on parts for a 3d printer on the side
true
3d printer would only be for prototyping anyway
since those can be fairly light and flimsy since there's not much force on the effector
you ever pressed aluminium?
in what context
like into shapes
sorta how car floors nd shit are made
tho just aluminium
nah, only pressed holes in
ah
i don't have room for a Serious PRess, just kinda a POS "big ole bolts and a long handled wrench" "press"
im interested in it because it'd be a really cheap way to mass make some cheap ass headphone cups with some complicated designs
and i gave that away some years ago since it's kinda pointless
way cheaper and more time effective than cncing wood at least
i dunno, aluminum can be kind of a bitch to work with acoustically
wood is much nicer
