PLA Darwin Parts From Zaphod

I've run off a couple of PCB clips and a couple of brackets from PLA. You can see the stringing on the X constraint bracket - it looks like it as been enveloped by a spider. The thread can easily be picked off with a sharp point, fortunately.





The blob on top of the constraint bracket is where the software crashed. Fortunately it waited for the last layer...

Nice. The crosshatching gives it a sort of crystalline look. Like something out of the Fortress of Solitude.

Excellent photo :)
How long does it take to print these parts? Can they be used to replace some of you Darwin machine?

It should be displayed on RepRap website to show people a result of replication :)

Smaller parts take about 20-30 minutes, the larger one about 3 hours I think.

I plan to use these arts in Darwin to see how they last compared to the ABS and CAPA parts.

The clips are 1.8g, the corner 7.9g and the other bit needs to meet some scales...

This is a real pain to answer, but how stiff are they?
