I made a Disto-Spider for surveying inverts
Posted by martin_au on September 16, 2020 at 8:11 amI’m forseeing a lot of maintenance hole surveys in the future. To improve the results, and reduce the chance of losing a disto down a sewer line I made this doohickey.

Nice job!
Did you machine some of the doohickey, or did you modify some existing device? It looks like you made it from a woodworking clamp.
MHYours looks great. I did something similar with wood, L brackets, screws and tape.
@field-dog When I looked at it, I thought it was a resin print as print lines are very hard to see or could be imagined
3D printed in carbon fibre infused nylon.
@martin_au LOL, I don’t have the patience for that small of a layer height FDM. You do have your settings down for your machine.
Nice execution!
Took about 24 hours to print the lot. I don’t mind that. I just let it go while I do other things.
@martin_au I do the same, but, I do go watch it from time to time. I printed a 1/5 scale TRex lawn ornament and that was 5 weeks of 24/7 with each print being multiple days at 0.45 layer height. It was ASA and PLA so no real failure issues, just time. Resin, I don’t even watch anymore, it just never fails. Great to see someone else printing!
