I started to design a model of Victor Schauberger’s Repulsine.
Well, started again I shall say as I gave up on a few years ago due to other commitments.
Last time was a mess as I had to start over after realising a main component can’t be created in the same scale.
Yes I use unsuited software for this LOL
Anyway, here is the part:
And that’s how the original looks:
The ‘hood’ on top and the nozzles will be added later.
What’s the problem?
Due to the shape it is very hard to print these ‘tubes’.
Ideally they would be printed in some copper infused filament or a colour close to it, while the base for them is printed differently.
First results in really bad looking tubes, second flushes a ton of filament.
Last option would be to print it assembled and to use a brush and paint…
Any great ideas how to print those tubes or how to avoid pooping out more than printing ?
Can always revert back to my resin printer but would prefer a FDM solution…
