Hey, could you show us a bit more perhaps? It's not very clear what you fixed exactly.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 9 points 5 months ago

I think they meant a piece of glass. Looks like what would go on top of the cheese drawer in the fridge.

Had to make a second version because the one on the post was too fragile. It was bending with just the glass. The new one looks like this

Oh, nice fit! Are you pretty satisfied with it so far? I don't imagine it would have any issues with the cold temps, and it pretty much looks like it came with the fridge. Good work!

Yes, it looks better than I expected. I will seal it later to prevent bacterial growth as someone suggested here

Was confused by the title. "How do you have a cup too small for a fridge?"

Hope you seal that bad boy up or it's going to be a nice home for all those microorganisms.

Yeah didn't tought of that, do you think epoxy resin is enough?

[–] PurpleClouds@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Food safe epoxy would be fine I think. Don't get the cheap stuff.

Id love to know how you got the first layer to stick, I couldn't get my Cr-30 to print anything more then spaghetti.

At the beginning I had several issues. If I remember correctly first I has to level the front part, then mark the distance with a wedge and have that same distance on the back.

For this it is important that when you're adjusting the Y0 check on both edges and in the middle. It should be the same height overall

Once it's leveled you need to adjust the Y offset until it sticks, for this you can print a zigzag pattern and it should stick equally well everywhere.

I remember I had saved some videos that explain that let me find them. Also the discord community is helpful for this particular printer
