well are the zips i included ok? as in are they printable at 200 microns at a good quality?

should be manageable depending on how good the printer is, and how well the guy operating it is at operating his 3D printer.

 

i may be able to pull those off my super tightly adjsuted 3D printer, my knobhead friend with an ultimaker 2 is a lost case.

they're both gonna be an equally lost case on a prusa i3 if the guy isnt a 3D printing wizard

he said he could make it work so i dunno

i'm squeezing one out of my "wanhao duplicator i7 extreme editon" 

150% print speed because it screws up support material any faster, i gave it the best chance oriented like this:

my favourite way of supporting prints, 1.2mm walls and top/bottom, no infill because my printer hates infill

i'll let you know how it went in 3 hours

mine's a knockoff of a knockoff of a knockoff of an i3, with some modifications done to it

 

and my printer was set up anyways, so i may as well print more random junk, my army of buddhacules need mounts to go to war, because they sure aint walking

 

EDIT: my wanhao duplicator i7 extreme edition:

im actually really interested in learning how to 3d print in my spare time while im off work, any recommendations on what online courses, videos to watch? what 3d printer to get? what program? etc

i suggest you get the very best printer you can afford, and then trial and error

FreeCAD or Sketch Up.

recommendation on sketchup: it can do everything, as long as it's a 90° angle

any recommendations on 3d printers, i could theoretically build one by myself right?

the question is, do you *want* to spend 49 USD on a piece of software that works really well... on 90° angles.

 

sketchup was designed to easily (and quickly) make 3D models of buildings, not for making actual functional models.

best to ask someone with some 3D modelling talent

(which... i dont have.. at all )

If you're a student, try getting AutoDesk.

It's good for 180 degree angles too!

im sort of technically a student, i mean i graduated from unversity already but would an mba count for this? or a masters

Use your student e-mail address and find out.
