Printed ABS like a champ. Textured build plate and all.

This is the V Block that someone posted here a few days ago. https://www.printables.com/model/646144-v-blocks-with-clamp

The filament is some old ABS I've had since 2014 or so.

Of course, I've jinxed myself now. The next nine pieces will fail in every imaginable way, mostly by warping.

The next ABS piece came out fine, but for my hubris, I'm now getting warped PLA. This is just a solid block about 80mm wide. All four corners lifted.

Next in the hubris awards, I have a print that ran out of filament 1/3rd of the way through.

I'm still laughing...

The next failure was a modeling error. I used a negative offset instead of a positive, so the thing came out 4mm too small. (No photo, sorry.)

Winter morning timelapse.

This is the last build plate for the V block project. I've been doing these off and on between other prints.

Timelapse as three screws are printed. Partway through the print, a sunbeam sweeps across the scene.

Here's the complete set. All ABS. I decided to duplicate the arches and screws, as I think repeatedly popping the feet on will wear them out.

Now I'm out of black ABS. And that's great. I'm done with ABS.
