Sinter 1: 10mm socket #1

Open jes opened 5 years ago

jes commented 5 years ago

Printed the 10mm socket model at 100% scale.

Initial mass: 5.3g Final mass: 3.8g (-28%)

Looks good, but hollow at the top.

If the filament is really 80% bronze by mass, then after we burn off all of the PLA we should still have 80% of the mass, which means we either lost a small amount of bronze here, or the filament is only 72% bronze by mass.
