Hi - I see this is for 6.1 but do they also fit T6?

Short story - I finally have one done. Price will be an extra £5 for the CF version, making it £50 posted. For the very first one ordered I'll hold the old price (£40+£5P&P).






Long story - PETG CF was a proper nightmare to get printing properly, I had to buy a new hardened 0.6mm nozzle (normal nozzle is 0.4mm brass), and find some new print setting to suit this, along the way I've had 3 failed prints.

I often get told the same with these that I printed. £55-60 is too much. But frankly they take a long time to print and are just not worth making otherwise.

I recently listed these cup holders on ebay, for the £45 + £5 P&P, that’s £5 more expensive than I sell them here on T6 forum, reason being that ebay want £7 in fees. Really, I only listed them to make use of the ebay GSP for non UK buyers.

Anyway, I had a buyer make an ‘offer’ of £10, saying something like ‘get real mate these are 3D printed!’, so I offered to enlighten the guy on the pricing, but his response was ‘you’re a criminal’.

I don’t feel I need to justify the cost, and really it doesn’t even make commercial sense for me to make these, more like an extension of a small hobby really, and I get to feel useful when anyone like them. But I did think about the costing and here is why they are £40+£5 P&P (£45 on ebay):

Design time -probably 15 hours of drawing, prototyping and getting to the point of a useful 1st attempt, plus another 15 hours of tweaking, small improvements etc.

Printer cost and maintenance - £400 ish, and yes I use it for other things, but 90% of it’s time is cup holders.

Time per unit – I reckon it takes about 2 hours of my time in total to get the filament, dry it, load it up, and get printing, then trim, file and tidy the finished print, then box ad post it.

Costs - filament, packaging, postage, electricity, printer replacement parts, is probably around £10-£15 in total.

Now I’ve written all that down, I probably should put the price up OR - If anyone is looking for a hobby/sideline I might be interested in selling the printer and the designs for this as a package!

People who have no experience with any 3d printing have no grasp of the time and effort that goes into designing and making things.

my what started out a standard ender3v2 is now no longer a ender 3v2 its so modified by my own designs it prints perfection and anything from abs nylon CF

I have a 100 odd designs on the 3d platforms for alsorts of varied stuff I've designed and offer for free!!!! 1000's hrs gone into designing test prints wasted energy plastics and a
time!!

im currently in the process of designing and getting that hole in the top of the T6 dash filled tweaking a cup holder design similar to above

you dont need to justify a price it is what you determine if someone dont like then they can feck off!

I'll take a CF version dude. Let me know if it's the first one or if fifty quid. If you can DM me that'd be rad.

 

[T6Jay]

Thanks for the orders! I DM'd you both

Here's a new option - Matt Black. Printed with Fiberlogy Matt PET-G. The new printer gives an excellent finish when I finally got the settings dialled in. It's quite a pricey filament so these are a little more expensive at £45 + P&P. I love the look of them and I think I'm gonna print one for myself to replace the 4 year old PLA one I have in my van.

I can still make the glossy finish ones as before if preferred, at the original price (£40 + P&P).

 

[T6Jay]

If anyone wants them, I still have in stock:

1x standard PETG cup holder




2x Matt black PETG cup holder

Hello, I'd be interested in a grey one when you're next doing a batch? Thankyou

Hello, I'd be interested in a grey one when you're next doing a batch? Thankyou

Sure!

I'm thinking of trying this Sunlu Matte Grey PETG filament;



It's darker and less glossy than the previous grey I used (see post #32 above)

Which would you prefer?

 

[SteeleysWheels]

I think that new matte grey looks very smart I'd like that one please.
