Did I miss a post? What's this for?woo hoo. on our way to this being a thing.
sample wheels showed up:
per designer only minor tweaking is needed due to heights.
but the major major puzzle piece:
the parts fit into a filament box.

I have a parts kit coming together and filament. one click order from them and we supply the master box with enough filament and parts(wheels,bolts,bearings) to make a wheelchair.

I work with an org that provides adaptive tricycles to disabled kids... Bet I could find a use for it

95a TPU showed up today and one roll is in the dryer. Rest of the filament shows up tomorrow . Hopefully by the end of next week, I'll be well on my way to one of these. The chair will be black, blue and purple, with red tires. If all goes well, then I'll pick up some TPU foam for the cushion.
Just need the hardware to show up...

Oh good it's just a typo. School Houses Pools had me confused.

Filament just arrived!Unfortunately, due to school house spools' inability to simply ship orders before they are placed, the filament for this won't arrive before snowpocalypse
I threw a roll in the dryer and another in the printer. Going to send it on a 16hr print to kick off this project. God hates a coward

4 pieces of the wheelchair are done. I'm travelling for a couple days, so I loaded enough into the AMS for the rest of the black parts and my 10 year old will (hopefully) keep it running.
48 hrs in and 320 to go. I'm saving the TPU for last (red)
New laptop shows up tomorrow (a used Lenovo P14S... i7 11th Gen, 32GB ram, T500 graphics card and 4K screen). Looking forward to a speed bump with slicing these models

Those print times...
more reason to get more printers. duh.

If there is a demand for these wheelchairs, I'll get more printers, no problem.
we're hoping to get bambu on board with helping. aka more printers.

I'll take a subsidized printer any day. Even willing to commit to a reasonable volume.
Based on how excited my physical therapist colleagues were at this, I bet there is a strong need for them
New printer needs to start with an H though...
really hoping for a discount code or similar setup. prove 5 builds -> get a discount code 50% off or something.

5 builds is a commitment, but I can get behind that..
we're still trying to figure out the right number. im saying 5 publicly but my request number is lower.

Are materials supplied? Or is that part of the "volunteering"? Minimum bed size?
we're working on having materials and parts kits donated. it will show up on the map and maker list as "kit provided" so when you claim it schoolhousespools will ship you the kit.

I think it's a great idea and is for a great cause, but printing these is a huge time commitment. I'd be surprised if many people do one.
If I wasn't working at home, this could take a month to print

same handle? drop me a DM with your email ill check it out.

It's being printed... This one is going to my colleagues, but I need a parts kit....
As soon as this one is done, I'll get another kit and start on it. Really would like to see print settings that drop time down into the mid 200's
You running it with the .6 nozzle size? I started my account but haven't uploaded the verification prints yet but was looking at the profiles and the .6 nozzle does save some time and gets down to just over 200 hours. I need to download the files and see what can be done with the larger bed area of the H series plus a .6 nozzle
Was thinking of trying to do the main body in all black, probably via 5kg rolls from our favorite petg dealer, then customized colors on the wheels, tires and cushions. But probably getting ahead of myself...TPU is in the drier and need to print the strap verification print

No, the 0.4mm stock nozzle. There are some posts on their discord from people that messed with 0.6 and it didn't change the time by a lot. Interesting that you are seeing differently.
I downloaded the files and opened up in bambu studio with no changes, so I don't know why my times are so much higher

I'm slowly working on a better nested file to reduce print times. once im done on this trade show circuit and not sick I can focus there.
