Doomed Trident 300

[Oneway]

And so it starts ,
this should be frustrating, time consuming and fairly expensive but totally worth it when it finally goes brrrr!

Due to long lead times for the frame and a life I haven’t finalized many things at this point in regards to hardware choices and setup, but now that the box of aluminum sticks landed I guess it’s time to commit before I change my mind.

Here’s what it is, so far…

Doomcube/EZbake Trident
Frame - DLLPDF
Color - Illusion Chartreuse
Build area - 300x300x300
100mm extra height for umbilical and stuff.

Lots to print while waiting on parts to arrive and since im still undecided on which direction im going to take for a few items I decided to just start at the bottom and work my way up. My previous and only build prior to this was my 300 trident which being a kit was very straightforward since everything was basically spelled out for you with the exceptions of the mods so printing was just checking items off a list, this printer is all mods so im in no hurry and will print as i go.
Starting with the skirts, adding the mesh, discovering that the stl files available for the front skirts were only posted in 250 and 350mm presented a problem. Ive never opened Fusion, the little bit of modeling ive done was in onshape so after finding the correct cad which happened to be the Tridex printer which shares the same corners and front skirts I got to work.
Didnt take long to figure out how to cut a section of the skirt out and combine the end back with the main section, not bad for the first time opening fusion, I think ill continue to learn with some how tos on youtube.
Printing parts this time is so much nicer, for one thing ive been printing for quite some time at this point and im not using a POS creality printer covered with a cardboard box, what a difference

Filament Used
Phaetus ABS-GF, black
Hatchbox ABS, pastel green

The accent color was actually a test at first with some filament that has been sitting on my shelf for some time, looks good and prints really nice, plus I didnt have to buy anything.
The ABS-GF from phaetus is one of my goto filaments, prints amazing at higher speeds and shows very little in the way of layer lines, plus I really like the texture and matt finish.




Parts should start landing in the next few days so I wont bore you anymore with printed parts, im sure nobody reads this anyway but youve seen one part and yadda yadda yadda. Hopefully the quality is up to par, this machine is going to be pretty damn nice once i figure out how to build a few of the main components, def not just another trident.
