My most loved electronic device is a beauty and as such it deserves nice looking companion devices too. Right now it's companion devices are mostly just plain PCBs wired inside some open cases, not looking nice.
To get the right look for those cases (it has to be a special red, glossy metal look) the first thing noobs like me remember is how the printers of the masses produce that mirror like surfaces when printing PLA on glass beds without a raft. ABS is an option too but requires more care and I wanted to try the easier variant for a proof of concept.
It works, I but have to improve it. I need another setup for the mirror tile and clamps that allow me to close the sides again. Had big warping at the open sides, nearly none at the closed ones. This can be fixed easily.
More tricky to handle is to get the filament flow back on the point when continuing the print after removing the raft. Could be easily solved with a Z-Suite advanced option "no Raft" (think that would be less than 10 lines of code), but…
The surface was not perfect. It would need exact leveling of bed and mirror tile but that can be handled. And finally the color does not fit, but the filament is from a local manufacturer that offers orders with custom colors.
I think it's just a matter of time until the beauty gets much better looking companions.
