Hi Phil, thought it was more suitable here, I wanted to build a full size 3 rotor enigma machine, and the build plate on my ender 3 was not big enough, so after a lot of looking and comparing I bought the ender 5 plus, here are some of the prints, the black is carbon fibre
Regards Jeff

Interesting project.
Any issues with the CF ? I know it's supposed to eat standard nozzles.

Hi Adrian, I read that and used a hardened .4 nozzle from the start

Beautiful work! I do like the carbon fibre and a good tip reference the nozzle issue to. I think the ender 5 plus will be for me.

Superb Ray, it's good to see what you guys are producing with these filament printers! That 88mm is something else, the best I've seen what's the weight?

Thanks Phil. I think they weigh about 1.5kg.

I own both these shells now haha!
He also makes excellent 'open' ones so you can see the inside (KwK36, KwK43, etc.)

Somehow only just found this thread so thought id add some of the things ive been making recently.
I have an Ender3 Pro v2 fdm printer and an Alegoo Saturn S resin printer.
The resin printer is used for figures and small detail parts.
I am currently making interior parts and stowage for my 251.C and should have a decent looking interior when done.
