Description
I needed to replace the broken light shades on my overhead fixtures in my motorhome but since I replaced the incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs there was a glare problem. The best fix was for me to print copies of the original which were clear with some that were obscured with a frosted look. I decided to use polycarbonate and they came out with a wonderful look to them. I didn't even clean them up afterward as they have a sort of crystal look to them and I am very pleased.
I sliced the model at .3mm and didn't need any support. The PC stuck wonderfully even with only two shells on the bottom and I didn't have to do anything to clean them up. I ran my extruder at 315C, printbed at 235C, speed 45mm/sec and my minimum layer time at 30 seconds.
