Egg on my face, then!
Perhaps a sliver of aluminium foil could be positioned in the 1mm slot, above the LED, with tweezers? It's thin and flexible, yet solid enough to block light.

Nah, not really. It was a sensible suggestion. I think the real problem is that the light output from these little LED's is so intense they could double as a laser cutter!

It's just that you hear some stories about how difficult ABS and other filament can be. I have had some rubbish PVA though and it's been really terrible to use.
I am no where near ready to start printing yet though, I have loads of projects half started, it think we all have don't we..
Will they fit diagonally?
Your correct Rik....PLA.. And it all depends on how wide it is Rik. I am placed some of yours and other members stuff at an angle before but like I say, it all depends on width.
Yes I do only have a 150 bed. I am so easily misled....philipy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 8:56 amRod,FWLR wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 7:03 am Would I be able to print that on my printer using PVA or similar.

I normally use PVA filament, I can't be bothered messing about with temperature controlled enclosures for ABS. I did use it experimentally in my early days but back then my old Qidi printer was fully enclosed which made it simple. Now I have open frame machines, to me it's not worth the hassle, PVA does everything I want.
I'm intending to print the powered chassis and wheels in PVA filament but the rest of it will be resin. I'm not sure how the detail would fare if done in filament. Certainly I'm pretty sure that filament would struggle with the small/fine bits like the bells, lamp, front grilles, etc.
The biggest bits are the two side frames, which are 150mm long, I don't know if they will fit on your printer bed, I know you've had size problems before?
TBH, no, I don't have loads of half finished projects, I don't work that way. It does often take me a while to get going, but once I start something ( anything) I go at it non-stop until its finished. I simply can't put things down half done. The only exception is the DeWinton I was working on nearly 18 months ago but had big problems with, and its been on the back burner for over a year.
Crisp enough?
