Awwww I love that! The biggest motor I remember, I was about 10 years old we had a stator that was big enough for me stand up in arms out stretched...but this one is waaaaayyyyy bigger. I've never seen a wind turbine apart like that before..so neat! Thanks for sharing!

anyone working with PolyCarbonate. I am printing the MJBot components and the lower legs are PC Blend. Reading the docs on PC Blend looks like you need a hood (I guess I can make a makeshift one using clear plastic and dowel) but wondering what peoples experiences are.  Also looks like the PC Blend is quite strong (although prone to warp on large prints) wondering if suitable for gears.

@nink Just be sure your hot end can get up to 250-300 degrees. It warps and splits like crazy..more so than ABS. Need to put the printer into an enclosure to keep it heated to reduce warping. Also PC likes a bed at 145-150. Print slow for first layer like 20mm/sec. No fans on.

Edit: I missed you were using a blend.....these suggestions are for PC by itself. Not used a blend..what is the other component?

Thanks for the info @Will. It is Prusa own PC Blend filament.  I haven't ordered it yet but wanted to understand how complicated this really was.  Sounds like the Prusa printer supports it so I am game, I just didn't want to waste a bunch of money for a failed print and to make sure I had everything I need to do it.

Here are some good ideas for enclosures...they will help to prevent the crazy warping of your prints!:)

Thanks I just got rid of a couple of old tables just like these.  I don't think I will do the tent idea because you can't see the print.

The tent is a bit weird...the table idea is cool though!!:)
