OFFICIAL OPENING
Save the date: On November 19, 2025, we will celebrate the official reopening of FabLab Chemnitz!
Note regarding the offer/restriction: We have been offering the weekly open workshop from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. again for a while now. However, we are still working on a few key areas until the opening in order to restore the original workshop offering from Philippstraße and are struggling with various infrastructure problems in the Stadtwirtschaft.

Crystalized

By Mario Voigt, 13 October, 2020

Today i printed Jason Surlock's crystal structure from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3037485 (CC-BY).

Was a lot of fun to make some shiny 400 mm tall crystal of 700 grams of translucent PLA by Das Filament. While printing i recognized a lot of stringing (fine hairs). So i am going to adjust the printer profile next time. Seems i have to lower the temperature a bit to avoid oozing while the head is traveling. But i am happy with the result because it finished without any leaks or printer pause.

The timelapse video capture:

While watching the video i also recognized a lot of wobbling. Next time i will try to make a better camera fixation to avoid the jumping.

The result lighted by some regular smart phone. Looks cool enough to make a dark shiny cave.
