Ringing Bell (PPS-CF/PPA-CF)

This is a bell I have modeled specifically for PPS-CF or PPA-CF. Other filaments may vary. I printed this with an X1C on the smooth plate. Bed temp at 120C and nozzle at 300C. It rings quite well when struck, similar to an aluminum bell. I've attempted this same bell in multiple other filaments and materials, and, while they do print a very nice-looking bell, they do not ring.

This model needs very good bed adhesion. Clean your print surface well before printing, and make sure your temperatures are stablilized before printing.

If printing in PPS-CF or PPA-CF. This needs an enclosure, and I recommend heating the enclosure to 50C prior to starting the print.

Annealing recommendations-100C for 1 hour, 160C for 12 hours, 80C for 1 hour, let cool naturally. The bell will ring un-annealed, but sounds much better when annealed.
