@tylermumford oh, yes. Most definitely. One of the good aspects is that all three I mentioned have versions for Linux, Mac, and Windows. So no platform lock-in.
Lemme try to track down some links, as I've given "I've stumbled into this cool tool" jumpstart intro talks on two of them.
@thomastospace I'm really new to this, but I'm using both Onshape and TinkerCAD. Onshape is nice for precision and how my brain thinks by default. TinkerCAD is fun for experimentation and playing. Some serious design, too.
Cosa che ho imparato:
Se stampi in 3D una piastra alta pochi millimetri e fai un riempimento a zig zag per risparmiare filamento, una volta staccata dalla base il pezzo si imbarcherà per effetto del calore di stampa e della ritrazione del materiale a freddo. Per evitare fai meno il taccagno e usa un riempimento a griglia o cubico e il pezzo non si imbarcherà perché la struttura interna sarà meno uniforme. #Stampa3d#3DPrinting#SbagliandoSImpara
in #3dPrinting you need to keep your 3d filament (the ink basically) super dry, because it absorbs water, which makes it brittle and generally fucks with it
a lot of people come up with very expensive or complicated solutions. i just bought a 10EUR back of 1kg re-usable gel silica used to dehydrate car interiors, but it in an airtight-ish ikea box and my humidity reader is struggling to read the humidity because it's too low ✨
@bram@stooovie I’ve stored PLA and TPU like that for 5 years and it preserved perfectly. The TPU I finished printing this week.
This being said, I did invest in a PolyDryer and a few boxes as I’m moving to more difficult-to-handle filaments. Nylon is one that sounds quite bad, but very exciting.
@SebastianM6L I had a spare spool ready to go in case it did run out, but it had 5 wraps to go with 20 minutes left. I had to babysit it while trying to get ready to leave, but I couldn’t leave because I knew it would run out if I did.
... the cover: materialized and in its natural habitat.
The wall socket box was too shallow to hold a breaker, 24V transformer and #Esp32 board with a relay.
Not very aesthetic, but it covers all the door unlocking junk.
Hi - Tenlog TLD3-Pro, printing with branx new Overture PLA+, printing an OpenSCAD exported STL sliced with Cura 5.7.1 (most recent as of yesterday)....
As I’m graduating college in a few weeks, I’ll be losing access to my university’s free printers and filament. I’m going to build up a home lab with a couple printers where I can make goofy little mechanical projects as well as some components for my cars and stuff....
Manyfold v0.66.0 has been released! This release focuses on accessibility again, particularly around keyboard control of the 3d models. But, in order to make that happen, we had to do a big rewrite of the renderer that should make it much faster and smoother! We hope you like it 😄
Made a FreeCAD tutorial for making this container: https://makertube.net/w/mg7rdKStSUua7AhnAt1RoM I have to warn you that I made a bunch of mistakes and it may be really hard to follow.
