... 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)....
Here's the 3d printed housing and battery contacts completed. Was visiting my daughter a few weeks back and knew she could get the housing printed so I quickly whipped up a design in #freecad and sent it over to her.
The battery contacts are 1mm thick brass plate that I cut and filed to the correct shape based on a cardboard template. They turned out pretty nice looking.
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.
Feeling relatively clear today so thought I'd get a few of the wife's requested prints designed but for some reason #FreeCAD just wouldn't start so went looking for alternatives and stumbled upon #dune3d and OMG what a banging new #CAD tool, it's a very fast core clearly built around keyboard shortcuts but has a lovely context menu you bring up with space and for designing simple parts has absolutely everything I need today. I am very impressed. #3dprinting#design#partdesign
@sp4rkr4t Thank you for mentioning it! I've tried it today too, got many things without watching any tutorials, read all the short and comprehensive documentation, and feel ready to start my own projects now. I like all the complicated stuff FreeCAD can do, but here simple stuff is really simple.
#CGAPrints update: Release Candidate 1? I took some time today to test-print a couple of colours that arrived this week, and they seem pretty close. This is the first time I've compared a full batch against colours on a real screen - what do you think?
All 16 colours are different brands and types of PLA, so given access to the complete palette, basically every printer should be capable of making some form or other of CGA pixel art.
C'est le retour du printemps pour quelques jours, et qui dit Printemps dit jardinage. Pour des jardinières "nues" achetées par ma chérie, elle a mis une bache qu'elle va pouvoir remplir de terre. Pour permettre l'évacuation de l'eau, j'ai rapidement modélisé (15 minutes) des petites bondes (que je peux éventuellement raccorder à des restes tuyaux d'arrosage automatique). C'est trois fois rien, mais ça a été tellement rapide à faire, merci la technologie et l'impression 3d. #3dprint#fusion360
Imprimante: Bambulab X1C
Filaments: Prusament PETG Panacotta
Buse: 0,4 mm
Hauteur de couche: 0,2 mm
Impression à 125% de vitesse (1h pour huit pièces à 100%), mon chanfrein d'évacuation a été imprimé sans support donc pas toujours joli mais fait en connaissance de cause car je m'en moquais totalement.
Elle mettra cailloux, galets et branchage au fond pour assurer le drainage, et terre au-dessus. On quitte mon domaine de compétence, je laisse faire madame 🙂
I spent time painting tonight and decided to start some "remix" pieces for my Tower of Terror. (A "remix" in this context is an STL that's been modified to include new or different features.)
Even with just the rough colors blocked out, I can tell this catacomb level will look great!
I left my #Prusa 3D printer unattended for a couple of hours, and it completely screwed up and the extruder got completely encapsulated in a 1cm thick glob of PLA filament. This is what it looked like after half an hour of delicate unglobbing. Another half hour of cleaning and reassembling and it was working fine again. Not sure what went wrong - PETG builds are nearly always perfect, but I'm building something that should be a little more flexible, hence the PLA.
@saustrup PETG is more flexible than PLA? If some PETG is stuck in the hot-end path and you push PLA through it can glob up heavily. Cold pulling with PETG or PC might help.
