3DPrinting Hot

I hate registering to websites. Especially when it’s just to download FOSS....

I redesigned a dog poop bag holder and printed it out. The original model was good, but I don’t like flat over hangs. printables.com/…/812982-dog-poop-bag-roll-dispens… #3Dprinting

Hello there,...

Very Specific Objects are a lot of fun, so here’s another one....

I was printing PLA, it looks ok up to a certain height (although it was warping slightly), but then it becomes ugly. I will do a test print of the same height, butaybe you already have an idea.

Fifteen minutes in CAD (used Solid Edge CE for this one), fifteen more on the printer, and we have Liko’s hair clip ready to hot glue onto a little barrette. Drying paint and clear coat will take longer than the rest of it.

My eye’s not twitching. Your eye is twitching.

Needed as soon as possible a spool holder for larger spools so printing anything that is dozens of hours was out of the question....

While I acknowledge the expectations Ellis tries to set, all the youtubers out there have me chasing a dragon looking for better and better layer aliment on my z-axis. I suspect (at least) one of you will come out of the woodwork and say your printer has better aligned layers than mine too 😭 I’m certainly not alone, but...

Got another case print for you guys. Got an alternate charger for my laptop and I needed something to keep it safe in my bag. There’s 2 variations on the lid.

I’ve been chasing inconsistent top layers for a little while when my first layer also started going… very sideways. My printer uses the nozzle to home on a micro switch, which meant that something was probably loose. Initially I was thinking the end stop or carriage, but who would have thought that the printer had shaken the...

One of the stepper motors’ switch things (the metal part that hits the bar to tell the motor it’s at one end of the track) came out and it’s either bent too much or snapped off (it’s so small I can’t really tell) and it doesn’t go back in place, which means I can’t use the printer because the motor with the head on...

I really didn’t like how my usb connection powered the printer control screen, so rebooting required switching off AND unplugging....

I have an Ender 3 S1 that I use every couple of months at this point because it’s just such a pain to use. I have to adjust the bed tramming and z offset and run auto bed leveling for every single print and often times that’s still not good enough....

I accidentally sanded my print a little too much, I don’t want to reprint it since it took 12 hours, is there something I can use like clay or putty that I can apply to readd the rounded art that is sandable and that I can put primer on and paint over?

I think it’s finally upgrade time. While I love my Neptune 2, it definitely has its issues....

EDIT: the clickbait YT thumbnail is garbage. This is actually a useful Blender tutorial that is short and direct without trying to bait you into plugins....

Tldr; does anyone know of an upgraded extruder that will fit a Geeetech i3 Pro B?...

With this particular model, Prusaslicer is very optimistic about bridging and support generation:...
