I have the pao'er! Yet another 3D printed @Playactiontoys Star Wars action figure toy model was released last week. My weekends have been jammed lately, but I was able to complete Rogue One's Pao in good time - thanks, again, to https://twitch.tv/MakerDeck for helping make making a community thing.
Couldn't find any super basic standing 10x15cm picture frames so I'm making my own. Also gives me the excuse to play around with Wood-PLA filament. :blahaj:
Picture in the frame can be found here: https://wallpapersafari.com/w/ZQDWmM
@rasterweb That's even more basic than I was going for, haha. 😅 Thank you for the link. I'll finish this anyway though, may go for something that specifically looks and feels good with the mentioned Wood-PLA.
@Omega Nö, der druckt gerade einen weiteren Prototypen eines Gehäuses für einen Minicomputer (Rock Pi 4C+). Fand das andere Gehäuse was ich letztens remixte eher suboptimal. 🤭
Läuft aktuell auch "nur" mit 150mm/s Geschwindigkeit und 5000mm/s Beschleunigung. Könnte ihn jeweils bis auf 300mm/s bei 7000mm/s Beschleunigung hochdrehen, das mache ich aber erst nachdem endlich die neuen Motortreiber da sind (darum ist der aktuell auch so laut).
Radiolaria are marine protozoa that build incredibly intricate glass-like skeletons from silica. We are working on an art project generating radiolaria inspired structures and #3dprinting them. Here’s one of our first attempts
@ZacBelado@nervous_jessica not these exact prints but theoretically we could print them in wax resin for casting. Might need a lot of sprues for all the spines though
I don't have enough time to keep up with all my projects: #3dprinting, #coding, #ClassQuiz, #smarthome, #school, #gaming and #tabletennis. I'd really appreciate having a helping hand regarding @classquiz who can take on some small(ish) issues I've been aware of for months, but at the time, I am focused on other projects (also in the regard of coding): There's @homeassistant and #FediPrint.
So, if anyone would be interested, I am here to help and would really appreciate some help for ClassQuiz. It has also gotten way more popular than I've ever expected: I am averaging at ~7k unique visitors per month on classquiz.de alone. There are people everywhere contacting me (okay not everywhere, but I'd say it's 5 per week on average). I mean, all are friendly, but that all takes time. But I also can't just turn them down. I just can't, as it's also a great feeling helping those people.
Now, I wanted to ask: Anyone out there interested in assisting me with #ClassQuiz? Preferrably in bug fixes, dependency updates, etc or just in assisting with communication?
I got my first spool prusament PLA and recognized some interesting behavior. After each print, I have to pull out the filament and snip off 7-8 mm of material cause it inflates during the cool down of the printer inside the extruder.
I know that silk PLA inflates but only outside the nozzle.I thought about heatkreep but this would also happen during the print which does not happen in my case🤔
This only happens with prusament, all others don't🤷
If you scroll Mastodon often enough, you'll find plenty of detailed examples of "the banality of evil."
But I think this may have topped them all.
Someone created a #3DPrinting of #LEGO bricks made with tiny spikes, so they're extra painful to step on.
Today’s quick 3d print of a “pill placer" for our old dog. Big enough for the capsules he has to take 3x a day and hopefully more accurate and less intrusive than my fingers, with less chance of a munched finger.
Wife wanted the ability to take unit apart for cleaning, which first design wasn't well suited for. This one is just two parts, super easy to print and assemble. I need to make the ring a bit bigger and then I'll post it to Printables.
Manyfold v0.67.0 is out, and introduces optional anonymous usage tracking so that we know many instances there are. This will be really useful to us, so please turn it on if you can! We're excited to see how many of you are out there! ❤️
We've made the system as private and transparent as we possibly can, including a custom super-forgetful data API. There's a breakdown of how it all works at https://manyfold.app/sysadmin/tracking.html.
The next release of Manyfold will include OPTIONAL anonymous usage tracking, purely so that we can count how many people are running it.
This is OFF BY DEFAULT, and all the information that's sent and stored is shown in the UI before you turn it on. We've tried to be as minimal, clear and up-front as possible.
#Plasbeams photo box update: yeah, this didn't work quite as hoped. At over 2.5kg, this thing has a will of its own, and enough weight to pull the bearing hinge assemblies apart and turn the whole thing into an uncooperative plastic octopus.
I think with anchors that slide over the hinges at full extension, and a careful order of operations, this can still be assembled; more likely I will need to swap the hinges for static brackets, and find another method for breakdown and storage. #3DPrinting
@tylermumford just regular Bambu Basic PLA. Which apparently is fine (for indoor pots). BUT I’m still going to paint/seal it partly for aesthetics and partly because of the design of the pot.
@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.
