Hey folks,...

Cassini - FOSS to send files wirelessly to Elegoo printers (github.com)

This was recently published on GitHub. I didn’t try it myself since none of my printers are wireless, but I figure people may be interested to know it exists. We’re still far from parity, but FOSS coverage of resin printers gets closer to coverage of FDMs!

question regarding illuminated prints

Hi. I was thinking of 3d printing some illuminated figurines, and i was wondering about what settings would be good for light to penetrate. I was thinking of positioning the light source underneath, pointing up the figurine. I've printed a test cube with really low infill density, but when I'm shining the light trough it, i can...

PSA: Check your email for a free kg of PLA filament from Elegoo if you placed an August order for a Neptune 4 Pro in the US

They sent out an email update on the shipping delay (shipment to the US warehouse was held up in customs) along with a coupon code for a free roll of filament with free shipping as compensation.

If you're printing display pieces in PLA, I find that using 4 outer shell layers plus lightning infill will give you much sturdier models that are easier to remove supports from without breaking, and use a lot less filament than standard settings.

Maybe everybody else has been doing this all along, but I often find myself just using the default settings (which in Bambu Slicer is 2 shell layers, and I think it's also 2 in Cura) along with a bunch of infill that doesn't do much for it structurally. I wouldn't necessarily use these settings for anything load-bearing, but...

I can't figure out why my layers look misaligned on the z-axis

On my Anycubic Mega S, I've had this problem since day one. Lines that should be straight seem to jitter on the z-axis. It's most noticeable on thin pieces with straight lines like this tall cylinder I printed to get an illustration of what's going on. It does show up on everything I print though no matter how shallow the angle....

Absolute flow calibration via Lidar added to Bambulab x1c (wiki.bambulab.com)

Very interested to see how well this works.

Advice for ERRF? food, hotel, etc.

ERRF (east coast rep rap festival in Maryland) coming up and it’ll be my first time. Any advice for the area? I’m driving in. Good hotels? Food? Things I should visit?

Everyone in Canada should enter this 3d printing contest (3dprintingcanada.com)

Hey folks, just wanted to bring the communities attention to a giveaway contest hapenning right now, theres only 9 days left to win some nice looking prizes so check it out!...

Felt like designing a 3D printer

To be clear it’s neither economical nor fast, my design has flaws but it’s mine. For the rest of you guys I recommend building the Rook by Rolohaun 3D!...
