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.
I found a 3d printable version, but after a quick reality check it became obvious they made it for a totally different sized pill. Also needs to be at least 2x that long for our dog if we are going to stand any chance. I’m whipping something up in Fusion 360. Lots of chamfers on the edges and sturdy enough to survive the molars of doom.
The pill is a soft capsule that falls apart after the 3rd failed try of getting it to the back of his throat just using fingers, which barely reach.
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.
This 3D print made a fine addition to my collection. BigBricks (from @Thangs3D) released a General Grievous Star Wars "LEGO" figure. Took a bit of effort, but the payoff was worth it. https://than.gs/m/1059394?image=1230070
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
Hunter found what he was looking for! This Star Wars action figure from The Bad Batch wound up finding The Stones to pass along to the Mondoshawan. Model designed by @Playactiontoys, printed live on https://twitch.tv/MakerDeck (of course)!
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
I finished a new three color print today… contemplating doing a whole series of balls. Another relief print on handmade paper created with 3D printed printing plates.
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 ✨
