suddenly i had a revelation: my nozzle sock i added to my mini may be blocking the part cooling fan (which i've heard is already a bit on the weak side)
stupid if true (but would explain their lack of a default sock) (i need to get one that fits better just in case)
i don't have the energy to actually test this (question mark)
this PLA is stringing so badly and i've lowered the temperature a LOT based on the temperature tower (down at 195 for a decorative non-structural item) plus gave it some time in the dehydrator
anyone have opinions on or experience with matterhackers standard PLA? #3dprinting
#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.
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!
Update on our lone chicken: she's found a way to escape fence (and return), she's made a dirt bath outside my office window, she just realized it's pouring rain and could someone THINK ABOUT THE POOR CHICKEN, HELP??!!
Printing a "new and improved" switch cover for the ambulance 🚑. Last version had the wrong switch exposed for "beep" (backup warning). I've added labels & chamfered holes now too. "fan" is for the Heat / AC system in the rear compartment.
The unlabeled hole on the left is for the "Sequence Load Manager" switch, which I'd cover if i could, but it has a big old vertical toggle thing on it for no obvious reason & I don't care enough to track down & install a replacement switch.
Blown away by my little $400 FDM printer.
Models by BriteMinis. Terrain by Dungeon Blocks. I used GW paints. Printed using a Bambu Lab A1 Mini.
Designed a little scenario of a goblin mob raiding an inn. The player characters start off a little drunk before sobering up. Hoping I can run this adventure (with a custom ruleset) in the coming weeks.
#3Dprinting has revolutionized manufacturing in a variety of ways, and now researchers are learning how it can improve the performance of energetic materials – like explosives and rocket propellants
Sinds 2019 is er een kleine (maar fijne) Nederlandse Discord chat community rondom domotica en alles wat er bij komt kijken. Van #HomeAssistant tot #Homey, slim omgaan met #Energie, en zelfs #3DPrinting
I dedicate this model to those who love Zelda TotK and have access to a multi-material 3D printer... That might indeed appeal to a rather niche audience 😅
I designed it using Open Source software only: GIMP for cleaning bitmap images, Inkscape for converting them into vector graphics, OpenSCAD for assembling them as 3D volumes, and OrcaSlicer for sending the result to the 3D printer.
Do you know any content creators in the 3d printing space (or are you one)? If so, please send them a link to https://manyfold.app and see if they'd like to take a look. We'd love to get some youtube creators reviewing the tool, or some 3d designers using it to publish their work, and we're happy to help if needed!
Weeknote W18 is out, with an insight into all the #Accessibility work that went into Manyfold last week, and what's still to come. Carousels, skip links, language markers, and a massive rewrite of the 3d renderer, all included.
I reached out to the folks who bought my filament stackers on Printables & one of them was like "actually it's too big for my printer". I hadn't specified the dimensions initially.
After a little back and forth the's got a Prusa MK4 which apparently has a max of 210mm in one dimension!
Spools are 200mm! So, now I've modeled one with 3mm walls 🙀 which can't be printed with a 0.6mm nozzle, & has NO space for infill, & teeeny front alignment pins. 😢
This.... This does NOT feel good to me. I can't add this to the collection. If it prints well I'll send it to the guy if he wants it but... yeah. I can't sell this. I wouldn't trust it to stack MY filament more than a few heigh.
