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.
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
@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.
