@rasterweb Sure enough, now I see that you can click on the "Last edited" and read the original. My eyes have always glossed right over that. Good to know!
Kinda like most normal people gloss over the misused word... You could have said "I'm hoping this radicalizes the kid and in ten years he eschempses the evils of capitalism." And it would have been perfectly clear.
There was a video comparing the Sovol #SV08 (GPL3) to a Troodon kit. The creator concluded that one place the SV08 definitively had a leg up was that it was open source.
About a week later the same creator posted a google drive link with the STEP file for the Troodon saying "Look, Troodon is open source."
Open up the STEP file in FreeCAD and the license metadata: "All rights reserved."
@rasterweb ah! I was trying to figure out if that’s a silicone casing gone wrong… and wondering why is the nozzle oozing sideways… it is essentially a large lump of failed print ☹️☹️☹️
It's the little things. Fixed a broken part from my wife's favorite mug. I have justified the printer to the spouse once again. #3dprinting#BambuLab#ondsel#freecad
Some #3Dprinting today. I haven't printed #TPU in ages, but need some of these little bumpers to support a glass top on a patio table.
TPU is a slightly soft/flexible urethane plastic that can be tough to print (for me anyway). Good results today tho'. The advice to print hotter, slower and a little thicker than PLA seems to work pretty well.
The two-part approach worked well for me to be able to squeeze these into mounting holes. As one piece they don't deform enough to get thru the hole.
@ottaross Foam rubber (actually mainly plastic nowadays) is aerated is it not? You would have to have a material that would chemically reproduce the "bubbling" process, and you would have to print it smaller and let it expand as the bubbles are produced?
Behold my ridiculous, impractical, but functional temporary #3dPrinted#bike kickstand replacement. 🤦
For some reason, my kickstand broke off again (the two kickstand-plate welds broke off at the bottom of the bike, wtf) and this is a long weekend in Germany, so until Monday my fav bike shop is closed, so no chance getting it fixed until then.
So #3dPrinting to the rescue: fire up #SolveSpace and throw some design together, print it and voilà, we have ourselves a shitty little replacement.
@beandev Thanks! 🙃 In hindsight I think a dovetail-style mechanism to slot-in from below would have been better, probably even fully 3d-printable and much less hassle to put on and remove. Oh, well 🤷
