Tell your friend in a dictorial country that Lemmy.ml has pro dictorial leanings and is probably not the best instance for someone who is feeling oppressed.

For strength there are some decent GID PETG options. Glow for all these is pretty good with regards to intensity but poor for duration. Be ready to replace your brass nozzle a little sooner than you thought. Using a oxbidian nozzle and it seems to take the beating well.

I printed a sunglass case sorta like this but way less engineered. Mine also has exposed magnets but curious if you considered embedding them into the print with just a couple bridging layers printed over them? I’ve seen magnet cases like this eventually have the magnet overcome the glue and pull out.

Yes. Advise against doing what I did which is getting weirdly agile with modeling in the slicer at the cost of making cad software less desirable to learn. I finder Tinker cad pretty limiting and personally I can do more in slicer than I can with tinkercad. I do like Mattercontrol which is free, easier to use, and more powerful than tinkercad.

Interesting. If they weren’t patent trolls before, they certainly are now!

I wonder if this is all that’s stopping this technique though? IANAL, but it sure seems like a slicer could release this and if stratasys tried to sue them, they might have a hard time given all these patent errors.

Watch out. Luxotica going to place a hit on you.

The USA is truly an evil empire.

Recommend this. Have a similar setup and you can 3d print spools and order bearings for them. That being said my direct drive filament feeder on my prusa is quite strong. As long as you make smooth curves with your bowden tube it should be ok.

The toys held up under the abuse right? The toys?

They look great. Couldn’t you have just done a filament switch for the stems though?

It’s a 3d printer glued to a roomba! If you want plastic pieces of crap all over your floors just have kids!

Looks even better lit up like that!

Are we being denied a picture of it lighting up?!

Neat. What plastics lack in absorbancy, this might make up for by having wells where condensation could drain into. Could also prove a veritable mold farm I suppose. Might try this with tpu as mesh layer to reduce slipperiness.

Satin for the win. Use it for almost everything. It’s very versatile. For tpu I still use smooth with glues tick and every once in awhile if I’m having first layer issues or base warping issues, I’ll swith a PETG or pla print to smooth with gluestick (magigoo) 95% of everything else I love satin

Don’t assume it was an action you should avoid in the future. Try the “. ML” instance perhaps, but I think these ask lemme channels are bottom of the barrel for mods. It’s just a power trip for them and these “ask” forums are a transient population without a strong sense of community. I’d chalk it up to some bad luck with a grumpy mod and move on.

Neat. I feel like I’ve missed out on how important it is to have a complex device to hold my wrenches and screw drivers.

As someone that has never sharpened a chisel, I have no clue how this thing would be used from the description or pictures. Not that you need to pander to me, but if interested in a broader audience, I feel like a video would be very helpful here.

Interesting. Important for balancing? Or does the signal reception really depend on that much precision? I’m Suprised to learn that either way.

Yeah, definite neato factor but by eyeball at least I feel like I could do that bend by hand within a mm tolerance of this. Hard to imagine this precision is needed. Makes sense if mass producing these I guess.
