  • Great interview, this tech demo is going to neat to hear the results.

    I was really curious how they fit an airlock in the capsule, but then they started talking about the whole thing being depressurized.

    Then using the EVA suit as the IVA suit?

    They’re really going all in on this, hope nothing goes wrong, cause there’s not a lot of room for error. Even with all the redundancy.

    Would be outstanding if they are really able to service Hubble after they get the tech worked out.




  • Skeptical of this, while the dovetail is a good joint in woodworking, it’s not really the best joint for most applications. Even drawer boxes.
    Modern glues are so good, that just a normal box joint or even a rabbit joint is actually stronger when properly made.

    While you can control the layer lines and orientation to some degree, I’m thinking that a dovetail, in real designs, would be extremely hard to implement. Peg and hole with CA glue is most likely better when splitting parts that are too big for a bed.



  • Check out the youtube channel Frankly Built. He’s got a ton of cosplay How-Tos, especially helmets. He has some good suggestions about print speed, printer types, supports, and post processing, which will all impact what settings you use.

    If you can afford it, sometimes printing the bulk of the helmet with a big 0.6mm or 0.8mm nozzle, and then print the high detail components with a resin printer.

    But also, depending on your setup, a high quality, super fast enclosed XY Bambu Labs printer at 0.4mm will print faster than an old Ender 3 bed slinger 0.6mm printer, and have less post processing.
