Settings, mostly. The layering is always there, but how visible it is depends on the layer height. Both the Depresso and Spyro were made with 0.2mm layer height, which is a good compromise between looks-good/prints-fast. If you want something that looks really nice, you’d go to 0.08mm layer height (the lowest this particular printer can go with this particular nozzle size). The print would take around 2.5 times longer with 0.08mm layer height.
Material also affects this, but PLA generally is the easiest to print with and looks among the best visually. If the print speed were really high it would affect it as well, but it was well under the maximum speeds.
This is a FDM printer which basically lays one layer of heated plastic over another, there are also SLA printers which can go much lower layer heights and thus the prints are visually much better, though use-case of such printers are limited to pretty looking pieces, you can’t really make anything functional with them.
Edit: If you want the prints to look really great, you’re gonna have to do some post-processing anyway, like sanding down the uglier parts and painting it with some acrylic paint. That way you avoid the visible layers as well.
Bambu Lab A1 and mostly PLA for material (aka the easiest one to print).
When I need something flexible, I use some TPU. And when I need something that will hold for a long time, I use PETG.
I make all kinds of stuff, mostly toys and household items, sometimes I design something myself (generally the stuff that’s meant to be useful, not pretty), sometimes I use models other people created.
Currently I’m printing a puzzle for kids.
Edit: a recent print of mine:
We use .lh, short for localhost. For local network services I use service discovery and .local. And for internal stuff we just use a subdomain of our domain.
Heh, indeed I wrote a proper code to calculate the day, it’s called Zeller’s congruence and feels like magic.
What algorithm did you use?
Thank you!
Just a calendar to hang on the fridge. To be fair, my main reason for doing it was to see if it’s possible. Do you have any other use cases in mind?
It doesn’t currently, don’t know if it’s possible like that. But you can input your own holidays, which is what I did for the screenshots.
Aren’t they still considered the best?
Looks really great, thanks for sharing!
It wouldn’t. Source: I’ve got one and it sucks.
Nice! Is that the model I made, or did you recreate it yourself?
Isn’t that pretty much the consensus that vinyls have the best sound…?
I sometimes manually push new filament through the bowden to finish a print on my MINI. No retraction once it reaches the extruder, though.
I don’t and I don’t want to, I hate it when everyone makes their own standard which means there is no real standard to speak of. There’s a xkcd exactly for that.
I’m using ActivityPub and that’s what I’ll be using as long as I feel it makes sense.
They could have made ActivityPub better, instead they made an incompatible protocol.
Stringing.
I’ve had issues with wet PLA filament that were solved immediately by drying it.
Many, many things. But the most ambitious is… this. I haven’t yet had the courage to even start tackling it.
Okay, that’s next level.
