It's aliiiive.

First of all I really really need to reprint its own head though, the green pieces (printed out of PC) are partially crumbling. Going to print new parts out of ASA or ABS, the current one should still work for those print jobs. Perhaps then I finally have a stable configuration and I can consider the modding project of this old machine done. Learned a lot.
#3DPrinting

Ive finally gotten around to printing a little half sized maquette of one of my Rampage models. Quite happy with how its turned out except the eyes were too small to print separate irises so he looks a little boss eyed #rampage #amiga #c64 #retrogaming #3dprinting #bambulabs

Quality products.

(Want to prevent the damn E3D V6 Volcano I bought a few years ago to spin in its socket every time I change the nozzle)

I'd like to 3D print a clip that connects two metal tubes of a wheel chair.

My requirements to the material are:

1. it must be usable outdoors (UV light, rain)

2. it should be stable up to 20 kg weight

3. one clip should cost less than 30 Euros (about 45 cm3)

Metal sintering seems too expensive. Could #PETG work? Maybe someone can point me in the right direction which material is suitable.

Omfg, I finally managed to separate the damn heatblock from the heatbrake and heat element. Looks like after a war. It doesn't have to look good though, but work. Couldn't care less about how awful it looks while doing so.
Now I just have to get the thermistor out of there so I can properly clean it from all the PETG that overflowed through those threads onto everything…

Well #3dprinting folks, it worked super well. I printed my own case for my phone as I needed one and didn't have one. Anyone know if TPU can be ironed for a smoother texture like PLA can? Other than that, I really like it and it's a functional print.

ByteDance and Carnegie Mellon researchers just announced PartCrafter, the first structured 3D generative model that jointly synthesizes multiple semantically meaningful and geometrically distinct 3D meshes from a single RGB image.

It turns a single photo into fully editable 3D parts in seconds.

All right, #3dprinting folks. SO Orca slicer is supposed to be the *perfect* end-all slicer. We're talking God's slicer. SO good that using anything else is a disgrace, a shameful act upon the very essence of 3d printing. Tell me why then that Orca slicer doesn't have a profile for TPU nor does any other slicer? Please, let me know because TPU is a common filament that people use and Orca Slicer is supposed to have everything, right? I'm literally navigating the menus and hearing, "button, button, button" using my screen reader with literally no context on what the buttons or controls or anything is at all just because literally every single Youtuber/fellow fan of 3d printing says it's the *absolute best, hands down* slicer ever created and no one need use anything else. I'm literally sending pictures of my screen to AI to read and explain to me, (so much for privacy which is the core of 3d printing) what is going on and what menu I'm in because absolutely *none* of the controls, buttons, edit boxes, combo boxes, panels, sliders, links or any other control out there are labeled for my screen reader to do its job and actually read to me where I'm at.
Please. I need some genuine advice on what to do to find the TPU preset which you would think would be there but somehow isn't.

I tried ironing the top of a print for the first time today and it’s only turned out okayish.

The infill pattern below it seems more visible than usual and I had to remove a bunch of accumulated filament from the outside of the nozzle.

I’m wondering if I need more solid top layers and a bit less flow.

Working on #3dprinting a thing

Taking a break from raging against the machine to talk about #TTRPG stuff.

World map for my #Fallout campaign is coming along. The way it's gonna work is I cut these chipboard hexagons, and each hex is going to have an "unexplored" and a "revealed" side. As players venture out into the world, they get to flip tiles as they explore.

Each tile is held in place with a simple interlocking 3d-printed hex holder I designed. That makes transporting the map really easy.

Frage an die #3dprinting bubble:
Ich drucke zum 1.Mal #PETG und habe das Problem, dass in die Support trees irgendwie zuviel Material reinkommt (normalerweise sind die ja komplett hohl). Woran könnte das liegen?

Mit PLA hab ich dieses Phänomen noch nie erlebt...
