I hate to admit it (because refiling was a joy of my life for over a decade)... but now that:
My kids are grown, so I don't need to print color photos very often (almost never)
I've been way more focused on 3D printing
I got such a great deal on my color laser printer, I just use that for color...
Unfortunately the company that we used for our additional search option and newsletter has closed-shop :(
We've got a pretty good solution for replacing the newsletter (relatively easy), but finding a search option that is better than current... is tricky.
... if only we had the funds of...
I don't think I've ever had a clog before... maybe in the early days?
... of course, always printing with a .6 or larger nozzle helps avoid them a bit more than .4 :)
I've definitely had a wide degree of experience with different manufacturers and batches of PLA! I think this is probably why Prusa went to so much trouble with their filament to track and supply all the details about each and every roll!
Fortunately, 99% of the stuff I print doesn't require a...
Huh, really? I think I've pretty much been with only two (others I've tested for a day or two), but I did Tinkercad for about 3-4 years, and then about a year or so ago started using OnShape.
... of course, maybe you only have two hats? LOL!
Wait, am I reading this right? That you think that...
I'm a HUGE fan of the TeachingTech youtuber, and I really enjoy designing with OnShape.
He's done a BRILLIANT job with his tutorial series that I've been following along with:
Here's the 2nd video in the series where he's creating basic parts. I'm at video 4 and have learned some really...
Spam definitely comes in waves and it's a constant cat/mouse battle to keep spammers at bay, but not blocking legit users.
We have a lot of great systems in place that keep out about 99% of the attempts at spam. It's actually quite amazing to see the backend logs that show how many people (and...
Yup, I'm impatient, like to print fast, and am usually fine trading off quality for speed.
That being the case, this hack is RIGHT up my alley!
I just need to buy a few 0.8 volcano nozzles and I should be good to go!
(oh, and print a new extended fan duct)
Wow! It's stuff like this that makes me have more faith in humanity. Such smart creativity out there.
(would be fun to go to one of those events someday)
While tempting, a few things held me back:
I'd wait for the 2nd iteration / version (maybe a bit after the kickstarter has completed / shipped) for the software to be fully fleshed-out and bugs squished.
While it does a lot of cool automated stuff... there are some things I like to do manually...
I've been following this guy's AMAZING build, and it finally came together in the video below.
I don't see any cooling... and I'm curious how this works with such HUGE thick lines of hot plastic that probably take forever to solidify.
Ugh, I'm just not patient enough to watch any live-streams. I'm a fan of the shorter curated (script, editing, etc.) videos.
One of my FAV 3D youtube peeps did this great review. He has a VERY strict policy on stuff that is sent to him for reviews, and does a good job:
