This would be a good one to sand and polish if you are ever inclined. All filaments can be polished. PLA is only second best to ABS/ASA in my experience. PLA will hold a shine that is about the same texture as factory Lego bricks.

Abs/Asa can also be lightly sanded and then vapor smoothed.
j4k3@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They are very different processes. Vapor smoothing is more of a hack than anything. It traps the solvent in the part for a very long time. Like using acetone on auto body trim and bumpers that are mostly ABS will get you fired from any shop. It will bleed and ruin the top coat an clear coat as it vents from underneath them. In my testing, acetone greatly alters the structural strength as well. Polishing maintains or in some cases improves the mechanical performance of parts. Even for cosmetics, the polished part will look like it was injection molded while the inconsistency and rounded corners of vapor smoothing look very DIY. Polishing can be done poorly, and I am an actual finishing pro, so YRMV.

I feel like this is a really good way to loose the remote in the basement

Bloop bloop bloop.
Why does that turtle have the remote?

You know these already exist, right… No need to 3d print one…

It’s rewarding to make your own things
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just because of your silly comment, I’m going to make my own model of this, even though someomnr already has, and Im going to print it out. Why? Because those two things will cost less and take less time than ordering one.
chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, good idea. Let’s use more plastic for useless fucking things. Or, maybe just go the fucking hardware store and buy it.

Here’s hoping you threw a little fillet on the top outer rim. That model was begging for a bit of a rounded edge.

Put a motion sensor in the pipe wired to a speaker that makes the warp noise each time it’s triggered.

Even simpler, an IR opto switch

Pressure switch in the bottom maybe?
