- Comment on MIT Demonstrates Fully 3D Printed, Active Electronic Components 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I agree completely. I don’t think the tech as-is should be being priced at all. What I’m saying is, even if this product does come to fruition, it likely will still be incredibly expensive compared to normal filament, but the amount one would need to use in a project is very small comparatively.
- Comment on MIT Demonstrates Fully 3D Printed, Active Electronic Components 2 weeks ago:
Of course that’s insanely expensive compared to our economy packs of standard PLA, but consider how much conductive filament one would need in comparison to normal filament for a project.
I’m aware that everything is in the realm of hypotheticals and prototypes, but even if the final product is significantly more expensive than standard filament, it’s not like you’ll need to be able to print entire parts out of it, just the electric traces.
- Comment on Cable self clipper 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t looked to see if one already exists.
But, like someone else said, this would be relatively easy to model.
I would go about it in a different way; here’s a quick drawing:
Make the loop for the plug side slightly smaller than the diameter of the cable so it’s a super snug fit, and the other side with a large enough gap that you can easily push the cable through it.

- Comment on Printing fine details without the tool crossing the part? 3 weeks ago:
It’s been a little while since I’ve printed anything that needed specific settings like this, but I’m pretty sure that Cura’s combing/ avoid printed areas settings will do this for you. Though I don’t have any experience with one wall thickness parts and this setting.

It says that around 5000 schools had the program, so roughly 7-8% of people between 25-35 probably did it for school.

There’s a couple of surprising ones in there. “Dumpster” was changed for other reasons, but I didnt know it was a name brand.

I swear that happened with another company
It happened to a number of companies. Flip Phone, Laundromat, Trampoline, Escalator… all used to be protected names.

When I change my filter, I stick a gloved finger inside the new oil, run it around the inside of the filter, and call it good. I haven’t blown up any motors yet.

Reading this comment made something click and now I feel dumb.
When looking at these cars with top mounted oil filters, I’ve always thought “gee, that must be annoying, every time you change the filter it’s gonna dump oil all over the place!”
The filter is empty. It dumped oil all over the inside of the engine. Where it’s 'sposed to be.

The site the article was written for is irrelevant to the community it is posted in. There’s dozens of communities that are aimed towards this kind of content, full of people that want to see it, but for some reason people choose the shitpost community to try to start discussion on something they take seriously.

I understand the rules of the community (everything goes), but God damn am I tired of seeing political news in the shitposting/ meme communities.

Hey, nice catch. One of the kid’s hands looks like it has a morphed double finger, while the other one looks like it has the crease of a 6th finger at the bottom of the image.

Emily is my favorite. She’s got some really fun original ideas, and watching her videos perfectly captures that “it works!” feeling when you’re working on something that really shouldn’t work.

- Comment on What could cause this botched surface? 1 month ago:
It looks to me like your printer is printing on slightly melted plastic. I don’t use orca or a Bambu, so I don’t know if you’re able to do this, but I would try printing that section slower, or changing the minimum layer time. It looks like that’s a small cross section so it’s probably finishing the layer and starting the next before the previous one has cooled down.

Yeah that’s the only reason I don’t plan on getting one of these types of devices. I’ve got giant hands and anything that fits in my pocket like that is going to require me to angle my thumbs nearly against my palms to use the sticks 😭

I remember your first post. Glad that you are still working on putting this workshop together. Excited to read about what you come up with.
If I remember correctly, you use a 3d scanner to get close-enough measurements of your workspace, and design around that? Is there any chance of us getting some pictures of your completed space once things are buttoned up, or would it be too much of a privacy concern? I’m super into confined, efficient workspaces and I’d love to see what kind of solutions you’ve come up with for your specific needs.

Sounds like a plan!
If you have the time, check out a “intro to Klipper” video or something similar, just to get an idea of how useable it is, see if you’re interested. I’m here if you have any questions 👍🏽
- Comment on Motherboard swap! 4 months ago:
Is there any advantage to going the klipper route?
The advantages are innumerable of you are a tinkerer (it looks like you are). If you just want your printer to print stuff and that’s that, marlin is fine, but if you want to get serious about tuning and modifying your printer, Klipper is an inevitability.
Think about the QOL improvement that octoprint provided over running your SD card back and forth from PC to printer. Klipper is that x1000. Write macros to automate things like filament swaps, chamber heating, build plate clearing. Change every aspect of any behavior of the printer by modifying a .cfg file (rather than recompiling marlin firmware.bin files). There’s plugins for Cura to send your g-code directly to the printer (with octoprint you save the file to your PC then upload to octo, with Klipper there’s just a button in Cura to send directly to the printer and start printing).
In short, the only reason to use marlin is “it came on the printer and I don’t have the knowledge to set up Klipper”. Klipper is just better in every way. It’ll take you a couple hours to set up (you have a popular with lots of premade configurations available online), and from the moment you get it going, you’ll wonder what took you so long.
PM me if you have any questions.
- Comment on Why won't this slice? 4 months ago:
I don’t think that Cura is smart enough to cut STL files apart like that. My guess is that a program like blender would be best to do this, make a shape the size of your printer’s build volume (or slightly smaller), put the part you want to print inside of the shape, then remove everything else.
I’m not familiar with blender but that’s the work flow I would approach with.

Energy drinks are counter intuitive.
This argument is ignoring that energy drinks a. have the same caffeine (usually more) than the coffee you offer as an alternative, b. don’t generally use sugar as a marketing term promising energy, and rather c. tend to offer sugar free alternatives to come across as healthier
