- Comment on The destruction of 3D printing: Bloomberg is behind it 1 week ago:
So airgap an older version of Klipper…
- Comment on Biggest print so far. About 42 hours and 2.6kg of filament. No, I don't have room for a table saw, how did you know? 2 weeks ago:
Tbf, 2.6kilos of bulk china PLA is probably cheaper than the sheet of plywood and glue+screws it would have taken to build that.
- Comment on Better filament than ABS 3 weeks ago:
Pretty much this. ASA will still warp a little but it has half the shrinkage of ABS, is UV stable, and it gives off a lot less voltatiles while printing.
- Comment on Any ideas why the top roof warped like it did? 4 weeks ago:
Support gap too wide, causing model to lift off the supports- Or the bottom and sides warped up, causing them to bow inward and buckle that thin section.
I agree with other commenters, this seems like turning it 90 so the back face could sit flat on the build plate would likely have a lot better results. If that is not an option, lower the support Z-gap and increase the support interface layer density/decrease line spacing. Make sure your filament is dry. Decrease your cooling fan speeds.
- Comment on What software are you using for CAD/modeling? 4 weeks ago:
100% this. Ive been through 4 different cad packages professionally and every single one of them is terrible bad awful garbage. Pick your flavor of garbage and get with it.
After a few months of forcing myself to learn it, FreeCAD really isn’t that bad. It’s miles better than Creo.
- Comment on Server randomly locked up. Trying to find out why 3 months ago:
The reset button is basically just a signal to the CPU/BIOS that it should wipe memory and begin the boot process from scratch. If it was not working, that indicates the CPU was hard locked and not responding to any sort of input, not just an os fault The power button sends an actual trigger signal to the PSU through the ATX connector so it bypasses any mainboard lock.
Random shit happens, see if it does it again.
My go to for random stability issues is to always run a full deep memtest to look for bad RAM and then a CPU stress test to see if it’s a random thermal or core issue. More often than not I find stability problems just with these two steps. - Comment on My country's police just busted a dangerous 3d printed weapons manufacturer. 4 months ago:
I’m sure they’ll be introducing legislation that makes owning your own means of production onerous if not illegal within a week or two. Can’t be having citizens realize they can make their own replacement parts or consumer items!
- Comment on How cold is too cold for storing in a garage? 5 months ago:
yeah most all of them are good to -30c easy, as with most electronics, just make sure it stays dry and let it sit inside to acclimate for a few hours before you turn it on.
when very cold rubber and wire insulation might crack if moved, but sitting stationary it’s fine.

The more they delete, the more they can resell every few years as “new” while charging ever more exorbitant prices for!
