They are all versions of Slic3R.
- Comment on Bambu Slicer now includes Ads 1 week ago:
Creality’s new Klitek printers are imminent. Multiple tool heads, push pull feed for TPU.
Bambu upped the game but the competition is coming back better.
Push pull TPU feed + Siraya tech glass fiber TPU is going to allow truly strong anisotropic prints.

You wanna share the G code for that?
- Comment on I bought Trek earrings (image in post) on Etsy and the seller included a hand drawn note. 1 week ago:
It’s a design made by a laser cutter. Maybe handmade refers to the two hands that were made.

Wearable continuous glucose monitoring. Not just for type 2 diabetics, but people on the road to becoming diabetic if the don’t put down the Mountain Dew.

Three walls of PETG should be water tight. if not, you are under extruding.

Voron is good for very fast prints that look like shit. But faster!

- Comment on What 3D printer should I buy? 3 weeks ago:
I would advise to not pre order any printer from any company. Creality in particular has a history of promising specs they never actually deliver. Software is going to be important.
I had several Creality printers in the past, they were all 80% solutions. I also manage a large university print farm and am not a fan of Prusa. The biggest problem in the consumer industry is too many models with very short sales lifespans because buyers want gimmicks.
There are several patents expired to affect consumer printers, including tool changers and heated print chambers, essential for engineering grade plastics.
Lastly, Bambu established that the YouTube review process is corruptible, so wait for real world feedback from real people, not infomercials disguised as reviews. Those channels are windsocks, after a year of hyping Bambu they all now slam it to regain “credibility”.

The problem with Bambu’s Apple philosophy: when the consumable parts start wearing out, the " I just wanna press a button" consumers will abandon.
- Comment on What 3D printer should I buy? 3 weeks ago:
I would wait to see what the New Creality printers coming in Q3 look like in good reviews.
That is just an ad, from the company famous for overpromising, but they have multiple tool heads, CMYK color mixing, dual nozzle sizes and TPU push pull filament feeding. Nice to see someone taking TPU seriously, unlike Bambu.
The consumer industry is now headed to multiple tool heads at every price level, AMS waste is unacceptable. I would consider two proper toolheads essential.

Sure you do.

The baking soda catalyzes the CA polymerization by dropping the pH.
- Comment on (UPDATE: a different issue??) What are these burn marks on my failed 3D print? 4 weeks ago:
How are you “scrubbing” the build plate? Soap and water is all you need.
Re-check your nozzle clearance to 0.18mm and use some glue stick. it it’s still not sticking, you plate is not coming up to temp.

- Comment on Installed a 40amp car charger 2 months ago:
Slower charging is better for the battery anyway.
- Comment on Installed a 40amp car charger 2 months ago:
The charger breaker should be in a separate heavy duty pony box, not a breaker on the main box.
Codes are way behind what they need to be for EV chargers, people are putting in 40A high duty cycle circuits on the cheap. That’s a lot of energy flow when things start arcing.

If you want to charge anything in under a day.
- Comment on FreeCAD 1.1 is out 2 months ago:
Ok. So apparently I did get crashes and never realized it. Thanks Lemmy!
- Comment on FreeCAD 1.1 is out 2 months ago:
I recommend watching that channel, because that guy is faster in FreeCAD than I could ever be in Fusion360.
- Comment on FreeCAD 1.1 is out 2 months ago:
It even does Finite Element Analysis and a separate mode for architecture.
- Comment on FreeCAD 1.1 is out 2 months ago:
I’m at about 130 models in FC 1.0 and have yet to see a crash. There are things TinkerCAD can do that Fusion 360 cannot, like import and edit a large STL.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 months ago:
This summarizes everything wrong with Trek:
Why is she running a ship like she’s in a vegan cafe in Portland? Why does she need glasses hundreds of years in the future?
What happens to all the straight people in the future? a killer virus?
