- Comment on Anyone have tips for working with peppers in your brews? 1 day ago:
I have done it twice, with dried chili flakes.
First, we steeped various concentrations in water to try and find the right amount of heat. It won’t replace actual beer, and tastes like ass, but it’s a usable proxy. I tasted with friends with different heat tolerance and we found out that with the chilis we were using, 2g/l was the right amount.
Then we added the flakes at flameout and left them during fermentation.
The beer itself was great. It was a classic tripel, where the bell-peppery notes actually shone without taking front stage and played well with the sweetness. The heat was discreet as first, but there was a cumulative effect with every sip that made it seriously hot halfway down. It was amazing.
We tried to replicate it last year but it wasn’t as good or hot.

Yeah the most valuable skill when designing parts is to learn how to design for the process. Print orientation should be decided in the earliest stage, reinforcements to compensate for layer lines weakness should be baked in.
If it wasn’t for the groove, my first advice would have been to redesign the part so it could be printed sideways.

Yeah sure.
Something like that: Example
The triangular cross section would be much easier on the printer.

There are a few major issues with your design that we could fix to make it work.
- your feet connect to the frame at a right angle. You’re concentrating all the forces on a single layer line that would easily fail. Spread the forces by adding a fillet between the feet and the frame
- your vertical and free standing parts are waaaaay too thin. From empirical observation, I’d say anything free standing under 5mm thickness is guaranteed to fail. You could easily add bulk by using a triangular or U-shaped cross section. Not only the part will be much more solid, but also more stable while printing.
- As others have said, if you absolutely want to keep it thin, print the frame separately from the feet flat on the back so the forces are perpendicular to the layers. A V-shaped groove will print without supports. 45degs will be fine, depending on your printer you might event get away with shallower angles.
- if you want to keep it as a single part, you might consider printing it at 45 degrees from vertical. Layers would have much more surface area compared to the current flimsy ones, and you might even not need as much bulk as vertical printing. Most usual forces would be spread at 45 degrees too, which, while not ideal, would be much more solid than parallel from them.

Bold of you to assume McD’s patties are pure meat. Probably half the weight is extra fat and pink slime, so you can easily double that.

Yeah this one is much more recent.

There’s a Wine fork tweaked especially for Affinity that works amazingly well.

Have you tried recalibrating the probe? I had the same issue with my Sovol SV08 where no matter how much I tried, nothing would stick, until I recalibrated it.
Also, how long do you preheat before printing? Depending on the beds material things can move quite a bit with heat. Sometimes 0.01mm can make the difference between a successful and a failed print. Try heat soaking your bed and nozzle at working temperature for at least 1/2h before calibrating and printing to give time to everything to expand.

- Comment on Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at? 1 month ago:
TinkerCAD is ok for simple shapes and basic functional parts. It works by adding or subtracting simple shapes together (cubes, cylinders etc) to make more complex shapes. It’s quick, easy and instinctive but anything slightly more complex than a dozen shapes grouped together and/or iterative designs quickly become a time consuming nightmare. It’s like trying to format a magazine in Word.
FreeCAD (or Fusion, OnShape, SolidWorks or any “serious” CAD software) use a parametric workflow. You start with a technical drawing by setting shapes, dimensions, angles and relationships (“constraints”), extrude or revolve this shape to create a solid, then continue by drawing another sketch on a face and by adding more constraints. It has a much steeper learning curve, but once understood it’s much quicker and easier to build very complex shapes. Plus iterative designs are usually a breeze since everything is constrained together, so changing any dimension or angle in any sketch means the whole design will follow. It’s also trivial to add chamfers, filets, working with mirror and central symmetry etc. When designing functional parts, parametric design is the proper tool for the job.

Fuck fascist governments.
Seriously tho if you know a free image hosting site that doesn’t geo block (most of them seem to do because of fucking morons passing idiotic laws), I’m all ears
- Comment on I made a F1-style steering wheel for VR sim-racing from scratch 3 months ago:
Yeah by far, although I don’t consider it part of the build.
I actually started this build with a Thrustmaster T300RS in mind, but it took so long I upgraded to a Moza R9 partway 😅

Thanks!

I will try and write something down the line!

- Comment on What are the most useful things you've printed? 5 months ago:
I have literally printed hundreds of parts, most of them custom made.
From the top of my head:
- a box to transport extra Framework expansion cards
- custom hooks to attach luminous garlands to a tiled ceiling for my wedding
- custom attachments for various devices and tools
- kitchen and bathroom quality of life improvements
- a structure for my Volca mini-synths
- an ergo mech keyboard
- a 100% self designed F1-inspired sim racing wheel (WIP)
- etc.
- Comment on Sovol SV08 or Prusa MK4S 6 months ago:
The SV08 is a decent printer if you’re willing to tinker and regularly recalibrate the shit out of it. Sometimes it’s absolutely perfect after THE right calibration move. Sometimes it’s absolute shit and nothing prints properly and/or sticks to the bed and you need to recalibrate it. I’ve found that heat soaking it for at least 1/2h before each print and recalibrating the probe as soon as printing is slightly less than perfect helps a lot.
My takeways:
- Taco bed is a minor issue if you can properly probe.
- It’s FAST and the print volume is excellent
- Everything is automated and/or software controlled so fixing issues can be quite a nightmare if you’re used to all-manual troubleshooting (I come from an Ender3)
- Build quality is OK. It probably needs some costly upgrades to get to Voron-level (Stealthburner hotend, thick aluminium plate, enclosure etc.)
- The DIY upgrades ecosystem seems very active.
- Klipper+Mainsail are amazing
Get a Sovol if you’re a tinkerer and you want to maximize speed and build volume per currency unit.
Get a Prusa if you want a high quality printer out of the box.

Hey! Another .ee refugee here! Thank you all for keeping us alive in these trying times.
I really wish for here to be my long term home. If there is anything we can do to help on top of donations, I would be happy to participate :)
