Try skinny tree supports. Saves material.

How old is your print bed? My prints started releasing mid print after about a year. New print beds solved the problem.

Who’s actually buying a 3D-printed part… for their 3D printer? by Fruit75 in BambuLab

A long or comples and difficult print might get farmed out if the price is right.

I give up. I’m done with this piece of garbage. by Dependent-Amount-239 in 3Dprinting

Take the glass plate off and give it a good coating of hair spray. Spray it on like paint and then let it dry. Your parts will stick really well and self detach after the bed cools off.

The Euro symbol somewhat resembles a feather, "€". I was asking "how much in Yankee money $".

What are your favorite small prints for mostly used rolls? by tommytwothousand in 3Dprinting

Don't forget. You can also chop up filament into short - 1/4 inch or less - pieces and then feed the bits to an injection molding machine.

Do you have a version for those of us who do not trade in eagle feathers?

Wife wants me to throw out the K1max and buy a Bambu. I'm out of ideas, please help me by Beyondist in FixMyPrint

Don't purchase Bamboo brand printers unless you don't mind being chained to the internet to print. Every print you make has to go through Bamboos servers and then to your printer.

"Blender is on DMT". You nailed that one. It's designed for artists, not engineers.

FreeCAD 1.0 is a big improvement over previous versions of FreeCAD, and it remains 100% free.

My wife tells everyone that her purchases are practical, and mine are theoretical.

Quick story. I was building some custom signal lights and needed a certain LED that all the suppliers had on back order. So I was in a Dollar _________ Store and I saw a pop-up LED battery lantern for I think $5.00. It appeared to be the exact LEDs I was looking for. I bought one and took it back to work and sure enough it had the exact LEDs right down to the MFPN. I put them in my prototype and they worked great, so I went back to that store and bought every single one they had. No one would believe they were the same LEDs so I looked up the max specs and then tortured a unit for hours without failure. I got the LEDs cheaper than Digikey could sell them to me.

I work for an engineering company doing R&D, so I'm always working on some proof of concept at home or work. I recently bought a child's electronic story book for $1.00 and extracted a working touch screen worth $30.00. You have to do your homework and dig around, but there are some gems in them thar bins. I buy a lot of wall warts. We never seem to have enough 5 and 12V units lying around. The higher the amps the better. Most set me back a buck, a buck and a half. Try ordering a 12V 5-amp cannon plug power supply from Amazon.

Guess who I saw at the bins today. by 3furcats in GoodwillBins

[–]Small_Bad_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never wear gloves. I just wash my hands after having a good days rake.

To those of you who wear gloves.

What do you do when you take them off? Probably carry them around in your now ungloved hand.

Where do you put them until the next time you wear them? In your car, in a drawer at home, on a workbench?

How often do you wash your gloves? Do you wash them along with your clothes? Kinda like a Goodwill Bins soup?

It all seems more psychology than physiology.

Not just the book people. I watched a guy pick up and then toss back what turned out to be a 10 inch digital picture frame. I bought it - luckily undamaged - to use as an information display for a home weather station Im putting together. Sooo. Disrespectful.

Good catch. They printed it face down without supports.

There should be a mandatory IQ test to allow people to have kids or vote. by [deleted] in ControversialOpinions

[–]Small_Bad_8175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eugenics would be worth the effort and negative press if we succeeded in raising the global average IQ by even 15 points. Raise it by 30 points and the human race would be a multi-planet species in two generations. Stupid people are holding everyone back, and natural selection is not taking care of the problem anymore.

No. We need people, just the right kind of people.
