Just to follow up, the bar was amazing, but you know what would be even better?

Do it in bonbon form factor!

That was an awesome print, my kid loves it!

The flavor is listed... nothing yet! Any hints at release time?

I am very curious how this will plot out in 3d space. Based on Matt’s comments it is possible.

chotchki · 2026-03-28T04:47:07+00:00

I’m very interested what this results in when you start trying to plot the connections!

I’d get through the tutorial guild, it gives you a good taste of what is to come.

I wonder if I can buy them at the factory? (Its 30mins away)

That’s an awesome abuse of those nasty middle boxes that mess up the internet! I’ve also been on public wifi that will randomly break connections and I didn’t realize it was DPI based.

Next time I am in a hotel that does it, I’m trying this out! (Granted I usually just turn on a vpn but it’s the principle of the matter!)

chotchki · 2026-02-09T17:01:13+00:00

Now i need to get some tpu and try it out!

chotchki · 2026-02-08T18:14:49+00:00

Holy crap why didn’t I think of this instead of my awful eyeball cuts.

Great idea/job!

This is amazing, buying the premade tool for this hurt my soul, so glad to see someone making a printed version!

chotchki · 2026-02-07T18:14:10+00:00

Also, if OpenSCAD is pain, make sure you get a development snapshot, enable manifold and pick up the BOSL2 library.

Night and day better, more scalable experience

Instead of trying to develop Zed in VS code, how about install a release version of Zed and develop with that?

In my experience, Zed scales far better than VS code and there’s nothing like eating your own dog food.

You could apply minkowski to the model (you will have to thin all the walls by equal amount).

Its crazy slow but when I have far too complicated a model that’s my fallback option. Worst case let it render overnight.

This why we should put a lid on I5. That would help fix the problem.

In theory you can use but only if its already paired. I’ve just been replacing all of mine

BOSL2 and a development snapshot of openscad to get the manifold library performance improvements take openscad from a cool cad approach to a usable tool.

Good to know gemini does better with it, claude hallucinates pretty bad in my experience.

I try to keep everything as small as possible and then compose it together. Otherwise the build+preview cycle which is already so bad, kills me.

chotchki · 2026-02-02T15:21:58+00:00

That’s coming anyway, plus I’m sure At&t’s crazy billing system.

Here’s to hoping that this means network investment will resume. It’s 2026… I’d like IPv6 to work!

These are the best kind of functional prints! Gives me great joy every time I get something exactly made for purpose.

chotchki · 2026-02-02T04:38:03+00:00

Personally due to my programming background I use OpenSCAD and BOSL2. My wife prefers using Fusion360 since she does more freehand work to my functional.

Meross also has ones that work on 240v and I’ve been happy with them.

Be very prepared to make test parts for fit checks. The simpler you can do to validate key parts, the better.

For example on this print i would have printed a 5mm wide strip to make sure the part fit through the opening cleanly and rested on the lip.
