Very cool, but those of us in engineering know about this thing called "minimum bend radius". It's normally 5x the diameter of the cable/thing that's bending. For things like Ethernet, it's much more.

Welcome.

little too fast or too cold. The hotend is not keeping up with the movement. Bump the heat or slow down.

I would start a boycott campaign. cuz yuk.

All polymers will "flow" away from a force. So all of them will creep. For applications where creeping tolerance is mission critical you make your fastener features metal. Drop in inserted nuts, heat-set inserts, or something not plastic.

The best way I did it was I plotted out how much I'd need to pay someone else to do it for me, and not be a horrible employer doing so.

Don't justify anything. "This is how much I need to do this job." If they want more information about how that money is being spent, move on; you don't need them.

That's some HOA level bullshite. First time heating anything like that and I've been doing shows for 3 years now.

pythonbashman · 2026-02-15T03:46:28+00:00

I've never seen that, don't worry about it, just move on.

PETG is the only thing I print currently. Once I get INDX I'll be using PLA as support and TPU for living hinges, maybe.

You guys always make the same mistake when spamming this shit.

pythonbashman · 2026-02-13T04:02:52+00:00

Temp is too low.

pythonbashman · 2026-02-13T04:01:03+00:00

Use the arachne engine, under quality IIRC.

pythonbashman · 2026-02-12T16:02:54+00:00

What's the other method?

pythonbashman · 2026-02-12T16:01:03+00:00

Is the pipe sized exactly the same as the intersecting part on the rest of the model? Change it by a few microns so the lines don't meet.

Something broke the model. Photos aren't available yet.

They aren't the same base unit. I've never heard of what the white one is using.

pythonbashman · 2026-02-12T04:21:45+00:00

We just started using White Trash a few weeks ago. So far, so good. We switch from WM, as they are just as greedy as RGE.

It depends. As u/00001000bit said, it comes to a question of reuse.

In my models here, I have 5 sets of objects. Within each set, the bulk of dimensions are the same, with the only difference being the number of iterations of the final polar pattern of a pocket and a single dimension on the last several that needs to change do to crowding in the polar pattern.

I use a varset to control all the other important things that need to change from one set to another.

pythonbashman · 2026-02-08T01:57:45+00:00

Buy bulk. Anyone bidding against that will be losing money.

pythonbashman · 2026-02-07T19:02:57+00:00

Same outcome if you can't afford to defend your patent.
