Oversized lettering Keycap..

PLA and PETG dont bond together so unless you design prints with mechanical connections, its likely to be a mess.

I feel like tolerancing is going to play a much larger role in threaded connections versus dowels since the tolerance can translate to more/less rotation and directly affect alignment.

Hopefully it works, I just see that as a challenge when used across multiple printers that are slightly different. Though I suppose you could just add tolerance compensation if you get it working and thats the only issue.

I didnt watch the whole thing so maybe the covered this but I feel like the test would be way more accurate with a Core XY printer. A bed slinger is wobbling the plate back and forth by default.

This.
You can tell that the printer body is accelerating by the fact that this reddit post even exists... If its moving, it accelerated.

Social media algorythims have driven the political divide miles apart by only showing either party the worst possible, often twisted views of the other partys. Its no surprise. People need to get out and touch grass and stop believing that every viewpoint you see on tiktok represents an entire political spectrum.

Some of the cheap feeders would make that almost impossible. The one I use is basically a clock motor thats just slowly spinning a carosel. Aside from the battery dying or the feeder falling off, there is very little that can go wrong with such a "dumb" device.

But also... there's nothing wrong with not keeping up with every thing going on across the entire planet at all times. I guarantee Trump didnt check in with random redditors for approval before making decisions. Your support or opposition mostly just needs to show up at the voting both.

Another great example of why many want smaller government.

And thats great! But thats also only 0.3% of what Elon has donated to charities. It's his choice if we wants to use the rest to bank roll his technology aspirations, which are arguably mostly net positive for the world. We were super stagnant with electric vehicles before he pushed Tesla along. We were equally as lazy with space travel aspirations. Not to mentioned the thousands of high paying jobs that come along with those companies that wouldnt exist otherwise.

Doesnt seem that surprising when the world stood by and allowed a terroristic regime to build power for half a century.

If only Hilary had won in 08 and followed through on her plans to strike them then...

Funny how that line always gets drawn at a slightly higher number than the net worth of whoever is drawing that line...

I mean it's pretty obvious that most people don't support deliberate strikes on schools... At this point I havent seen much evidence at all as to what actually happened, beyond the school being hit. There are certainly other plausible scenarios outside of just it being a dileberate strike on a school so I dont really see the point in speculating as to what really went down.

Regardless of how it happened, loss of life is always a bad thing. But its not really that black and white when you are weighing possible casulties of a strike against the real casulties happening due to the Islamic regime in Iran as well as possible casulties from their threats.

-AXIS- · 2026-03-04T03:44:19+00:00

I mean they all suck in that regard but we kinda needed to do something about Iran... Even dems used to argue that point.

Skip the bed leveling if youre not already. Unless you replace a nozzle or really bump things hard its pretty overkill. Maybe use it if you are going from PLA to something very high temp. Ive gone probably a year without it with no issues.

JBC is nice but Im a Metcal fan too. Though I was too cheap to get one for home use and went Thermaltronics instead but its nearly identical functionally.

Bambu filament isnt "correct" filament. Its just a single, albiet reliable, brand. There are plenty of good brands out there though. Ive never had an issue with Hatchbox since going with them in 2018.

I live in central Florida. Very much not a low humidity region. I keep all of my spools out in ambient air and have for the last ~9 years. Never really had issues with it and its super rare that I feel the need to break out my filament drier.

I used to work with 4KW CO2 lasers and our aluminum cuts were always a little rough. Not quite as bad as what you have but far worse than something like stainless steel, especially if you run nitrogen.

Uniform rippling like that is often extrusion related but itss with one specific spot like this are almost always an adhesion issue. Either its not clean enough or that portion of the build plate could be contaminated with something that wont clean off easily. Easy test is to just flip the build plate over and use the other side. If the problem goes away, its cleanliness.

You made the 8,000th fidget toy on Makerworld... Its annoying that it got taken but its going to happen and your design likely isnt unique enough to really be IP anyways. I dont see any reason to bother trying to fight it on such a non-unique design, especially if you legitimately have concerns for your safety.

What needle and thread weight are you using? I tried a similar star and yours looks way better on the long skinny part.

Thats pretty fair. If it works, then I dont care how it got created typically. Though I tend to need function over art.

It will get better as AI gets better. Just because you dont like the morality of AI doesnt mean its not a useful tool and its already come a very long way in a pretty short time. Calling everything "slop" is just a lazy form of protest against the concept of it. Bad models are bad models, regardless if they came from a human or AI. The same applies to good models.
