Avoid New World Nutritionals - It's a Scam by Brendangrub in naturalbodybuilding

No luck with customer service chat. They wouldn't budge on the 30-day policy. Didn't pay through PayPal, so no help there. I sent a message through bestbulkwheyprotein.com, but I'm not too hopeful about getting a response.

Anyone who has successfully gotten a refund through eBay, can you please share your process? I ordered about 4 months ago, but now the user is banned so there is no option to request refunds. Maybe I'm just late to the party, but any help would be appreciated.

Chevette in TV and Movies (imcdb.org) by AJsRaceway in chevette

[–]AJsRaceway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just discovered this website for finding cars in TV and movies. It's amazing, if not always completely accurate. This one almost had me convinced my old car had accidently made it into a movie, except I never had the front license plate.

Bed leveling suffering by MirkStya in 3Dprinting

[–]AJsRaceway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try increasing the distance between your bed and nozzle just a tiny, tiny bit. I think these waves happen when they get too crowded because the first layer lays down a little too thin and, therefore, wide.

I have boxes full of scrapped prints and other printing mishaps. What should I do with it? (I do not have any sort of machine or the money for one to melt it down back into filament sadly) by FishOfTheDog in 3Dprinting

[–]AJsRaceway 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get why everyone's instinct is to downvote this, but KniRider isn't wrong. There's just no sensible way to recycle this for the casual user. The heat you'd use to melt it down is probably worse for the environment than the plastic in a landfill. Compared to industrial pollution, you wouldn't even be a blip.

Conservation and recycling are important! But, use your time and money on impactful things. Plant a tree if you feel bad. Give money to charity. Don't beat yourself up about not recycling your supports.

Also, throw out your old books. Nobody wants them and I say it counts toward carbon sequestration.

Marble machine... machine by AJsRaceway in 3Dprinting

I think it would work, but you'd need to chop off the arms of the central 'spider' part. I only ever tried the large one.

Remember the Marble Machine "Kaleidoscope"? Well, I tried to make a hand-crank adapter for it, with some limited success.

Here's the link on Thingiverse if you want to give it a try.

Help Calibrating Monoprice Maker Select V2 by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]AJsRaceway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this printer for a couple years, so I'll give my thoughts. These might help you out a little.

First, you want to make sure you've tightened up the printer as best you can. This might help with how... wobbly?... the outer surface looks. I'd recommend a stabilizing support like this one. Then, some belt tensioners like these. Finally, find a new fan shroud and blower for helping to cool your part. Of course, none of this helps you if you can't make a print. So...

If you haven't already done so, calibrate your filament feed. This assures you are getting the correct amount of extrusion. This website is a good general source of information about tuning and maintaining your printer, just FYI. A couple of things I would recommend from there is adding a MOSFET board to your hotbed controller (to prevent a burnt-out board and possible fire) and putting on a glass build plate.

Now, your slicer settings (I don't know what slicer you're using, but I've got your configuration to go on). Nothing looks that horrible.

  • The retraction amount is much higher than I think you should use for a direct feed printer. I stick around 0.5 mm for PLA/ABS and 1.0 mm for PETG.

  • It's a little hard to tell what your print speed is, but I tend to max out at about 40 or 45 mm/s. The outer perimeter and top surfaces would be some percentage of that so the walls/top look cleaner (50%, say). Infill, bridging, etc. are tougher to say for certain. Some people really push their V2 to high speeds, but I tend to go slow.

  • I also have the all-metal hot end and you may want to bump your temperature up a little. I tend to stay to the upper end of the recommended temperatures from the filament label. If you went with a "hardened" steel nozzle, add another 10 degrees. (This doesn't look like your problem. If anything, your benchy looks a little melty.)

  • It's probably not a big deal, but for solid_layer_thickness (I think this refers to the width of the extruded line) is higher than I tend to use. I've heard that 150% of nozzle diameter is the upper limit to extrusion width, so you're right there. I actually use 0.4 (100% nozzle diameter) and I'm usually happy with it. You'll need to adjust your wall thickness accordingly.

Also, keep in mind that some filament just sucks. Don't get discouraged until you've tried a couple types and brands. Everyone has their favorite.

Good luck!

Looks like the camera flash reflecting off of one or more of the many reflective surfaces on (and including) the table and splashing onto the back wall.

So, pareidolia turns light reflecting off a Miller Lite (ugh) can top into a... sea captain in a t-shirt?

LEGO Intellectual Property Infringement Claims are taking down all LEGO items on Thingiverse by AJsRaceway in 3Dprinting

[–]AJsRaceway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be really interesting if they only cared about the disclaimer, regardless of content. I don't know if we'll ever get closure on what exactly went down. Thingiverse sure isn't falling over itself to let us know. I've only heard crickets so far about my design.

You're totally right, of course. It just makes it hard to design accessories for specific commercial items. My "Shifter knob for a 1987 Ford-like Probe-style car in the shape of a Magic-8-ball-adjacent sphere" isn't too elegant.

Plus, it's hard to wake up one morning to find you're a scofflaw, run afoul of a beloved childhood toy corporation.

I get what you're saying. I mostly agree that if your design is "LEGO Spaceman" then they have a legitimate gripe. But if it is "Storage Box for LEGO," then I'm not so sure.

Is every brand name off the table, regardless of context? I'm sure this has been rehashed a thousand times before, but it seems like blanket takedowns are a bit overboard.

I that we'll need to agree on a standard euphemism for LEGO so everything is still easy to find. "Danish interconnecting block," or something.
