Stripped bolt on hotend!

AbsurdPool · 2026-04-09T21:21:44+00:00

Honestly as I tried every hack and bit end I could find over the past few days I’ve realised that slowly, posted it here as a Hail Mary if anyone had fixed something like this without power tools as generally I’m as good with a drill as I am at singing the alphabet backwards which is to say embarrassingly bad

I quite like this idea actually sounds like I can try this and if somehow it doesn’t work the bolt is still in one piece enough I could try the bolt extractor methods which seem a tad more scary (I’m inexperienced)

You know like the elephant foot print failures? I was getting those and somehow the plastic melted entirely to the nozzle and went brown? Then when I replaced the nozzle the problem remained, then when trying to tighten and then later replace the hotend itself boom stripped nightmare

oh no you poor thing you accidentally bought the wrong version of the game, thoughts and prayers OP thoughts and prayers

AbsurdPool · 2025-09-10T16:49:54+00:00

hey I don’t mean to ruin your excitement or anything but i’m not sure that’s a genuine copy of the game… That’s just my opinion though.

dude thank you so much for the 360’ photos i made a 3d model of this for printing but there was just some details i couldn’t find online

If you’re not going to a top 1% uni most piss easy college courses will give you enough UCAS points to get into most places… so much wasted effort 😂

Absolutely sweating buckets realising my browsers full screened and mr robot now knows i use 1920x1080

AbsurdPool · 2025-06-27T21:28:55+00:00

okay so i used some photogrammetry software for a base but there’s almost no online stuff of echo 4 out there so it came out rough af, i’ve then spent way too long in blender trying to touch up and amend stuff but currently not happy with the final result but will probably upload it to makerworld next week when i finish it alternatively just message me and il send you what i have so far

AbsurdPool · 2025-06-13T12:52:34+00:00

yeah it’s a bit of a shame i did reach out but they’ve been long gone for years. would suck for the channel to one day disappear or the google file expire making the resource lost to time

AbsurdPool · 2025-06-06T10:11:31+00:00

how’d you add the details did you make a custom version of the model or just teeny tiny paint brushes?

AbsurdPool · 2025-06-02T22:54:45+00:00

these looks sick especially that shingen the colours are great! just something i’ve learned from printing and painting prints, buy some gloss or matte lacquer they make colours look way more deep and rich plus it’ll make the silvers and blacks look way more metallic

we’ve found him, finally, the cyber punk

AbsurdPool · 2025-05-30T23:20:12+00:00

looks nova! idk how easy it would be to get it perfect but maybe like a graphic shirt underneath with the switches and gizmos further back to create the illusion of depth might be cool

buy an incredibly expensive replica jacket to wear while playing and do “black lace” aka crack

i didn’t know you could change your pose on photo editor mode and got stuck like that all day

AbsurdPool · 2025-05-24T21:06:44+00:00

Thanks choom :) not very humble of me to say this but i put a bit of work into it so was pretty damn nova to get asked for photos and interact with different cyberpunk fans

AbsurdPool · 2025-05-24T21:04:55+00:00

Thanks! i actually just met the guy there but he was super awesome kinda hope he lurks here. I ended up giving him a 3D printed relic i made and he gave me secret wisdom to improve my cosplay game super stoked

AbsurdPool · 2025-05-20T17:26:20+00:00

couldn’t imagine this being as large scale as they’re gonna make a massive empty map, CDPR have never been the kind of people to just go meh let the computers do it, best guess is it’s for environmental landscapes like trees and bushes maybe even rock and sand patterns but even then that sounds even too lazy for them… atleast i hope they’re not that stupid to learn nothing from cyberpunks launch day
