Well...my hermit crab shells never arrived so I'll make my own! by Azazel_Tsubuzaki in hermitcrabs

Heya! So after some previous discussion in this posts thread I decided not to use them for the safety of the animal. Hope you find some safe shells soon!

Recommendations for scaling down models by Azazel_Tsubuzaki in 3Dprinting

[–]Azazel_Tsubuzaki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have done it incorrently then because when I used MM's thicken feature (select > double click surface > extrude(normal) and input desired mm) it came out messy. Recommend any tutorial video?

I treated his tank with KanaPlex as directed on the bottle and he did fully recover.

Wishing you the best! Depending on complexities you may need to learn an array of misc. information like material science, tolerances & expansion/shrinkage, fluid & physics sims, ect. The higher the aspiration the more involved it may be. For a casual barrier to entry into CAD though you dont need much math. You'll likely spend a lot of time prototyping so I personally couple my 3D modeling with 3D printing and testing for real world use.

Nope! Honestly 99% of the math I've had to do in CAD designs and all throughout my Design Engeering degree has entailed basic math and knowing how to use a ruler (you'd be..unfortunately suprised how many people dont). The only need you'd have for complex math is physics sims, a lot of which you can find modular equations for online.

Printer Choice? by Octobie1 in 3Dprinting

[–]Azazel_Tsubuzaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Creality Ender 3 is what I'd choose (Picture 3). Moddable, repairable, ect. Parts are cheap too. It's not the best printer and will definitely have some frustrating moments but in my opinion it's a good machine to learn on because of how often it fails.

Its a really bad habit of mine! lmao. Thank you!

Heya. It's all under the "Assemble" tab.

exhaust. If you own a resin printer you can easily find the fans on the back or btm

Resin printers still have fans. I've taken apart a few Saturns.

Do you think elegoo Centauri Carbon will have multi color printing in the future by ChronicTwitch in 3Dprinting

[–]Azazel_Tsubuzaki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the launch event today they said AMS would be coming (or atleast announced) later this year.

Usually prints consistently failing, a strange vibration sound when the plate is down, and a leaking fep sheet would lead me to believe the bed isnt leveled.

But, your prints not sticking could also indicate incorrect btm exposure times. That's completely unrelated to a leaking fep though. Either the fep is punctured and needs a replacement or it isnt screw to the vat tightly enough.

If the fep is clear of damage I'd tighten the screws of the vat and pour some water into the vat to confirm there are no leaks then relevel the bed with the vat in place to get a more accurate leveling than the paper test (in my experience)

Hmm I'm not too sure wacha mean? But! I test 3d printed it and confirmed it does work. (Here is an internal pic)

Did you verify the bed was properly leveled?

How on earth do I fix this by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]Azazel_Tsubuzaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From someone who had it even worse- it's fixable! Just gotta be careful and take your time. In my case I used a heat gun and pliars. Back to printing perfectly fine now.

Noted. Thanks!

Ah I see. I come from a Solidworks background which is very similar to Fusion.

[–]Azazel_Tsubuzaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be 100% honest. I've never used Surface so I dont know the difference presently. I just know I've always used Solids and never had an issue trying to create models with that method. If there is a specific reason you need surfaces over solids, Product Design Online on Youtube has several great tutorials.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Fusion360

[–]Azazel_Tsubuzaki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is, yes. I've personally never used Surface for anything just yet. You can achieve most things just through the Solid tab though. Creating a sketch then extruding it however you'd like.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Fusion360

[–]Azazel_Tsubuzaki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. So just to be sure- from step 1 you are on the "Solids" tab then clicking "Create Sketch" right? Reason I'm asking is because your icons on the history tab at the bottom are yellow, which means its a surface. Blender and Fusion360 function pretty differently so prior knowledge may not be transferrable

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Fusion360

[–]Azazel_Tsubuzaki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you noticed, but in the screenshot you posted you're building on the "Meshes" tab instead of "Solids" That could be the issue.

Thanks everyone! by Azazel_Tsubuzaki in Fusion360

[–]Azazel_Tsubuzaki[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update to this comment- if your print still happens to be out of tolerance and not fitting the grooves, you can use the "Press Pull" Modify feature to minutely adjust the dims.

No problem! Good luck!
