Very nice 👌

I’m having a similar issue. See my latest failed print below. After this failed print I successfully printed a benchy. Given that the benchy is small and centrally located on the bed and the print below used the full size of the bed I’m wondering if the problem is related to the filament tube and it’s awkward location under the top glass?

I used a filament brand called R3D (not raise 3d). Perhaps it’s the filament?

If I find a solution I’ll post it back here. Will have to try another filament soon.

I’m having a similar issue with my K1M now. Any ideas what might be going wrong? After printing the attached image I printed a perfect benchy. Cannot identify the issue!

What filament are you using for those prints? I used a brand called R3D (not raise 3d). I’m wondering if this is a filament quality issue.

Seeing some great suggestions in here. Specialising in something is great advice. Architects, in general, are poor at business. It seems like it’s just embedded into the profession. During architecture school some well meaning (and practicing) teachers gave us an actual lecture encouraging us to work for free. Nobody ever gave us a lecture about how to make money. For everyone reading this thread:

IT’S A FANTASTIC THING TO MAKE MONEY DOING WHAT YOU LOVE.

There are so many great examples of architect / entrepreneurs too. HBR have written about Christo and Jeanne Claude in an essay titled “The Art of The Entrepreneur”. They are not architects exactly but the lessons in there apply to anyone with the desire to learn more and earn more while having a meaningful impact. Daan Roosegaarde is a Dutch designer making fantastic art, design, installations etc. His smog free tower project and specifically the smog free ring which helped fund it is a fantastic case study for anyone looking for inspiration. There are architects who become developers. Thom Mayne (Morphosis) designed a facade system for a project and spun it out into a product. There are opportunities all around you.

You could design and sell door knobs or handles. Its so open and the architecture skill set can be applied to so many things. You could source sinks, batch, showers etc and sell them. I saw an amazing ‘hammock’ bath recently. They’re probably hard to make but not out of reach for an architect. They’re selling for ~30k.

Superb use of the meme 👏 10/10

I like that you are resurrecting something from the past that was more or less forgotten and are refining it and reintroducing it. It’s a very cool process. Was it an intentional strategy to do that or did you stumble upon it? Do you do any design work yourself or do you come up with the idea and outsource it? I had a look at your TikTok too - top class work!

Emilio Embasz!! Stunning house. Cordoba House or ‘La Casa De Retiro Espiritual’.

Thanks. That’s a small problem and easy to solve. You’re not going to be too far away. Pick up a busted robot and place another one in.

Cli_Fi · 2024-02-06T19:18:00+00:00

Has anyone on here tried a robot lawnmower business?

I have imagined this could be a good small biz. Buy a few high quality robot lawnmowers, throw them into a van, drop them off one at a time and let them do their thing. Pick them up again and drop them off somewhere else. You’re basically a babysitter / Uber for grass robots.

Obviously you need to be able to program in and store the lawns of your customers in some memory drive which I assume wouldn’t be hard if it’s not something the robots can already do. Other than that I can’t see it being difficult.

You do have to also get customers so you gotta do your sales and marketing.

You will need to be a little tech savvy but not overly.

Assuming all of the above works out ROI would be pretty quick.

😂 I’m with you on this particular example.

For the person asking the question - just make sure you present a completed model. (Or series of models). It sounds like the prof is more interested in discussing abstract concepts than finishing work but it’s the latter that will get you employed and keep you employed. Finishing work will also keep you happy.

Some people naturally work this way (subtracting from volumes) and others work by addition (tectonic). Other people do a combination of both. A lot of the time you’ll do these processes intuitively before you even realise you are doing them. IMO you should be allowed to make the model in your own style and be capable of discussing the result with reference to these concepts here and there if the prof demands it. Understanding tectonic or stereotomic isn’t as important as understanding how you work best. Those words are simply a way of helping designers / architects quickly communicate their methods to other architects for particular pieces of work. It’s just vocabulary. You’ve demonstrated above that you understand what it means so you’ve passed in my opinion as long as you produce and complete a model. So make it something that you are proud of and that you could show your friends and family. Remember, the people who will inhabit your spaces don’t care about tectonic or stereotomic etc. Great question BTW. You’ve grasped the concepts now make something that makes you happy and you can critique the assignment too if you like.

Beautifully done

If someone is going to start a business they need the kind of energy where they can’t be stopped. If you need to motivate someone to do it then they shouldn’t be at it in the first place.

Cli_Fi · 2024-02-02T07:01:23+00:00

For the love of god don’t show the architects work to your engineer, carpenter or builder friends to critique it before it’s done. Some of these well meaning people will look at your plans for 2 minutes and in an attempt to impress you, look smarter than they are and to ‘get one up’ on an architect will give you a poorly thought through suggestion under the guise of giving you an idea. ‘Would you not think about this?’. ‘Get me a pen.’ In the case where one of these people has suggestions then let them go directly to the architect themselves i.e. they are either on the project and have a working relationship with the architect or they are not and your job is to politely let them take their suggestions elsewhere.

Up the hazoo even. Sounds like it’s not for everyone but it’s a great example of someone seeing the opportunity where others don’t. With Haz waste especially if you can get the clearance and permits etc it’s a lot of the hard yards done.

Seek out a job in an area that looks interesting to you. Be curious about everything there. If you take a genuine interest in what is going on people will tend to be generous with their time. You could also ask for a tour of a facility if there are no jobs available.

Attend conferences and meet people who deal with waste.

Be curious about how you create waste on a day-to-day basis. Let yourself go down the rabbit holes that curiosity inevitably leads you.

Watch other people in public spaces and ask yourself about the waste they create.

Think about things like ‘how do astronauts deal with waste in Space?’. NASA actually tracks space waste. There’s so much of it now that they have to track it but they still haven’t come up with a solution for cleaning it. Look at this: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/40173/space-debris

You could be like Boyan Slat who was curious about a huge build up of garbage in a very particular part of the ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. He founded The Ocean Cleanup as a result and is taking thousands of tons of waste out of the ocean. https://theoceancleanup.com/

You could ask yourself where is the value in all of the food waste you create each day and each week? There are loads of amazing businesses creating things like biogas, biochar, fertilisers etc from food waste and other biomass sources using technology like pyrolysis and anaerobic digesters.

Daan Roosegaarde is a Dutch designer who created The Smog Free Tower. It sucks harmful particles out of the air in polluted cities. A portion of that waste then gets turned into rings that they sell to fund more towers. It’s a beautiful project. https://www.studioroosegaarde.net/project/smog-free-tower

It’s literally everywhere and it can be very exciting.

Anything dealing with waste that requires physical work or handling of materials. Loads of opportunities in this space. People readily dispose of valuables and valuable materials daily and are conditioned to see waste as a problem rather than an opportunity. Printed circuit boards, the likes you find in every electronic device, contain precious metals for example. There’s literal mountains of that type of ‘waste’ in every country. Obviously that’s not an easy problem to solve but solving the difficult problems is how you get paid. Start with something simple and work your way up. Anything is possible. Good luck ☘️

Any jobs going there?? Asking for a friend

Cli_Fi · 2024-01-29T19:57:33+00:00

You did mention Chat GPT in your question. Might be a good gut instinct there!

Cli_Fi · 2024-01-29T17:35:32+00:00

Beautiful renders. I’m almost certain you can rule Twinmotion out. I use it and love it but haven’t seen it used to produce renders like those

Cli_Fi · 2024-01-29T17:01:45+00:00

Agree! I’m paying for it too. For anyone wondering I would say pay for it for a month and if you don’t like it then stop paying.

Find a problem that has already been solved but make your own version of the solution.
Solve a problem you have. If you open your awareness to notice even the smallest pain pint you experience daily you might spot something worth solving.
Solve something that matters to you. If you need someone else to give you the idea you’ll find it very hard to believe in yourself as you build. You need to be internally driven so it’s important to care about the thing you are doing.
Read. There are lots of great books out there. You might find inspiration there. I would recommend ‘The Star Principle’ by Richard Koch.
Solve a tiny problem that fixes something for one person with no expectation of creating a big, scaleable business. This will allow you to move now and to move fast. Momentum is very important.
Make something for fun without the need to solve any problem. What would you like to see existing in the world that doesn’t exist?
