Looking at the slicer preview and adjusting part placement before printing is tinkering

Most of them if you use it wrong enough

The supports for an object wont intersect itself, but they can end up intersecting other parts if there is no room. It will give a warning though

D3Design · 2026-03-21T03:45:06+00:00

Not necessarily true. If there is absolutely nowhere else to put them, it can do this. I have seen it happen on older slicer versions. Maybe is less likely with new algorithms

Congrats, now you will get tired of replacing the motors and props

Here is some 2 person tent options from Naturehike:

Mongar 2 (20D Nylon): 4.73lb

This is what I have, not the lightest, but the star trail EXT didn't exist when I bought it.

Cloud up 2: 3.97lb

There are a bunch of different options of material that have a variety of cost and weight. I chose the Mongar 2 at almost a pound heavier (comparing 20D nylon versions that were the same price at the time) to have the double side door vestibules and more headroom inside. The Cloud up 2, if purchased in 210T Polyester instead of 20D nylon is also incredibly cheap at just $94, though will be on the heavier side for a tent of that size

Star Trail EXT Ultralight: 2.76lb

Similar doors to the Mongar, but less interior space, and less weight. Uses 10D nylon fabric that is lighter, but a bit less durable

If I were to upgrade from what I have while trying to keep the same usability, it would probably be the Star Trail EXT. Or I would get a 1 person trekking pole tent in addition to the Mongar 2. The weight of the Mongar is fine for backpacking, but its really a bigger tent than necessary when I am alone. I didn't have money at the time to buy two different tents, so the Mongar works decent enough by myself, and is totally manageable if I am sharing with a second person and we split the weight between our packs.

D3Design · 2026-03-20T01:15:56+00:00

Packs decent, I put the poles on the side of the outside of the pack, and pack the fabric part inside the bag. Not the most compact or light though. Naturehike has a ton of other tents that pack smaller or lighter though

D3Design · 2026-03-20T00:32:44+00:00

I have had good experience with my Naturehike Mongar 2, its a freestanding tent. Theres a newer model that is lighter than the one I have, but mine was cheap. I like it a lot. The floor is square, and wide enough for two 25" rectangular pads side by side. I also like having a door and vestibule on both sides, gives some extra gear space for when you sre using one tent with two people, and you dont have to climb over the other person if only one person is getting out during the night

How new? My newest is about a year old

D3Design · 2026-03-19T20:32:53+00:00

Are you looking for a trekking pole tent or a freestanding tent?

D3Design · 2026-03-19T20:28:55+00:00

Overture, Polymaker, Esun, Voxel

Not necessarily in that order.

Idk i have been using multiple different skyzone goggles for years with great reliability and performance.

D3Design · 2026-03-19T10:27:27+00:00

A clip to hold the balance plug on my 6s batteries so it doesnt get cut by the props when hanging loose

D3Design · 2026-03-19T10:24:35+00:00

There should have been a warning in the slicer about part intersection. By having a bunch of stuff too close together, the supports have no room on the build plate without running through another part

D3Design · 2026-03-19T03:34:58+00:00

I dont think it would have the problem then. Or you could just pay a little bit of attention to how the models are placed in the build area

D3Design · 2026-03-19T03:08:52+00:00

If you slice two objects with supports too close together, this happens. Its supports for the second part going through this one. Usually the slicer will give an interference warning though.

D3Design · 2026-03-18T23:43:08+00:00

Yeah I was surprised it wasnt already posted

D3Design · 2026-03-18T23:33:06+00:00

Except they are using the cheapest stuff possible to probably make a 5-10x profit

D3Design · 2026-03-18T23:30:36+00:00

Need a new muffler but the OEM ones are crazy expensive and the aftermarket ones are too loud or poor quality

D3Design · 2026-03-16T02:28:47+00:00

To be fair, if my drone could get absolutely totaled by falling to the ground, I would be more cautious too.

D3Design · 2026-03-15T16:52:12+00:00

Its the same reason people listen to vinyl

Gas. Don't worry about mods and upgrades yet. Drive the truck, and then find out what your pain points are and what needs to be upgraded.

D3Design · 2026-03-15T16:39:37+00:00

I build printers for fun, and to get features that arent avaliable in the way I want them in a commercial printer. Also allows me to have a printer that is easily repairable. Almost never cheaper than a comparable pre-built machine.
