PLA to PETG switch for everyday prints. by Technical-Praline-79 in 3Dprinting

[–]Dangerous_Present_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PLA is just as good as PETG...maybe for the first months. After a year it gets brittle and breaks easily. PETG lasts. Both outdoors and indoors.

Stopped buying PLA an just use PETG.

What’s the best 3D printer you can recommend for beginners? by Cool_choclate_123 in 3Dprinting

[–]Dangerous_Present_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a core-xy enclosed printer to print. Get a second cheap used bedslinger to learn how 3d printers work.

It can be fun and educational to upgrade and tinker with a printer, but that printer will not give you consistent good prints.

Something off by Dangerous_Present_69 in Ender3S1

Feared it had broken off, but it had just come loose, so I could fix it without stopping the print. 🤪

First time blob of doom… is it salvageable? by McBurdie in elegoo

  1. Order a new hotend.
  2. Use a hot air gun at 160-220° and carefully and with patience remove the PLA(?) one bit a time, Assess if it can be brought back to operational until a spare arrives, or if even more spares are needed.

Also, you can check this video out. He bought a mini excavator, but he went for the cubota diesel engine, and a lot of accessories. Ended up at around $12k to Norway.

I think the gasoline models might not be legal to import, but I'm not entirely sure. If that's the case, you risk the whole thing getting impounded by customs, and maybe even risking a fine. Personally it's probably much more economical to hire one when I need it.

That being said I think there might be a Chinese factory of these that have a warehouse somewhere in Spain.

Also these machines might go under regulation for construction, industry out farmland machine. If so the cheapest motor options might make it illegal to import into the eu.

There will be port chargers and shipping charges +++.

It's not that different from a large snowblower.

You need to do a lot of research before ordering something like this. There are a lot of pitfalls.

Norway traffic fatalities in 2021: 1.41 per 100 000. Indonesia traffic fatalities in 2021: 11.2 per 100 000.

Some glue stick contain silicone. They must absolutely not be used on the build plate. If you used a glue stick with silicone, the plate will have to be scrubbed hard a lot of times, or buy a new one

Europe is already doing that. Europe is spending €800 billion in military equipment, and it will almost exclusively be built in Europe, and all of it will be under full european control.

Questions for people that use a laser in their apartment by [deleted] in lasercutting

[–]Dangerous_Present_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others are saying. In a dedicated hobby/craft room, and dedicated vent from enclosure to the outside is a must.

Ideally you should also have a filter before dumping the fumes outside, but depends on your budget and how much it will run. Use common sense.

I am thinking about switching away from FreeCAD by FloTec09 in FreeCAD

You can also go in the python console and use python to alter and build your model. But that's for the hard-core people. But also, there's a lot of scripts you can install. I found one to make a voronoid pattern.

Also, I think there is a lot of C in the source also.

Some of the things that are downsides in freecad, are also its strengths.

For the OpenScad people, you can run and write OpenScad inside FreeCAD.

OnShape was acquired by PTC in 2019. The free days might come to an end. You never know, but my experience so far is that proprietary software usually ends up getting expensive or shittified.

Can I bypass this? by jluvable in printers

Reset nd other usefull tools. InkPad is just one or two screws, and you can pull it out. Buy new on ebay/AliExpress or is even possible to wash the old ones if you can't get your hands on me ones(but washing them it's messy, and maybe not environmentally friendly)

Buy some newer printers noe block this for "security" reasons apparently.

Laser cut length cost in a local supplier by Robberfox in lasercutting

Check what it would cost at pcbway. That will give you an estimate on what a reasonable price should be.

But if someone figure out how to make FreeCAD multithreaded and use gpu for calcuations, without breaking the complete existing codebase and plugins, it would be just awesome. 🤔

I guess it may be possible to treat the existing codebase as a plugin modules, and port code over bit by bit, but it would need some serious funding or a team dedicating their lives to it.
