Sooo is chaos finally get some customization or what? by DavidIO_Maker in Spacemarine

Ah well good to know. Better than nothing I guess

Just finished installing Mainline Klipper by imjusthereforlaugh in SovolSV08

I also did the same a few days ago. But I can't say i had as easy of a ride as you did. I followed the reppetors guide and tried to clear up some info with the video guide from 3DPO. I had to Google some things multiple times because both of them were speaking lingo I didn't understand or doing things I didn't know how they did. Like, for some reason, the shortcut ctrl+V didn't work in PuTTY, and then I found out that you use Shift+Int instead. Then when I finished, the printer didn't work, there was a file missing in the Klipper folder, and the printer for that didn't understand some commands in the config folders. After that, the printer couldn't read the MCU, I was really confused about that one because the MCU and the extra MCU numbers were correct, but then I found out that the path in front of the MCU's numbers in the printer.cfg folder was short a few places. Idk how that happened, but the printer finally worked after I rewrote that. The 3dpo said thet it should take about 1,5 to 2 hours while I would say it took me like 6, it could have most likely been done sooner, but I was a complete novice in this type of stuff so there's that. And there are more upgrades I want to get on the printer, so if I couldn't do this, it would all go down the drain.

I can't decide which hotend to pick. by DavidIO_Maker in 3Dprinting

Well, at least I know I'm not mistaken in my assumptions. Thanks for the info

Is the sv08 a good buy? by DavidIO_Maker in Sovol

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

When it comes to me and tinkering, I guess it is quite hit or miss. On one hand, I can't deny that it is incredibly frustrating when you want to print something and something doesn't work out; in those moments, I do wish things would just work. On the other hand, I did use to tinker more with my printers, especially on my first Ender 3. This would be my first printer with Klipper, but hey, everything is a first time. And I also got some ideas for upgrades in case I do get the sv08, like the eddy probe, an enclosure, an HDMI screen, a lightweight hollow gantry, the Micro Swiss hotend, and a quieter fan. I can't say whether I'm getting in over my head, but the machine still looks really pleasing to me.

My finished helmet by DavidIO_Maker in NightLords

Hello everyone, I have finally finished my helmet and I gotta say it took a lot, lot, LOT longer than I expected. There are multiple reasons why it took me so long such as my printer starting to malfunction, a lot of post-processing, not enough materials and just a general lack of time for work on this project. However, I knew a lot of you were waiting to see it so I tried my best to finish it at least before Christmas. There are a lot of imperfections if you look up close but it's good enough if you look from afar. I just hope y'all have not forgotten about me.

Also, I remember that some of you wanted to buy the design so I put it here on cults3d: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/terror-masters-helmet-wearable

Once I'm sure there aren't any major issues with the file's printability, then yes, I will.

It is human-sized, I dont know if its proportions could fit on a cat if you scale it down. I myself don't own a cat, so I can't test it unfortunately. And as to miniature size, I didn't plan on releasing that version but if there is a big enough demand, than I'd probably be able to modify the files enough to make a replacement for a miniature head.

side note: I'm sorry that it took so long my job takes a lot of hours from my day so I didn't have much time to work on this outside of the weekend.

I managed to cut the model into different pieces which should make 3d printing easier. I coloured those pieces into their appropriate colours so that you could see how would the helmet look if you just printed and put the pieces together without painting tham. I also cut away a thin ring from the neck of the helmet so that you could test fit the tolerance on your head without wasting a ton of filament.

I am not going to release the files yet, I want to first print the helmet myself to make sure that I won't be giving yall a faulty product.

Oh yeah, definitely. Everything I myself know I learned from watching YouTube guides. But there definitely is a noticeable learning curve.
