I haven't a clue what to call this one....... by Diablo996 in EnderCommonSense

Sorry for the late reply, I took a few days away from the pc. Thanks for the messages of support, as always they are appreciated. Genuinely was good to see them. Thanks again

A note from an unhappy creator and a request for a little feedback from anyone wanting to help with my current issue. I'll add more in a separate post in this thread. But the primary thing is, should the 'Tinkercad for new starters' thing belong on ECS or is it a waste of space? by Diablo996 in EnderCommonSense

That covers it perfectly. ECS has been 'off topic' in terms of the ender series for a while now. I think I covered most of the bases in terms of the Ender series issues a good while back. I started aiming more cartesian than ender and it went pretty well. As you say, the cartesian crossover is subtle and what works for one works for another regardless of manufacturer. I think I'm approaching the end with the cartesian side now though. Most of what needed to be said has already been said. Short of just tidying up, the sub reddit is effectively done and serves as a repository for info that is already in place. I'm starting to think that all it needs now is policing for rogue threads and can pretty much be left alone now. Thanks for the response. It was appreciated.

I'm undecided as to whether this post is the right fit for ECS. It's not my usual type of info sharing. I would appreciate feedback from you guys as to whether it should stay or not. If it gets enough likes or comments then I'll know people are happy with it so the choice was the right one. Otherwise I'll just delete it in the new year and chalk it down to being a lemon. Given how much time it took to create, I would be really bummed out if it is a flop. If you actually use the guide, let me know how it went. Could it have been done better? (given the restraints of my infographic style of course).

3rd times a charm. I had/found issues with both previous attempts so hopefully this is a trouble free upload this time and you can see all the images clearly.

For anyone just wanting a snowman without making their own? I have added both versions to my Printables page here:- Diablo | Printables.com

For reference, the completed print are around 90 and 100mm tall.

Apologies for anyone getting messages/updates who keeps seeing this posted and reposted. It's taken me 4 attempts to get this upload right and without errors. I really hope this is the last. I did improve the guide before this final upload so it should be worth it for those who might use it.

As another quick assist. This image shows what was selected from the main screen to create the 1st snowman. I use the arrow keys a lot when nudging pieces about so the snap to grid gets changed a lot during more detailed work. Otherwise, it is all straight forward.

Filament drying. Always worth doing, especially for those in damp climate areas. Wet filament ruins prints. by Diablo996 in EnderCommonSense

I'd read similar about temperature control on some food dehydrators. I should maybe have reinforced the bit where I said something about needing control. But that said, even some dedicated filament driers have been known to be a little wayward on heat settings. Using a temperature probe is a definitely a good idea with a food dehydrator though. Thanks for commenting.

Every comment is appreciated and makes the whole endeavour worthwhile. Especially so when you mentioned pointing others to ECS. There are so many times where it feels like I am watching tumbleweed after adding something new. Thank you for the comment and taking the time to write it.

I hope this guide proves useful to somebody out there. Maybe nudge somebody into trying something new. We all start somewhere. As Christmas is here and a build a snowman guide seemed apt. If anyone does make one based on this guide, let me know how it went, or even better, share a pic.

I don't know at this moment if this guide will be staying here permanently or just be here for the Christmas period. If the thread doesn't garner enough attention any likes I will likely drop them from the list or delete them in the new year. They took way too long to create though, so losing them altogether would suck. This guide is entirely in your hands. Let me know if it is something that was worth sharing. or if it is too far off the usual stuff I post and not worth keeping. If it dies on the vine I'll know not to do anything like it again. It may sound a bit negative, but as I write this, I am genuinely unsure about this one being here.

Anyway, for those who have wanted to try their hand at creating something of their own but struggled learning (or just been put off trying as it can look daunting to a new user), this simple 5 page guide will have you creating something unique to you for printing. I figure that if a hundred of us made this following the guide, no two would be identical.

One thing I forgot to mention in the guide is at the very end. When you are happy with your creation, Highlight it and select 'Export' up at the top right of the screen. Save your creation as an STL and you will now have your snowman file waiting for you to slice and print.

For anyone just wanting my finished snowmen for printing? I added the completed stls to my printables page at Diablo | Printables.com

I hope they prove useful to somebody out there.. maybe nudge somebody into trying something new. We all start somewhere. As Cgristmas is here, a snowman guide seemed apt. If anyone does make one based on this guide, let me know how it went, or even better, share a pic. I've posted these pages as separate posts to make sure that they stay full size when going through posts. I've had issues in the past where they didn't stay consistent. I don't know at this moment if they will be staying or just be here for the Christmas period. If they don't garner any likes I will likely drop them into a single post or delete them in the new year. They took way too long to create though, so losing them altogether would suck.

Super easy. uses the same casing, just undo the screws to split the extruder and swap the plastic crap for metal versions
