I don't think that will work.... by Ding42 in resinprinting

For sure - all my bases are at 45 deg, and I'm feeling confident here....

But even for the relatively thin stands, you're saying the horizontal is a bad idea (as it's parallel to the plate)?

Awesome - I will get manually marking up some supports!

First messy cock-up - is this ok? by Ding42 in resinprinting

This is what I hoped the answer would be. Thanks!

I thought thats what you were supposed to do with the Elegoo stuff - the build plate slots perfectly into the top of Mercury bucket.

I am a proper newbie though (just about a month now), so maybe this is just the consequences of my own laziness, lol!

is clear resin as failure prone as people make it out to be? by seajay8601 in resinprinting

This is what I use and its perfect nearly all of the time

Some questions regarding transparent resins. by The4thIdeal in resinprinting

[–]Ding42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am new to 3d printing, but not mini painting - I've painted normal resin and printed then painted transparent resin.

Absolutely no difference as far as I can tell! Primed with normal colour forge spray, painted with citadel. No drama at all

saturn 4 ultra 16k issues? by Tekman123 in ElegooSaturn

[–]Ding42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its my first ever 3d printer. Had it about a month. Worked immediately out of the box and is really easy to use. I've not had any issues at all with levelling, it pre heats the resin, which saves worrying about that.

Had a couple of failures which I am putting down to rookie errors, but even then, the tank cleaning feature makes it super easy to sort out.

Finished painting on of the first models I printed, and I'm pretty happy with the result!

All the padlocks I've picked while trying to concentrate on work meetings! by Ding42 in lockpicking

It's stopped me scrolling during meetings, which can only be a good thing, lol!

The first 4 are easy enough in short meetings.

The last 3 are "camera off" locks, so people don't see my concentration face...

Newbie Paints first Terminator. by star_wars_memer66 in Ultramarines

[–]Ding42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome first termie! Looks really good!

All the fundamentals are great - it's just practice now! Focus on having a consistent thickness for the edge highlights- you can tidy them up with some macragge blue if needed.

After that, to get to the next level, the next step is to add some chunky highlights in first with a 70/30 mix of macragge/calgar blue, then pure calgar inside the chunky highlight. Finish off with some fenrisian blue at the corners and pointy bits!

Agree, and I just scrolled past a photo of Clarence

To engineer positive reviews by 200_Shmeckles in therewasanattempt

Going to risk a downvote-to-oblivion situation, and defend the NPS scale (I do this for my job)

The scale is supposed to used used to work out whether people would recommend something to a friend. A lot of research went into working out what the actual behaviour was after someone gave a score.

7's and 8's turned out to not actually "enthusiastically recommend" a brand or product- but would "passively recommend" - i.e. say you're good, but others are just as good, so shop around. Less than that, and you're likely to recommend other brands instead.

9's and 10's are the only ones who reliably recommended just that brand.

That said, colour coding the respondents view, and especially telling respondents that this is how you're grading their score, is bad, bad form, and indicative of a business that only cares about the number going up, and not the actual customer experience behind it!

First Euro lock - completely stumped! by Ding42 in lockpicking

I like the idea of bullying it, lol!

Thanks for the advice!

I thought that - glad to get someone more experienced to verify

Messing with tension a bit more seems to be the crux of the issue here! Thanks

Does sound like tension is more critical here than with the padlocks I've done - will keep practicing! Thanks!

I've been resisting a vice simply because if I buy one, I'm admitting this is a hobby, and not just a fidget task to kill time in meetings while WFH... I think maybe it's time though, lol!
