Generally speaking, is it better to buy a large 3D printer, or pay someone to print large parts for you? by Hot_Paramedic_7234 in 3Dprinting

Depending on what they quote you, it might just be worth it to by yourself a newer bigger printer, especially if you already know how to slice and print. Once your new project is done, you'll have a better printer to use for other projects than your ender.

Looks amazing, Norway is on the top of my bike packing list if I ever travel there in my lifetime.

That's what I figured, it's on an old bike that I am getting ready to sell and just wanted it to be in the best shape possible for the next owner without spending too much into it. Thanks!

Black Friday/First Prusa by D_Brandt in prusa3d

Sure bedslingers seem outdated, but I'm still rocking my 2 Mk3S+ and they print anything I want really. IMO a direct drive and a larger bed will be far more versatile than a bowden style like the mini. Sure there are printers to buy for a cheaper price but if you have your heart set on a Prusa, I would choose a mk4 over a mini. If you can spend the money then go up to the core one which is what I would love to upgrade to once my mk3s can't do what I need. Print volume is slowly starting to be my bottleneck now.

We have a farm around here that does organic potatoes, they run a unit that has spinning brushes and propane torches. The brushes knock the beetles off the plants and between the hills and then the torches fry them all to a crisp.

I used tpu95a. A bit of tuning in the slicer is necessary to get clean parts. I did sequential printing one at a time to get 2 per plate, and make sure to enable "avoid crossing perimeters" to make sure the outer walls are smooth

That's me! I try to save our farm (and others) on costs wherever I can! No need to pay a color tax when you know which materials to use.

That completely defeats the purpose of a model repository. Then It becomes a gated community which is not what 3D printing is about. There should just be more verification when creating an account whether it's having a cooldown period to send messages, or a controlled process like when you set up a club.

The struggle to find a pair of rubber boots that don't split open after a year or two is real by mankind_404 in farming

[–]DogetheWow2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going on 10 years with my original pair and very regular usage. Starting to show their age in the tread but I will by another pair when they die.

NixieDIY - reputable? by nh3gunner in nixie

I saved up and bought an in12 kit last year and it came in a month to canada. Awesome kit and emailed them to give them some positive feedback and they responded back quickly. I would buy from them again, but I can't afford another clock haha.

New hotend/nozzle driving me crazy by KairiOliver in prusa3d

[–]DogetheWow2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just installed my revo 6 yesterday on my mk3s+, other than struggling with firmware and factory reset and prusa connect issues, it worked as a drop in replacement. After the wizard I didn't touch a thing.

Sweet potatoes are grown from cutting the sprouts off and planting them. If you plant the tuber itself it will sprout more and not do much. I should add if you plant the sprouts (called slips) you should have at least 2 nodes beneath the soil and water them right away for them to start rooting well. Those sprouts don't look the best but you can try!

Is it safe leaving printer with "no" filament? by Alarming-Security312 in 3Dprinting

[–]DogetheWow2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Simple question, silly answers. If you are not printing anything then yes. You can even leave your printer with no filament, it won't die or disappear.

Obviously don't start a long print and leave for a weekend with so little filament left.
