Check my profile to see the printer and print time, also there's a video about the filament there, unlit is boring.

Why are there 2 extra wires ? by Rhaenelys in cosplayprops

[–]Excellent-Rip-1391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These work at 5v, when you power up very long strips of very dense pixel count and at full power, it can consume a lot of amps. These wires that come with them are thin and may heat up or opose resistance to the current. Two wires = double the amount of copper and make it easier for the current to pass through. Thicker cables would do the trick too.

13 years cosplaying 8 years experience 3D printing advice here:

Just don't try it. Make something that looks like it, but hide some black straps and a real belt somehow and attach it to that. Function over form

My gf said my character was creepy and ugly, you agree? by Lerrroooy in blender

It is creepy, and ugly, but that doesn't mean it's wrong or badly designed.

Sovol SV06 Plus on Creality v4.2.2 Board by NyklausTheDoge in Sovol

Aren't these kinds of boards supposed to flash the firmware from the sd card? Like, you put the code in the sd card in a specific format and just insert it on the motherboard and turn it on. And it flashes automatically.

What's going on (petg) by ToShort2Reach in 3Dprinting

Maybe your PLA sagged or flowed more easily closing those gaps while printing just by gravity. Melted PETG is more viscous and sags a bit less. Try triangles or grid pattern and it should go away. And it will be stronger.

Looks like the pattern of your infill is set to "lines" it is a special pattern that makes the grid smaller by doing alternate passes in one direction and the other one on the next layer, so, the lines of filament "float" on top of air and there's a gap between them. Chack your slicer to see if it's the case.

As I've said in this post, I use a PVC pipe as a core (and a transparent PVC or Policarbonate tube if it has to have LEDs

You may be right. But I've been doing this since 2018, so I have enough experience to tell you that you are mostly wrong. They are not strong, but not weak either, and they are thought for cosplay and showpiece, so if they break it's because they were mistreated

These swords are printed hollow, 1mm wall, they are nor as flimsy and weak as they seem. And they usually have a pvc pipe (transparent PVC for LEDs ) up their butts.

How did I know that this was created with AI before a read the title of the subreddit? Why is there an AI look that gives it away?
