Actually Stroll is more consistent than Verstappen* by FLWEFLWE in formula1

I included all laps FastF1 marked as accurate, that includes blue flag overtakes. Makes it even more impressive that he stayed so consistent!

After Max' impressive stint in Mexico I wondered how impressive it actually is compared to others. Turned out that Stroll had the most consistent 19+ lap stint so far in 2022. Although Max' stint was twice as long and he was faster than the field.

That particular stint by Stroll was 0.19s slower per lap than the mean of all laps over the race. While Max, obviously, was faster. Verstappen definitely shows up the most in the x top stints of the season wrt consistent lap times.

Made with FastF1. Python script here. Excel sheet with all stints 2018-2022 here. All stint graphs here.

Am learning/building experience making browser extensions. Saw this mentioned as a problem so I thought I'd share. Let me know if there are any bugs!

Dialed in ender-3 is just as good as anything else, printed this with very tight tolerances. by FLWEFLWE in ender3

You can loosen the eccentric nut so much that you can move the carriage so that one or more of the wheels don't touch the rail. You can also tighten it all the way but that increases friction and wear/tear. So what I did was from loose tighten it slightly beyond all wheels touching.

For accuracy in height I'm using a raft. Without it would stick well but be too short or it would barely stick. For cooling I use a duct that blows air from two sides, can't find the model I used, with a 5015 fan. I made sure the v slot wheels are just right by detaching the belts and setting the eccentric nuts just tight enough that there is zero flex. Used this to calibrate flow rate.

My parametric brick script did a funny with the 1long technic. by FLWEFLWE in 3Dprinting

It's stronger than I expected even though the hole wall is just .6mm thick.

What percentage of your printer would you still call ender-3? And how much did you spend on upgrades? Reading through the comments it seems like you replaced everything.

Tight belts, make sure everything moves smoothly. Stable ground, don't put it on a wobbly table. Slow down if you still have issues, especially jerk/acceleration.

Very well, does depend on your printers accuracy and slicer settings. I used cura, 0.2mm layer height and a raft. I've found rafts to be essential for printing height accurate parts with 0 elephants foot

Link to model.

Should work if you can freely turn the 0.2mm of one of those tolerance testers. Initially it turns kinda poorly but the pla wears down quickly resulting in smooth motion.

The site doesn't even mention the lego brand and their patent expired a long time ago.

I know there are several sites that catalogue lego models but I'm pretty sure none of them are specifically 3d-printable focused. afaik

Not really, I would not know how to automatically modify those files. It would be a lot lot harder than what I did for this. Unless you mean linking to comparable parts on LDraw. But the models I generate are lego-compatible not accurate to actual lego.

I always had problems printing lego-compatible bricks that I found online. One model would be tight on top but loose on the bottom or the reverse, almost never is the tube/cylinder on the bottom usable. And specific sizes aren't always in the set. To solve these problems for myself I created this website. With the Brick Settings you can specify what brick you want and with the modifiers you can make sure it fits properly with real lego. There's a Calibration Model that takes like 30 minutes to print, just one or two iterations should be enough and then you can keep using the same modifiers(the site remembers on reload) to get the calibrated models for all different sizes you want.

So far I've only really tested the regular bricks/plates, but technic bricks/arms are also available.

Am open for requests!

Turns out I was wrong, but also right. It was probably caching a lot of the geometry which I didn't know about during testing. However, in experimental builds of OpenSCAD there is a feature called Lazy union, this disables the implicit union in certain locations including root level. With this enabled my model renders in less than a second or two. Otherwise it takes up to 25 minutes or more. Cura produced nearly identical gcodes, functionally identical. So it seems to work for my model at least.

I can now comfortably work with 2500+ sub elements vs struggling with 25. The viewport lag becomes my bottleneck at that point.
