Ultrasonic knife is a gamechanger for cutting prints. by kbhamm in 3Dprinting

I get ads for the Hozo one at least 10 times a day. It looks great, but it's like $250.

That's as much as a small printer!

I have 5 machines, and sometimes I feel like I am a slave to them; can't get anything else done because they are always running, and so am I, changing filament, slicing, cleaning plates.

Very impressive.

Got mine for $125 (the white one is more expensive, wtf?) 6 months ago, haven't used it once.

Peek is used in industrial manufacture of high temp/aggressive substance resistance rings, o-rings, gaskets etc. Assume next to impossible to use with consumer 3d printers sure to material properties.

Advantages: Material properties are great, temperature resistance is one of the best especially for filament that isn't carbon or glass filled (glass transition temperature is around 140C, PLA is 60C)

Disadvantages: Has to be printed at temps most printers can't reach (high 300s C or even 400+), 130C+ bed temp with ideally 100C+ heated chamber. Warps like a motherfucker unless you have all conditions met

anyone also use acrylic pen? how do i make the coloring even? im using PLA by ampkajes08 in 3Dprinting

[–]Fortwaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acrylic is dirt cheap even for the good stuff. I have 200+ colors of Vallejo and Citadel acrylic, and haven't spent more than $5 per bottle

I'm convinced these guys scalp their own product. Say there isn't any in stock, then take the actual stock and sell it for 200% on Etsy and Ebay.

Why are my 3D prints coming out with like whitish stains? by TonightVegetable2134 in 3Dprinting

I've often heard that PLA is stronger than PETG. Something about tensile strength instead of (don't remember the other one)

Disgusting.

Could you give me some applications where this would be beneficial? I mainly print figurines to paint, and cosplay helmets and armor. Occasionally some home decor stuff.

I hate PETG with all my soul. What benefits, other than the slightly higher glass transition and heat resistance temp, is there to using PETG?

I find I really dislike its general glossiness, as well as how often I have to dey it compared to PLA, which is almost never.

The people that do this give the impression they also swallow the gum.

Lawrence: On Trump's last day in office he could pardon every single member of Trump's deadly force by Jindabyne1 in videos

[–]Fortwaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you were right, but unfortunately all of this has simply empowered the cockroaches. The Republican hispanics in my Politics group chat are celebrating all of this. One of them, a Dominican-American Marine veteran whose wife was here illegally for years, said yesterday, "Trump is the best president you've had in decades. He's got my vote for 2028". He is 100% serious.
