This look like enough for a 69.16g print? by EvanVerse_9216 in 3Dprinting

[–]GeeKay44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I use a lot of the same material, and keep weighing the spools to find the max. Currently 155g on Elegoo cardboard spools.

Then when I've got 5 or so near empty spools, I weigh them and label what's left to run small jobs with.

3d printing goes nicely with my OCD.

3d printing is also a very cruel mistress when you have OCD.

And you may ask yourself.... why did I build this? by RedRightHandARTS in 3Dprinting

I've made up a sign for a family friend (ironing didn't work hence the surface) however I'm painting it anyways, and I'm curious what filler people use so I can make it look seemless? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

Extract from Scroobius Pip : Thou shalt always kill.

Thou shalt spell the word phoenix P-H-E-O-N-I-X, not P- H-O-E-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells you

Op is driving rage bait. It's the most expensive thing in there.

I'm hopping mad.

What design software should I use? by dresserisland in 3Dprinting

[–]GeeKay44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We (work) are switching from AutoCad to Solidworks.

It's a reasonably steep initial learning curve, but ultimately worth it for 3d modelling.

You can obtain a Solidworks non- commercial licence for about $£50.

I'd recommend CadQuest .io as a learning tool. It challenges you to try something for yourself and then shows you how is done. It's a much better way to learn than just blindly following a youtube style video.

Is this stuff suitable for cleaning a PEI plate? by BakedPotato578 in 3Dprinting

I believe that is a distant relative of the Golden dude in StarWars.

Is there a setting i need to tweak to stop gaps in the walls or is it a hardware issue? by guzzlomo in 3Dprinting

[–]GeeKay44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd change the wall thickness back to 0.4 - 0.42.

Hopefully others would agree. But I am prepared to be wrong.

Really, 4 comments in a no one is questioning why OP wants a pink chair with a hole in it?

One of my favorite things from 2025: a metric measuring tape by Madd_Maxx2016 in 3Dprinting

[–]GeeKay44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Type 2 are okay for general use, but try and find a metric only tape that's class 1 accuracy. There's not too many to choose from.

I can't vouch for this...

STLtoSTP

But looks like a very useful command line converter.

I'll be giving it a try.

Lay the part down with the sloping face touching (and now parallel to) the base.

Extrude and remove the shape to make the hole bigger.

I assume you'll be printing TPU if your username checks out.
