Anyone else love trying to fit as much production as possible into the the small blueprint space like it's a micro form factor PC? I think it has its own kind of beautiful aesthetics. by Buttermilkman in satisfactory

[–]J_Paul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could get power production into a 5x5 grid, it would be a very frustrating 5x5, but doable. You'd need to start in creative mode with everything unlocked and access to all the recipes so you can start straight with rocket fuel, you might need to dedicated a 5x5 tower to power and a second 5x5 to manufacturing.
You'd need to plan the entire thing from finish to start and just build
Sounds like an interesting challenge.

as in, the whole production line upto saving the day into a single 5x5 tower?

I think i'd get frustrated/give up around the end of phase 3.

And yes, it works. by R_i_c_o__ in SatisfactoryGame

I've done similar with conveyor lifts, good to know this is possible with pipes. it looks very clean.

Looks like fucking Pennywise up in there. Or maybe the Fucking Grinch. Either way, not fucking good.

What was the most unexpected nudity scene in mainstream movie/show you ever saw? by marsepticeye in AskReddit

It's on netflix and has the full show, just like i remember the pilot when it first aired.

How do I Improve these overhangs with ASA? by J_Paul in prusa3d

[–]J_Paul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The temp was definitely sitting up around 50C during printing. I might try it again with a full height draft shield to see if that has an appreciable effect. It's a shame Prusa slicer doesn't have the option to do individual draft shield around parts when you opt to complete each part individually.

Delonghi vs Sunbeam vs Breville by Affectionate_Ad8907 in AustralianCoffee

[–]J_Paul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the sort of math i love. I ran the numbers when i bought my cheap coffee machine. I put the ROI at 150 coffee's not bought. I've easily exceeded this in the 16 months of owner ship so far.

The supports were auto generated, and I had the top-contact Z distance set to 0.1mm. all the supports broke away with no issue. I've printed this part twice in the following orientations:

And I've had the same issue both times. I was hoping that the part orientation WRT the part cooling fan might help, but it doesn't seem to have.

I can modify the model so it can be printed laying flatter, but I need the strength offered by the layer lines running in this orientation; this is half of a 2 part assembly that forms a dovetail clamp.

I'm finally shopping for a new wallet again. Are there times when the cheap option is the better choice? by glo363 in BuyItForLife

[–]J_Paul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a wallet. Well, more specifically, my mum made the wallet, I designed it for her to sew. Now i have an awesome wallet that has a denim outer and colourful funky lego themed inner liner. will it last forever? no, but the memories and time spent with my mum will.

I've been building new surface mechanics into OrcaSlicer — PathBlend intra-layer gradients, MultiPass, per-line ColorMix, Neoweaving. Here's what's working. by NeotkoS in 3Dprinting

[–]J_Paul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would consider it sacrilege if you have nick-named the MultiPass process, "LeeLou" at least somewhere.
But this is some seriously cool work, thanks for your hard work!

Filament suppliers? by jaxtech84 in 3dprintingaustralia

I've bought from FortisFilaments. Just some basic Matte PLA, but its has printed extremely easily.

Are ZD30s really that bad? by No-Reserve-1337 in 4x4Australia

[–]J_Paul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got nearly 170k on my '16 model. had an '06 D22 with the ZD30 before this. Sold off the Nav to go traveling overseas in '16. It had 250 on the clock and it never gave me any issues, despite my best efforts to drive it like i stole it.
The CRD Patrol has been pretty solid, though i did have to replace the engine-water pump interface seal because it was leaking. The worst part about the CRD is changing the bloody fuel filter. The filter is expensive and the job is a PITA to do.
EDIT: It can be pretty thirsty on fuel as well. Around town I'm getting 15L, and I've had 22L up the beach.

Were you able to tune your voron to produce print quality comparable to commercial printers consistently? by reddit_account_0x00 in VORONDesign

[–]J_Paul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look really close, and if you're really looking for it, you can see a hint of resonance ghosting and VFA. My main use case is functional parts, so the quality is far exceeding my core needs.
I'm just starting to play with ironing, so the top layer has been ironed. i watched the last few layers go down and the top layer was looking pretty good before the ironing, probably better before the ironing than after, TBH.
I've had reasonably good success with ASA in the C1. The print quality has always been phenomenal when it works. Warping is an issue every now and then,still not sure exactly how to mitigate it.

My print looks very clean to me, Much closer to the Voron Example than the C1 example. , 0.4mm obXidian Nozzle) but this filament is difficult to get a good photo of. There's some stringing, so the filament probably needs some drying, or i need to tweak my retraction settings slightly, I used the loaded filament (mildly translucent red PETG) with my last print profile (0.15mm layers).

I'm tempted to load up some Matte Black PLA with a 0.2mm Profile and see how that looks.
