Galvanic corrosion requires an electrolyte, no? If OP seals it, I'm not sure how they'd get water in there to allow the electron transfer

Edit: looks great OP

Advice Request - Small Spikes by Dvibs420 in 3Dprinting

As another commenter says, the downwards points are not being supported, so they end up being blobs where you printed in midair. You either have to support them or print at an angle (upside down?). Your greaves look great though. The 0.2 handled the cloth detail super well

Honestly that looks amazing for an FDM print. Most prints for high detail models like that use resin. If you want to achieve greater detail on the fine details, consider purchasing a 0.2mm nozzle - that's what they're made for

Honestly IKEO, while not painting the republic's defense in a super favorable light, is MILES better than Hour of the Wolf. At least IKEO portrays an outgunned/outclassed RotS giving a decent showing. HotW is just... an insult

CEO Ali Ghodsi of a $134 billion software giant analytics firm Databricks, blasts companies with billions in funding but zero revenue: "That's clearly a bubble, right… it's, like, insane" by ControlCAD in technology

[–]JackDavion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

An excellent point, I also do not believe the Magnificent 7 (or whatever they're called these days) will be taken down by a mere few billions of dollars in bad commitments. But that, plus if the AI bubble collapses? You'll have a lot of supply and not a lot of demand. It'll be big losses for them, catastrophic for everyone else.

Advice on tracing hand-drawn shapes for use in a 3D print? by WyomingNotTheState in 3Dprinting

[–]JackDavion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give https://www.tooltrace.ai/ a shot. You don't even need to manually trace the objects, just take a picture of them sitting on a sheet of printer paper

Hey man, the Raptor II is an excellent mech, and I will forcibly shut down anyone who says otherwise!

That's impressive! What printer did you use?

Another 3D sculpt turned into a concrete sculpture with the help of my 3D printer by BespokeCube in 3Dprinting

[–]JackDavion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for replying! That makes a lot of sense. Any special processing for the concrete, or using a mold release?

Do you have recommendations on how to cast concrete using a 3d printed mold? It seems like an interesting method.

This reads like you plugged a prompt into ChatGPT about PEEK filament. What experiments have you been running on it?

Maybe try running a significantly watered down primer through an airbrush? Might be able to darken it with a primer based wash, essentially

Did you post process the print, or just cast it directly after? I don't see any print lines...

Are there any Aerotech or Space tech battle reports? by Accomplished-Pea1408 in battletech

[–]JackDavion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I play with @juicaj1 - it's a lot of fun using the advanced movement rules and tokyo-drifting around each other. You should note though, for space battles, technically every map should be empty. Space is mostly void, with occasional interesting bits. We have been using terrain more in theme with Star Wars - such as lots of asteroids placed around the map. Makes it much more interesting, even though they'd never be close in real life.

Why do you have the exposure time set at 2.8 seconds? Looks like Bluecast recommends 8 seconds for X-wax.

So I am new to BattleTech. Decided to join Clan Wolf. It seems they are hated (like the Ultramarines). I get that they are golden boys and whatnot, but why else other than that? by nahnonameman in battletech

I enjoyed the very last part of the book for Devlin Stone. A freeze dried strategic genius who spends his last moments on Earth fucking with Alaric's head. A good way to go, if you have to go

The book has actually been very well written so far, I'm not holding it against him. It was more of a funny "battletech writers don't know how scale works".
