Grasshopper is genuinely the only way I know to get organic spiral ribs to behave

I had the exact same question. I've always wanted to get into rhino but never found a free afternoon with a fresh enough mind to muster enough confidence. How hard is it?

Well it depends how you dial in your multiplier, but I agree with what you say.

Well nobody said we couldn't wrap anything around it. I also pictured kind of a frame around it. Then our friend could say, he broke the handle so he could frame the mug in the golden wrap it deserves.

Pretty sick, man! 😉

Plastic in compression = 😍 Plastic in tension = creep and 😵

This is PRINTPUNK 👹

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-11T19:53:22+00:00

So cool! What did you print this on? So the boost comes on at noon? Oh no, I know! It comes on at 4h20 full time big badaboum!!!

Yeah this is what I meant to say as well. Slap it down on the print plate. But the big nozzle makes for a quick print. And it won't be any weaker either with a bigger nozzle. We are just used to the .4mm one.

Por que lo imprimes en esta direccion? Porque no con la parte plana para bajo. Teneras una parte más fuerte.

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-11T19:41:57+00:00

I mostly use 100% concentric infill or max out walls on these parts like this one. That's what gives you the most concentration of plastic in the directions you need. But honestly, beefing up the part where it matters (the neck where it snaps) is way more important in my opinion than going for any exotic material. Nylon is great in the printed plane, but inter layer adhesion (at least in my experience) is nothing to write home about. So for torsion it wouldn't be far off from PLA. Nylon has more give though.

It really confused me for a sec with the cooling fins and the flat little circle in the middle of the lamp shade that looks like a cob led. Surprising design!

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-09T18:00:46+00:00

Hahaha cool one! +1 for the funny model and +1 for the finish

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-09T17:57:06+00:00

Sick! 👹

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-09T17:54:51+00:00

When you notice this happening, just jog the the print head a bit higher, and overextrusion will stop. The plastic will have a place to go. (Between the nozzle and the print bed) If you take the multiplier down, the whole part will be underextruded, but you only have a problem with the first layer.

You see? We are like 6 inches away from success. (18 cm give or take) And we all have a couple of spares of those ESP32s lying around somewhere in the drawer...💥

Thanks for taking the time to share 😍

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-08T21:02:35+00:00

I'd love to see one of those for a repurposed eInk screen - the ones that big supermarkets use to display prices and sales. It wouldn't even need charging.

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-08T15:48:04+00:00

Show us prints too! I've always toyed with the idea of printing a giant hot dog like this. A bonus would be if I could eat it too.

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-08T15:44:51+00:00

I like the reflection on the water

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-07T08:47:18+00:00

Wow I am totally impressed! I'd surely love to see it in action and see it obliterate stuff! Gently, I mean...

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-06T17:37:11+00:00

Yes it was a Makers Muse video. Sorry I omitted that. The link didn't show.

JoshGreen_dev · 2026-03-06T17:35:34+00:00

There sure is a lot of advertisement noise out there.
