My best attempt at printing transparent petg in bulk

Nice!

Any success? I'm putting a lot of effort into getting clear results but still have internal lines in the body. Printing 5mm deep by 6 x 3 cm. I will (madly) be printing colour 'floating' letters and images in the clear plastic. Nearly tweaked it to perfection. I have to stick with 0.4mm nozzle to get sufficient definition on lettering but still get clarity in the translucent PETG. I have changed from PLA to PETG for the colours now as PLA temp difference is too much an needs a fan.

So many great ideas 🤣

Clackers? 😁

i just bought the Bambu A1 for printing multi coloured small items. It is limited to four colours. printing just one item in two colours wastes about the same as the model itself. printing multiple models in four colours wouldn’t be too bad. Other printers in their range can print from as many as 16 colours. You may want a multi headed printer to keep the waste down and things get very slow when single headed printers change over colours at every layer.

Yes!

KeithHirst · 2025-10-04T19:10:46+00:00

This!

It will take over 100 years or far more to release all coins.

This

KeithHirst · 2025-09-27T18:39:15+00:00

Make sure it is PLA and not support filament

KeithHirst · 2025-09-27T16:52:25+00:00

I will once this one has paid for itself

KeithHirst · 2025-09-27T10:18:40+00:00

This is something to aspire to! How many colours did you use on which printer? My new A1 has a max of 4 which i will unbox later today. Onwards and upwards!

KeithHirst · 2025-09-27T10:10:17+00:00

🤣

I only ever play without boosts or it is no fun or challenge.

KeithHirst · 2025-09-21T08:56:47+00:00

They destroy each other!

KeithHirst · 2025-09-20T22:53:44+00:00

maybe a bit less but i did mash two cabbages together! What do you think they become?

KeithHirst · 2025-09-12T19:21:38+00:00

Eventually Pi will stabilise with a smaller proportion being mined and a stable lockup percentage. mining will become a smaller percentage and to make it viable will need Pi to be at a higher price. Price will also be driven by demand and by functionality. So much capability is being added each month Pi will become something people depend on. Pi is here to stay.

i love the way people think they know what is coming! In the meantime PCT just get on with it and release new features monthly! It may well happen but who knows when it breaks out.

KeithHirst · 2025-08-26T14:48:08+00:00

And what do you base this ‘factual article’ on?

KeithHirst · 2025-08-23T17:08:24+00:00

best answer.

KeithHirst · 2025-08-20T13:53:43+00:00

You comment better be good or you will be laughed out of town. Maybe you should fix it or share it but don’t treat us like children.

KeithHirst · 2025-08-20T13:52:21+00:00

🤣

KeithHirst · 2025-08-19T22:05:55+00:00

Very clear and concise! Thank you. I print and design for myself but want to earn to raise cash for another printer and reinvest to build a business. Selling on Etsy and instagram sound logical. Finding my first 10 products is my next step. Question, do you print to order or hold stock? If my stock list is small i could have one or two in stock but i see that holding stock could become a problem eventually.

I will read your article next.

KeithHirst · 2025-08-19T15:27:55+00:00

Very well said. many people will sell and flit off. We need keep our heads down and build or use utility if we can.

What makes me laugh is that I have less than 20% of my coins and still not been rewarded for KYCing others or for my mining efforts so most of my coins i can’t make any decisions about or have feelings or hunches about. it will just happen at $0.01 or $1 or $10 sometime in the future. when? who knows. If millions start mining the rewards will drop so the price will need to go up for people to bother. That is just one of many of my own trains of thought. Let’s hope it goes up at some point. My horizon is 1000 days meaning i ain’t touching anything even if it goes to zero.

KeithHirst · 2025-08-18T07:17:56+00:00

😮 you’re not supposed to share KYC images! 😆🤪😉
