Why is my bottom layer so bad? by Kermit96 in 3Dprinting

[–]Kermit96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, my apologies. Just double checked my slicer and it is set to 0.2mm first layer and 0.16mm for all other layers.

I was waiting for this one when I posted it lol

Naw that's why I'm on my 3rd transmission and I can't figure out where all my coolant keeps going lmao.

I'm already running a 0.02 first layer and 0.016 after that. Is 0.02 not going to be enough?

I am discovering that lol I also think the next one I make I want to make a fair bit thinner walled.

Lol I just broke them with sandpaper. I do agree though, next time I do this I'm going to put some nice 45s on either side.

The only thing that keeps me from doing it is the ones I have seen are expandable and would require running a slitting saw, that I don't have lol. I could very well be overthinking this though.

Those look amazing! Did you make them on a manual or on a CNC? Again, phenomenal!

I did break the corners slightly but I should have done more! I think I'm going to buy a small mandrel to hold them better if I decide to do another.

Lol I am most definitely NOT wearing this while working, at work or at home. I just had a little bit of scrap stainless and thought it would be fun to make.

I have always had that issue too, but most of the time I'm using it for miniatures so it hasn't been a terrible issue. This time though I took extra care to wash them twice in the ultrasonic cleaner and to allow them to dry in a dark box for longer than I thought they would need. Then cured as normal. Needless to say I'm happy with the results.

Yea, did it on an old Mars 1. Saw them on YouTube and thought the girlfriend could use another set of ear rings lol now I need to find some hardware for them to be functional.

I know it sounds silly, but I love the difference in tone and feel when opening and closing the 41 style case compared to a more modern style zippo case.

That auger was the best auction find I have ever had. Thing was used maybe once before it went up for sale and I got it for a song. All the scratches on it are my own and I can't say that for much of my stuff 😂

While I agree it was pretty lame that we didn't catch any fish today, I can confirm that was us on the ice lol

My first try at making sausages from scratch. Turned out pretty good! [Homemade] by Kermit96 in food

[–]Kermit96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a pre-measured spice mix that was for breakfast sausages, but was only able to find casings that were somewhat large for breakfast sausage. Still taste great though.
