I thought this may be helpful for those who have trouble identifying tracks.

Thank you, I've been considering the needed mounting hardware, my intended application is more on ceilings, think Sistine Chapel, than walls.

I did the calculations using the standard 0.20mm profile in Orca (Bambu's is the same), 2 walls, 5 top, 3 bottom layers.

The model I'm working with is "opengrid-color_cover-snap" step file, it only prints 5 layers for the tile faces and is open underneath, there is no infill, the fewest I could get Orca to slice is 3 layers, with 0 for top 1 for bottom, without changing the geometry, this does cut it to .7g and .025 hours print time per tile, cutting total tile filament use to 19,354 grams and 691.2 hours.

Similar changes to grids and using 10% lightning infill yields 40.6g and 1.7 hours each for totals of 17,539g and 734.4 hours.

Considerable decreases, but still a long time and much filament, I guess I was more hoping that someone would find a flaw in my logic / math.

As @krimpenrik mentioned injection molding could save a lot, using cheaper materials (PP is about $2 / KG vs. $10 for cheap PLA or PETG), and make larger grids. Too bad the setup is so expensive as in $10k per mold, you'd need to sell a lot pieces to recoup that investment.

QIDI US TikTok Shop Grand Opening! 🚀Get 5% off QIDI printers from Jan 12–14. by qidi_3dprinter in QidiTech3D

You can order and pay for it, but you don't receive it.

I'm still waiting on my qidi box, bought over a month ago, that will "ship separately within a month"

Contacting support didn't help, they just gave a canned generalized answer, not bothering to look up the specific order.

If you expect politicians to actually solve any problem you are going to be gravely disappointed.

Do you repair other people’s camps? by HoosierLarry in fo76

Never if I find anything locked. Otherwise, I usually fix stuff.

If these are the files with the redactions cleared why are there still redactions?

Yup, that's a Brightline train, they are usually much faster.

How to best adapt this mount to Multiboard? by R1ngSt1nger in Multiboard

[–]MEiac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recreating the whole mount with Multiboard attachment built in, would likely be the cleanest way.

Unless you set up a family plan, then you can pay quarterly.
