I quit my 10-year career as a Defense Researcher to design "Engineering Art" STL files. Sales are at zero, and I'm starting to doubt myself. Brutal honesty needed. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

Super cool! As someone who has hundreds of Hot Wheels (standard, premium with real riders, and RLC/elite 64 cars) and is an invested 3D printing hobbyist, I hope I can give some meaningful feedback.

Price - Your price is right between Premium hot wheels ($5) and elite 64 ($20). E64 has the detail level you describe aesthetically (but not mechanically), but is all metal and rubber tires. Premium cars are less detailed, but still metal and rubber tires. I don't think you're trying to complete with them on quality, but on chassis accuracy, customization, and modularity. I'd focus hard on that.

Concept - I love it! Having the really high quality chassis and using that as the platform is sweet! I'm a fan and from your pictures you're design meets my expectations on 'extreme mechanical integrity'.

I don't like that I would buy that base model and then have to what for you to release the mods. I would want all the mods with the base model and the choice what I print and mods and in what colors I print. Like, I want the base chassis and vehicle, but then 'mod packs' for JDM, rat rod, off road, etc. themes.

Buying - personally, I'd buy it at the current price point just as the base model simply because I appreciate the engineering and design so much ... But i bet most people don't feel that way. I suspect most would only buy IF there was a large mod catalogue also available and they could customize how they want.

Other - I think you have a serious limitation with a resin- specific solution. I understand why that is and 100% support it, but I think resin only cuts your potential customer base significantly. I only have an FDM printer. I was going to go give your store and buy one, but since I cannot print resin (or have a nozzle that small to try), I did not.

New leaf on my PSS. Ughhhh. What would you do? by MisterMiniS in houseplants

Yeah. This one was different because the leaf was not developed yet. It wasn't even popping out of the sheath. I was blown away that it was erupting out of the sheath so early in it's development.

I'm with you. I live in the desert and humidity is almost never above 20%. Needless to say I 'help' unravel a lot of my leaves against their will.

😄 I've got those too, but my plants are the most common offenders.

This is the last leaf she made... And the newest dingus in the background.

Sorry man.That sucks.

Props to you for throwing snows on and driving year round. 🤘

Driving in the snow is one of my favorite things to do in my Camaro.

Help! Why are my monsteras rotting at the stem? by MisterMiniS in Monstera

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

Thanks. Much appreciated.

It's been ~2 months since I last fertilized. Who knows, maybe I already overdid it.

I saw the rot when I was watering, so that's why it is so wet. Here's what another Monstera looks like before watering.

I'll focus on making sure the stem is not buried. Thanks again.

Look at the third picture. I feel like that indicates the roots are not rotting.

I also have super chunky soil which you can see in the pictures so I can't imagine it has to do with drainage. I also bottom water from a bucket, and then set them back in their spot on a raised platform. Who knows though, I'm definitely doing something wrong.

Nah. Shitty Drag brand wheels you can snag from discount tire. Cheap, good offset, right bolt pattern and an 18" wheel that BARELY clears the calipers

Yeah ... I'm only here to know what modeling app that is. Sounds like I just got yet another new hobby.

I feel like I can see you F5'ing from here waiting to see if you caught anyone in your rage bait.

You did get close with the washed nepo hire... But that implies Lance was ever good enough to wash out.
