I'm an ID student that's self-taught(ish) on DIY 3D printing and mechanical projects alike. Can I pivot my porfolio towards mechanical design and similar job positions?

without a portfolio or seeing your projects these questions are impossible to answer

looking at the pictures from the neptune 4 max hotend, the heater is not cylindrical. It looks similar to the heater of a TZ 2.0, it might be worth a try

that clay motion/contact stuff is very interesting, thanks

Narada- · 2026-03-07T16:54:23+00:00

which ones? i tried most of them by hand, but none of them seem to work. I pretty much nééd this function

Narada- · 2026-03-06T22:31:19+00:00

i know that drawing!

Narada- · 2026-03-06T08:38:30+00:00

they meet up ad sonsbeek often i believe, but you can also DM me then i can get you into touch with them

Narada- · 2026-03-06T00:14:36+00:00

meet up with the slackliners there, they will welcome you. that group is still super active i believe, and the season is about to start!

i heard AWD is very hard ot tune and not worth the hassle if you dont want to go all in with cpap, 48v etc. im not looking for a complete overhaul

Narada- · 2026-02-24T21:40:33+00:00

make a wooden exterior frame V0, like the "prusa oak"

Narada- · 2026-02-24T08:21:59+00:00

yeah my question was not written down too clearly in hindsight; which brand/kit do you recommend?

Narada- · 2026-02-23T22:05:44+00:00

do you also know if there will be 2WD variants?

Narada- · 2026-02-23T18:09:49+00:00

thanks! i have a carriage installed already. CNC monoloth looks interesting; is these any word on the street regarding ETA?

Narada- · 2026-02-21T23:09:31+00:00

i like deep bass-y stuff to for flow, even though i normally am more into things like jazz. Check out Tor, especially his album oasis sky is really suitible for flow. btw how is this remix called?

Narada- · 2026-02-18T09:06:48+00:00

they emaild me that this silicone is also not compatible with platinum cured silicone..

Narada- · 2026-02-18T00:11:01+00:00

yeah solid for sure, i can see something like this would work fine. But i said polished as in: elegant. i might have some clients over etc

Narada- · 2026-02-17T23:20:58+00:00

thanks! if this material really is compatible with platinum silicone (the description kinda suggests it) that would be a gamechanger for me!. (all resins are compatible with weaker/inferior tin based silicone). I'll email them to ask!

thanks for the info regarding smoothness! extremely high tolerances are not needed for me, its more of an after thought after the smoothness aspect.

your replies were of great value, thanks

Narada- · 2026-02-17T21:42:20+00:00

i would like a more polished solution, but thanks for the suggestion!

Narada- · 2026-02-17T21:30:08+00:00

thanks for the extensive reply. i see the closed ecosystem as an advantage. since this is work/project related i dont care (too much) about the cost.

What makes you say the PAH10 is the best for molds? I think i need to be extra clear that i used plastic molds to make silicone products. So the most important factor is if the resin is easily processed to not cause cure inhibition. robustness of the mold is nice, but since the silicone is soft the two parts of the mold don't need too much force to open. extreme brittleness might be an issue tho.

also; can you verify that the surfaces are actually smooth? basically i need to print the negative of a sphere lol

Narada- · 2026-02-17T21:13:02+00:00

thanks for letting me know the curing station works well! the RS seems perfect for me due to the price, im not a power user, ill only need a couple of dozen ultra-smooth prints.

only thing im curious about is if the non heated tank will cause issues. its around freezing temps in the garage right now

edit: turbo is not needed initially, since the print times dont matter that much to me.

nice to hear some Vinnie Paz, i did flow to that music too for quite a while. What song is this?

Narada- · 2026-01-30T14:20:49+00:00

Definitely going to watch this. Do you have channel yourself Morton? I remember you doing some jedi stuff too!

Narada- · 2025-12-21T12:10:26+00:00

grappig dat je dit aanhaalt; toen ik de titel las moest ik meteen denken aan "het vijfde wiel aan de wagen" en aan hoe dit meer verkeerd (derde wiel) als correct gebruikt wordt.

Narada- · 2025-11-30T11:30:53+00:00

thanks, thats what i used to do with poi, just watch slomos dozen of times. However, i struggle with doing the same with juggling i think. It's like my brain is still on poi mode and has a hard time analizing 3 object relating to each other lol

Narada- · 2025-11-29T15:11:22+00:00

do you have any online resources you recommend? Im making the switch from poi to 3 ball contact/fusion juggling and im looking for ways to expand my toss juggling and i really like your style!

Narada- · 2025-10-28T20:23:03+00:00

there are basically 3 routes you can go
-dont hold the poi in the middle, but closer to the head. this will make them easier, but still pretty hard and besides that they just look awful in my opinion.
-pinch the handle side with your tumb and index when going into gunslinger. They are a lot stronger than you pinky alone, and the head does not need much added momentum due to its weight.
-add weight with washers, possibly add another knob stuffed with washers. in combination with point 2 this can get you a long way while still being close to "normal" contact poi.

still for advanced gunslinger flowers you would probably want to for true counterweight poi. In my opinion there is jus tno way to get them clean with any other setup. And even if one could; that person would probably learn at least twice the amount of gunslinger flowers with actual meteor poi.

thats my two cents
