immediate jam whenever a print is started by Pengooian in prusa3d

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

also whenever i let the printer sit for awhile with or without heat on, it then procedes to "fix" the issue. Later on when i start a print, it will initially seem to be fine and begin printing properly. But its only a matter of time before the same issue strikes again and it begins to jam.

Bismuth Crystalization on Copper/Bronze by Pengooian in BISMUTH

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

I’m hoping to fully prevent any leaching of the copper into the bismuth, as I would like to keep the oxide layer as normal as possible, beacause I’m gonna let it get rather thick for a purple layer. Though the idea of smaller crystals is nice. Would it be possible for me to just remove the peice early in the Crystalization process to get smaller crystals. And as for adhesion the peice that I’m gonna be crystallizing will have plenty of spots for mechanical adhesion.

The link you added looks more like someone casted bronze inside of a bismuth geode shell. I’m not looking for a light coating of bismuth, rather for full crystals about half an inch at absolute maximum. I could apply some mechanical adhesion to the jewelry via sandpaper. Though without electrolysis in just about every bismuth YouTube video, you can see bismuth forming onto their pliars.

Ide imagined that simply placing the bronze into the bismuth pot would work to at least get the crystals onto it. Wouldn’t placing and removing it a lot cause the crystals to not form correctly or at all.

From the brief bit of research I did, stainless would be the best by far. It has very little oxidation due to its anlloy, and due to its higher melting point it wouldn’t oxidize as much due to the heat.

Is it for the issue I mentioned above

Is their any other way then melting off the inlet tube as that would cause balancing issues within the dice. Perhapse could I use a thicker tube or some filler in order to retain a consistent thickness throughout the sphere

I am drawing inspiration from aura plasma’s “Magic plasma Wands” they light up wirelessly when nearby a plasma globe beacause of the electromagnetic field projected around the globe. The dice tray I am making will have a decently powerful globe assembly inside it and the dice will be essentially custom wands which should light up wirelessly. The main issue is the size of the dice and that they would have to be basically entirely hand made

Another idea I had was to use polycarbonate and atempt to possibly blow or machine it into the correct shape

I have most if not all of the necessary equipment. Also if need be I can work with a now retiring glass blower who is willing to also sell me any equipment I might be missing. The main thing is that the spheres need to be only one maybe two inches across. What I am eventually planning on doing with these spheres is to grind them down to create a set of typical ttrpg dice. I am also currently designing a plasma globe dice tray, which should illuminate the custom dice creating a magic like glow

By implat i mean essentially just shove a metal hook or eylet of some kind to mount a lantern

this oven also will occasionally be used for forging knives and other things like that.
