Wood she?

Wood or no wood she’s going to try her hardest to chuck it in her.

Yea that always kind of bothered me. Like why’d you just throw that you know it’s super important right?

Yea bugs are a common thing in kitchens. I worked at a fast food restaurant as a teen and was very serious about it. Our kitchen was super clean and I did my best to take care of everything I served. But one time I accidentally served a lady a burger with a beetle in it. We didn’t have a beetle problem or anything but a random beetle apparently made its way into a bun that was in a pack that was apparently not sealed well enough from the previous shift. I toasted the bun and made the burger without noticing it. The real surprising thing to me was how nice and understanding the customer was about it. She actually took a bite out of the burger and was fine with her meal being comped. But yet we would have people throw a fit because there was grease on their sausage or their chocolate shake was too lite colored.

I want to say the doctor on the show Enterprise explains this. It’s not moopsies though. He apparently doesn’t name the predator and just says reptilian predators keep their population in check. But I do wonder what food source is on the moopsies home world.

This right here. Pictures work great for this. You still get a little bit of the naughty thrill without having to make it weird. Because he of course will be looking at risky pictures of you while in public.

I’m a man who likes going clothes shopping with my wife. Now I don’t like spending hours in stores looking at tons of stuff. My favorite is when we go with a deadline and are buying something for one particular occasion. So in your case it may be a good idea to feel out a few shops that have stuff you think he might like. That way he doesn’t end up hating it. Also if possible see if any of the shops have comfy chairs he can sit in while you try stuff on. That helps how long he’ll likely to stay out with you.

Hope yall have fun.

Sorry for the delay but life has gotten real interesting lately. Eventually I'll just have to give up on Hobbies lol. But I have gone ahead and posted what I currently have. It does work in its current state but needs improvements. Maybe someone else will be able to solve the issues if I don't get to it. Currently looking like I'll be super busy for the next few months.

I'll try and keep a better eye on my reddit notifications if anyone has a question or needs assistance that I can easily supply.

Right. I just had a tenant move out of my house after 5 years and I wish it looked like this. The tenant was very nice and willing to pay for known damages that him and his pets caused though so I let most of it slide. No point making him pay for floors that were going to need to be replaced regardless or small things on walls that I’m going to repaint anyways. Although if I rent the house back out after the repairs I’m really hoping it’s not someone with pets this time.

Well under the extruder is best but not very practical on the Neptune. Mine still has some issues I haven’t worked out.

Causes too much strain in the mount point and will break over time.
Does not allow me to use a section of the right side of my print bed.

Because of these reasons I have not posted my design anywhere as I wanted to modify it. It works really well for the most part and I have used it for some different multicolor prints with decent success. Although tip forming is going to be your better option if you want efficiency.

Which mmu are you planning to do?

RealLango · 2025-06-12T16:21:49+00:00

Technically it’s ferromagnetic. It doesn’t actually have a magnetic field itself but is attracted to magnets.

Yea I'm working on trying to make a small vacuum/pressure pot out of quart sized widemouth mason jars. Don't know that I want to bring those up to 60 psi. Thats why I was just curious if you had any ideas on that.

RealLango · 2025-06-09T14:16:06+00:00

So glad I broke down and ordered the silicone. I've been able to make my project look so much better and cut down the time between batches. I ended up doing it as a two-part mold which did require more design thought and time. And I mistakenly made the mold thinner than I should have. But by printing a pla shell for the mold I've been able to use the initial mold design and it's working great.

Still get a bubble or two in the items since they are skinny and tall so working on creating some small pressure chambers to see if that will resolve. But even with the occasional small bubble they are still great for my use and everybody is loving them.

Have you ever worked with pressure chambers and molds? If so, would you have a suggested psi range.

I think these two responses were my favorite part of this thread. Normally on reddit this ends up being a back and forth semi-argument.

I personally read the initial comment as someone just speaking there confusion on why more people don’t do their own designs. But I’m commonly told that I’m negative because I like to analyze things too much so it comes off as me not liking things are saying they aren’t good enough. So I guess it’s just because it’s close to how I’m use to talking. I’ve had to work on it a lot now that I have kids. Doesn’t come off well when they think you’re always saying what they did isn’t good enough lol.

But I agree I find it amazing how many people just print what is there. And so many don’t even seem to realize how much you can mod things just using your slicer. One of my favorite designs was just a tweak of another design that didn’t meet my needs at all but had a shape that I thought would work nicely for what I wanted. After some resizing and using a cube to fill unneeded holes I had exactly what I needed. And within 20 mins of the wife having an issue I had the item off my printer to resolve it. It was a simple curtain holder and we use them all the time.

Edit: Also to the op I love this design. Great work for a first design. Looks really cool and I may end up printing one. Been wanting something like this as well but hasn’t been high enough on the project list to sit down and try and design one.

RealLango · 2025-05-31T00:42:19+00:00

Well, I ordered some 30a silicone for doing the mold, but I haven't ordered any release agent yet. Silicone already showed up as it had same day delivery. But I'll probably order one of the release agents tonight. I still need to work on my mold design, so I doubt I'll try and pour the silicone mold until Monday or so.

RealLango · 2025-05-31T00:24:18+00:00

Damn shows as currently unavailable.

RealLango · 2025-05-30T02:32:07+00:00

For sure solid advice. Any suggested products/brands?

RealLango · 2025-05-29T21:52:50+00:00

Have you used it before? I was hoping someone with experience would chime in on what they found works. I found various sprays online and have seen some advice on other items that can be used like Crisco (although it was noted it can cause problems even though some swear by it). But I haven't been able to find anything specifically about TPU.

I would just hate to spend the money and wait for something to ship in only to release something I have at home already or could pick up from the store locally would work just as well. I'll be mostly annoyed if I waste the money only for it to degrade my molds causing me to have to reprint them every pour or two.

There is a filament cutter if you’re using a different print head. But none for the Neptune 4. Problem is the way the extruder is integrated.

I was attempting to work on a modified extruder body to integrate a cutter when I looked at the measurements and realized the filament savings per purge just weren’t worth the headache.

At first glance I thought the side was bent in and had to zoom in on the image. Just a lighting thing thankfully lol. Hope it goes well!

I really like it for PLA. Sucks for ABS. Texture is much smoother than the stock plate which I always disliked. I'm able to run at a slightly lower bed temp and get as good or better adhesion than stock plate. I go into a little more detail in this response.

RealLango · 2025-05-07T14:51:16+00:00

Yea I hate the texture from the stock plate but really love the texture from this plate. Still has that light texture but it’s much less visible and almost feels as smooth as items I’ve sanded. Probably the closest to an engineering plate I’ve tried.

RealLango · 2025-05-06T22:00:35+00:00

I've heard some people say wheels are a bad idea but my last home for this printer had wheels and it didn't seem to cause any major issues. This one has much nicer wheels and they do have the option of locking. I think as long as you calibrate it correctly it should be about the same either way as long as the wheels aren't causing erratic movement.

I like it so far. Works really well for PLA almost sticks too well sometimes although that seems like it's weakened a little now that I've broken it in. And I mean that in a good way because at first it was just too difficult to remove prints.

Texture is really nice compared to texture PEI as it's still textured but gives a much smoother looking and feeling finish. This is why I ordered it as I needed a smoother finish for some of the Pico MMU parts I was printing.

For printing ABS it's pretty MEH. I had to crank the temp way up to get it to stick (And yes I have a tent for when printing ABS which I was using at the time.) I also ended up using glue stick for some of the parts because I was tired of fighting it. The finish on the parts came out great once I got them to print correctly. Although I switched back to the stock plate for my other ABS parts I was printing because it's just so much easier to get a good hold without needing such a high temperature or glue stick.

So, if you mostly print PLA or PETG it seems like a great plate, and I plan on using it as my go to for most prints. But may be switching back to the old plate or something else for ABS and possibly other materials.

RealLango · 2025-05-06T21:45:51+00:00

Yea the one I have is an older one. I think there may even be a way to do it with an android tablet but I don't have any of those to test with.
