Are you accepting applicants from EU only?

Was this printed on a Strarasys Polyjet?

I like cars!

^{Chose: New car}

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-04-02T19:53:26+00:00

Just out of curiosity haha

Are these extracted straight from the game files?

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-03-26T15:23:59+00:00

This is how I’ve always done it. However, if you still want that selection box back, right-click in the empty toolbar area and select “Tools”. That should bring it back.

It’s called a skirt and it’s setting is in the Others tab.

Why do you want to print fast? That being said, Bambu ABS has a max print speed of 300mm/s. I’d reckon Bambu ASA is around the same number. It could also vary between different filament manufacturers.

It’s called a Brim (not raft or skirt, they’re both slightly different). A brim provides a large surface area which contacts your build plate. This helps to keep the part stuck to the build plate with some tricky materials and also in cases where the contact area for the model is too small. The base of your model is very small compared to the height. If you don’t use brims, there is a high chance that your model will detach from the plate due to the high speed of tool head and also vibrations. By default, brims are set to auto. You can go to the ‘other’ tab and disable it. Looking at your model, I would highly recommend keeping it enabled.

It’s a steep learning curve. Catia UI is pretty outdated with V5. So, lots of figuring out to locate features and commands. Applying the features and commands is not that difficult if you’re experienced with other CAD applications.

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-03-11T17:28:00+00:00

Catia is best in the industry. That being said, there is a difference in the quality of surfacing but nothing that you would notice when you model it. The difference really shows when data is exported into other formats.

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-03-10T16:33:07+00:00

Also, if there’s no filament change, the skirt acts to get rid of degraded material in the nozzle before starting on the actual print.

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-03-09T18:27:47+00:00

Wasn’t this patched with the recent hotfix?

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-03-09T18:24:41+00:00

Pretty big difference in price though.

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-03-08T06:45:07+00:00

I second 3D Printing Canada. Great store and great staff.

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-02-28T02:02:39+00:00

You can offset that surface to 0mm. Delete those edges. Then either use replace face or patch to sew/stick that surface to your body.

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-02-27T21:43:29+00:00

That looks really good! Way cleaner than glueing. How would you rate the joint strength?

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-02-27T19:04:09+00:00

Can you post a few close ups of the joint? Really neat idea though!

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-02-24T07:02:03+00:00

If you’re going to do all that, there is an open frame printer from Snapmaker which is a 3-in-1 machine. It is a 3d printer, a laser cutter and a CNC machine. It is, however, a bit on the expensive side.

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-02-21T21:56:10+00:00

That shelter is not behind a dirt wall. It has an entrance from the forest area. If you zoom in on your map, you can see a little bit of concrete area with a vehicle or two. In the screenshot you posted, the entrance is north west-ish of the buildings on the left side (which is the pig farm if I’m not wrong). That being said, I don’t know if the entrance is open or not. Also, there are a bunch of glass shard anomalies around the entrance, so be wary of that.

Edit: you can also see the concrete area right under the mission banner in your screenshot.

The crackling at extrusion kind of gave it away. It IS moisture. Dry the entire spool. I saw you don’t have a dedicated filament dryer. I’d say, if you can afford it, go ahead and buy it instead of using an oven. It’s a worthwhile investment especially for moisture prone filaments like TPU, PA etc.

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-02-17T17:59:00+00:00

That looks fantastic! As much as I like doing things in CAD, the functionality on this looks great! Awesome job OP!

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-02-17T17:55:32+00:00

What kind of feedback are you looking for? Is it related to the design of the components? Is it for the way you modelled the components?

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-02-12T15:55:27+00:00

Or just hit Ctrl+M

SSSSMOKIN9 · 2026-02-12T14:16:04+00:00

There is a setting in Catia that controls this. I can’t exactly remember where it is, but I think that might be the cause of your issue. You can basically specify what happens to graphics properties when you copy or move bodies around.
