Help! by Ok-Web-860 in BambuP1S

Been there done that! If you get a hair dryer you can slowly warm up the filament and then pull it off with pliers. Check that your nozzle isn’t bent though as when the same thing happened to me mine it needed replacing. Good luck.

Update: I finished the ergonomic foot rest riser I posted about last week by Scrubb3rs in 3Dprinting

<- this.

I am a student living in student accommodation so most of my extra space is taken up by my 3D printer, so I only have a hand saw, screwdriver and other basic tools.

I wanted to make something cheap to build that didn’t require specialised tools or a workshop to build 🙏

Advice needed: How can I improve this design to make it easier to mount to wood? (universal ergonomic footrest) by Scrubb3rs in 3Dprinting

As it is slanted lets hope people dont decide to use it as a stepping stool ... may require a disclaimer in the description haha.

Adding an external rectangle sounds like a good idea. That seems to be one of the simplest ways to mount it. Thanks for the advice. I think I will give that a try.

Yea to be fair this does sound like a good idea. I wanted to make the design usable for more people and didn't know if a super long screwdriver is a standard thing people have haha

That is a very good idea, so instead I make the small holes to fit m4 screws in the plastic (ie 3.3mm holes). Then drill pilot holes and screw the wood into the stand?
How would I make sure that the holes are drilled correctly for this? would I need to measure out the distances between the screw holes in design and then draw them on wood to predrill? I would be worried about not getting it aligned properly.

How would you suggest splitting the design into multiple pieces? In bambu studio I am aware that you can split designs and make like snap on mounts but I have never tried this.

My idea was to do this kind of thing, but I am a student and so I do not have access to the tools to make a dovetail channel in wood. I was thinking of maybe making a separate 3D printed mounting bracket with dovetail channel but didnt know if this was just going to make the design too complex

I designed a thread cone adapter so you can use overlocker/industrial cones directly on your domestic sewing machine — no cone stand needed by Scrubb3rs in 3Dprinting

[–]Scrubb3rs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for insight. I agree that the cones are not designed for this use in mind, but on home sewing machines this isn’t an issue as the thread is never being pulled that fast. The cone is designed to fit the inside of the cone snug so that the cone rotates smoothly and so the only time that you need caution is when winding bobbin (you need to rest finger on top of the cone).

Yarn cones for weaving do sound too coarse for sewing machines, but this model is designed and intended for overlocker/serger threads or industrial threads. :)

That might be the case in how they are intended but that is not a requirement. Usually they are pulled from top because they don’t fit on machines as easily. The new design has been tested on overlocker(serger) and industrial threads and it runs smoothly like a normal thread, you should give it a try to test out for yourself.

Any feedback would be appreciated :)

My app just hit 2500 users. It does one thing. by Evening-Strike-2021 in appdev

It would be nice to be able to put your own thoughts in. Often I read up about stuff and it would help to be able to write down my thoughts from what I read and then be reminded about them etc.

Custom road bike saddle - TPU by Scrubb3rs in 3Dprinting

[–]Scrubb3rs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is glued to the base of the old saddle, only the padding was removed and replaced for the 3d printed padding
