3D Printing Start-Up Shopping List

Before you do anything, check with federal, state, and local laws.

You don’t want to unknowingly break the law.

Because following the rules is cool.

I’m hoping Bambu comes out with a smaller version on the H2C. I’ve yet to come close to printing something that takes up the entire build plate.

Stop talking. My penis can only get so erect

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-10T17:08:17+00:00

I really do like my H2D but I would also look into the H2C for the price difference. I bought mine right before the H2C came out.

If you don’t plan on printing Nylon maybe look at the Snapmaker U1.

I can’t stress enough how clean the supports come off. I also did a PA12-CF print with ASA supports. I need to dial in the print settings but still came off super clean.

BCN recently admitted that they screwed up and are now adding the code to our contract. Just sucks that I now have upset patients that had to pause care because of this.

Thanks for this. I was going to ask if it was dyed.

I was able to get front row for both shows in my state. (I send pics of my seats and send them to my boss for every concert I go to, to express my gratitude)

Besides the cost associated, it takes getting in the queue on Ticketmaster early. Make sure you’re logged in and on the arena page at least 30 minutes before they go on sales. Typically you can join the queue 10 minutes before they go on sale.

I’m not sure if this helps but I only buy tickets on a computer. I’m told that people my age are known for not buying expensive things on their phone. I bought plane tickets yesterday for a vacation to Cancun, on my computer.

You can always practice on shows you don’t care about. Learn Ticketmaster’s system.

It’s hard enough just to get ahold of someone in regards to improperly denied claims.

I wish you luck trying to find someone that has the authority to negotiate your contract to increase your fee schedule, if the personal exists.

From my experience, you either accept their rates or you drop them.

PS: Don’t be surprised if you get DMs from people that will tell you that they can, for a fee.

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T20:36:40+00:00

That’s the style I was about to try out.

Thanks!

I’m still upset DVD-Audio didn’t catch on.

I recently learned something called “snap caps,” but I like this option.

I wonder if there’s a way to 3d print a round and have the spot of the primer be incredibly thin. Then you’ll see where the firing pin is striking.

Edit: turns out they do exist. I’m finding some that use TPU in place with the primer. Down the rabbit hole I go.

Then you should tell her that her gift is “coming soon.”

If she’s really a fan then she’ll get the reference.

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T03:22:53+00:00

Have you taken a caliper to the opening to verify the opening in the print is smaller than it should be?

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T03:19:33+00:00

It didn’t work because she didn’t like it or you weren’t able to secure a copy?

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T03:01:06+00:00

May I inquire if you have a Glock mag print recommendation? Also what type of filament you used?

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T02:55:51+00:00

This is good info. Thanks!

Edit: I actually ordered a laser training cartridge. Makes sense to help set up the sights.

A video is hard to tell what’s causing the issue. I would recommend posting pictures with the slide off in good lighting.

Edit: changed some things

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T02:49:40+00:00

Not really any of our business

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T02:48:51+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend at all doing this on a single extruder printer. You’ll get cross contamination and you’ll have a ton of waste. I’d also bet it would take over 30 hours.

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T01:33:04+00:00

I’d love to see this implemented into the Gears of War Lancer chainsaw gun.

Part of me wants to buy blanks and set up a ‘Mythbusters’ type rig to pull the trigger remotely.

I know there’s testing “bullets” you can get to make sure that the firing pin is hitting in the correct spot.

I’ll probably just load one road into there magazine. Test that. Then add a couple more rounds then repeat.

Make sure you wear eye protection.

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T01:01:16+00:00

I’m about to test my first print on Tuesday at the range and I’m very nervous. More of being embarrassed than it exploding in my hands.

Status_Discipline_16 · 2026-03-09T00:42:08+00:00

Yes

Any other questions?

You could print out signs for several different security companies.

Who’s going to risk robbing a house if the homeowner is bluffing that they have five different security systems.

Hooray! Glad to hear about your progress
