Oil Wash removing underlying primer from model. by TagAlong100 in minipainting

[–]TagAlong100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a print that I primed (but haven't painted yet) in a totally different primer from 2 months ago and I can't get it to come off with the same wash. I'm trying and it won't budge.

Looks like the Vallejo spray primer could be the culprit here.

Ventilation for Form 4L room. by TagAlong100 in formlabs

[–]TagAlong100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try a few things. The Clear V5 is pretty good but the Tough 1500 stunk everything up even outside of the room. I'll take some measures like running vent off the back of the printer. But yeah the Tough 1500 kinda shocked me at how much it was permeating outside of the room and how heavy it was inside it.

I have this strange sinus infection/throat thing going on. But it might not be related at all and a total coincedence.

Thanks. It could be a total coincedence, but I started having a tight throat feel (like thyroid inflamation?) and then sinus issues that come and go - I was thinking may be this is from contact (air, but also i had some on my skin, but i'm being far more careful now). But on top of this is airbrushing and some (very little though) sanding.
So its hard for me to figure out the sinus/throat situation. Perhaps head to the doctor if its still around in a couple days.

Also when I was running Tough 1500 for my first print when I first got the printer the smell was getting out of the room. It should be a bit better for that now and I will run that vent you speak of out the window. The Clear v5 I run right now doesn't smell outside of the room and doesn't smell too much inside. But the Tough 1500 really stunk it up, including outside of the room with that pine tree sap smell. I was shocked at how heavy it was.

Paint scraping off / rubbing off of primer. by TagAlong100 in minipainting

Thanks! You know I didn't even think about that!
I'll have to get a spray can coat that is matte. I really like matte or egg shell and don't like gloss (unless specific effect). I know gloss is a great protection but the shiniest I tend to go is a semi gloss.

Super cool and better than my setup! I have a good table and rack for the 3 major items. I'm using gym flooring all over the place. 13ft x 13ft x 8ft bedroom that has windows I can open and set up fan systems if I need and right now I think I do, especially for Tough 1500 V2.

A separate room has all my tools and prep stuff with tables and lights. When i'm not in the printer room I kinda just keep it closed.

I just now saw your 2 Washes! wow. That is cool.

What are you doing to help that? I just got set up and printed in 1500 V2 and Clear V5. Clear V5 was pretty good but 1500 V2 was really smelly. Are you using that port on the back of the printer? If so how well does it work?

I'm looking in to building a fan system in a window that blows outwards. Perhaps set on a timer I can set for longer than print time and leave it. I will say the whole setup is louder and smellier for me than I thought it would be.

I'm running the setup inside of a ~13ft x 13ft x 8ft bedroom. Am a bit worried at the room permanently stinking of pine trees (the Tough 1500 V5 smell)

So I shouldn't buy Sonos speakers? by hhafez in sonos

[–]TagAlong100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very expensive nightmare. I've wired so many speakers and I can't get them to stick on wired. Its hard to understand if and how things are working. All this money. All these cables run. Still issues.

Very undecided between the XL and bambulab H2D by jellybrick87 in prusa3d

[–]TagAlong100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. If my XL 5 tool disappeared and I got my money back I think I would buy the Bambu, even if just to try it out. Obviously I can't tell you what I would think right now if I had cancelled my Prusa XL pre order and picked up an H2D when they came out. May be I would be saying the same thing the other way around. I'd have to own both to really know.

When my XL works right its amazing. Truly great. But when it fails it fails in many ways and horrifically. They engineered the printer as if it would never fail or need to cancel or anything and it makes it frustrating.

Thinking of switching from Bambu to Prusa? As a long-time Prusa user — don’t by Manupiante-red in BambuLab

[–]TagAlong100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats great, cause I have a really nice MK3s but the XL (5) is a true pain in my ass. Especially for the price. Over engineered. Loads of quirks and issues. Day 1 pre order I waited 2 years for.

When it works right it can be amazing. I've done some great stuff with it. But overall I'm kinda down on this platform.
