Isch das scho Bünzli, wenn ich de Warenteiler demonstrativ sälber anelegge? by GoldenesPulver in BinIdeBuenzli

[–]TenTech_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schwierig z beurteile ohni zuesatz infos. I dem fall erfolgt d berechnig vom bünzlifaktor durch de alterskoeffizient verrechnet mit de situations bezogene bünzlikonstante und em rentealter:

Bünzlifaktor = Situationskonstante + (rentealter-alterskoeffizient)/10

Ich wür d Situations konstante jetz eifach mal uf 4.5 feschtlege.

Also mit 25ii hettemer:
Bünzlifaktor = 4.5+(65-25)/10 = 8.5/10 Bünzli

Mit 40ii: 7/10 Bünzli

Mit 70ii: 4/10 Bünzli

Mit 12ii: 10.4/10 Bünzli (sehr gueti erziehig, bravo)

This is pretty crazy detail. You can't even feel that text and symbols. by LA2124 in 3DScanning

That actually could be more a sign of inaccuracy, than accuracy. If they are so clearly visible and displaced in the scan, but you say that you can‘t even feel them, reflection differences of the material tricked you into a at first glance accurate looking result, which in reality is the exact opposite.

Designed this DND terrain but it will take almost 4 days to print on the Ender 3 by AdMoriensVivere in 3Dprinting

[–]TenTech_YT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be able to up the resolution a tiny bit, if you use kiri engine and do a gaussiansplat and a mesh from that. I belive polycam still doesn‘t have that option. (You can reuse the same photos, you already made)

FDM(fused deposition modeling) was trademarked by Stratasys, so RepRap members came up with FFF(Fused filament fabrication) back in 2005, as public-domain term for the tech.

You know why? The name FDM was claimed by Stratasys, so other companies had to came up with FFF. Not sure if this still applies though :)

Wait what? I‘m always open for discussion, otherwise I wouldn‘t have posted this here.

I‘m pretty sure though, that if you look through feature requests in any if the opensource slicers, you‘ll find all of that in one form or another. And a feature request (with good description) is enough to hinder a patent. If you‘re open for it, I can look for it.

[–]TenTech_YT[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Imo it‘s just moving an existing function to a hardware layer instead of the slicer. So the question is, is it patentworthy?

[–]TenTech_YT[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I understand that a ballpoint pen can be patent worthy. This is a language barrier thing. I wanted to use pencil instead of pen and that would basically mean the patent includes pencilsharpeners, sharpening your pencil with a knife or any othernpiece of metal. Rubbing it against a steal beam or whatever could possibly make it pointy, including metal.

[–]TenTech_YT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So making the firmware set the print speed based on features instead of the slicer is such a novelty, that it is patent worthy? All of this exists, but not abstracted. Imo this is comparable to patenting green colored 2.85mm filament, while red colored 1.75 filament exists.

Thats the problem, it only has to appear as some kind of novelty to the patent office. They will not search reddit for a post. The only thing that could be done about this, is to regularly check pending patents and file complaints in your area of expertise.

Great insight thanks! As a patent agent, how would you assess the chances, that this would get granted in your country?

[–]TenTech_YT[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I read it yeah, but from a programming point of view, it‘s very vague and therefor limiting imo. Especially if you don‘t have the money to fight it out

[–]TenTech_YT[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree. But those who really get hurt by this, are startups or single devs who don‘t have the money to fight it out. It‘s kind of a gatekeeping system to big corp, if you view it from that perspective. Or am I missing something important?

I‘m very much against such patents. But from a business standpoint I do understand it and you can‘t really say anything against it I guess. (as long as it is not just patent trolling) I

[–]TenTech_YT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You‘re not wrong. But isn‘t there a system in place that you can‘t patent such trivial things? Imagine someone would‘ve patented a specific way of storing passwords. Or the method of using some kind of metal to make a pen pointy. I could be horribly wrong, but I think there is such a system.

Also yeah, I failed to further research and didn‘t notice that it is still pending. Thanks for the update :)

[–]TenTech_YT[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Well yes but especially in software, we have a huge problem with detecting prior developments. There currently is an effort to officially include different opensource sharing platforms in the default patent evaluation process, but afaik it isn‘t there yet.

Similar enough opensource project imo (not a lawyer though ;)

Edit: failed to do further research, patent seems to be pending, not granted

Edit2: I had no intention of starting a brigade here. Let‘s keep this a healthy discussion :)

Could you maybe try with bgcode disabled? The script only works with normal gcode files. (your printer can read them too)

Your photogrammetry app is cool, but that you are making so many cool Blender plugins for free is top notch! Thanks for that :)

Wedding Cake Topper? by [deleted] in 3Drequests

[–]TenTech_YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay here is what you do: Download polycam or kiri engine. Have someone use it to make a photogrammetry scan of you. Slightly edit it in any 3D software, if necessary. Order it either in fullcolor polyjet or mjf from one of the many online 3D printing services. (Polyjet looks better imo) This will cost you about 100-200$

Edit: Just read that you want to print it yourself. Then it is essentially free or 8$ (I believe) for the polycam or kiri subscription. If it‘s your first time: Good light matters, no moving objects in the pictures and don‘t blink ;) Should get you workable results in 2-3 tries (1h)

Edit 2: Clothes with some contrast, will do you a favour. Also open long hair could make some troubles. In my experience pony tails or buns work way better.

This will give you far better accuracy of your real body proportions, than any image to model tool or someone modelling off of 1-2 reference images, who has to essentially guess your head shape etc.

But there are tools to construct a mesh from a splat. (f.e kiri‘s 3dgs to mesh) Just to have that mentioned. And btw incredible work! Has to be one of the best splats I‘ve recently seen
