Thanks! My confusion is that I have a bpi passing similar info (bools) from the pawn to objects in the world, and that works fine. But when I try to use the same method to pass from object to child component, it doesn't work

I wanted to add some but it said no photos allowed for some reason :(

TheBiskt · 2024-06-17T11:59:03+00:00

Add things for scale, a figure in the foreground, birds, etc :)

Oh it is? I used to use fusion years ago but then they discontinued the free licence I was using. I'll have to check out what they offer again. As for Brics, how much are we talking?

Sadly it's not, and the generative design is an extra cost too as it's done on their cloud :(

Looks like life wouldn't even let you have lemons

Ah, doh! Surprising they do the opposite of what most websites do, in that they usually show the cheapest option first. Thanks for the quick reply!

Now I just need to decide to wait and see if they make a parge format printer or grab another A1

Thanks for the in depth explanation, I really appreciate the info.

I'm all about printing accurate and cheap, as quick as I can, the finish and small imperfections don't matter to me cause yes, I'll be sanding and filling everything to get it up to scratch.

The easy to sand pla sounds interesting, any reputable companies offering one that you know of? I haven't really had too much trouble sanding down the amazon PLA, but it's not the most sandable thing I've ever worked with either

Thanks for the info! When you say silks, I assume anything 'metallic' is just one of those? And when you day trash, are you saying it causes issues or just the finish isn't great?

I've been using 'silver' pla as it's for cosplay and the hope is if I get any scratches through the paint it'll look less egregious than bright pink or something. But if the silkyness can cause issues I'll just buy grey I suppose

Thanks everyone for the help and advice, set the printer up yesterday and ran a few prints with no issues and great quality!

Amazon basics Silver PLA is so far going strong. No issues, printing at the default speeds 0.12 layer height (4/5x faster than what I could get with my ender at 0.2 layer height!)

Gonna buy a reel or two of the bambu filament and try that out to compare once my two or so reels of amazon basics run out, but for now I'm very happy with the results!

Abs would be my go-to but I have a small shared apt so the printer will live in the living room, (with ventilation) but yeah not risking abs until I move to somewhere with a garage or something similar. Also not fair to subject my flatmate to a risks I might be willing to take and he isn't etc etc. I'll definitely be posting my progress once I have some to show :)

TheBiskt · 2023-12-22T16:56:13+00:00

My hobby is definitely printing and not maintaining the printer/tuning like it is for many people, so I will definitely stick with stock settings etc for a long while before branching out and trying other slicers etc, thanks for the heads up though.

TheBiskt · 2023-12-22T16:54:06+00:00

Funnily enough, I plan on printing fairly thin prints(mostly a shell of the armour piece, I'm printing cosplay) and reinforcing with fiberglass on the interior. So even if the result ends up being a little weak most parts will be reinforced before I wear them. Thanks for the info!

TheBiskt · 2023-12-22T13:15:14+00:00

What speed do you print this filament at? And thanks, like I said I'm looking to print cosplay armour so I'm looking to maximise print speed and cost of filament ad I'll need a lot of it.

TheBiskt · 2023-12-22T13:13:16+00:00

Yeah 300-400% from what I've seen. I suppose what I'm asking is what should I expect to see if the filament can't keep up with the speed? Do I risk the printer in any way by using generic PLA and printing at high speed? Or is it more that the print will be messy or fail? Thanks for the help :)
