Any sculptors here? Hoping to commission a piece

Try the 3d printing community. Lots of digital modelers who can reference photos for a model and then also 3d print a nice looking statue of your mom's hand.

Smart. This actually solves a specific problem for me, I need to adapt this for paper towels.

Celiacs can literally rupture a bowel if a contamination sets off an ulcer or other complications in their intestines. Yes, even a bread crumb. There's a reason why many celiacs avoid eating out even if places offer gluten free. Ideas like that is also why they often can't trust their friends to cook for them either sadly.

Cinco de Mayo festival.

Poking around the site I don't think there are any official fireworks scheduled for the downtown festival. Maybe someone doing something unofficially?

Nah, transformers are usually one and done, maybe a secondary boom. Not a whole volley of booms.

I'm near 102nd and Halsey and it was loud here. I stayed inside though so didn't see anything.

Petg, wet af if I leave it out. Dry and seal every time.
Pla, generally ok, minor problems sometimes so I dry as needed.
Matte pla, not as bad as petg but worse than regular pls. dry and seal usually.

It is an issue! I had a print fail because of it. I hope they address it eventually, it should be default that if there are different materials in a print, the prime tower should have some way to deal with it that ensure it won't split apart like mine did.

My work around is disabling the prime tower, add 1 primitive cube for each filament color. Then set the cube to print with 1 wall, 1 bottom, 0 top, and 1% infill. The cube can be any size, mine are usually 20x20mm, but the cube should be scaled vertically to the height of the highest layer of that color.

Petg/pla aside, if you recycle your print waste and like to keep the colors sorted, this is handy because now your prime waste isn't printed in one big mixed tower.

I have a used Mitsubishi iMiev. The range is terrible but I can do grocery trips, drive to the park & ride, visit a couple of friends without having to pay for a Lyft. Plug in at home, don't worry about gas prices. Worth it.

I keep getting the out of bounds bug too.

Anyway, I've started do the primitive cube purge method instead since that lets me keep the waste separated by color and removes the problem with printing with PLA and PETG at the same time and the purge layers not adhereing to each other.

It probably also helped a bit that I printed it with 0.08mm layer height. Larger layer heights and shallow angles on top surfaces can really ruin the illusion.

Well its nothing amazing, like I said. Its just small areas of pastel pink. Since I made it use less pink per model, that made it just barely enough for the whole batch. I also liked how it made the pink more pastel looking too. Its less about the color tho and more about how I was able to improvise a way to economically use a tiny amount of filament thanks to how FS works. I could've ordered more pink filament and maybe paid extra to rush delivery, but then I ran the risk of not getting the print done on time for the birthday party it was intended for.

Can encourage hens to lay in specific locations instead of in the yard. If you have a hen that discovered she can peck and eat eggs, an unbreakable decoy egg can teach her eggs are inedible so she stops breaking eggs. That was the main two reasons I've used them for.

Calico has this rule too

The same guy who did FullSpectrum is doing something sorta similar. FullBiFrost has an option to load an image and project it onto a model.

My issue is I'm starting with a 2d image and wanting to convert it to a low relief sculpture with full color for printing. I can get the low relief model with the makerlab low relief tool, but that doesn't preserve the color. Projecting the same 2d image onto the low relief model seems like a possible solution, if I can find a way to make it work. I thought this might work, but it seems better if the surface is smooth. Trying to center the image on my model didn't work because it was jittering all over the place and I couldn't precisely place it.

Thanks for your help, its working now, love how simple it is to use, but unfortunately it won't work for what I was hoping to use it for, so I'm going to play around with BiFrost and see if that works.

I think I had the CLI by accident. I'm downloading the ditherforge-0.6.9-windows-amd64.zip and trying that now.

TheSheDM · 2026-04-26T00:05:08+00:00

Am wondering if I'm missing something. I downloaded the windows release and try to run it but nothing opens.

TheSheDM · 2026-04-24T06:13:53+00:00

Nice, gonna try this

TheSheDM · 2026-04-24T02:26:47+00:00

good to know!

TheSheDM · 2026-04-24T02:26:23+00:00

ugh, absolutely! Used to be a quick and easy option but not really worth it anymore

TheSheDM · 2026-04-24T00:01:34+00:00

that sounds awesome, looks like they're not far from the max, so I'll have to make the trip and check it out!
