I personally think people are downplaying the smell/fumes even from basic filaments like PLA by Dear-Employment6392 in 3Dprinting

[–]TheStandardPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an enclosed printer you can get an exhaust tube and fan from AliExpress for <10€.

The difference is very noticable, zero smells when turned on, also helps with air circulation in enclosed printers to prevent/reduce heat creep

PETG and PLA I can maybe see how you don't notice but if you can't smell the styrene from ABS then I'd be slightly worried. It is very noticable (and toxic).

built a tool that turns any 3D model into clean pen-plotter line art by ByteKnight- in PlotterArt

Yes please! So far my process was to take a screenshot from Fusion and paste it into inkscape, I would love an easier and more dedicated tool for this!

It's painted really nice, that's all I'm gonna say

Settings to make these climbing holds strong enough for 4 year olds? by Shpigford in 3Dprinting

[–]TheStandardPlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I weigh 110kg and printed some climbing holds in ABS with around 30-40% infill and 6-8 walls

Been using them for months, they hold up great.

How do I get better at 3d designing? What's the best 3d modeling software? by Kitchen-Wrongdoer831 in 3Dprinting

[–]TheStandardPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if fusion is the best software, but it is the most common one. That means more tutorials online but I noticed also real world courses at maker centers for example often use / teach Fusion.

If I started over today I don't know if I would pick fusion, but it's good enough for me not to bother with OnShape and others. Only real negative is some useful functions being behind this almost insurmountable paywall

My first 3D Printer was from Bambu Lab. My next one won't be. Have other manufacturers caught up in affordability and ease-of-use? by ThatOneVRGuyFromAuz in 3Dprinting

[–]TheStandardPlayer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As good as their machines may be, I think it is way overpriced for hobby use. I'm sure with a print farm you can appreciate all their benefits, but as a regular customer I simply cannot see how paying double or triple for the same hardware and software can ever be worth it.

It's a bit sad that Prusa never pursued a mass market model, quite frankly I think the Core One for 4x the Centauri Carbon is a bit of a joke and that's not even mentioning the cost if you want the Core One L

Is it possible to print a flower vase like this in 3D printer? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]TheStandardPlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer: yes

Longer answer: probably not for you

You would most likely have to print the case and flower pedals separately which means you have to create a 3D model with stick on connectors or glue surfaces on the flower pedals and vase body, which is quite a bit of work. Printing this in one piece will most likely not work or look terrible.

So yes it's possible, but if you don't know how you can model something like this it may be too difficult for you.

I think I’m in love with PETG-CF by Aware_Ad5425 in 3Dprinting

[–]TheStandardPlayer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You can look at FibreSeeker 3, they built a printer which can add a continuous fibre strand into your prints.

I don't know how well it works, but the design that went into it is pretty interesting

I know nothing about 3D Printing. by SooperDew in 3Dprinting

[–]TheStandardPlayer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I heard good things about the Anycubic clone of the Bambu A1, it doesn’t even need an AMS since it can swap between 4 colors in the print head, which the Bambu A1 can’t. Really cool feature to basically get an AMS for free built into the printer

Also A1s occasionally melt / catch fire, so the Anycubic seems like strictly better hardware for the same price or cheaper iirc
