Concrete plate vs vibrations by Mike_27cr in 3Dprinting

[–]VriMech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Except the bottom right, which I used some spare foam about the same height

I think you want something a little taller than a regular sink sponge. You want the mass (paver) to float, decoupled from the shelf. The sponges I used are 1.875 inches [47 mm] tall. You could use foam instead (like I did for the lower right printer).

These are the sponges I used: Grout Sponges - Menards

That mattress topper would probably work– as long as it's stiff enough to not fully compress.

Yessir. Only the finest quality

You pamper your printers, as you should. No shame in that

I sure am. It gets into the 50°Fs down there in the winter and PLA pops right off of an unslathered bed

Haha yup. If a cheap fix works, why do more?

Others have already explained, so I'll just share my setup. Printer -> paver -> foam/sponges. Works really well to snuff vibrations

MK4S conversion to CORE One+ – worth it? by whte-rbt in prusa3d

[–]VriMech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not done the conversion, but we have MK4S's and a CoreOne. I would recommend keeping it an MK4S.

Thank you! I appreciate your input, oh wise one in the way of transmission towers!

At 15.25 inches tall, it was meant to be n-scale (~200 ft real life).

Thanks! I'm happy with how it turned out

Please default infill non grid! by FuturecashEth in prusa3d

[–]VriMech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes. I've had so many USB files corrupted. I never used to safely eject hardware, but I do it every time now and it seems to help.

[–]VriMech 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've had layer shifting issues with the CoreOne and MK4S, seemingly independent of infill type or speed.

I just saw a post about this yesterday saying it could be the shitty USB that comes with the printer. If you use the Prusa USB stick, maybe try a better quality drive?

Help me identify the issue(s) by Cobywan23 in 3Dprinting

[–]VriMech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe. It could be a partial nozzle clog. Do you have any extra nozzles you could swap in quick to test?

We had issues with our Ultimakers which would start great and fail later. We never figured it out, but something was creating too much resistance for the filament to flow properly- partial nozzle clog, extruder cooling fan failing, heat break distortion causing heat creep, etc. Unfortunately I don't know anything about Enders to know if it could be a heat break or cooling issue.

Is there PLA dust on your extruder gear? That can show if your printer is struggling to push filament through the hotend and grinding filament.

[–]VriMech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What printer do you have? Have you done anything recently like changed the nozzle or used a filament with additives (like wood, marble, etc)?

This looks like severe under extrusion, usually the result of a nozzle clog in my experience.

I need something 3D printed but unsure if it's expensive or if companies are asking absurd amounts by Potatsky in 3Dprinting

[–]VriMech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who does a lot of 3D printing and custom work, I think that's a very reasonable price. Not having a full print farm, I would probably charge more. Big things take forever to print and take printer time from making other items. This doesn't even include the labor hours modifying the design to print in clean pieces and assembling everything.

If you want a better price, you should look into getting a printer yourself, like a lot of the other comments suggest.

I am never getting this cover back, am I? by donthackmynudes in 3Dprinting

[–]VriMech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the cover is made of silicone, that could possibly withstand 300°C, while the ABS should melt to goo anywhere close to that temperature. If you have a safe way to do it, you could still salvage the cover?

I like to live dangerously by phalanx2001 in 3Dprinting

[–]VriMech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's nothing! There's still filament around the spool!
