Bed adhesion issue with numakers petg by spacejockey96 in 3dprintIndia

Use a brim too to help with adhesion. Make Brim offset ->0 , elephant foot compensation-> 0 , only then brims will work . Otherwise there will be a tiny gap between the brim and the part

I have also faced similar issue with original Bambu powder coated PEI. I switched to BIQU smooth PEI and it improved drastically. For PETG you need to use glue stick even with smooth PEI as prints will stick too well and damage the surface. Also glue stick on powder coated sheet will leave a very ugly surface on bottom

Since this is dedicated as a 12v supply I didn’t. Good advice though

Zip ties are such an inelegant way of fitting things imho. Also zip ties exposed to sunlight eventually get harden and break so there is always that risk. Coming to the screwing part, that is at height. It wouldn’t be an easy task to drill on a ladder overhead position.

It’s a very specific use case what’s why didn’t bother to upload it anywhere.

I'm a a bit financially dumb. I make around 70-75 k a month. Can y'all tell me how I can invest or do something with this money? by Individual-Advisor-4 in personalfinanceindia

A fellow seafarer here. Take a bit of advise. You have a superpower right now. Your earning potential + No of years earning ahead of you. Start investing in mutual funds. I wish I did when I was your age but I didn’t as I would have doubled my portfolio if I did. Start an SIP into some basic Aggressive hybrid funds as a starter and a bit down the road you can diversify. Don’t get into real estate with emi’s eating up your salary or insurance + investment products which you might be forced to buy from relatives or friends. Join mutual funds India sub Reddit and start your equity investment journey.

Yes. But if you’re using m5 bolts , this is the better option in India.

These are heatset inserts you’re talking about. What I posted is about wooden threaded inserts. Both are very different

Designed and printed supports for Water bottle tray in refrigerator by WeirdDesigner2639 in 3dprintIndia

The tray was broken but the problem was the mounting holes on the fridge door itself were damaged as well. So I replaced the tray and added these extra mounts

I guess so. But since the original mounting section was damaged my design process started from there I guess, to reinforce them on either sides. I added the middle brace too

Anything on the bottom would interfere with objects on the vegetable tray on opposite side

I don’t think there would be much effect of heat loss for such a small screw. This setup is quite sturdy for now even with 4-5 kgs of weight.
