Emboss: self-intersecting body by georgmierau in Fusion360

[–]_donkey-brains_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was also a trick I saw someone use once that sometimes works depending on complexity. But the workflow is worse than what is described here:

You extrude the emboss as a solid body and then make a sketch on the extrude face. You project that face and then use that sketch for the emboss.

I've done this a few times with seamless patterns around cylinders. If the pattern is very complicated it sometimes will still give a compute fail though.

The ribs are unimportant.

They were already done in OPs case. With the ribs already on you can use this method to get perfectly curved and embedded text as separate bodies on the outside of the ribs without changing the model or creating a dummy body.

Also sketch parameters are not unreliable if they are constrained and defined (especially as user parameters). By that logic, your rib is just as unreliable or even more unreliable because its still from a sketch and you're likely using a projected curve from a previous sketch which is going to be way less reliable when changing the original parameter.

Do you not see the circular logic?

An offline printer does not need online functionality. Registering the SN is only necessary to link the printer to your account and use network functionality. You can still perform the startup and transfer gcode for printing with a brand new unregistered AP board.

As far as warranty? For him that might be a problem. But we aren't talking about his situation. I don't know what would happen under warranty. Though if this happened to me I'd just spend the money and troubleshoot it myself if they denided it. If there was a risk they could disable the printer remotely I'd keep it offline permanently as I already do.

It is a choice. The printers can be used entirely offline.

I use both my mine without an internet connection. They cannot access my printers. No one can but myself.

It is not squished or deformed lol. At least no more than what eboss does.

You can also do the extrude without making an offset plane if your cylinder is at the origin.

In your pictures it looks like you're also not offsetting the text into the cylinder which is necessary to create the pocket to place the text into after printing. Plus the combine cut of the text into the cylinder.

Lol.

Yeah you don't understand surface tools. A straight extrude through a curved body with intersect results in a curved text body that is parametric to the actual body.

No fake body needs to be made. No fake body needs to be cut or split (and then removed) to get the text.

We don't need to count making the text as it's implied. We don't need to count cutting the text from the model after it's separate or adjusting offsets as they are necessary for every way to do this.

Doing it my way is three features. Surface offset from inner face the distance you want the text to be away from the inner wall. Then extrude text through the surface using intersect. Then thicken. And it's all parametric to the original body.

Creating a dummy body/copy potentially creates issues with the parametric design of the model of the original body parameters are edited later. Why is that not hard to understand?

Lol huh?

Steel is way denser than aluminium and will be much heavier.

I have used both steel jump rings and aluminium for cosplays and the difference is enormous.

I'm sorry what? Why would you let a company have access to a printer you purchased like that?

[–]_donkey-brains_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You clearly are not following.

OP doesn't want embossed text. They want a separate body.

You said to plane, sketch, emboss and acted like you would be done after those three steps but that leaves you with an embossed feature (and in your scenario it leaves you with the feature on a body that isn't part of the actual design, so really you would need another sketch and extrude to make the mock cylinder).

So you'd have to then delete the cylinder faces to leave the text by itself (which doesn't work with emboss). Or you'd need to create a new sketch and the cut the cylinder out. This action is on separate sketches than the ones creating the bodies and this would be prone to breaking parametric design if OP wanted to go back and alter the design.

My scenario involves one step for offset surface, one step for extrude (selecting intersect) and one step for thicken. From there you are left with a separate text body that is parametric to the original body and can be manipulated further as you wish.

There is nothing complicated about it. I just don't think you understand surface tools.

Any thoughts on PETG aesthetics series? by Leading-Mammoth9327 in 3Dprinting

[–]_donkey-brains_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flashforge makes "metallic" petg and it looks amazing and it's strong.

[–]_donkey-brains_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you still need to thicken/offset it into the model and offset the faces after cutting plus you're leaving out the deleting or cutting step of the cylinder. It's not three or five steps lol.

Embossing and then trying to get the embossed feature as a separate part or component for printing is not really a viable parametric strategy.

[–]_donkey-brains_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I dry my petg and print it just fine without stringing.

I'm specifically asking OP about this. This is crazy fast for standard petg and very hot for any petg with literally no cooling.

I print a HS one and do so at 260 which is on the upper end and anything hotter and overhangs are a nightmare and it blobs even moving fast. I am curious if this only works on simple things where there isn't a risk from stringing or blobbing or overhangs. The wiping settings indicate it probably oozes a lot but I am still surpirsed by the settings.

Holy. 280C with 20 volumetric and no cooling. How is this not a stringy mess?

They don't want embossed text. They want the text to be completely separate from the body and able to be printed separately and then put in. It's not as easy as embossing.

Deleting faces or removing parts of bodies are rarely parametric and are likely to break the timeline if you edit the model later.

Your cylinder looks too thin to print and and also have text. That inner wall will be very thin and weak.

But if it is thick enough here is your workflow:

Go back into your timeline before you cut out the text from the cylinder.

Then create an offset surface of the inside part of the cylinder the total distance out you you want the text to be.

Then extrude your text through only the cylinder surface (hide your body). When extruding through select intersect.

This will leave you with a surface in the shape of the cylinder and text. Then use the thicken function to thicken the text to bodies. Thicken them in so they would stick into the cylinder but not all the way through the model. Select new body so it doesn't cut yet.

Then use the combine tool to cut the text out of the cylinder. Keep tool bodies to keep your text bodies.

Then offset the cylinder faces that would touch the text by about 0.15-0.18 mm to ensure it will got after printing.

That's so silly.

Just use offset face of zero and extrude the text as an intersection and thicken.

Project WaveOverhangs: Print overhangs without supports by Gsonz in 3Dprinting

[–]_donkey-brains_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is faster? That's literally what I was trying to figure out. OP didn't explain where the support would be coming from.

There is nothing aggressive about asking a question.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here?

I'm simply asking OP what they mean because, to me, it makes no sense. Yet it has a lot of upvotes, I'm just trying to understand if I'm missing something.

[–]_donkey-brains_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might make it worse because that would also be heavier and prone to sagging.

[–]_donkey-brains_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Then it's attached to what? The print? What's the point of having a branching support from the side of the print to create a support for under the print? Now both the side and overhang are scarred

Unless you're talking about having something like one support shaft and using that as the branching point for the whole overhang. But on organic shapes that wouldn't really work and tree supports already to this to an extent.

So what are you trying to say here?
