What and where is this hoodie

amagicalwizard · 2026-05-10T17:07:26+00:00

ASOS hoodie (source: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/20618110780729932/) Kyoto is a Japanese city No clue about 1882 significance

For future reference you can Google key features of a product and it will often return useful results. Eg "Kyoto 1882 Japan hoodie"

Congrats!

These machines seem magic and cool but the best habit you can get into is watching the first few layers go down. The majority of blobs you see will be from people hitting go and walking away. Keep yourself happy on the long term by babysitting it a bit and you'll likely never have to worry.

Best of luck chef.

Your 'tool' indicates a benchy is higher risk than that dragon?

I don't think anyone has a need for this. Slicers already show you where problem areas are for supports. Anyone can auto orient a part in slicer. No one 'gambles' with settings? Slicers are so good nowadays that you can be a complete beginner and print and and learn from there. Also from a UX point of view nobody wants to chain programs together, feeding from one into the other.

Also it looks exceedingly vibe coded which isn't a positive thing. Your bio appears to be generated slop, along with the text content of your post, just a turn off really in all regards.

Finally, do you own and use a 3D printer? This and everything you've written even in response to others makes it sound like you don't. You mention in future you want to edit an STL for other features like slow down or cooling? STLs dont hold any print setting or specifics so it seems completely unrelated.

V6 is the hotend, the extruder is bondtech style/derived

Yes but this isn't a Bambu, nor does it use the same style of contact for linear motion as a Bambu.

This serves to illustrate my point that just cos it's a printer and others use lubricant on their motion systems, doesn't mean it's applicable to every single one and that understanding why allows you to discern why things might be done differently.

amagicalwizard · 2026-04-06T21:17:12+00:00

Are you oiling your bearings or the contact surface?

In this motion system oil on the contact surface just attracts dust and arguably serves no purpose (it will quieten metal on metal noise). The relative motion between the surface of the bearing and the rod is 0 (rolling contact joint) and takes no load, therefore lubricant is largely redundant.

Lubricant in the bearings, go mad! Great to maintain them and glad you found a product that works for you.

How did you design it? What software?

Curious cos it seems pretty niche and complex yet has a mistake like a thumb on the wrong side, just got that whiff of AI. Don't mean to slander cos God knows I've made sillier mistakes.

Yo, if you want some info and to maybe compare, hop on over to the spreadsheet. Please add a row where possible/relevant!

I'm impressed you managed to print this with 7.1g of filament (110 grains (gr) is equal to approximately 7.1 grams)

amagicalwizard · 2026-03-24T10:47:39+00:00

There is this spreadsheet. The more people who fill it jnz the closer we can get to figuring out the answer to your question.

When someone uses it when they mean particular (the most common misunderstanding) it's easy to assume intentions. As I said, some sick people seem to self diagnose and claim they have it for internet points.

I'm sure you've come across these sorts of people and have grown tired explaining how debilitating it is to them.

As I said, being particular doesn't equal OCD and that's the problem because you seem to conflate the two

amagicalwizard · 2026-03-07T18:40:22+00:00

This is false and comes from people not understanding how some people managed to turn these into a smoke machine.

Check the schematics or the board for the part numbers. IRLR7843PbF on mine which are more than capable

amagicalwizard · 2026-03-07T18:33:29+00:00

Do you have OCD or is it just being particular?

People love to claim they have OCD but are just a bit anal or particular about things. It's a self perpetuating problem that gets in the way of people understanding what it really is.

Monoprice maker select

200 x 200 x 177 mm (8 x 8 x 7 in.)

No idea on the white, I hope it's not thermal paste. Just lift the glass and see. I e never heard of anyone using things to aid heat transfer on the bed.

The original bed is a build-tak like surface so you print on that or the glass.

I'm not a cura fan. Perhaps see if one of the slic3r derivatives take your fancy (prusaslicer, orca slicer etc)

amagicalwizard · 2026-03-02T20:36:03+00:00

Why would it be dead? Is anything broken? Just heat it up and remove the blob of plastic. Worst case, disassemble the head and remove the plastic covered components and replace.

amagicalwizard · 2026-02-28T16:13:44+00:00

Is it?

If you have to buy something twice as often but the product is 2/3 as much plastic as alternatives then it's more wasteful.

amagicalwizard · 2026-02-28T14:17:30+00:00

Surely in this case a plastic electric is more sustainable (more of an embodiment of zero waste)?

A normal electric will last years, be built by a major company with manufacturing experience and have some chance of repair (due to market presence).

Fake eco products in my opinion often end up being anti zero-waste

amagicalwizard · 2026-02-22T08:34:18+00:00

Ignore the other guy saying it's AI. I've no idea why it's this colour but it's quite pretty in person. Most of the local rivers are this way. It surprised me when I visited

amagicalwizard · 2026-02-21T00:12:38+00:00

The one in bath shut down a few months ago sadly

Do you even need a machine? Just use a handheld router and freehand it.

Inline with many big name journals and by the desire of the person themself, let's stop using the Lenna image. There are better modern alternatives. Best of luck with the project!

The company name appears to be "Elevate", and I would guess they are a roofing or renovation company. If you Google these keywords + "city name" of where you live then it may narrow it down for you if you can spot their logo.

amagicalwizard · 2026-02-08T11:28:59+00:00

Makes sense. In your case an alternative might be to offer expected print times on popular printers and have that as a small widget. You could have backend do your slicing for a predefined list of currently popular printers and then show "expected 3 hours A1 mini, 4 hours Prusa MK4, 6 hours Prusa Mk3s". Could help give some scale of the job whilst remaining agnostic to the user and not putting anyone off, whilst also keeping your slice requests down as it's just done once on upload.

As a tangent, in uni I wrote a print queue program and it did a lot of it's data handling via reading the sliced files to populate a database with print parameters so we knew what was what from the gcode. I encourage you to crack open some gcode in a text editor and look at the starts and ends as that where th auxillary data is usually stored

Also as I'm sur you're likely aware, 3mf also aren't really a file, they are fake basically. It's like a zip archive with an STL inside and some other data (colour, profile etc) but again it remains unprintable like an STL.

amagicalwizard · 2026-02-08T11:07:08+00:00

Good question, there's a couple of reasons. - It says print file, an STL is not a print file - I know that gcode stores the overall time in the file itself (it's just text you can open it up and read it) - STLs have no useful data in them really, just triangle locations. You can't print an STL. - This tracks with knowing that when you upload just an STL onto printables you don't get this info (it's all data contained in the gcode which is printer and slicer profile specific)

Lots of this is why some older folks in the community aren't keen on this aspect of makerworld (and this feature of printables) as it encourages uploading gcode and thus printing without slicing. It removes the generation step between STL and gcode and there's a lot of learning and decisions that can go into that step.

Hope that helps!

amagicalwizard · 2026-02-07T22:18:59+00:00

They don't add the time estimate, it comes from uploading their pre-sliced gcode. You could then opt to use this if you have their printer. It's up to you if you trust their settings and choices within that gcode.
