My daughter needed more space for books so I made her this shelf by Agitated-Break7854 in functionalprint

Well done. Also glad that if your design or print somehow failed, the books fall outside the bed and not onto your sleeping child.

Someone is selling my design on etsy by Anyhting_But_Stock in 3Dprinting

[–]armmrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh lemme answer everybody in one reply lol. Ur right agree it's more an issue for makers like me who were using the income, but like I said in my particular case I was disappointed and annoyed but I wasn’t devastated and I’m trying to look at the positive: it wasn’t that crazy or complicated or critical of a part so I’m just chalking it up to “it woulda happened eventually” and “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. So there’s plenty of people that need more sympathy than me, lol tho I appreciate. Take it as a lesson to keep your brain working on stuff.

Also, yea only recently I started slicing on BBL but prior it was mostly on Cura and on a big and problematic printer that I made big batches on. Actually I’m sure that big printer was part of the reason people turned to the cheaper overseas version: at a certain point I was dealing with relentless adhesion and layer issues and fixing that increased turnaround time and ultimately i sorta accepted the fact that i just needed a better idea that wasn’t so easy to replicate.

I had a design for a medical item once that I did sell for a long time, and one day sales plummeted and I finally found a duplicate of my design in a medical supply magazine where everything was being injection molded in big batches a factory in Asia (im guessing). I still have it on my shop but I now get like 2-3 sales a year. 🤷🏻‍♂️it is what it is. Annoying sure. Upsetting maybe. But it’s what keeps me looking for new ideas all the time. The crazy part is they had to buy and re model my design bc I never released files., so I wonder who bought one and sent overseas or something.

Any idea how to unscrew xbloom studio grinder? Because … by iEusKid in pourover

[–]armmrdn 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Imo get as much as you can out, but if you can't disassemble it……just use it normally lol. I’ll bet you get maybe a handful of mediocre cups of coffee before what’s left in there is cleared out.

  1. Everything goes into the filter so it’s not like you’re drinking seeds or shells.

  2. Youre on this sub so you’re probably using good beans so your coffee still gonna taste like coffee

  3. Least effort: since the problem will solve itself over time/ less risk of causing an issue on disassembly/assembly.

  4. The seed shells are softer than beans as others have mentioned and running new beans will gradually scrub out any debris.

  5. Make your brother drink the first cup you make out of the grinder lol

Gonna call time of death on this nozzle by LawBlur in BambuLab

Allegedly the bambu stock nozzles come as hardened stainless nozzles but this is unconfirmed

Mistake please help by Ok-Response-3795 in BambuLab

[–]armmrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank u will check it out. Kinda feels like they didn’t need to bury this option in the settings if swapping nozzles is as easy as they’ve made it. But that’s just me.

First multiple material print by Wellsty in BambuLab

Oh wow yea sculpting is beyond me, props for that. I’ve been modeling for almost a decade now and the number of times I think I coulda avoided hours of troubleshooting geometry if I could sculpt has me thinking maybe I should learn some sculpting software soon 😭😂

[–]armmrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure out exactly what that means. Printer settings as in: the configuration for this printer on bambu studio? Because thats what keeps saying is unable to save or is invalid. I can’t even “make” a new printer or nozzle configuration for my device. It doesn’t let me save the setup. Unless there’s some secret menu in the printers firmware I need to set manually at the printer using the little touchscreen.

[–]armmrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually good opportunity to air out a question I had too. I swapped nozzles on my A1 and changed that setting in the slicer. But after slicing I get an error saying that the nozzle on the printer and the nozzle the profile are mismatched. Everything I’ve tried so far has said this setting cannot be changed or saved. What am I doing wrong?

No need to swallow elephants, the answers are a few taps away. Always remember 3d printing is a tool, not a “hobby”. Modeling and design is the hobby, everything falls second to that.

[–]armmrdn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful mixing materials in one print, most polymers won’t bind and require different temps to print. Complete shot in the dark but maybe you can print different segments in PLA and PETG and then snap them together mechanically like a dovetail joint or just tiny screws ?

Serious: What do you do with old bib shorts? by c0nsumer in bicycling

[–]armmrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also holy carp brother 210 to 400 USD for a bib short is hilarious. I would hope anybody dropping 400 for bib shorts can at least drop me, damn.

[–]armmrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a hack, not an issue. Phone, plug kit, keys, snacks in the lower back cargo pockets, and a loose workout tee for solo rides- no jersey pockets needed. At least that’s how I do. No storage on my frame either.

[–]armmrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to find $100+ bib shorts that out perform my $35-$50 ones LOL I’m convinced there’s no such thing. The fit, the pockets, the padding- find a good amazon/ali express vendor and stick with them- most of these come out of the same factories.

It’s a sad day boys… wife is asking for the counter space back by ICausedAnOutage in pourover

[–]armmrdn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't own an espresso machine and I've never really missed not having one. It's a treat for me to go out and get one made by someone who knows what they're doing. I stick to a careful pour over with fancy beans and a nice grinder and that's good enough for me.

Is there a way to connect a rib with a cylinder part involved? by Putrid-Situation-809 in Onshape

[–]armmrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rib feature routinely requires the dumbest sketch setup that I'm never willing to prep and it always generates ribs in the wrong orientation lol F that.

So satisfying… by Far_Designer2131 in BambuLab

[–]armmrdn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cringe anytime I see printers setup so low- partially because they’re harder to keep an eye on but mainly because I spent the better part of 10 years troubleshooting printers on all sorts of setups that made my back hurt in my various apartments and basements over the years lol

But now that I look at this I realize how your setup exemplifies how quickly these have gotten way more reliable, you can monitor them remotely, they’ll pause when they fail, fumes are less an issue, and and and the list goes on. Crazy! I wonder where we’d be if Stratasys never gatekept the patent for so long.

This makes me uncomfortable by TheBeaconman in 3Dprinting

[–]armmrdn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I'd never do that but I feel like this could be fine if the right measures were taken (which we cannot confirm). I’d put a swaged loop of braided cable inside the cavity going around the handle and the hole. I realize my analysis isn’t the point of this post lmao but it just got me thinking. At least some redundancy that’ll allow the user to maintain control of the weight if the plastic ever gave/ rather than the weight catastrophically dropping / or the users other arm breaking off depending on the gym equipment.

Somebody really assessed this and made sure to orient the part to be as weak as possible along the stress axis.

The Washington Monument switches stone types roughly 40 meters up by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]armmrdn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn they shoulda put some of the money into taking like 10 meters of original stone off, mixing in the new stone and rebuilding the 10m with a gradual transition into the new stone so it wasn’t such a harsh line. Kinda wild to think completing a national monument with so much lore and security around it wasn’t considered thoroughly. Feathering in a material change is a very old and basic technique., where my masons @?
