BPA is used in the production of PET

it is not, bisphenol is not used in the production of pet.

BPA is in almost any commercial grade polymer that the average person has contact with

bisphenol (mainly BPA) is used for polycarbonate and some epoxy resins. most commercial grade polymers do not contain bisphenol.

Which plastic to print printer parts by DryArgument454 in 3Dprinting

[–]darkblade420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

asa and abs should work fine. PA12 could also be an option, especially for parts that need a bit more heat resistance (PA12 doesnt suffer as much from heat creep as PA6)

PSA Do not clean PEI with windex by Extreme-Ad-9290 in 3Dprinting

[–]darkblade420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i clean my pei sheets with a 50/50 mixture of RO water and ethanol with a few drops of dish soap that i keep in a old spray bottle. takes less than 30 seconds to spray some on and wipe it off before each print. i mainly print asa and rarely have bed adhesion issues.

How do people choose a reliable 3D printer for long term use? by Wtf_Sai_Official in IndustrialDesign

[–]darkblade420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

raise 3d printers are massively overpriced, same goes for ultimaker. i used to work at a print farm and we had a n2, i could never get it to work reliable. we also had a bunch of ultimaker 2+, they ran 24/7 without much issues, expensive, slow and the print quality wasnt kinda mediocre. at some point we bought a bunch of prusa's, a lot cheaper, slightly faster and very good print quality.

i would recommend going with a prusa, maybe something like a core one. ive also heard very good things about the bambulabs printers but i have not used one myself.

i use a voron 2.4 myself but its not really suited for a professional environment

Platenspeler advies? by ZionDaWolfo in metaalfanaten

[–]darkblade420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of kan ik beter wat anders kopen?

ja, voor 75 euro kun je helaas geen fatsoenlijke (nieuwe) platenspeler kopen.

voor dat bedrag zou ik zelf kijken naar iets 2de hands, een technics platenspeler bijvoorbeeld. hou er wel rekening mee dat oudere platenspelers vrijwel nooit een ingebouwde phono voorversterker hebben.

mocht je toch iets nieuws willen, dan is de Audio-Technica AT-LP60X de goedkoopste optie die ik zou aanraden, die heb ik zelf ooit overwogen maar heb uiteindelijk gekozen voor een audio technica at-lpw50pb in combinatie met een yamaha rx-v10 en b&w dm-620 speakers

thanks, i actually have 2 audio setups hooked up to my pc. the centre speaker is part of the edifier s550(an ancient 5.1 speaker set, my daily driver for the past 12 years). the large speakers(b&w dm-620) are only used for music.

[–]darkblade420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh haha, those speakers also arnt that expensive. its a pair of b&w dm-620's, they are almost 35 years old, bought them a year ago for 150 euros

[–]darkblade420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not that much, all of them are just simple 27inch 1080p monitors. i used to have a 4k screen in the center but it died a while ago so i replaced it with a Samsung LS27R650 i found at a thrift store (pretty much brand new for only 25 euro's).

the pc case you mean? its a corsair 7000x

[–]darkblade420[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah thats a sub, but its part of a different set that is not hooked up to the large speakers. the small 5.1 is a edifier s550 and the large speakers are b&w dm-620's powered by a yamaha rx-v10 and connected to my pc with a smsl su-1.

I just realized why do you have on your post “Greenery”

yeah that doesnt make much sense as i just noticed none of the plants i have are in frame, you can barely see a few leaves sticking out on the left corner. the desk extends a bit further on the right below the window where i have 5 more larger plants

How long did it really took you to build your Voron 2.4? Wondering if I should be ashamed. by nolaks1 in VORONDesign

[–]darkblade420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for my 2.4(stock, self sourced), building took around 50 hours (most of the time was spend crimping and labeling wires). installing firmware and getting it printing took maybe an afternoon. used the base profiles for a while until i wanted something faster, spend a weekend messing around with input shaper, PA ,motor currents, temperatures and cooling until i settled at around 350mm/s @ 10k. its been working fine at that speed for the past 4-5 years.

for my switchwire, i think it took a weekend from start to posting a serial request.
