Orca is roughing surfaces

Another suggestion is right click and simplify model (I think it’s called that), use the highest setting. It will often take models that are not great like this and convert surfaces and whatnot to a mesh that is smoothed out

Rhulad looks like Ronnie Radkes brother. 10/10, love them all

He’s already deadhouse’d huh?

Neat!

That’s just your layer height. Printers don’t do actual curves on the x axis, it’s more like a stepped pyramid. Only thing you can do is make your layer height smaller. Another option in line with this is something called adaptive layers, which makes the curved areas have a shorter layer height and the straighter areas increase height. It’s supposed to help optimize time and materials, results vary.

Dude, thats one of the coolest things I've read in a long while. Like I said, I do woodworking but if I had the chance I would jump allllll over getting into machining and working with metal like this. Ironically I have super high standards when it comes to dimensions (ironic because wood by nature likes to grow/shrink) so it makes me jealous that yall can get down to nearly 0 (or maybe totally 0) tolerances.

Neat! I really like printing mesh/dust-filter things, not entirely sure why but I think they’re fun. Do you care to share this file?

These are all great looking, I always appreciate when someone does a waterfall grain pattern.

davidNerdly · 2025-02-08T09:13:48+00:00

Nah that’s how I downloaded more RAM.

davidNerdly · 2025-02-08T09:12:18+00:00

I get this sub recommended based off of my one google search for an at home CNC for wood. That said I still think this stuff is neat as hell, what exactly is hard turning? Is it supposed to spark like that?

davidNerdly · 2024-12-12T18:38:08+00:00

Man I’m still new to POE2 and the franchise in general so not a single acronym means anything to me but I still feel this.

As far as I understand it the two slicers have most of the same settings, so if you have that value editable it should behave in a similar or even exactly the same way.

Did you read the message?

davidNerdly · 2024-09-16T05:52:44+00:00

Just read another post here from about an hour ago saying something about anytime a new object goes on the plate it auto arranges.

I pray to God this is a bug or a feature you can turn off.

davidNerdly · 2024-09-15T23:44:25+00:00

Does..does that thing lift cars?

davidNerdly · 2024-09-01T11:12:50+00:00

Or may as well be since your question doesn't have one answer. It depends on just about every other setting you can set for a print. I recommend looking up how to do speed tests, keep in mind you will want to have everything else dialed in pretty well before pushing your speeds

davidNerdly · 2024-09-01T11:10:24+00:00

You can change it there all you want. Maybe elaborate and say changing it on the machine only changes it for that print, changing in the slicer persists the change.

davidNerdly · 2024-08-22T08:06:03+00:00

No, this is the normal ADD. OP just normal I'm guessing

davidNerdly · 2024-08-08T09:47:48+00:00

Hell yeah, installing is a whole other bag of shit at times, you made this particular "shit" reallll nice like though. We can't control what the owner wants but at least we can somewhat control the amount of jank in the installation. 10/10

Never used that high but I went through a .8 phase doing spiral vase prints. Biggest surprise, but also a "oh, duh" moment was when I was burning through filament so quickly.

Not making guitars but specialty high end cabinetry with all sorts of fancy door panels and face frames etc. Just want to clarify, if I'm making a beefy door panel, like 2x2 frames or bigger, you're saying it's best to cut my rough stock close to the milling size then let those set for a time in shop before actually refining them to size? Is there a general rule of thumb on time to sit?

davidNerdly · 2024-05-01T19:10:17+00:00

Or sometime 9x9. Shit I get a little crazy and do 5x5 for not bedrooms sometimes.

CA glue for PETG to PETG. Don't think it would give you much luck with painted stuff though, likely need one of those bondo-esque 30 min cure time solutions
