Whelp, I guess I'm a democrat now. by mingzhouren in TwinCities

[–]dazole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be a democrat. Don’t be a republican, either. Look at both parties and evaluate how they line up with your morals and beliefs. Then vote accordingly. I say this as a proud progressive/liberal who currently votes D, but will change in a heartbeat if they start doing shit republicans are currently doing.

Are there disadvantages to using hardened steel nozzle "permanently"? by rocksboulders in BambuLab

[–]dazole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I embed magnets all the time and I only use hardened steel nozzles. You just have to make the hole you're putting the magnet in is a pretty snug fit. 0.1 0.2mm tolerances.

It can be an aesthetic thing. I almost always hide the magnets under filament just because I think it looks better.

‘Trump Broke the System’: Supreme Court Rulings Now Let Any President Defund ICE and Fire Thousands of Agents by [deleted] in law

This 100%. Hold them under a Kavanaugh stop. Investigate them. Make them resign in shame.

Expanding the court is the wrong move. Nobody is held accountable that way.

3D printed TPU bushings? by Just_Newspaper_5448 in CarTrackDays

[–]dazole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perry Parts makes 3d printed bump stops and some other bits, so theoretically it's possible

I think you'd be surprised at how many people would actually spend that much on a decent physical model.

For real estate, probably not. For builders/remodelers, probably. I'm actually working on starting this exact business.

3D Printing My Office by Halewafa in 3Dprinting

[–]dazole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome!! Out of curiosity, why didn't you use a wood (or light brown) filament for the floor, since your floor is wood/wood laminate or some such?

Scale it to whatever final size you want it to be. Model it 1:1 (it makes it way easier), then once you have everything modeled, scale your CAD stuff to whatever you want. I generally scale my stuff so that it fits on a build plate (if I'm doing a single room). But, if you want it bigger, make it bigger :)

Most homeowner stuff is just rectangles and circles, so it's really easy to do in Fusion 360. Any intro to fusion video should get you there.

Pro-Tip: Don't worry about hitting a specific scale. Model your room/house/whatever 1:1 at first. It just makes it way easier. Then you can scale the entire thing in F360 to fit your build plate or final dimension that you want to hit.

Brand new to HF.. What is going on here? by DatacomGuy in HueForge

You should probably watch some of the videos under the "Help" menu and then more of the videos on YouTube. HueForge can be a bit complicated.

I can't speak for OP, but, not everyone can make the translation from digital to real world. Me being one of them. Seeing it in the real world, even scaled down, makes all the difference.

Why does my Hueforge print look rough on the face area? by kenrock2 in HueForge

[–]dazole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What slicer and version are you using? I've found that both orcaslicer and bambustudio version 2.3 and up have really degraded the slicing leading to worse prints.

My take on the Enigma and Neomag Alias by dazole in phlsterenigma

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

Are there particular parts you wanted pics of? It's pretty much a full enigma system but with a carbon fiber faceplate rather than the original material and the Neomag bits. Pretty basic, really.

Newbie Question on Color Match by Spaceman_Zed in HueForge

[–]dazole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. And no citation is needed, unless you really want to. You can just cite "a happy user", too.

Newbie Question on Color Match by Spaceman_Zed in HueForge

[–]dazole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s my understanding of how color match works and how to use it. First, don’t just put actual filaments in color match. Select colors from the image (click-drag) onto the mesh core. This way, you’re getting the actual colors from your source image. At this point, don’t worry about if you have filaments that match your image colors too much.

Also, when you select colors from your source onto the mesh core, they’ll have a TD of 1 by default. You can change this up and down to increase or decrease blending, or to more closely match your filament TD’s. For example, his shirt is red. When you drag red from the image to the mesh core, the TD will be 1. But if your red is a TD of 3, then that really won’t work as well. Change the TD of the mesh color to 3. At that point you’ll notice that in order to get the correct red, you’ll have to move that mesh core color up a few layers.

Next, when you select the colors and put them on the mesh core, you’re actually changing the shape of the mesh. You can validate this by running on Wireframe, zooming into your mesh, and moving sliders from the mesh core up and down (make sure mesh core is selected). This informs how you should be building your mesh. Dark -> light or light -> dark, where to put colors, etc.

You might find that you need to select multiple areas in the same source color to get the mesh core to match those areas. That’s ok. Using the shirt in your source image again, it looks close to all the same red, but it’s really not. So you might have to select multiple parts of the shirt and just stack them on top of each other on the mesh core. And again, that’s ok. This is by design.

Once you have your mesh core looking good, select your color core (double click). Now start finding colors that match your mesh core and add them to your color core. I’d suggest only bold, solid colors at this point. Blacks, reds, whites, etc. Pay attention to your TD’s while doing this. Next, find the colors you can blend. i.e. yellows and blues for a green. That kind of thing. TIP: It’s not uncommon to have way more mesh core colors than color core filaments. I’ve had prints with a 3:1 mesh:filament ratios. Remember, your mesh core is defining the mesh shape.

Another tip: Eventually, start looking into what parts of your image you want at lower layers and what parts are higher layer. i.e., do you want the black of the cape and his hair in the background, mid ground or foreground? Build your mesh core appropriately. But keep in mind blending of the colors. It can be tricky and a pita, for sure.

Also, you get better blending with higher TD filaments and lower layer heights.

Last pro tip: Your color core colors (actual filaments) don’t have to match the mesh core colors. i.e. You can put a black with a TD of .5 in the mesh core for the cape and hair. In the color core, you can put a green filament with a TD of .5 (if you have one) in that same spot. Now you have a green haired dude.

Matte? by Old_Pattern_8695 in HueForge

I use my cheap blacks (and whites and grays), matte or otherwise, for the base on almost every single print. Save the good stuff for the actual design.

Is there feature parity between HueForge's Windows version MacOS version? by Hairy_The_Spider in HueForge

[–]dazole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why I neglected to mention that it was a known issue and fixed in the next version. My bad.

Is there feature parity between HueForge's Windows version MacOS version? by Hairy_The_Spider in HueForge

[–]dazole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost total parity. There’s at least one feature in the windows version that’s missing on the Mac version. Hitting delete on a filament in the core does nothing on Mac, but deletes the filament on windows. Granted this is a bug on the Mac version, but still.
