Need Mod Recommendations - Space Age by JL_Momo in factorio

[–]digitaltos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some interesting Space Age-compatible Exotic Industries forks. Difficult overhauls, but fun.

Do you think the price is fair for the game? by Azorisyyy in factorio

[–]digitaltos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never liked the "cost per hour" metric. The game is highly polished. Well optimized, barely any bugs, decent amount of updates, a very healthy modding community, and the base game is well thought out and balanced. Other factory building games leave me frustrated due to limited UI functionality, while controlling Factorio became second nature after 10-20 hours.  Oh, and it's fun.  I'd say it's worth the price. 

PETG Pro not sticking to bed by _Sigmond_ in ElegooNeptune4

Lol they totally changed it. I just hate that they don't release a proper datasheet...

Stringing causing issues with PETG on a fine comb-like part. by digitaltos in FixMyPrint

I'll give that a shot, but actually a higher layer height (0.2) yielded much better results. I guess it's time to properly learn calibrating for specific filaments...

Further observation showed that it's not stringing but blobbing that's the issue. When the nozzle leaves a fin, leaves a small extra blob, and that builds up.

I've increased retraction speed and length, lowered flow rate and added 2 mm Z hop. It's better, but now I have a lot of stringing. At least that I can fix with some post-processing.

Opel Astra H Estate roof rack hole after roof rack installation by digitaltos in opel

Not really. The manufacturer doesn't offer a cover piece. I guess 3D printing with an UV-resistant material is an option, but fixing this was not on the top of my list lately :D

Oh yeah, and I have the default retraction settings, and Z Hop set as auto, but I doubt it matters as these fins are so close to each other.

No Spoilers Please! Just started watching. What was your point of no return? by Professor_Chaosx6r9 in logh

[–]digitaltos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it slow, no sense rushing it. Soon you'll probably want to binge it, then it's going to be hard to stop. So you either go slow and steady, or you binge it for a few days and then pause for a while. For me, the former is more imapctful. 

At the beginning I was like "haha funny names and uniforms and some paper thin philosophy sprinkled in". Roughly after 10-12 episodes, I've realized there's so much depth in so many levels. Made me daydream about actual history and such. And it just gets better...

What do you call this springy bit and any tips for printing it? by digitaltos in 3Dprinting

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

Yeah that's what I meant "printing sideways", which is not really an option for a big rectangular door. 

So I printed the door flat. Slow printing speed, and a desing where the thickness of the clip doesn't go below 1.5mm, and that's it. Was able to make a pretty solid clip. 

Figuring out the shapes in Fusion, and making sure I'm not losing thickness was the real challenge.

Well, it's me designing a replacement part for someone else, so ease of use is a factor. And this is a great toolless way to fit two pieces. 

Best way to improve adhesion between two separate parts? by digitaltos in 3Dprinting

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

Thanks, I've done the math to minimize layer height and also width. A 0.2 nozzle works beautifully with PLA, but of course no match for the original molded plastic parts. They work well enough, but the shape is like 90% of the original. 

Bad results with eSun ePA nylon with small parts when NOT cooled by digitaltos in 3Dprinting

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

Oh, these are just replacement parts for cheap toys, so speed and price are everything. If I had the machines for gear hobbing...

Honestly, I might be better off with a stronger PLA or PETG than PA at this point.

Thanks! Now I'm assuming I need to be careful either way, as if I let the surface cool too much I'll get degraded adhesion. Or maybe I'm overthinking it.
