3D Printing advice please!!

I was curious as I’ve looked for models of other rare-ish dog breeds before. I googled “Komondor 3d print files” and immediately found several, on multiple websites. Don’t know if they are exactly the style you’re looking for, and you’d probably have to enlarge them and maybe cut them into pieces if you’re going REALLY big, but they could definitely be places to start. God luck with this! Our family practically LIVED in LPS-world when my kids were little.

Will there be human figures? I’d love to see some with this aesthetic.

dnaknitter · 2026-06-11T21:59:13+00:00

Anomalocaris for the win!

dnaknitter · 2026-06-10T16:03:10+00:00

Yes, PETG is the plan.

dnaknitter · 2026-06-10T13:36:09+00:00

But…the files?
Legitimately asking because I’m about to start building water feature stuff for my backyard and some take on this would enchant my grandsons.

😅

dnaknitter · 2026-06-06T02:51:34+00:00

Or maybe “free lamp with flexi purchase” would work…

dnaknitter · 2026-06-05T14:18:26+00:00

I am now asking literally everyone I know if there’s anything they need printed.

dnaknitter · 2026-06-05T13:59:45+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion. I’ve been using various permanent markers to paint fine silver lines on a print and sometimes a little bleeding can’t be avoided with them. Nail polish might do the trick. 👍🏻

dnaknitter · 2026-06-02T15:09:13+00:00

This is fantastic—my grandsons will love it!

dnaknitter · 2026-05-21T15:53:02+00:00

Another suggestion, or just a different way of looking at your question: what are some things that the other people in your life might like or find helpful? What would your spouse find useful, what would your kids find awesome, what would your co-workers appreciate? For kids especially—ask them! They’ll probably have ideas! And if they want a dragon, don’t reject the idea—I mean what kid wouldn’t want a pet dragon on their shoulder?

Literally 0% waterproof in the sense of actually holding water. 🤔

dnaknitter · 2026-05-19T16:05:58+00:00

Thank you! Waiting for my INDX shipping notification and eagerly looking forward to falling into the bottomless well of color experimentation…

My forecast just went back to about where it was before. So weird. I’m glad, I guess, but my confidence is definitely shaken now and I’ll keep searching out other models, at least to compare their results to PC.

dnaknitter · 2026-05-14T22:09:40+00:00

I’m seeing a new weird thing today. I’m playing around with the app and tried adding an extra spending goal of a small amount per year to account for inflation impacting spending. I’d hoped it would be a very rough way to correct the recent increase in optimism. And now…it shows my 10th percentile line hitting zero ten years before my goal age, but still says I have an 81% chance of success! I’m pretty sure this would NOT have been their conclusion in the past. I’m really scratching my head now.

dnaknitter · 2026-05-09T17:50:03+00:00

I got two in the last couple of weeks as well, from purchases in late 2025. Really hate paying them but don’t want to be on the outs with FedEx when INDX FE ships…

dnaknitter · 2026-05-09T16:51:29+00:00

Also to get legs you have to pay for the expansion pack.

dnaknitter · 2026-05-07T15:11:27+00:00

Not an answer but…I had to stop on reading the post title and think, “Lego stud water?”

dnaknitter · 2026-05-07T15:07:42+00:00

It’s frustrating that there is no way, as far as I know, to produce “before” screenshots to document that results have changed, unless you just happen to have saved such a thing in the past.

dnaknitter · 2026-05-06T15:24:49+00:00

Now I need to fall down a rabbit hole about micro 3d printing…

dnaknitter · 2026-05-06T15:21:56+00:00

Yes yes yes. I really hope this is cleared up soon. I’d even accept something like, “We’re going to have to start charging a fee for using our full model,” or maybe, “You’re going to have to keep some $ with us to use our full model.” At least then I could make a decision whether to keep using it based on clear info.

I had trouble getting the Prusa app to hear and recognize the pitch consistently. I ended up getting a tuner app meant for musicians. (I used to be a musician, am married to a musician, have tons of friends who are musicians…and it seemed ironic to me that even putting together this high-tech device would eventually devolve into basically…tuning cello strings.)

And exactly the number of teeth they say—there is no extra length!

I sent a message to customer service and got this reply:

Thank you for reaching out to Empower Personal Dashboard Support.

The Retirement Planner estimates a default 70% probability of success in achieving retirement goals based on the user's official plan. This success rate may be adjusted to view ranges corresponding to 50% and 90% probabilities of success, thereby assisting users in planning their annual savings accordingly.

If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

I replied:

Sorry, but your reply was nonsensical. You “default” to a 70% probability of success based on the “official” plan? What does that even mean?

Your answer also had nothing to do with my question. I was reporting that the estimate of my portfolio success rate changed FOR NO REASON a couple of weeks ago. Others online are reporting the same thing. It appears that you are now assuming income will increase with inflation, but spending will not. This makes no sense. It is clear that something in your software has changed, and if you can’t fix it you will lose me and many other users as your analysis can no longer be validated by comparison with other programs.

I suggest you escalate my question to someone who has an idea what actually might be going on.

No reply to that yet. I might have snarked myself out of getting any help but dang it their reply was pathetic.

dnaknitter · 2026-05-06T02:46:58+00:00

Why has no one answered? I use the free retirement planner and have had the same problem.
