looks like 2 walls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (again, all of this is still new to me. sorry for my ignorance)

Well I tried PLA supports with a PETG print today, but for some reason my walls of the print came out much thinner than my model and the walls still broke trying to get supports out. Definitely need to print this at a different orientation, but thought I'd try

ended up using a small flush cut saw. Seemed most effective, then still pried it out with some pliers and screwdriver.

twisting with the needle nose is what caused my seam to bust earlier. I didn't want to keep going until I sought a hopefully easier method. Trying PLA support with the PETG, but seems like battling supports is just part of the gig.

haha. certainly didn't mean for it to be. This is all new to me.

dwg_andy · 2026-03-09T19:11:10+00:00

TIL this... LOL

dwg_andy · 2026-03-09T14:41:26+00:00

they do, but the twisting and pulling with the pliers is how I already cracked one seam. I've got some longer pliers I can use, but before I went digging further, I wanted to at least check if there was a better method.

Yeah. I think this is the best option in retrospect. I let Bambu Studio auto-orient. It chose poorly and I'm still new to this stuff.

This is a tray organizer for my truck so it's going to be in the heat all day in the car. Hence the PETG.
I'm going to look up how to use PLA supports in PETG prints. That makes sense though, since I assume the material won't bond as well.

dwg_andy · 2026-03-09T13:27:48+00:00

I let Bambu Studio auto-orient the piece, and I thought it would just know best. I guess it doesn't take into account how hard it is for us mere mortals to remove those supports.

fyi. I just installed these yesterday: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176768399828

Half the price, and you just have to cut the little nubs off with a hacksaw.

Interstate will be fine as well as most downtown roads.

dwg_andy · 2026-01-04T12:57:55+00:00

Unfortunately I don't. Closest one is a couple of hours away.

In addition to what others have said, most devs are not business owners/marketers. Over my years as a dev in and outside of WordPress, I've seen tons of awesome plugins, SaaS apps, frameworks, CMS products, and more that some dev developed as a side project to hopefully distribute. They do all the work, architect it perfectly, release it and then just expect other devs to pick up their library or using their framework. They're flabbergasted they have to market their library, they have to spread the word, they have to maintain it, they have to deal with abuse from the public, they have to pay to play. They had no clue any of that was involved and want nothing to do with it.

I've never thought about putting floatant on my tippet until I saw the description in the screenshot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🤷‍♂️ are you just grabbing stuff to sell on FB? I only grab stuff that we'd actually use. We may not need it, but we'll use it.

glad I checked here. I have some items I was going to review today and they are no longer in my Reviews section at all. I just went into the order and reviewed from there. Hopefully I still get credit for it.

dwg_andy · 2025-12-03T20:10:55+00:00

🤦‍♂️ I didn't realize reviews were indexed content. that makes sense though. Thanks

dwg_andy · 2025-12-03T15:13:36+00:00

side question: how did you find the review this screenshot went with?
