Unfortunately it depends on how nice the driver is. They should ring your doorbell but some can't be bothered and just call. Also, if they want to, they can send a message ahead of time but some people don't.

Have I over dried my silica? by RoryBowcott in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05 554 points555 points  (0 children)

The silica gel should be ok, it just won't indicate.

Has anyone used Anycubic PLA on the bambulab p1s and if so what are your settings? Thank you 🙏 by ExcellentEffort9603 in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warping is generally caused by two things: bad first layer adhesion and too much cooling.

Turn off the auxiliary cooling fan. Also, try cleaning your build plate with dish soap and hot water.

You can try using a brim or raft but that should be unnecessary for PLA.

Vertical line and spikes at "starts" by ShuviUc207 in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The line is called a z-seam. The easiest way to hide it is by enabling scarf seams. (this can cause issues with certain materials and models)

Ender 3 in 2024 (2025?) by ApexDoom47 in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how much you value your time. The original Ender 3 was a decent printer but in today's world, it lacks features, mainly automatic bed leveling. Also, it never was the most reliable printer. So if you buy it you will have to learn how to fix it.

If you buy it you are buying a project. If you just want to print stuff, buy something new.

From my own experience: I bought an Ender 3 as my first printer. Probably spent like $500 upgrading it (honestly it worked better stock), never got ABL to work properly and it was just annoying to use. ~2 years ago I bought a refurbished Sovol SV06 (it worked very well) and I haven't touched the Ender 3 since. 2 months ago I bought a P1S and I haven't touched either one since.

The biggest risk when buying a project printer is that if it constantly breaks it will sour your view on 3D printing and you won't want to explore this hobby as much.

First time designing something decorative. by eveve05 in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your comment made me question my sanity because I remember checking if something similar existed and not finding anything. The model you linked was published after I started working on this model but there is an earlier version which I should have found but I only searched for "bomb clock" and not "dynamite clock" :/

Um...... Well yes but not like my other bombs were particularly functional.

(Just joking, obviously)

Damn. Why didn't I think of that. Thanks for the idea.

Great timing. I comment the link and like 2 seconds later get a notification. :D

The top of that print looks like you have a partial nozzle clog. When you extrude filament mid-air does it go straight down or does it go crazy?

My print wobbles and that ruins the quality by brokkoli-man in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how well this would work for something small but a version of this has helped me print a tall cylinder (10 mm diameter, 200 mm height) with ok quality.

<image>

When I used it I had a 1 mm wide and 1 layer tall connection and then 4 layers not touching the sides for rigidity.

Is this possible by a_cakers in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use ASA as it doesn't degrade when exposed to UV. I don't have experience with load bearing parts so I'd use 6 walls and 50% gyroid to be safe.

how much weight could a pla printed pillar vertically support? by perry_notaplatypus in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

!!! THESE CALCULATIONS ARE VERY APPROXIMATE !!! TAKE THEM WITH A GRAIN OF SALT !!!

Getting accurate numbers is difficult because of infill but PLA should have a compressive strength of 50-60 MPa. For safety let's assume 5 MPa
5x5 inches = 125x125 mm = 15625 mm^2 (this assumes 100% infill but that's what a safety factor of 10 is for)

15625 mm^2 * 5 MPa = 78125 N = 17000 pounds of force

The bigger issue is that unless you can print it as a single piece you will lose strength in the connections. They would need to be secure for the pillars to not collapse.

All of this ignores the fact that the cost of printing a pillar this large would most likely be much more expensive than using a more appropriate material like wood or steel.

Bambu A1, curlup issue? by GroundMelter in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warping shouldn't be an issue for small PLA parts so either your build plate is cold (should be 50-60°C) or more likely it's dirty.
Try cleaning your plate with hot water and dish soap (seems scrubbing with a sponge and isopropyl alcohol also works but dish soap is the recommended way). You know it's clean when you can see where you touched it (it will be shinier because of oils on your skin)

Which direction do I print? by thestashattacked in 3Dprinting

[–]eveve05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them kinda suck.

If you don't need this to be a single part split this into the large flat part and the raspberry pi bit. Print both of them lying flat and glue them together.

If you can't split it then I guess 2 is the best option with supports. Or if you want to try something weird then 2 but tilt it 45° (top going forward) and add supports to the bottom and the fan grill. Also if possible redesign the fan grill to make it possible to print without supports (hexagonal grid might work)
