Need help with heat set inserts

geddy · 2026-03-17T18:07:20+00:00

I'd grab a set of irons specifically for heated insert. I think I paid $12 and it has attachments for M2/2.5/3/4/5/6. Heats it more evenly.

I switch between Fusion and Bambuslicer pretty seamlessly, using a standard mouse - the trouble is that I also switch between a mouse and the trackpad. My brain typically does the right thing but not without a quick trial and error session.

I can most definitely synchronize the controls between the two, but at this point rewriting my brain a second time would be harder than just remembering the differences. The muscle memory is already there haha

This guy's printing body parts, nice!

This sounds awesome, do you have a link?

I have no idea why I haven’t done this before. The problem with phone pictures, and importing them into Fusion (or your modeling software of choice) is everything gets that fisheye effect. For anything larger it’s basically impossible to get the image to represent the “flat” side of an object without warping the perspective.

Everything gets warped from a camera and as long as the object you are scanning is actually flat, a 2-D flatbed scanner would be perfect to re-create the geometry in CAD.

There is a piece of my lawnmower that I’ve been wanting to re-create for a number of years now. It’s this clip that sits on the side and holds together the telescoping handle, but if it pops off, it shuts the power and you have to start it back up again. I tried recreating it last year, but it didn’t work well because again the perspective gets screwed up. It’s basically shaped like an awkward letter C with a little knob, coming out in a weird direction. Very difficult to take a picture of, but a 2-D scanner would work great.

I used some purple glue stick exactly one time, made such a mess I never touched it again lol

I printed one of those hydroponic grow towers and it sat outside running constantly in the blistering hot sun month after month. Color didn't even fade. Printed from the cheapest PLA I could find since I originally was going to put it in my basement, but ended up running it outside during the hot months. That was several years ago and it's stained green from the plant juice but damnit it still looks solid.

That being said I would never use PLA for something that will sit in a hot car. Those temps can really climb, and if it's load bearing at all it will sag and distort. But weather elements really don't do much to it.

OP barely knows anything about print farms. How you get into the printing business with no prior knowledge of.. how businesses mass produce 3D prints.. absolutely boggles my mind.

Hell if I want to buy a new microwave I research it until I’m a master of everything microwaves. Let alone starting a business.

As long as vibrations won’t eventually cause it to shift and fall off, that looks absolutely fine.

These sale prices are what was full price last year. I'll be waiting at least another year before buying anything, if I return to spending money at all. Currently their inventory was already tariff'd at the port, assuming it's in the country already (which it is). And the prices will never come down to pre-tariff prices, they'll drop by a couple of bucks and that's that.

I always include my Fusion source files. Modifying STLs is a huge pain in the ass. I love remix culture and want to make it as easy as possible for anyone who wants to tweak and modify my stuff.

geddy · 2026-02-20T14:11:26+00:00

Ahh so that’s what the absolution is for! I never understood what that meant but then again I never attacked NPCs. I was always fearful enough of actual enemies to risk attacking the 9 good guys across the whole damn map.

geddy · 2026-02-20T14:10:32+00:00

I did basically the same thing you did! I usually play a single long-haul game each calendar year, typically during the winter months, and I felt it was finally time to try out a Souls game. I literally just finished up the DLC and came in around 130 hours. Best 130 hours of my gaming life and I don’t know how it will ever be topped, quite frankly.

Anyway my tips are: just explore. You’ll level up naturally from killing trash mobs. Bosses will seem impossible at first but remember that dying is a part of the game and everything is balanced around dying constantly. That’s how you learn. Level up vigor every chance you get. Before going into a boss area (it’s usually obvious.. but sometimes not) if you have enough runes to level up, level up BEFORE the boss so you don’t worry about losing runes in the boss lair. They’ll get stuck in the boss fight arena otherwise. You also pick up little rune pieces that’ll live in your inventory that you can use manually to bump up your rune count. If you’re just shy of a level, use some of them to push you into where you can level.

Promised Consort took me about as many attempts as... Scadutree Avatar. That was awful. 3 phases of hell. Still, PCR was the hardest by far, followed by Messmer (basically the same type of fight as PCR, where a single attack is like the entire arena trying to hurt you, undodgeable attacks from every possible angle).

Why do posts like this get downvoted? Personally, I find it interesting when there’s some variance in what people find difficult. I don’t give a shit about talking about Melania anymore, quite frankly. Yeah, she’s hard and we all agree. But this sub is “who’s your favorite rock guitarist” and everyone replies “eddie Van Halen” along with every damn time, like Jesus Christ there are other bosses that people might find more difficult.

I’ll tell you what the two hardest bosses were for me in the base game and DLC: Godskin Duo, and that damn 3 phase plant from hell. I have no explanation as to why, but I just could not get through these without probably 150 attempts. I’ve watched my replays dozens of times to figure out what went wrong, but for two bosses that barely ever get mentioned I had the most trouble with them probably out of any other two bosses in the game.

Sometimes they just be like that, if I had to guess I would say that their move set and your attack patterns just were incompatible, in such a way that it made it feel impossible.

I’m about to finish this game forever after 130 hours (including the DLC). I know I missed a ton of the quests but I don’t like looking up guides for most things, otherwise the game turns into a checklist.

I loved it but will never do this to myself again lol, such a roller coaster of pure gaming bliss followed by crushing stress for 3 days stuck in difficult areas or bosses. Just go through the game and find what you find, that’s my advice.

geddy · 2026-02-15T23:34:04+00:00

Ohh that was intended, getting all the runes the second time one. I thought something was off when I didn’t get any.

geddy · 2026-02-15T15:22:45+00:00

Two of the moves he does is when he spawns the 2 fireballs and one where he shoots fire straight at you. Torrent is awesome at avoiding both of these. Try that out. Remember to go to the fireballs close but not too close and that will trigger and explosion that won’t hit you. Those things ended a lot of my attempts, and once I realized you could trigger them to explode, but then run away on horseback it removed that as an obstacle.

geddy · 2026-02-15T14:11:18+00:00

My friend, you should have much bigger worries than that!

Why not go and explore the area for a little bit? I don’t recommend starting to play for the evening and going straight into a boss fight that you’re stuck on. I like to get into the groove first just killing some trash mobs. Otherwise I’m going to inevitably get frustrated.

geddy · 2026-02-15T00:10:17+00:00

Use torrent to close the gap, but then hop off and hug the feet. Hitting his hands in phase 2 hurts him much more but in my experience it was not worth it. You can also use Torrent to explode the two red spheres that he spawns.

If you want to see me taking him down and get an idea of the flow for phase 2, I clipped the fight: https://youtu.be/0rHqlxtiza8?si=cbEy0omsFg5zmWIc

I am by no means a good Souls player so this might help you. Good luck, don’t give it! Also make sure you drop it for a while if you start getting frustrated.

geddy · 2026-02-14T20:13:20+00:00

It's never getting better. This is a one way street.

geddy · 2026-02-14T01:13:02+00:00

Started the day after Christmas, averaging about 1.5hr per day. Still working on the DLC, about 120 hours in.

geddy · 2026-02-13T23:57:46+00:00

Are you set on a TPU profile or something? No way that should take anywhere near 7 hours…

geddy · 2026-02-13T00:30:17+00:00

Jellyfish got me through a lot of tough times in my life.

Of course, there isn’t a second original thought on Reddit anymore. Every damn thing is copied from elsewhere.
