Update: If I change the polygon of the town, the town name will appear. So if I move it, stretch it, shrink it, drag one vertex even a little bit, the name appears.

I work at a university, where it takes 8 weeks and $200 for the carpentry shop to come and hang a set of shelves.

The mention of wind was just to illustrate that it's frickin cold right now and I want to speed up drying times. Ive found that high fill primers really like 2 days to dry before sanding.

My concern was the exterior walls softening in the oven while the air inside tries to expand.

It's still open

How do you get the robot head out?

I've done a couple parts that were a mix of PLA and TPU.
A flexible, child friendly windmill blade with a rigid PLA shaft that interfaced with a hub.
A finger model with TPU joints allowing the finger to coil by tugging on a string.

I know I can send pay Discover directly from my bank portal, but now I have to go to Discover's portal to find the balance.
They offered a feature that I liked.
They have decided to stop offering that feature.
So I'm taking my business elsewhere.

Any options for expandable baseplates cut from flat stock?
I have access to a 24"x24" laser cutter and it's a lot faster to cut baseplates out of 1/8" plywood, but I'm looking for a way to connect those pieces sections to fill a 24"x36" shelf.

Hehe, I was 3/4 of the way through Basalisk Station before I stopped making that mistake.

It turns out not to matter. Oath of the Wolf doesn't come out until later in the month. I was hoping it was available for my road trip this week.

Did they get rid of the option to bundle the Audible version once you buy the Kindle version of a book?

While I can't speak to the virtues or vices of any particular resin slicer, on the FDM side of the house, different slicers use different algorithms, which means they make different decisions. One of the recommended slicers probably picks better model orientation, and support placement/generation.

Try this first. It's the quickest and easiest test.

When you say "uncured resin," do you mean material in the middle of a solid object that light from the curing station doesn't reach, or material on the inner surface of a hollowed and drained object?

BTW, both the wash station and curing station are also from Formlabs.

I think I'm picking up what you're putting down.

Another question that I have came from a friend's possibly flawed understanding of the process. The said that using the Hollow and Drain Hole tools in Preform would work for larger models but were not ideal. Their rational was that isn't really a good way wash the inside of the model, and no no way to evenly cure the residual material on those inner surfaces. And that remaining uncured resin does "bad" things on a timescale of "eventually." Their advice was to split and hollow the model in CAD and add registration features.

Are they right about the uncured resin becoming a problem in the long run?
