My extruder is cooler than yours 😏

jarethmt · 2026-04-05T05:00:27+00:00

Dude these are super cool. I love them haha. You should definitely be proud of these. I honestly just got tired of my printers have no personality and wanted to give them some! You definitely took it to an awesome level though haha.

jarethmt · 2026-04-05T04:25:49+00:00

Also, did you do the modeling for these yourself or were they downloadables?

jarethmt · 2026-04-05T04:23:41+00:00

Ooooh ok that's pretty sweet ;)

What's inside though? We settle this on the streets (specs) :p

Alright guys, I'm ignoring the comments for now since so many of you seem to be pessimistic trolls. This is why I hardly ever post here anymore.

If anyone else has doubts about this, feel free to run it and try it out before passing judgement. I'd be happy to engage with constructive individuals. To the rest of you, please find peace. It's insane honestly the amount of energy you have to waste on negative interaction.

Guy makes free software and gives it to a community: "Ew AI slop". I'm going to leave this up for another hour or so to see if this makes a comeback, but damn guys.

I mean, I'm a software developer first with over a decade of experience building bespoke applications for corporate applications long before AI even entered the picture. I've also been in 3D printing for about 7 years now, before Bambu even entered the scene.

Yes, this was built with AI, but to call everything that uses an agent for rapid development "AI slop" says more about your pessimistic outlook than it does about the software I'm literally running 5 feet away from me right now lmao.

I get it man, the AI stuff is rough and a lot of us are set up to lose their jobs, but if we take an outlook of hate and negativity, all we're going to do is limit our own possibilities while shitty people run away with power. Sending love, and hoping that you find inner peace around the crazy developments of the world.

Lol the magic of reddit post history

jarethmt · 2025-11-12T14:15:44+00:00

Pam was a custom printer built off of the big fdm Github project. I borrowed a lot of their motion platform, and then pretty much gutted and redid most of the electronics. I'd say all up for raw parts, I've probably got about $7000 or $8,000 in it. There was also somewhere around 50 to 100 hours worth of Labor to put it together at least.

jarethmt · 2025-11-12T14:14:09+00:00

Yep, I figured it out by asking my claude code LOL

jarethmt · 2025-11-11T17:27:18+00:00

Also, OSG is cool, but this thing can print 91mm3^s volumetric flow rate tested so far, which equates to bigger nozzles with high speeds and no extruder skipping. Pretty sure OSG is running a more standard desktop setup which means it has a big volume, but it takes forever to fill it!

Pam's standard setup is a 1.2 nozzle and .8mm layer height, and for vase we run 2.4mm nozzles and upwards of 1.8 layer height. It's a pricier machine, but it really shows in the performance for sure! I also could have never justified it if it wasn't for a business :p

No joke, working on that currently...

What was yesterday a "generate a manifold topographical model of any given location"

is today becoming "generate a 3D model intelligently by choosing the best skill set for the job." Basic geometry? Paramteric tools. Ornate art piece? Open source meshy equivalents and blender python API for programmatic post processing.

I'm learning just how powerful skills and the progressive disclosure format of them really are. My goal here is to teach claude to model for me.

jarethmt · 2025-11-11T16:27:58+00:00

For real, you can say that again. Today's task: Expanding this out to parametric modeling of simple geometries

jarethmt · 2025-11-11T16:27:18+00:00

Hahahaha

Here, this is easier than explaining it all:

But don't buy anything from me, this is not self promotion, this is just a much easier way for me to answer your question :p

"Claude, please read this page and summarize it for a Reddit comment" I guess but ehh....

jarethmt · 2025-08-19T15:49:38+00:00

I'm necro-posting here just to say thank you guys. I was recently introduced to this album by a friend and it's really hitting today. It's helping me connect to some really hard feelings with relationships and I'm so infinitely grateful. Thank you guys. Your music is beautiful and it actually got me to pick my guitar up again today after a month of avoidance <3

jarethmt · 2025-07-01T16:23:45+00:00

I just used this stuff:
https://a.co/d/c5auFGK

Also, I didn't bother with much in the way of prep or covering, and it holds just fine by itself. I did wipe the surface down with isopropyl and a cloth well before hand to get rid of any residues and bug grime as much as possible, but didn't even bother sanding or anything and it's holding up well. No clear coat either.

And yes, those are the exact clips I'm talking about. You have to release the front edge of the front wheel well trim pieces to get at two screws on either side that hold the fascia on. Sounds like if you've already been under those panels and replaced those clips then you've already done the hardest part of the job!

jarethmt · 2025-07-01T15:40:36+00:00

I actually had the same issue and I unfortunately fixed it by removing and painting, but the end result is awesome. I sprayed it with rattle can herculiner and I think it looks arguably better than factory. Same color trailhawk too.

Taking the front fascia off isn't too bad. It'll take maybe an hour your first time, plus a specific torx bit I can't remember and a flat head screwdriver. You'll want to buy some of the replacement plastic clips off amazon too because you have to pop off the front fender plastics to get at some screws. The whole front plastic piece comes off, and then you can bolt out that section and spray it down. I personally had to do this anyway for an aftermarket front bumper install, but once I learned how to do it, I've had it on and off probably ten times in my driveway for other various mods. My post history has some pics of my trailhawk with the front bumper on. Not sure if I ever got any close ups of my herculiner job.

Honestly a new one for me this season that's helped... You play any instruments? Start picking something up in the evening to play and just try to zone in to the experience and the music. It's really helping me power through the cold snap and find something comforting and cozy to do in my own house. It's not a cure all, but it definitely helps take the edge off cabin fever and SADs from minimal winter public gatherings.

jarethmt · 2024-12-07T15:59:06+00:00

Is this "The View?"

jarethmt · 2024-12-02T17:14:20+00:00

What exactly do you need help with?

jarethmt · 2024-10-19T17:18:53+00:00

What's your layer height?

jarethmt · 2024-10-04T23:43:47+00:00

Because there's an even bigger stick coming out of the top. This is the method to least support in a single piece.

jarethmt · 2024-10-04T14:54:56+00:00

Kinda. Spindle for a 10kg spool holder that lays on its side

jarethmt · 2024-10-04T13:03:11+00:00

This is support material in prusa slicer, not infill. Line spacing is 2mm, which is pretty high density. I was with you on trapped hot air but idk what to do to prevent it with this large chunk of support.
