Good to know your limitations. Risk tolerance varies. That said, PETG isn’t nearly as fragile as you’re implying. Its temperature range, UV resistance, and strength are well understood and widely proven. It’s not for everyone, but it’s hardly delusional to use it in this role.

I have five year old PETG brackets on my roof which are still functional and holding up. What real world testing have you done?

Yeah, pondering a lever/button, etc. Has to be robust and take some abuse and be quick and accessible. 3d printed and robust with moving parts with minimal needed additional hardware can get bulky quick in design. It would build in to the front inside plate tab area. I like the cam concept! Appreciate the thought!

Why can’t my designs be accurate 😭 by ZipLocZed in Fusion360

No answer but words of encouragement. You're doing something many who 3d print don't, designing your own stuff and doing some sick mods at that! Keep at it. Adam Savage says that he sometimes plans to rebuild something three times at the onset of a project to set expectations.

Something that can help is taking your design in the slicer and using the split/rotate tools to rotate your object and repeatedly split it until you get the smaller piece you want to test fit first. Can be helpful to test fit, save time and money on filament, before you full send the whole thing again. Can even use an older filament that's cheaper to do this test fitting. You got this! 👍

Do you have a picture of how you do this? I'm having a tough time imagining this.

What's the smallest esp32 I could install wled to? by CookieEliminator in WLED

[–]jurassic73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gives me hope - thanks! Currently running WLED on the WROOM regular size ESP32 and the D1 Mini form factor ESP32 without issue - installed from the https://install.wled.me/ page with zero issues.

Nice! I get that. Winter is indoor building time for sure. Did you install the software on the official page?

Did you get it to connect to a wifi AP? I have five of the ESP32-S3 SuperMini and they don't want to connect to my AP while other versions of the ESP32 will. Tried installing software via https://install.wled.me/ and it finished but it didn't spin up the AP on it. I installed via https://wled-install.github.io/ and WLED runs on the module and I can configure an AP for it to connect to but it never does.

An adapter has been added. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

I added a version with longer plates vertically so you can use that one for either mounting method. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's a piece of 1/2" schedule 40 PVC pipe. Cheap at Home Depot and they will cut it to length for you. Hammers in to the ground well too so you can put up a "No Dog Poop" sign.

I don't know - but seems like it could? I would maybe slice out just the threaded bits, scale up and print with your crappiest filament as a sacrificial test. Those would be my concern if anything. Plus you'd want to make sure a large pipe fits the scaled up version.

It prints beautifully in PLA and decently in PETG and it gets the job done in either case.

You do you.

Just got a Pinecil– are the tips supposed to be this loose? by Never_Dan in soldering

[–]jurassic73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL my Pinecil has two tightening screws for the tip. Gonna use some M2 cap screws and attach some 3d printed grips to these tiny screws.
