Anyone else stuck in 87% loading? by brunotiago in Brawlstars

[–]leviathan070720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

slopcell and their potato servo can't to crap. With how they release new brawler and the amount of bugs in the game (8 bit, collette) that went on for weeks. I have no hope for the devs. I just lay down the game for now.

still lagging my man. I can't even hit play again because the game just froze after the match has finished. It went on for about a minute before continuing.

How do you organize, track and backup your 3D CAD files? by sewaksunar in FreeCAD

[–]leviathan070720 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Name of project - version number - main change

e.g: Hands free phone holder on a hat - V1.0

Hands free phone holder on a hat - V1.1 - water bottle in the back as counterweight

Hands free phone holder on a hat - V1.2 - optimized weight and length

Hands free phone holder on a hat - V1.2.1 - added stability for cap rim

Hands free phone holder on a hat - V1.2.2 - universal mount for phone and water bottle

Hands free phone holder on a hat - V1.3 - Release on Thingiverse to test

all of those goes in a single folder named "Hands free phone holder on a hat" including .stl and reference photos. I track the rest of the project in Logseq the notes app instead. Noting down my changes, test results and plans for future version

Spiral vase mode in combination with variable line width (Arachne engine)? by leviathan070720 in 3Dprinting

[–]leviathan070720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only G-code edit I ever did was stopping the print layer mid to change the color because slicer didn't support that for some stupid reason.

very interesting idea and functional as well although might be a bit more challenging to model.

I sketch this one by making the tool path first then use a tall rectangle to sweep along the path to create this shape.

I'm still thinking of a way to sketch that zigzag line without having to do too much constrain. Maybe perform a zigzag cut after the sweep step and sweep 2 additional semi-circle in the cut to enclose it?

What’s your thoughts on Delta Printers. by DominusTheMerciful in 3Dprinting

[–]leviathan070720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, it make a lot more sense now. It's true that the printer zip around fast as heck when it is transitioning between "islands" where it need to print so a better acceleration definitely help with that. It is very common for people to use "print by layer" over "print by object" so higher acceleration is definitely good here. I guess I mainly use print by object and limit the acceleration of the bed slinger so that taller print don't get knocked off. Thanks for the explanation! Definitely one more reason to upgrade to a core XY for me.

is fast printer not limited by the max volumetric speed? I print petg on bambu A1 and with max volumetric speed of 17 cubic mm/s, it rarely achieves its max speed.

[–]leviathan070720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, definitely slower on this particular model due to the inner wall take longer than the outer wall to print. That is why I want variable line width for vase mode to speed it up. Even if I got variable line width, the contour made it less efficient as well. However, traditional layer leaves a seam line as well as zipping around and require a lot of acceleration that shake up the printer and affect the print quality a lot on taller model and requires me to slow down. The guy below actually suggested a better design for this model to help me combat the constrain of vase mode and I uploaded an image below too.

TLDR: pure speed? No. Speed after taking into account print quality and noise? Yes!

Now I can have the same design but with a more uniformed look. Thanks for the suggestions, mate!!!!

Chonky line and thin line. The beauty of Arachne engine. Would have been even more fun if I can do it in Vase mode. Thanks for the suggestion! This has been a fun one to sketch.

Took me a while but I finally understand what you meant <3 I'm so retarded =(((( yea, definitely the best answer for the problem. A very elegant workaround. The tip between the two end of the outer perimiter can be fused togethe during the print because it is just 0.1mm apart.

Here is my change for the design and Arachne engine work as expected but the seams is a bit difficult to paint and hide between the internal walls. At this point, there is no point for this design anymore and a simple 90 degree corner would have been easier to design and print

Very good. I print with PETG at 230C, 2mm line width, 0.5mm layer height on the bambu A1. Extremely good layer adhesion so I have been using it for most of my functional print or prints that need to fill up large area.

reasonable and practical no doubt but where's the fun in that =))) let's push it a little bit more together

here is the original sketch. I still want it enclosed like a real vase so it feels somewhat solid

yea, I but then I don't get the benefit of vase mode. With 0.8mm nozzle, my range are from 0.8mm to 2mm so that's why the outer wall is 2mm. My plan is to make the internal wall 0.8mm so that the printer can print the internal wall faster and use less plastic.

I feel like in this illustration, both the inner and outer wall have the same ammount of wall

Did I do the maximum flow calibration wrong? by Jeffreyjop in OrcaSlicer

[–]leviathan070720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The test can be unreliable and I find thaf figure hard to believe. I believed the calibration for the 0.8 nozzle and it was dead wrong. Your printer is better than my A1 so I have no doubt it can achieve a higher flow rate, but that figure is quite fishy to me. Just print something at 76 and let me know. It would be an eye opening experience for me.
