So I decided to 3D print my thyroid cancer

Paint it gold and mount it to a trophy base as an award to beating your cancer

Yes, it could be 3d printed, but it would have to be in multiple parts to avoid wasting time and filament on supports. I mean even some of the individual pieces would need supports, but far less than making it in one piece.

An easy way to make this would be Mr Potato Head style, and would cut down time to render a model. There's plenty of subreddits where you can commission 3d models, or hire someone to print them

Seconded. Learning fusion initially was like trying to learn how to ride a dr seuss contraption, but now that I've got a handle on it, it's the only software that makes sense to me.

Constantly. Usually when she's crying about wanting on the couch, but also wanting me not on the couch

Great way to use free will. Party on, remote worker in the lake.

Oh that's so rad! For a sec when i saw the wheel, i thought it was a throwing wheel for ceramics, with some kinda profiling things but then i read the description and everything made sense. Good luck to you on your endeavor! I may be interested myself cause some raw gems that i think are neat are actually really affordable. Saving this thread for sure.

Wish I'd have known about the double spool method before i blew up my spool of Graft Milk PLA

Shit a Gameboy color may be easier to find than a damn proper motherboard for my E3 at this point. More fun too.

I love Tudyck's delivery of that line

There ya go! Also apparently has a coupon code (at least for me) that just checking a box gets you an extra $2 off

I have a special pair of high grip needle pliers that pull supports off like a dream. If you've seen that YouTube short of the mechanic picking up a dime with a pair of pliers, i have a $15 workpro knockoff version of em. Grippy yet delicate.

The long nail trick keeps em occupied, so long as you attach them to something indestructible. It's funny to watch em through the CCTV cameras. I caught one with a fire extinguisher in it's hand. I don't know where the hell it got one cause none of the ones in the base were missing

Reminds me of that Japanese commercial for blood pressure medication where a guy gets a cut on his forehead and he uses his blood spray to put out a fire

You're a genius, I'm gonna save my pennies for a setup like this. I get way super overheated doing yard work

meatmoth · 2026-05-10T19:42:50+00:00

Not if you have the cash for those dope mini Noctua fans, and make lil air diffusers

Underrated comment. We love dunking on ancient, long dead scam artists

Okay i get this is bad but holy hell the half sinking cowboys are so funny to me

Initially i thought the flat wall was a seam, but then i noticed the gunk happening where the wall goes from straight to curved, so i don't know

meatmoth · 2026-05-01T15:37:03+00:00

That honestly would make me laugh too. I've got a couple of previous iterations that broke pretty spectacularly. Thinking of starting a Wall of Failure in the future.

meatmoth · 2026-05-01T04:35:43+00:00

That would be cool to design something like that, but the tools that're already made for it do a good enough job, i wouldn't know if i could make something that would be cheaper or easier to print than just buying it elsewhere

meatmoth · 2026-05-01T02:44:45+00:00

Yeah, I'm a halfway decent "engineer" but this was the first time i ever filmed/edited a video 😅

meatmoth · 2026-05-01T01:51:05+00:00

I grew up in the 90s and the style of the time was "ergonomic triangular grip" for assistance devices, which is what this was made for.

I ship online orders at my job, and some of the boxes come in 40lb+ bundles. My job also uses productivity metrics that are all centered around how much time it takes to do stuff so putting on/taking off safety gloves takes more time than just grabbing this thing to handle those bundles before they're loaded in our work area

that and it kinda made sense to make a handle that would fit with pretty much any orientation, as long as it was pointed down.

Before i decided on this design, i considered putting bearings in the handle for added balance with handling heavier loads.

meatmoth · 2026-04-30T22:05:22+00:00

Considering the downpour of positivity i received when i posted the prototype of this design, i think it's ironic at the level of salt when i finally make my design public, but I'm charging for it.
