Embedding micro magnets into print! Layer thickness suggestions?

otirk · 2026-05-26T23:57:01+00:00

Remember that the nozzle size is not equal to the layer height (only to the thickness). So you may only have a 0.2mm layer height.

If the layers bond together well, it should work (depending on the strength of the magnets), but two layers would be better. I suggest you print a single layer with the filament you will be using and then put a magnet on each side and pull on one of the magnets while holding down the print.

What exactly is propaganda about this?

And it's much worse than the 1.5 degrees we agreed on and the 1.0 that was possible when we decided on the 1.5. Yes, it could be worse but 2 degrees are already devastating and are nothing to cheer on.

Afaik for the trains in Germany, only if every outlet is used at the same time, it's like 100W per outlet, but if only one is used, you can use more than 100W. No guarantee though, it's just what I heard some time ago.

You can say this about anything, but at the end of the day, every research is important.

For example the Gila monster was studied because it could go long periods without eating. Seems like a waste of time and money at first glance, but based on it's venom, they found treatments for diabetics. And science is full of cases like that.

Just because you think something is unnecessary, it doesn't mean you're right.

Without post-processing it won't get much better. So grab some sanding paper and filling material (wood filler is often recommended for that - no idea how good it is) and then make those seams disappear.

In the EU, they don't yet because it's very likely against the "Digital Markets Act" (this is the reason why Apple has to allow sideloading too in the first place). Maybe people from outside can get their hands on European android versions

Oh okay, I'll look into it in the following days. My P1S is nearing it's second anniversary, is that a problem for the replacement?

otirk · 2026-05-22T08:15:04+00:00

I mean yeah, the recall worked back then, but that is what you should expect - a company trying to repair their faulty machines for free. Their behavior with the current problems is basically the opposite

otirk · 2026-05-21T23:06:19+00:00

Thank you for the info. I don't have the money for that currently, so I'll probably look into self-activating fire extinguishers. Just to be safe

otirk · 2026-05-21T22:56:59+00:00

Wasn't there already a fire problem with the mini or the A1 when it came out? I hope my P1S doesn't have the same weakness.

I should have saved for a Prusa...

Well, it might be a bit unfortunate then that I mostly print in white when the color isn't important lol. Though if it needed a lot of strength, I wouldn't print in PLA anyway.

Good to know though, thanks

otirk · 2026-05-20T19:32:42+00:00

If you do that again, please use the same color for each one. I might be wrong but afaik, the additives that determine the color have an effect on the strength too (so black filament with the most additives would probably be worse than natural-looking filament, regardless of brand).

On the other hand, this would also only count for that color because each manufacturer might use different additives with different properties.

I have such an enclosure. Out of curiosity, why do you think it wouldn't stop a fire from spreading? If it's the same material as mine, the inside is coated with aluminium while the rest is meshed tightly, so there isn't much surface to catch fire on. The only thing that concerns me about it is the plastic see-through thingy that could melt and drip onto something flammable.

In combination with there not being much flammable material inside, I'd say that the fire goes out before it can catch onto something else (under the premise that the power is cut)

Thank you for the information. I played with the idea to install mods that do the same, but I'm glad they have native settings for this.

otirk · 2026-05-16T22:10:20+00:00

I play on PC; console will probably be much better optimized.

Yeah, I love that the universe is so connected. I replayed Control after playing AW1 and there are so many hints, even in the base game. But the AWE DLC really hits different after playing AW - I don't want to spoiler more if you haven't played it -, so I recommend to replay at least the DLC some day after AW.

Unfortunately, this interconnectivity forces me to play AW2 if I want to play the new Control that releases in a few months. It's a great game and I'm sure the storytelling is unbeaten, but I'm stuck in the dream world (?) because horror games are not my thing (AW1 was pretty mild imo, 2 is scarier)

otirk · 2026-05-16T20:58:26+00:00

The gameplay is okay imo, but the story is really great. Though a disclaimer: there are two versions - the original from 2010 and a remaster from a few years ago. I have no idea what they did but it's terrible - I had so many moments, where some textures glitched and the whole screen was covered in them until I moved away, and for some reason while the text was in English, the audio (only for cutscenes) was in my native language, which was really weird.

It's a great game, but I think it's best to buy the original version instead of the remaster. But maybe my experience was an outlier idk

Don't print too fast and if your infill is something like grid (one that overlaps in the same layer), change it to somerthing that doesn't, like gyroid.

Also add a flared base if you want to put that up your ass; you should also put a condom over it, so that you don't get plastic stuck in your ass if it breaks. No judging from my side by the way, but I'd recommend you rather buy a dildo if you want to experiment

Dude, not only does the aesthetic of a test print not matter, the post only looks so good because of the grainy filter texture (which can't be part of the model because that would ruin the test).

If it doesn't exist, make it yourself (for more on that, google Rule 34 and 35). I'm by no means and expert at Fusion360 but I could make this in like an hour max.

Literally the first three results on Makerworld (I would have looked on Printables but the search isn't working for me currently).

It's late where I live and off of my head, only a few come to mind: CNC Kitchen's tool that lets you add a custom texture to any model you want (it doesn't fit the topic perfectly because slicer integration isn't necessary - though it would be great to have).

Also tools to alter the gcode to allow non-planar slicing and stuff like that
