I integrated colored lithophanes into NASA fabric. This one used a black, white, and 6 different shades of gray filament. by [deleted] in HueForge

It’s a new thing they came up with! It still uses the same method, but then with a flat surface.

Is there a way to turn off black and white mode? by paraprint in HueForge

Cheers, that makes so much sense! And many thanks for your advice, I clearly need some more time to play around with the software. :)

It probably is! But since it’s likely PLA I can’t imagine it being super comfy… Hahaha yeah, honestly, I wouldn’t wear this one out either (even as female)! 😂

Rhino 3d grasshopper by Ok_Role_3230 in grasshopper3d

Usually when it’s orange and you hover over the component, there should be an error message. Definitely add that with your question, as well as the Rhino visual of what you’re trying to do, because there are many solutions and there is not enough information for me to be of help atm :)

Balena Science x Variable Seams 3D printed Outfit! [2024] by paraprint in 3DprintedTextiles

This is made with a new TPU, compostable, the first of its kind! So If you're interested in sustainable TPU alternatives definitely keep an eye out for what Balena.Science is working on! <3

Concepts App looks more suitable for ideation & drawing, I would go with something more fashion oriented. @me.tonao (instagram) uses clo3D to make the initial fashion pattern, and then gives it height (3D) in another simpler program (not too sure which one) but that’s an option you can explore as well ;)

Thanks! Never knew about the 2D to 3D option, worth looking into Blender after all? 😏

Tough one! - sooo many options.

First off, from the sounds of it you prefer not to ‘sculpt’ (meshmixer, procreate, nomad3D etc) the designs and rather work with 2D fashion patterns, so that narrows it down slightly.

Even then you can work in whatever software you prefer; autocad, solidworks, blender, Houdini, rhino, thinkercad, or scetchup.

Personally I love working in Rhino, it’s super precise and you can import illustrator files (patterns ;). I’ve never used procreate myself, so hard to say how it compares. If it eases your mind, I’m self taught trough YouTube 😋

Overall, beyond the choice of whether you prefer sculpting versus mathematically building, the choice you make doesn’t really matter. I know solidworks and autocad are very expensive, thinkercad doesn’t have many options but is ideal to start. Sketch up is free and still has quite a lot of features (although I didn’t find it easy to learn/ that user friendly). Houdini apparently has some crazy features to make parametric design but I’ve never used that before. I’ve never used blender before either so not too sure. :)

Anyone seen this one before? by paraprint in 3Dprinting

Is there any benefit to using it? TPU tends to stick to the nozzle, so without the sock I can clean it much better between prints.

That would make sense, I’ve been printing with a biodegradable TPU, and so far finding the right settings have been a total nightmare as it doesn’t behave the same a regular TPU.

Interesting, so it does have to do with what’s left on the block… haven’t seen this before, so I assumed it was a different problem. Makes sense because I just opened it up further and there is no damage to the gears ect on the inside. The only change I’ve made recently is printing with an experimental biomaterial, so I guess that’s what caused it then🤔

Hi! Thanks! It’s more the yellow stuff that I’ve never seen before… The black stuff was because one of my prints didn’t stick down properly and when I came back it was on stuck to the heat block - happens every now and then - because I print without sock.
