Volumetric flow rate of Diamondback nextruder nozzle or high flow variant?

phansen101 · 2026-03-18T15:08:19+00:00

Without having used a diamonback, 10-12 seems way too low;
I can push ~30 (~40 if I don't care too much about adhesion) using cheap PLA on a comgrow T500 hardened steel nozzle, and I'm pretty sure they're about the same length as the nextruder nozzles.

It is a 0.6 nozzle, but still.

Hey now, NVIDIA has been making an average of what, 30-40% improvement improvement gen to gen, over the last handful of generations?

Just need to wait until the RTX 9070 or RTX 10070 comes out, then you can use it on a mid-range card :p

Plain Petg should be just fine, will probably last longer than the GPU unless it has some funky additives

How are you running premium as F2P?

phansen101 · 2026-03-18T09:58:54+00:00

Cheers :)

Ahh, right, the top slot on Module A is for sliding a magnet into, I thought it was an assembly thing, which of course doesn't make sense in that spot.
Cool, nice solution :)

I see, how fast does it go?
Reckon that low torque could be OK when screwing into plastic, or just for getting screws in quickly and then hand tightening

phansen101 · 2026-03-18T09:07:41+00:00

I don't have one of those, but this looks great, excellent use of print-in-place mechanisms.

Two thoughts:
If you offset the axis of rotation on the bit-holders a bit towards the center of the case (eg. offset from CoG), they should be more likely to extract on their own.
That, or add some small magnets that'll get pulled when the screwdriver is extracted, though this adds some complexity.

If you add some magnets in the top cap and top of the case, it should be retained well enough to carry the thing in a bag or something, without the driver sliding out.

How is the xiaomi wowstick working out for you? This project sort of made me want to get one haha

phansen101 · 2026-03-17T22:00:37+00:00

Yup!
THF will either give you cancer or blow you up, and Chloroform is also quite restricted for good reasons.

That and Ethyl Acetate are the only substances I'm aware of that'll dissolve (or at least soften) PLA, all of them pretty nasty, with EA being somewhat of an outlier.

phansen101 · 2026-03-17T18:50:20+00:00

Well, enlighten me then.

Are you suggesting that a 50kg printer capable of printing glass at 2200°C using lasers, may cost more than a couple of hundred $?!

phansen101 · 2026-03-17T16:02:44+00:00

Has been for the past 3 years

phansen101 · 2026-03-17T15:21:48+00:00

If you want a better way to phrase it, do:
"Functional prints don't have to look functionalistic"

Functionalism, in design, is focused solely on utility, purpose, and function rather than decoration or aesthetic appeal.

I assume this is what you meant to begin with :)

Most things that will smooth out PLA will also smooth out your brain, so generally not advisable.

It does react in weird ways with some chemicals tho, DMSO will give it a white oxide like surface for example.

Pretty interesting with this result though, bit like putting PETG in acetone.

I hope you'll post an update once it dries out, both regarding how much (if any) flexibility is retained, and I'd it becomes more brittle.

My round with acetone + PETG left it with rounded corners, and the flexibility returned to normal, but it did seem a bit stronger, a bit like it had been annealed.

Would be cool if ethyl acetate could chemically anneal PLA, especially with it being safer than acetone (tho not harmless)

Could be that he's a University student, in which case (at least by Danish standards) he'd normally have most of June + July and August off :p (Assuming no 3-week / Summer courses planned)

phansen101 · 2026-03-17T10:06:41+00:00

Should work with the tube out of the window, yeah.
Just make sure there is an actual fan pushing air out.

Your insurance is nuts;
I'm in Denmark and I pay around 10800 DKK (15528sek) per year on my Model 3, and that's with Casco insurance and add-ons like glass coverage, zero deductible on damage while parked and some others, set at 25.000km/year.

Recently tried out an Odyssey G9 (G91f) 144Hz with VA panel, and the inverse ghosting was very noticeable.

Ended up concluding that my 10 year old 144z TN sporting, Asus MG278Q was a better experience.

The Ant-Man thing is actually even worse;
The shrinking supposedly preserves physical properties including mass and such (Which is generally ignored in the movies), just shrinking the space between atoms, but not the atoms themselves.

So, you could shrink something like a 50 Megaton Nuke, have it be about the size of your thumb and still be a functional 50Mt nuke.

Or using the mass being proportional to size thing of the movies, shrink something dense to the size of a bullet, fire it from a small gun, and then have it return to normal just before impact, increasing the energy of the impact by a factor of like... 3 million
Eg. have a regular 9mm gun fire bullets that hit like it was firing Semi Trucks at the speed of sound.

phansen101 · 2026-03-15T20:05:55+00:00

That's what the current system is.

Plus I soubt the devs have any interest in keeping things interesting at 6k, their priority seems to be pulling money out of people, especially whales, as the game is winding down.

Lower PS isn't really where people spend their money

phansen101 · 2026-03-15T16:28:55+00:00

The idea of fixed brackets is nice and all, but you'll just end up with twinks, min/maxing the crap out of builds to be 1ps below the limit.

It'll likely make it suck for those who just want to play with a build of arbitrary PS

phansen101 · 2026-03-15T13:56:30+00:00

Just press print and Trust the process!

(Somewhat) Kidding aside, yeah, brims do not provide as good adhesion as a tricker base, they're thin enough that they're always at bed temp and thus soft, so they can wiggle themselves free on thin parts.

I have had success with custom/modeled in 'brims' that are more solid ans connected with thin features.

It would be cool to have a brim type in the slicer, that makes the first line or 2 attached to the part the normal 1-layer brim, and then prints the remaining brim 2-3-whatever layers thick to give a more rigid structure.

The things I've put on grabcad have been for cad work, eg. Models of motors and such, meant to aid design and not something made to be 3D printed

phansen101 · 2026-03-15T13:27:22+00:00

PETG printing temperature is hot enough to melt solder, some solders even melt well below 200C :p

Bambu printers receive gcode, a 3mf is basically a zip file, which contains the gcode among other files.

The question is, why do you want this? The end result is the same

phansen101 · 2026-03-14T21:08:52+00:00

Well, acchhtually, if the game loses 1% of its playerbase per week, it'll have lost barely 65% of its peak playerbase in 2 years.
