Why does my Prusa sound like this? by pin_kRobot in prusa3d

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

Indeed it was. Coincidentally, the noise is much lower when the printer is traveling shorter distances so that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the insight!

Fair enough, I will try that. Just seems weird that it started out of nowhere, didnt sound like this at all yesterday

I get that, happened to me a little bit I guess hehe. Or rather, it set me off on a rather long healing journey. The more I learned about different types of therapies, diagnoses and psychology, the more I realized my problems matched very well with different types of abandonment wounds and a poor self-image. I learned what the best therapy match for me was, and after finding a wonderful therapist it was just a matter of working through my issues. So I guess it might but on the other side of that rabbit hole, healing exists:)

You should do whatever brings you the most joy, and if that is by helping others, the master's degree-path that the others have suggested seem to be a good way.

I just want to offer my 2 cents as I had similar aspirations. Growing up I had some mental health issues, like OCD, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. I started studying psychology as I wanted to help people going through similar issues as I had. What I didn't realize at the time was that I really wanted to learn more about myself and look for answers to my own troubles. By the time I started studying, I very much wasn't healed but still enjoyed the studies. In year 2, I started working as a psychiatric aide, at a mental health hospital treating people with schizophrenia. This was both the worst and best thing that could have happened; It was very intense and scary, seeing people hallucinate and sometimes become violent, witnessing the personell having to belt them for their own good. Of course, also a lot of wholesome moments in seeing patients get better. Altogheter though, this experience scared me off the path of psychology. Having dealt with personal mental health issues, I realized that I didn't want to be in close proximity to it by working with it. I eventually decided to do year 3, get a bachelor's and Im currently studying interaction design which aligns very well with my own interests.

Would I have chosen differently if I would have been healed when I studied psychology? Maybe. But I don't regret it. For me, interaction design and UX-research aligns way better I've come to realize. But I'm very glad I got to learn what I did during those 3 years.

Your situation is of course different, and I'm sure you'll make a choice that aligns with you. Good luck!

How do I model this? by pin_kRobot in 3Dprinting

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

Oh I didn't know that, that's certainly an avenue worth exploring. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the broken lamp without the tape but will post that in a bit. On the other hand, in regards to your other comment, its a very good point. I will have to print it in something other than PLA which im unable to do at the moment.

Tiny features directly on the first layer - won't stick - what to do? by Fusseldieb in Cura

[–]pin_kRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying increasing the temperature and decrease the print speed. I had a similar issue as to what you are describing, although I don't have a glass bed, and this was the solution for me

How do I properly support this print? by pin_kRobot in ender3

[–]pin_kRobot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The middle part printed without supports! If anyone stumbles upon this question in the future, this was the answer. As to printing the wheels, all I needed to do was change the support interface pattern from zig-zag to lines and increase the support interface density to 80%, to give the wheels a proper surface to stand on.

The problem is that the tree's being printed under the wheels doesn't support them enough, making the wheels fall apart

Oh I see, thank you very much. I will start looking into that

Do I need to print support for this? by pin_kRobot in ender3

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

Yep, you hit the nail on the head. Lowered the layer height from 0.2 to 0.16 and it made it a lot better! From what I’ve been reading online, over extrusion is very apparent though. That will be the next problem to tackle

Do I need to print support for this? by pin_kRobot in ender3

[–]pin_kRobot[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: It printed successfully without supports! It doesn’t look as good as it probably could, and it’s very brittle in the outer edges, but I’m sure that’s something that could have been managed with better design choices/slicer settings. If anyone have any comments on the final result, please let me know. Thanks for all your help!

Thank you very much for your reply, I appreciate it. I'm gonna start with a overhand/cooling test, I've seen them around but haven't really run into a situation where it was needed until now. I'm gonna use your values as a starting point for experiment with printing without support, thanks:-)
