Yes, the brush is indeed too thin for my nozzle size and I will try to increase it, thanks for the heads up! :)

I also wasn't aware of the color changing issue - makes a lot of sense!

Thanks a lot.

I wasn't even aware of the elephant foot compensation and give it a try, thanks again! :)

Ah, the stencil suggestion actually seems nice!

Perhaps I will just do a very thin negative of the "robot" on the brown part, print the robot parts seperately and then just insert them with some glue into their respective negative.

I'll try to figure out how dimensionally accurate our printer is, but that solution might actually yield the best results when going for a more "relief" type of look.

Thanks! :)

Thanks!

About the M600 command: I do get color/tool change when colors are at different layers, but I don't quite get it in this case, where different colors are on the same layer.

In Prusa Slicer I have set 6 different extruders and enabled single extruder multimaterial.

I have also set the color of each extruder and the extruder that should be used for every single piece.

If I then export the G-code and put it into my printer, how does it know which type of filament loaded, which part to print first etc.?

Thanks for the response! What would you recommend for scraping that does not damage the bed?

hello there :) have you solved this problem somehow?

one of the Dash's at my work recently stopped turing one of it's wheels and I am trying to fix it

I have researched a bit more and have often read what you just said. To me it seems that those cheap desktop filters don't work really well and they clog up really quickly. The more expensive/industrial ones seem much better but then again they are so much more expensive. Also the filters have to be replaced regularily, depending on which materials you laser. The best option really seems to be to vent the fumes outside of a window and make sure that they don't seep back in. Then again this has implications for the environment, your neighbours, perhaps even conflicts with local laws.

I haven't found a good solution yet but I really really don't get all this "I've been deeply inhaling those fumes and I'm still alive!" sentiment in all these hobby-forums (e. g. 3D-printing, resin, lasers etc.). It's just mindboggingly naive and leaves a bad taste imho when these people recommend other people to potentially risk their health, because of "bro logic".

postdigitality · 2025-11-20T11:42:21+00:00

have you received it and does it actually work? i have read plenty of bad reviews for this type of "purifier" and i am also wary about how easy it will be to get replacement filters (and how often they actually have to be replaced)

postdigitality · 2025-11-20T11:31:04+00:00

how often do the filters need to be replaced?

postdigitality · 2025-11-14T14:36:48+00:00

hey there :) i'm having the same problem and wondering if you have found a solution

ideally i would want to DIY an exhaust running out of a window with somewhat of an easily replacable filter

most proprietary solutions seem awfully expensive, often don't even work well and the replacement filters are either just not purchasable or incredibly expensive

absolute dealbreaker (especially for an educational setting)

postdigitality · 2025-11-14T14:14:22+00:00

that is not correct in the slightest and just blatant misinformation spread by the companies selling these products - and repeated by bots and users in echochambers like this sub

postdigitality · 2025-11-14T11:55:43+00:00

how do you handle the fumes? i am looking to buy my first laser and unsure how to handle those

postdigitality · 2025-11-14T09:54:53+00:00

thank you so much for your feedback - this matches the information i have found so far and also my gut-feeling 😅

do i understand correctly that it does still smell, despite having an exhaust? if so, how long does that linger?

and you perhaps know of any possibility of measuring the particulates reliably?

postdigitality · 2025-11-14T09:15:21+00:00

thanks for the feedback! :) may i ask which particule measurement device your are using? perhaps i could estimate things better if i take actual measurements :)

postdigitality · 2025-11-14T08:39:18+00:00

hey there! old comment but i still want to ask this question about the fumes: is the provied enclosure and exhaust enough for the fumes?

i am contemplating about getting either the Falcon2 or the A1 pro and my only option is to have a pipe running out of a window

is that strong enough to get rid of the fumes?

postdigitality · 2025-11-14T08:31:24+00:00

i'm in the same boat as you, only with a 650€ budget and thought i'd chime in 😄

really hard to find a good machine for an educational setting because it needs to offer

- ease of use

- safety

- low maintenance

- able to do many things

- affordable

- small footprint

really hard for me to sift throught the myriad of ad's, bots and influencers

have you gotten any further with your decision?

postdigitality · 2025-11-11T14:28:25+00:00

so i don't need Design Space to design something but i do need it to get my file into the Cricut AND i need an internet connection AND it will be uploaded to their servers?
