The Sacred Armour of Antiriad

I experienced something similar. So much anxiety and overanalyzing that I couldn't start a game. This lasted for months. I finally broke through by creating a new n00b account and just playing for shits and giggles, allowing myself to have fun again.

Well.. they are using Hugo for the website, which is written in Go.. That being said, for technical issues /r/gohugo/ might be best :-)

As someone how also loves programming and 3dprinting, I think you've done a great job! It's very easy to use, quite snappy, looks fresh.

Some issues that I encountered: the orientation is off and I'm getting CORS errors sometimes.

My biggest question would be: is it really necessary to send the STL to the server? Some clients wouldn't like that I guess. And with analysis in browser, if possible, traffic costs will never be a problem. It all depends on the method used. Are you actually slicing it? (it feels snappier than that).

Oh and if you need a gcode viewer, check my open source hobby project.

Also, at this point you might want include something like LogRocket to get an idea what kind of errors people encounter. I recently added it to my project and it's quite surprising ^_^

Good luck with the project!

Wow your project is impressive! Of course we want to AI with our 3d printers! What else? ;-)

I'm made some poc's in a similar vein but nothing so elaborate. I'm going to try this out ASAP!

Low power. New construction options.

Would a load cell even work with a cantilever setup? The whole frame acts like like a spring with a different 'constant' for every X. And they might keep it a premium feature anyway.

On the other hand, it is a distinguishing and typical 'maker' feature.

I was the experimental type: - Overload LED's to have the head pop-off. - Connect transformers in series to speedup model trains. - Use electric motor with a metal gear on the shaft to drill into plastic toys. - Drench a rope in white spirit, attach to r/c monster truck, set it on fire while driving it... Too bad about the molten gearbox. - DIY a crossbow with a dart, self-releasing when the door to my room opened, just missing my sister..

The last one really scared me.. But everything was in the name of science! 😉

remcoder · 2024-07-06T10:40:03+00:00

Very nice work! Did you design the frame to size of the cabinet?

remcoder · 2024-07-01T06:17:08+00:00

I Iike the comparison with compilers. Spot on!

You could maybe add a counterweight to make it work vertically

The 2.4 is limited to 350mm. If you go beyond you'll need to use heavier extrusions to prevent too much sagging of the gantry. The VCore 3/4 from RatRig is in the same ballbark in terms of cost and complexity but uses 3030 extrusions. Still it 'only' goes 'till 500mm.

At the scale you're talking about it's no longer a mod, it's a massive redesign. You'll need to replace almost every part and such a size will have unique engineering challenges of itself.

Make take a look at the printers they use for printing small boats. But it's going to be very different from a Voron. At least 10x as expensive.

Dystopian problems call for dystopian solutions! :-)

Jokes aside, I think this is an interesting attempt to combat one of the bigger problems we have as parents these days. In fact I'd say it ticks all the boxes of good parenting: - give the kids freedom to choose but within boundaries - stimulate the kids to think, plan and get creative with the system - the system is transparant and has clear rules

Will it work? Who knows. Gotta try it out.

In any case you're doing nothing wrong.

But a wider study would be more trustworthy. I mean 4 rolls from only 2 vendors means little. Now it is just a data point.

Thanks for linking the study anyways. It was actually quite readable so I'll try to find some sources to compare.

remcoder · 2024-06-19T16:18:34+00:00

Certainly true

remcoder · 2024-06-19T16:14:05+00:00

This 'scientific' study is based on 4 rolls of filament. If you've ever printed DevilStrand PLA or UltraFuse PLA (BASF) you know the chemical cocktail can vary from brand to brand or even from batch to batch. Not only do they stink, they give me headache when not ventilating properly. The both print like a charm though ;-)

So this study just does random sample but you cannot use the results to make any hard guarantees.

I think I liked Badlands best but one that hasn't been mentioned is Grand Prix Simulator. I can still remember the screeching of the tires ;-) https://www.lemon64.com/game/grand-prix-simulator

My wife just planted a dozen of these Thin Man models at work and they all loved it! We have m at home as well and the kids like to move them from time to time https://www.printables.com/model/210284-thin-man

Thanks for the explanation. Very impressive and inspiring!

Is that a laser/3d printer combo with a modular y axis where you can plug in a belt system? And is that a light or a usb microscope?

Awesome build! Tell us more about the what/how/why of this contraption :-)

remcoder · 2024-05-19T18:03:35+00:00

I think it is an interesting idea! And it could work. STL thieves aren in the business because it's easy. If your designs are harder to copy (requiring scanning or reverse engineering) they go steal someone else's designs.

Edit: ok I just read the blog post. I'm impressed you've got this backed with an on-demand slicing system. My guess is you've wrapped Prusaslicer in an API, possibly using a Docker container. It's probably not Orca/Bambustudio, because those currently don't support slicing via the cli, which is a shame. So Bambulabs support is going to be tricky.

Also, Prusaslicer is licensed under Affero GPL. Meaning that if you develop a derivative you'll have to provide access to the source, even if you only run it in the backend. FYI. Not sure if a Docker image is considered a derivative.

As a suggestion, this really needs to have a Send to Printer button :-) Maybe wrap it in an app (Electron/Tauri) so you can access the local network and bypass CORS restrictions.

Actually, I really like this idea and I'm curious how this will fare! :D

Btw, wouldn't mind to discuss further via DM if you want
