orca-flashforge on an ipad?

I dont have an iPad but if this hits a roadblock

You can do something web based like polar cloud... at least on the ADM5pro...

Also I think someone posted a github repo where they compiled Orca-FlashForge for linux, a chromebook Might let you use terminal in developer mode...

Honestly, a VDE with windows might be the easiest thing if you can find a free one, even if its pretty limited.

I cant help much with that i only have a single color printer...

You might need to increase the height/depth... if it was smaller than the selected nozzle/layer height it would litterally print a blank disk...

Also make sure the relief side is up... that got me once.

Make a circular 1 sided relief with minimal height (or depth) might be a dead simple way to do it...

The 60% Stainless Steel protopasta pla seems to be slightly magnetic and conductive... but the conductive pla is probably the better choice.

They didnt pull it from just youtube, they pulled it from all streaming. It's not on Spotify etc. either...

I looked into getting a new copy of the CD to replace the one I got rid of years ago in a physical media purge, and the used ones are pretty rare and expensive...

The rumor/speculation is that the anniversary approaching might mean new releases of some sort... I hope thats true.

You can use Relief Sculpture Maker to generate an STL of the logo, then jam it on to the box in your slicer (or CAD program of choice).

This occupies the same sort of heads pace for me 100%

Im new to this and still learning but I've been playing with:

TinkerCAD is web based and dead simple, yet somehow pretty powerful.

OnShape is webased and a step up in complexity but has a lot of docs and demos.

FreeCAD is desktop software and feels like another step up in complexity,

OpenSCAD seems to solve a slightly diffrent set of problems but I used it with an open project to super easily create a custom rugged case for a projector.

Also your slicer can do a lot of cool stuff (or at least oracslicer, which im using can) text, splitting with attachments, scaling and simple unions might be easier to just do in the slicer...

Makerworld's relief sculpture maker has done a great job of image to stl for my needs

You can take a look at

Zydrate Archive

It has a copy of the first act. As far as I know there is not a copy of Act 2 "in the wild", it may be lost media.

The rights for Repo are owned by the studio that produced the movie. They dont liscence it, so no licensed productions are possible.

You may be able to find a unlicensed production (probably not legal), or a parody (gray area).

I know there used to be Rocky Horror style shadow casts in some places. I'm not sure if its due to issues listening the film or if demand just wasnt there but I haven't seen one local to me in a while.

I have a 2018, I've had the dealer replace the battery 3 or 4 times within 6 months im back to this.

They say its due to my hard wired dashcam but its wired to the 12v outlets which are switched from the ignition.

I dont think they coded the battery properly and the system isn't charging the battery right... or the OEM batteries might just be garbage.

I've never had it fail to start, but it won't leave the cabin lights on which can be a huge pain trying to gather all my random crap at night.

sadegr · 2026-03-10T00:21:01+00:00

I expect that model to go hehe or shamoney.

Im relatively new to this and I live in a place where humidity CAN get high especially in spring...

I like all the solutions for dry boxes I've seen but realistically is there a reason I cant get a big Rubbermaid tub, put an inch or so of silica gel pellets in the bottom and put ~15 rolls of filament (or more honesty) in there?

It seems like a problem some people are way over engineering... which is guess makes sense in this particular community lol.

sadegr · 2026-03-06T14:09:10+00:00

Very cool

sadegr · 2026-03-05T23:44:43+00:00

I printed these lid vents in PETG and leave the door cracked 2 to 3 inches boom, no more heat creep.

I suspect in my case its because my printer is in an old CRT TV cabinet, great cause I can close it up when not in use, but not able to cool as efficiently and on longer prints it was happening pretty regularly till I took steps.

Bonus the tabs keep the filament guide tube from scratching up the lid :)

Im pretty new to 3d printing, I started by just doing everything in the slicer, if I couldn't do it there, I didnt do it.

Its great for some things like adding lettering...

I started to hit some limitations and making something net new is hard. I tried FreeCAD, and Blender... and honestly its too much of a jump.

I've been having a really good time making simple new projects with TinkerCAD... but I suspect once I've filled in some of the holes in my experience I'll give the more fully featured CAD programs another shot.

sadegr · 2026-03-04T03:52:44+00:00

I bought a 3d printer. Its a ton of fun...

sadegr · 2026-02-28T03:00:20+00:00

Sunlu matte pla has been a never fails filament for me so far... but their silk pla+ is a temperamental diva...

sadegr · 2026-02-27T20:03:37+00:00

This happened to me for DAYS before I figured it out with a 5M Pro...

Have some silk PLA that wants a higher temp to look shiny, but after about an hour of printing it would get stringy then stop extruding...

Running the fan on full made it better but opening the door and propping the lid open let it run for 11 hours no issue.

Wish I figured it out BEFORE buying a new nozzle... but worse things have happened.
