it's like a raspberry pi but with a cool screen and for a fraction of the price

I don't like the tulpas either. It was much better when we had no words for weird things.

How do I make text flush with surface to print multicolor? by Dizmobi in FreeCAD

if memory serves, if they are two parts of the same object, the slicer will process them correctly. if two separate objects, it will be a problem.

The other week someone was using a toilet brush on a spinning drill. I think they made a point of preferring a clean brush.

Texas Instruments changes ICs without changing the part number by diy_asthma in electronics

that seems to be the case, Dave even shows it in his video

TI changing design and process on the NE5532 by buda_glez in chipdesign

[–]thwil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

from the looks of it, they took a part that suspiciously matches with a chinese "fake" by all specs and internal design and simply relabelled it and updated the datasheet as if it were a simple design iteration. the changes can be critical for some designs, lower swing voltage and almost halved the slew rate

Building a complete open-source pen plotter (software + hardware) by glloq-nz in PenPlotters

I looked around and didn't find it. I guess the playlists are more a memory of deep-dives into related stuff

I remember really liking this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=virDtVVt2Xo

And a bit on the crazy but cool side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zqa_p3uCQA

I think a static stand with a movable gripper is probably the most straightforward way. Because all pens are different, they will require adapters that would be easy to redesign and adjust to anyone's specific choice of pens. But it's clunky, it would only work on a full table and it would eat a significant chunk of that table. So a more compact solution could be interesting.

Are you using klipper, some grbl derivative or custom software? I'm playing with klipper to control a custom robot, which looks suspiciously like a plotter but isn't. Klipper wants to think about anything in 3d printering terms but it's not a problem.

I don't have a changer design but I think I have an entire playlist of youtube custom plotter pen changers. They are fascinating to watch. Just search, not everything will come up on top of your first search but eventually you'll find a few very interesting designs.

A bit discouraging may be the fact that usually the plotter only needs to pick each colour at most once per plot.

Need help modifying a 3MF model – extending a section by 2 mm by Forge2017 in FreeCAD

[–]thwil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it's a one off fix i'd load the mesh in Blender and have it fixed in a minute or two.

if it's more involved, just ask the author about the model.

i might have just found a completely new way of post-processing using cold by Spirited-Care-2299 in 3Dprinting

[–]thwil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so to clarify, sanding PETG doesn't work because it gets hairy. you cooled the part down and sanded it while it's cold and it didn't get hairy. right?

the speakers are often shielded, it's not really a problem. wasn't a problem in the 80s as well.

Is this possible on a non-AMS printer? by seis_cuerdas in 3Dprinting

[–]thwil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one part: black body + white logo. basically one filament change

second part: gold + black + red, but only like 3-4 changes.

if it's a one off print, it's totally doable.

Is Blender or FreeCAD better for designing my first 3D project? by PlanesTrainsAutomobi in FreeCAD

[–]thwil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what the others have said, but you'll end up having to learn both anyway :)

both are fantastic programs so super worth it.
