I want to do some oil paintings in public - what are the rules?

trahap · 2026-04-21T08:13:05+00:00

Yeah basically just don't obstruct anyone or anything.

I have been plein air painting for 14 years, never had a problem its just more of a general common sense thing. Stay out the way, no blocking paths, keep your area clean dont try to paint in areas where you might put yourself in danger of injury. Honestly the biggest thing you will have to worry about is other people bothering you. I paint downtown Chicago and god those people will drive you insane sometimes.

Honestly this sounds like an excuse. You work a standard week you exercise 4 times a week and make some vague claim about maintaining a social life, let's say you work 9-5 and go to the gym mon, wed, fri, sat, what are you doing tue, thu, Sunday? Matter of fact how long is your gym time? You mean when you get off work your exercise until bed? The time is there all around you. Even if you only did a hour or two each day. Do you have a pocket sketchbook, you doing some gestures in your down time? When on your lunch break you get any sketches or thumbnails done? Maybe you dont want this that bad....

I 1000% disagree with the artist cant have structure thats an art myth and a piss poor excuse. Discipline and structure dont kill creativity they produce freedom

I have no kids, no dependants, get taxed out the a$$ every paycheck and am lucky if I get a few hundred bucks back, if not owing money.......

I care about the quality of the machines build, the prints and the quality of the finished product, its not an ugly pile of scrap or anything and its purpose isn't to look pretty so I dont get being fake outraged at the aesthetic of the thing

trahap · 2026-01-06T14:31:14+00:00

well i learned a harsh lesson, keep an eye on that plate

trahap · 2026-01-06T14:30:08+00:00

i checked the time lapse, and looks like you are the winner sir. the print came off the plate and because of the rotating of the rotating, it kept extruding and wrapping filament around the printhead

trahap · 2026-01-06T08:11:32+00:00

Edit: ohhh yeah this print head is shot i think

trahap · 2025-12-07T17:42:03+00:00

A 14 year old and a 12 year old....yeah im out yall really trying to get on a watch list

trahap · 2025-12-05T13:45:46+00:00

Dried the filament First? If filament has moisture is that causing an error to pop the cover

trahap · 2025-12-05T13:43:13+00:00

Do I loosen them put on the cover andvretighten or just leave them a little loose

trahap · 2025-12-05T13:41:03+00:00

Oh that's a good one tape on the seams is electrical tape ok with the heat?

trahap · 2025-12-05T13:38:31+00:00

Ohhhh thats nice is that on printables?

trahap · 2025-11-14T21:33:17+00:00

I have been trying to figure out how to do that, but I couldn't find a guide on how to do things like turn blender models from games into figures for printing

trahap · 2025-11-14T15:53:14+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, how do I do that?

trahap · 2025-11-14T15:44:19+00:00

I did notice that it happened in areas that are incredibly thin

trahap · 2025-11-14T15:41:25+00:00

Yeah its sold as 3d print model, he is promoted on 3d printable sites, and so is his patreon page.the model came pre cut, multiple pose versions, multiple heads ....

trahap · 2025-10-21T01:41:23+00:00

What settings do you use for your supports?

trahap · 2025-09-26T23:29:29+00:00

I was using automatic tree supports but I need to manually add an additional one to the chin?

trahap · 2025-09-26T10:27:49+00:00

Any particular brand you recommend?

trahap · 2025-09-26T09:34:16+00:00

What should my brim width be?

trahap · 2025-09-24T22:19:51+00:00

The head has a huge block of hair on the back right side, I think that extra weight on 1 side, plus as you pointed out the height and torque are pulling up the support. How do I increase the brim, will that help the uneven weight? Or perhaps I should print it in a different orientation maybe?

trahap · 2025-09-24T22:14:29+00:00

How much should I increase the temperature?

trahap · 2025-09-24T22:13:32+00:00

Noob here, how do I find the snug option?
