3dprinting

I have been trying to print a print-in-place planetary gear without any luck. Today I found out about a setting that finally got it to print. Cura’s slicing tolerance -> exclusive uses the largest part of each layer to calculate the slice which can help when trying to print something with tighter tolerances. Unfortunately, the...

Gina had posted previously ( octoprint.org/…/we-need-to-talk-about-funding/ ) that she needed more support or she was going to have to stop maintaining Octoprint and get a full time job. Apparently everyone came thru!...

I have a Nevermore filter with 24v fans, would it be fine to connect them to the parts that I have circled on my Prusa MK4?...

It’s a magnet-drive linear motor printer. Nothing like it on the market. I’m interested to see if this goes anywhere.

I’m looking to upgrade my Ender 3 Max Neo....

They always make really good shadowboxes.

Completed my Mandalorian costume just in time for Halloween.

I’m considering pulling the trigger on an X1C but the waste is a huge turn-off. I know there are options for purging to infill or a sacrificial object, but last I heard there’s still a considerable amount of purge/prime. Can someone who’s played with the settings tell me honestly how much progress has been made in reducing...

I ran into this on one of the models for the Voron’s Clockwork 2 (specifically, this one )....

Hello fellow withprinters. Whats happening here? Stringing is not the problem, if i print string tests, they are good. Its only in holes, the walls wont stick. Any suggestions for a fix?...

These fins are supposed to stop at the rim, but one side just keeps going. Is this an error in the source file, or did I do something wrong?...

Not a scientific test and not from every angle but interesting still.

Just printed this plant pot and the quality is absolutely trash. It’s a large print (150mmx150mmx150mm) but printed using my normal settings. It’s solid wall - 4-5 perimeters thick. Sliced in Prusaslicer 2.6.1 and printed on an Ankermake M5. Any ideas?...

Hi everyone, I figured I have struggled with this enough over the past day and its time to consult the community. I’ve been running this same setup for about a month now with the only major change in that time being implementing the input shaping. Recently (last week) I have been unable to complete any prints because every...

In this episode, the hosts start with a PSA about backing up data and Stefan’s SSD failing. Later, Tom shares his plans for SMRRF and Stefan reveals his intention to be present at both Formnext and SMMRF in 2023. The conversation then shifts towards 3D-printed salmon meat, the Hangprinter project’s challenge to the ORNL...

Had this thing printed months ago, but I procrastinated and finally got it put together. Just needs paint now....

I am happy with the result. There is a black line accross the badge due to the head going through it, but I removed it by sanding it. Maybe I should play with the z-hop setting.

Holy crap, that’s a lot of work to get a roll of filament. That’s only economical if your time is worth nothing. Ugh.

Looking to maybe upgrade my kid’s creality cr6-se, so we can move into the more exotic materials....

Where do folks prefer to host their 3d models and designs? Do you use one site, or multiple?...

Hey there! As a 3D printer addict I do a lot of small parts in CAD to print and use around the house. Lately I’ve been exploring all sorts of CAD software since finding out there’s a more around than just Fusion360 and Onshape so I started exploring what’s out there and jotting down my impressions....

I made the “voronoi halloween pumpkin” off printables, thought it turned out nice:...
