m4xie,

Getting back into 3D printing is doing wonders for my depression.

I’m designing a tabletop war game.

Colour_me_triggered,

I’m pretty sure the cure for male loneliness is HRT

dipshit,

Why?

Colour_me_triggered,

Because then it’s female loneliness…

dipshit,

Ron Desantis hates this one weird trick!

RobotToaster,

I assumed you meant TRT.

Strawberry,

169% effective

peanutdust,

cant be lonely if you suicide i guess

Colour_me_triggered,

:(

peanutdust,

It makes me sad too that the people who embrace diversity force the duopoly of strict man and woman to the point of people feeling they need hormones or to change their sex bc they are being made to feel inadequate for who they are.

Smoogs,

Is…to print sex dolls? Is that the goal? Building the girlfriend?

Agent641,

Nah, you dont need to print the whole woman.

dipshit,

fucking microplastics

RobotToaster,

And macroplastics

dipshit,

sounds good!

No, there is no goal only you’ll be so busy calibrating and optimizing and upgrading the printer you won’t have time to be lonely.

There is only printer.

sheogorath,

Already a reality here www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2iaMCmOrh4

gamer,

We already have the technology for AI waifus. I bet we’ll be able to print AI body pillows before the end of next year.

nothacking,

I just got a huge CNC, will that work?

Depends on the soft jaw chuck

Hazdaz,

Depends on the number of axis.

ezures,

anything below 7 doesn’t count

Hazdaz,

We got a baller over here!

Transcriptionist,

An Opinion article by Michelle Cottle reading “Is the Cure to Male Loneliness Buying A Huge 3D Printer?”

Below is a photo of a man using an Extreme 3000 Pro 3D printer with a drawing of a crying man standing to the side and watching him.

Prove you are a human

dipshit,

I am a human.

oatscoop,

I am a human, and I can verify this user is also a human.

Just last meal time we enjoyed stuffing foodstuffs into our primary face holes to acquire energy. Afterwards we used said face holes to communicate inanities to each other. We then ingested ethanol to impair our brain function and attempted to create more humans by mashing our ridiculous meat bodies together.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Checks out.

cantstopthesignal,

3d printers are the new classic car that needs a little bit of work.

CmdrShepard,

Ugh, I have both and now I question what that means about me.

AngryCommieKender,

If you have one of the consumer metal printers and a consumer plastic printer, it means you can print your own car parts from aluminum, iron, or lower carbon steel pellets, and all the trim with the plastic printer.

Congratulations, you have a body shop, and an example car.

Getting ahold of the original specifications becomes the biggest challenge at that point, so that you can manufacture the parts within tolerance.

cantstopthesignal,

How does it get to the right temperatures??

AngryCommieKender,

What? The printer? They use metal pellets and AFAIK, you program the printer to heat an induction coil to melt the pellets.

cantstopthesignal,

Yes. Very cool. Thanks for the explanation.

player2,

slaps roofThis baby has been going since the early '20s. We’ve been through a lot together, almost every part has been replaced, and it’s still not reliable!

Hazdaz,

Why not both!? I’ve used one to make parts for the other.

Thrawne,

I have been making parts for my FIL’s 61 Ranchero. I have made almost every gasket, the heating couplers, and dash knobs.

Hazdaz,

I’ve made a few logos. One of them I used to make a stamping die that deformed some sheet metal. Worked shockingly well.

I’ve also made a simple phone mount and a lens for the glovebox. My ultimate plan is to make the housing for new headlights, but lack of time and wanting to scan rather than measure the sheetmetal opening has slowed me down on that project.

c10l,

How do you use a car to make parts for a printer?

Hazdaz,

I’ll tell you what, using that points distributor on my Lulzbot has sped up printing considerably! Unfortunately the print nozzle connected to the 401 nailhead sure makes the Buick hard to start.

CADmonkey,

I have a 3D printer, and a Suzuki Samurai. More than a few parts for the 35 year old Suzuki have been printed by me.

My AI girlfriend says she is in there waiting to get out

Uh, question. What if you don't have a 3D printer, but need something 3D printed? I've asked around, and there are no 3D printers available in this area. Is there an online fabrication service you can use? I want to get a higher profile D-pad for my Switch Lite, to replace the crappy one Nintendo put in there by default. Unfortunately, there's limited size tolerance, and it seems that specific equipment is required.

joby,

Reddit had a community called something like 3dprintmything where you could post what you were looking for and get bids from folks who could get it to you. I dunno if we have anything like that here.

pipe01,

JLCPCB has a 3d printing service

wildbus8979,

Local libraries often have 3D printers now a days

ArugulaZ,
@ArugulaZ@kbin.social avatar

Mine don't. :P I've asked around.

evidences,

Of you have a model file there’s services online, someone else jlpcb and I’m pretty sure shape ways is still a thing. You usually can fine printing services on eBay too.

CmdrShepard,

I’ve bought some STLs from Gambody.com and they offer a print service along with them.

My library does prints for almost free

stealth_cookies,

Stratasys, Protolabs, Shapeways, Hubs, etc. Tons of options out there. Search 3D printing and your closest city and I’m sure there will be something.

HootinNHollerin,
@HootinNHollerin@sh.itjust.works avatar

Search 3D print service bureau or prototype shop. There’s a ton that’ll ship. Which country?

noughtnaut,

I had this exact question last week. Found a UK based hub service with providers in many countries. Search for Treatstock and see if you find it useful.

Ps. I’m not affiliated, not an ad bot, etc.

filcuk,

I know of world.prusa3d.comAnyone can join and offer to print, support, recycle, just show off.

Waldemar_Firehammer,

Check your local library.

marcos,

It’s the cause too. Unless you find a hackerspace.

Tash,
@Tash@lemmy.world avatar

No!.. but please continue! 🤔

Somebody call Anthony Michael Hall, it’s time to Weird Science our way to mental health!

Just_Pizza_Crust,

Fuck it 🤷🏻‍♀️ my uncle dropped 8k on a 3D printer post-divorce, and if working on a lil art and engineering makes him feel better I can support that.
