My boss got sick of me bringing in prints from home off my Bambu Lab printer and comparing them to our Enders so he said “Fuck it!” and ordered two Bambu Lab printers for the office. #3DPrinting

Huh. Filaments.ca is no more. I didn’t have the place where I buy my kn95 masks to acquire my preferred filament supplier.
#3dPrinting
I do wonder what will happen to their speciality filaments or if it’ll just become another filament reseller.

Update on Filaments.ca - Ecommerce Acquired by InkSmith
Dear Filaments.ca Community, We are thrilled to share that our team at InkSmith has acquired the Filaments.ca and Filabox.ca ecommerce stores. Situated in Kitchener, Ontario, we are eager to integrate these brands into our operations and revitalize their offerings to provide you with the best possible experience moving

Just designed a stackable truncated octahedron container, based around my fractal truncated octahedron sphere.

Students build low-cost cold spray metal 3D printer prototype
A team of Rice University students has developed a cold spray metal 3D printing device that relies on pressure and velocity rather than temperature to create a metal part. Their work could help expand the repertoire of metal additive manufacturing techniques, bringing down cost and enhancing the quality of making or repairing one-off complex metal parts.

I had an idea for a talk and I can't decide if it's awful or delightful.
Would you go to a talk at a tech conference entitled:
"Carly Rae Jepsen, #3DPrinting, and the future of #OpenSource"
(CRJ would not be played during said talk to preserve sanity)

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could print a basketball, they didn't stop to think whether they should print a basketball. #3dprinting

As always with 3D printing, it's important to get the 1st layer right for the success of the print. Printing a stack in beech wood this time. #3Dprint #3Dprinting #3Ddruck

Random thought: are the 58 “Winnie the Pooh” models accessible on the China version of Bambu’s “Maker World” site? #3DPrinting #Bambu #geopolitics

Should I pick up a *free* Stratsys 3D printer?
It’s 14 years old. I know it’s locked down, probably worn out and not as good as a modern sub-$500 resin printer.
But man, it was such an expensive, rare thing when new.

This is pretty cool! Making a Macintosh Studio

#3DPrinting is not only kinda expensive but it is also heavy. I just got to the part of realizing the printer with the spool is like 20 lbs. And this enclosure is going to be like another 15 lbs. and it is also the size of a small table. So now I have to find room for this beast. It's not a problem, just a consideration.

Testing out a new roll of #3dPrinting filament. PolyTerra “Army Blue”
It’s not advertised as matte but it sure looks like.
#FilamentReviews

Common, admit it: they look cute. 3D printed some beer crates for my AA and AAA batteries. 😆 #3Dprinting #thingiverse #Prusa

We're currently having the worst experience with Overture matte PLA at work. Warps like crazy, bad bed adhesion, inconsistent extrusion, etc.
Not recommended. 👎

Testing a 3D printed printing registration system for doing multicolor relief prints today…
#3Dprinting #printMaking #DIY

Anyone have an idea how to register the 'model/step' mime type (for #3dPrinting .step files) in :nixos: #NixOS? 'xdg-mime query filetype file.step' sees it as text/plain and :prusaslicer: #PrusaSlicer

First, I love this project and want to build it.
However, I'm going to go 'Old Man Yells at Cloud' on calling it open source and how the maker projects and #3Dprinting may be unintentionally damaging the general understanding of #OpenSource.
a) the model is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0…

It's cool how there is a kind of "grain" you get with these filament printers. Maybe this is a feature not a bug. #3DPrinting #WoodGrain #Woodworking

Needed to mount a patch panel outside of a rack and had some weird mounting constrains.
#3dPrinting to the rescue. Model tool 15 minutes in OpenSCAD, each bracket was less than 20 minutes to print.

This simple kind of thread has many advanges for #3dprinting:
· easy to model in many #CAD programs: just an off-center circle that's rotated while extruding
· easy to print: consistent, low overhangs everywhere, smooth surface without sharp edges
· prints well horizontally (with a b…

Working on a complaint latch for a cable organizer project. Printed in normal PLA and designed in #OpenSCAD. I need to adjust the parameters for size and thickness but the test works first-try.

3D printed filament sizes are the new pixels. I guess I'm going to have to scale this up to make the mortises and tenons work. #3DPrinting #ProductDesign #Prusa

Made an articulated arm for the #HoneycombStorageWall #Screwiverse to position our #3dPrinting webcam at the necessarily weird angle:

Working on a #3dPrinting project with 8x3mm neodymium magnets. I ordered a ton in late 2020 and got low this weekend, so I ordered more.
I’ve created models for the specific batch and before I used my last two old magnets, I decided to just measure one vs the new.
Pretty surprised to see such a big difference. My old ones were quite undersized (13%), the new ones definitely won’t fi…

Ok fine. The holes for the tenons didn't work so this is taped together. Tomorrow we will try making the whole thing larger. But the dimensions came out as predicted. #3DPrinting #Prusa #Fusion360

I don't trust many #3dPrinting YouTubers, but I do trust Igor.
He did a pretty comprehensive #Sovol SV08 review this morning. I'm still excited to get mine (ordered, no shipping info yet).
Does it look like Bambu-level plug and play? No. But I feel pretty comfortable fixing most of…

Okay I have to say having thumbnails for all #3dPrinting / #CAD files is an immense help and very satisfying, especially when drag'n'dropping files around or into :prusaslicer: #PrusaSlicer for exa…

Due to travel and things I hadn’t done any #3dPrinting for two weeks.
Anyone want to guess what I’m doing today?
(Aside from printing too fast and under extruding in the corners 😉)

It's really rough, but the cabinet structural members are starting to take shape. Interior cabinet space will allow a drawer unit with a 45x15 cm face. #3DPrinting #Solidworks #KnockdownFurniture

It’s a holiday here to day, so I’m going small scale production #3dPrinting on these parts. Back to back, multiple printers.
They’re only about 13g of filament so it’s great to use up the ends of spools.
Any guesses on their use?

Wow. That totally worked. I made a new prototype box with a different tongue/groove system and it works. It won't stay together, but I was able to bang out an idea in Fusion 360 pretty quick and this print only took 2.5 hr. This one is 8cm wide, 6cm deep, 4cm tall. #Fusion360 #3DPrinting

Clever z-wobble solution. I'd love to know how this tests out vs some of the other (more complicated) solutions.

It's happening. Taking a 3D model and visualizing inside a game engine. But also being able to produce a real world object. It's a crazy idea, but: it is possible. #3DPrinting #VR #AR

So.. I snagged an early bird #Sovol SV08.
It ticked enough of my #3dPrinting boxes. We’ll see how it goes!

Hey #3dPrinting folks!
I went to #FOSSY 2023 in Portland and it was a blast. They are currently accepting track pitches for 2024 (Aug 1-4).
I'd love to put together a track on Open Source and 3D: the track could have sessions on stuff like printer firmware, OSS CAD/modelling, slicers, m…

Starting to move up to full size parts. Parts so large that #PrusaSlicer needs to add a split in the middle. I think we're going to need a bigger boat. #3DPrinting #Furniture

Definitely hard to believe that this is done with #3dPrinting.
Thanks at @… for putting this on Printables!

And there it is. I had this wild idea on Monday, now I have a physical object. I learned Fusion 360 and 3D printing this week. Now I can make furniture. The front of this nightstand is a design made in Illustrator, and it locks into the drawer itself. If you want a different handle, there is a swapping system. The nightstand can be broken down into parts for shipping. Next stop: larger prototypes. #3DPrinting
