Woke up at 5am and got an idea to fix a 3D print that didn't quite fit. Started the printer and it might be done in time for when I have to leave the house. No, I'm not a addicted to tech nerdery #3Dprint #3Dprinting

Holiday figurine printing is a-go! 🎅⚙️ Spending the evening 3D printing and relaxing before the big day.
Pull up a chair and join the stream!

Saw this video about a 3D printed halftone spiral line of a portrait in my stream and had to find out how to do... #copycat #3dprinting #svg

Light-triggered process lets 3D printers create custom glass structures without glue or high temperatures
Researchers have developed the first binder-free method for 3D printing glass, using light to trigger a chemical reaction that directly forms silica structures without the need for organic additives or extreme heat. This breakthrough makes glass printing faster, cleaner, and more precise, with the potential to revolutionize fields from optics to medicine by enabling custom, high-performance glass components that were previously impossible to manufacture.

It went in a completely different direction than I had imagined, but that's fine. The Viennese basket weave will have to wait; I'm going to weave another basket first.

3D printed spider looking sinister #3dprinting #october

Doing some more weaving with #openscad for another #3dprinting project of mine. Wha does it always look so much easier in the first place?

dehydrating the filament does make a difference for 3D printing. Much less stringing. I'm using my food dehydrator occasionally to dry filament that was sitting outside too long on the printer. ##3Dprint #3Dprinting

If you are into #3dPrinting and use resin printers (as opposed to the more well known FDM ones, using filament), you might be interested in this campaign trying to develop a #slicer application for resin printers:

PLA Carbon Fiber is really THE S-tier filament. Looks great, super rigid, doesn't take up moisture as much as PETG-CF, easy to print. Gonna make good use of the new #DiamondBack nozzle! #3DPrinting

I need these wheels in my life #lego #3dprinting https://youtu.be/_iNaEs9MEEw

I finished my Vienna canework pattern (Wiener Geflecht), its just a first PoC, maybe it needs some more refactoring before I might think about some round variation.

Do you ever do that thing where you find an STL that might work, but it's not quite right, so you load it up and make some edits, and it's not quite there, so you end up using it as a template to completely redesign your own version from scratch because... that's just what you do?
Me too.

Oh, right. Also, the giant 36" spider I finished #3dprinting in the nick of time, on the porch on some dead tomato plants from the garden. #halloween

Finally #3dprinting again. Had some hotend nozzle clogging and learned about different methods to overcome that. Turns out 'cold pull' is best. Now only 2.5 more hours to go. ;)

Update: decided to leave the giant spider on the porch. With the rain last night, it looks far scarier than it did 2 nights ago. Yeesh. #3Dprinting

I've got it! The GCode for the spiral now fits, and the result is impressive. #extrusionRate #3dprinting #halftone

On design, analysis, and hybrid manufacturing of microstructured blade-like geometries
With the evolution of new manufacturing technologies such as multi-material 3D printing, one can think of new type of objects that consist of considerably less, yet heterogeneous, material, consequently being porous, lighter and cheaper, while having the very same functionality as the original object when manufactured from one single solid material. We aim at questioning five decades of traditional paradigms in geometric CAD and focus at new generation of CAD objects that are not solid, but con…

It looked like a promising print, but unfortunately it failed a few layers later due to a clogged nozzle. However, the pattern seems to be easy to print without support. #3dprinting #bambulab #basket

I think my BambuLab A1 mini really struggles with certain types of filament that are not thick enough, whether it's the old, two-year-old white PLA or the wood filament. With a little pressure, the extruder pushes it through the nozzle, but it doesn't do so continuously on its own. #3dprinting #3dprinter

Come on, just one more video how to bend the 'Wiener Geflecht' to a cylinder because why not.
It feels like coding/modeling the #3d object with #OpenSCAD is more fun then #3dprinting is. Althou…

Almost ready to produce the halftone spiral image with just a single line with different extrusion factors for different line width, showing my avatar image. #bambulab #bambustudio #3dprinting
