Daughter broke the round chainguard of her folding bike, let's see if I can 3D print a new one.
Dimensions have been checked by printing a 2-layer version first
Hope it will be strong enough

A person's time and experience seems to be a concept that does not equal to anything for some folks out there. I was asked to 3D print an object, it was about a size of a large soda can. I quoted 15€ and was told the filament for the item would just cost couple of euros so my quote was a ripoff.
Damn, I really need to take this argument to the next taxi trip I make. I mean if the vehicle burns two liters of gas during the trip, one would expect the cost of the trip being current price for gas for two liters, right? Otherwise they'd be ripping me off, the fuckers!

Apple's new iPhone Duo features a 3D-printed hinge cover made from 100% recycled titanium. The foldable smartphone uses additive manufacturing for the precision hinge, following Apple's earlier use of 3D printing for the iPhone Air USB-C port and Apple Watch cases. The hinge contains over 100 components engineered to precisely control opening and closing while supporting the display. https://www.tctmagazine.com/apples-new-foldable-iphone-features-a-3d-printed-hinge-cover/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Consumer

Damn. I forgot I broke another of my v5 25° 3D printed Seestar lens hood/light baffles on Tuesday night so tonight the Thirty Millimetre Telescope is wearing the ludicrously large v5 20° design.
These things are getting broken at the end of the night when the Seestar automatically closes the telescope arm, bending the push-fit lens hood out of the aperture and causing it to drop onto the concrete patio below.
The weak point is where the narrow cylindrical section that fits inside the Seestar aperture meets the top of the conical section. The walls are as thin as I can make them at that point because any additional thickness right there intrudes on the telescope beam, losing light. Compounding the issues are the fact that these are printed in matte black PLA which is rather brittle, and they were printed when it was very cold inside the house wasn't doing the layer adhesion any favours.
I don't know whether they're breaking when the telescope is forcing them out of its aperture or when they hit the ground. For now I can reduce the length of the cylindrical section to reduce the moment arm when it gets nudged out and add a loop so I can tie a safety harness to the lens hood to stop it dropping all the way to the ground.
Longer term I can try printing them in tougher filament (I have a spool of PETG-CF I bought for this purpose, but need to swap out my brass nozzle for hardened steel first) and switch to magnetic attachment instead of a push fit.
For tonight I'll just turn off the automatic closing function of the Seestar, I don't think the bigger, heavier 20° hood will survive the fall to the ground. As long as I bring the telescope inside in the morning before the Sun can shine into it that'll be fine.

I got the dimensions of the USB-C jack wrong the first time … :eyeroll: But now everything fits fine. The PCB is held exactly in place by the top lid.
For such #3dprinting projects I like those self-tapering screws for plastics. Once installed in my #velomobile with the right lengthened wires, electronics and speaker enclosures will be closed (the later one w/ glue).
Making enclosures and lids fit was easy w/ binders (offset -0.1mm) in #FreeCAD.

Hyper3D has launched Rodin Gen-2.5, an AI model that generates 3D meshes with up to 10 million faces. The update also adds tools for mesh repair, region editing via text prompts, splitting large models into printable parts, and colour assignment for multi-colour printing. Debuted at Formnext Asia Shenzhen. https://www.3dnatives.com/en/hyper3d-rodin-gen-2-5-ai-3d-print-preparation-10092026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Software

I don't really know why but I never liked the bulky front beak on my #motorcycle so I removed it last year.
I tried to mould a shortened version of it with glass fiber but it turned out even more ugly.
Last week I got in touch with a local hobbyist that offers #3D-printing and -designing on demand.
I showed him the bike plus the original beak and asked if he could design a slim beak for me.
Only one day later the first prototype was printed but it was not quite how I had imagined it. Still better then no finish at the front at all:
...Luckily he was willing to work some more on it, so I asked if he could bring the tip up and make it even more slim and I think he nailed it:
...and for reference the original beak:
And in case anyone is interested in the design:

My father loves his 3D printer and made a little model of my house and my dog Tito. 😍 :blobaww:
This is my new doorbell-house.
Now protecting the doorbell from the sun and rain.

@midtsveen yeah their generally is experimental research & development in #3dprinting & #materials , firmware & #software thats why

@midtsveen i would do half that i know from reading #troubleshooting #3dprinting
