  1. I just cut a leather template from an acrylic sheet so I can use it offline, but I think I prefer to cut the leather directly with the laser cutter.
    Meanwhile, the printer is pumping out Dumpling Clickers.

  2. When you ask the #Prusa crew about any upcoming machines or what's going on behind closed doors...

  3. @diffusedtactics this is very cool! Thank you for sharing! I'll be spreading the word with my 3d printing community! #3dprinting

  4. There. Some #FreeCAD and #3Dprinting later I have an item that does what I want and it even has the look I wanted.

    The cup is PETG and the mount solid PA as it gets squeezed pretty hard.

    I'll upload the model once I've cleaned it up a bit and try out some printing enhancements to the first model.

  5. The UK's Guide Dogs charity has launched a pilot programme creating 3D printed tactile ultrasound models for visually impaired expectant parents. The First Hello initiative allows blind parents-to-be to feel the contours of their unborn baby, something sighted parents take for granted. The free service transforms standard 20-week scan images into 3D printed models shipped within a week. 3dprint.com/332478/uk-charity- #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Medical

  6. It came out pretty decent.

    The holder part works pretty much how I wanted. The jury is still out for the mounting part but as the holder just slides in its place, I can redesign the mount part later if needed.

  7. Ooh, as a lazy person with a 3D printer this looks rather appealing.

    Yes, I've already got a bunch of indicator silica gel, and vacuum bags, and a filament drier. Do I use them properly? No, because lazy. But a cabinet that I just need to put my filament into and it will automagically always be dry when I want to use it? This is an instance of paying to make a problem go away that I could get behind.

  8. RE: mastodon.social/@geekrealmhub/

    I've been very happy with the Kickstarter edition Creality CR-6 that I've been using for the past 6 years, but it's getting a little dated in its capabilities. This new K3 looks like it may be at the top of my upgrade list, with the promise of an open ecosystem and root access; the exact opposite of Bamboo's approach. Plus, need to upgrade before all these ridiculous state big brother laws go into effect.

  9. ModelRift's blog serves up an epic showdown between #CadQuery and #OpenSCAD for AI-generated gizmos 🦾. Spoiler: both fail spectacularly, but with different flavors of disappointment 🚫🤖. Just what the CAD world needed—more ways to mess up 3D printing 🙄.

  10. I am late uploading here as the server was down when I cross posted on other services, but here is one of the latest efforts on my fiber laser.

    Perfect alignment every time. Upgraded my ComMarker B6 with a digital scale to take the guesswork out of defocusing. Use the focus cone to set true zero then dial in exact, perfectly repeatable offsets for color engraving.
