#3d-printing — Public Fediverse posts

Printed a dice case with tray for playing Knucklebones including glow-in-the-dark lettering.

Clasp ended up too tight so trimmed it down a bit; no dice getting lost from this thing!

Now to teach the kiddos how to play :)

Oggi ho pubblicato un altro modello della mia serie SNAPTPU, una piccola astronavina di 6 pezzi. Tutti i pezzi dei modelli sono compatibili e si possono mischiare

👉 This character was printed by a #Millforge member on one of our fantastic @elegoo resin 3D printers! Unlike filament/FDM printers, resin printers allow for precision as fine as the thickness of a human hair.

💡 If you want to learn more about resin printing, or want to print a character for yourself, come by Mill Forge Makerspace in Norwood! Check out millforge.org for more information, upcoming events, and membership perks.

I think I finally got it! Sprues do not connect to the main part in the slicer, so they are juuuuust barely touching the part when it gets printed. Witness marks are minimal, and the support fins are still able to do their job. I've also added additional stem (i.e. stabilizers) support generation to the #OpenSCAD script, though just like with the #Keyboard Playground script, you have to manually add the support placement vectors yourself by editing the file (boo). A 0.2mm brim has been added to anchor the first layer without relying on slicer settings.

I'm going to get a reasonable set of caps generated this evening and post it up on Printables, etc. ASAP.

I’ve been getting some minor skin irritation on my fingers. Could be a lot of things but I just had an epiphany: I replaced my dresser handles with glow-in-the-dark PLA. Glow-in-the-dark PLA wears out metal nozzles pretty quickly.

There’s a non-zero chance that touching it all the time is the problem.

Also the stuff doesn’t glow.

General Atomics will lead a 5.5 million USD project to develop material allowables for a high-strength 7075-T73-equivalent aluminium alloy across laser powder bed fusion systems. The GOTHAAM project involves Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Airbus and other partners, aiming to enable scalable production for defence applications. https://www.tctmagazine.com/general-atomics-to-lead-aluminium-alloy-allowables-development-efforts-through-5-5m-project/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Industrial

I've modeled the front half of the bottom structure. Here's a fly-through.

Notes:

- The black piece will be high temp plastic, probably ASA. The rest is PLA.

- The dock, which is hot, only touches the two little prongs at each corner. They fit into the grooves in its heatsink. There is air space above and below.

- The plastic is not load-bearing. The monitor stand will be supported by an M5 screw and locknut at each corner.

#3DPrinting #DIY

A few months back my father asked if I could make a solar powered lighthouse that he could mount on the roof of his place down the shore.

I've now realized that not only have I massively overengineered the project (as is my custom), but that this thing may be a legitimate hazard to navigation. At the very least, I'm sure his neighbors are going to be horrified the first night it kicks on.

I suspect we'll have to make some adjustments....

Well, shit... while I've been very happy with what I've been able to put together with #Multiboard for my tiny tool wall, I don't think I'm going to extend it any further. What's more, I'm going to eventually replace it with an #openGrid setup. It's really a shame, because I wanted to like Multiboard/Multibuild/Multibin *so, so badly*, but it becomes more obvious with each month that goes by without so much as a peep from the dev "team" (one guy) that it has stalled completely (and the licensing situation is just ridiculous on its face).

I cannot get behind the idea that they want to charge any money whatsoever, even if it's just considered "support", when the system has:

- Lackluster/out of date/altogether missing documentation
- Models that have been broken for months/years
- No (actual, clear) road map
- A "you'll have to trust me, bro" licensing model
- Completely usurped its own creators' discoverability on Thangs by putting up literally thousands of models, splitting each tiny variation off onto its own page

There also seem to be all of the *trappings* of a vibrant community -- forums, a feedback area with a voting mechanism, etc. -- but any interaction in that community from the folks in charge is noticeably absent, and every 5th feedback post is someone lamenting the time they wasted up to this point only to discover that the system is too confusing or laborious and therefore unusable.

It had so much promise! I was so psyched to use it and design for it! This really pisses me off, but I've just got to cut my losses and move on. If anybody knows of a good drawers system for openGrid they can recommend, I would love to hear about it; that's my main hesitation about moving over. I can use #Gridfinity for bins and there are plenty of models out there for shelves, but I have yet to find a drawers system as compelling as Multibin is/was.
