Good Morning, Friends. Chemo this round knocked me on my ass, and as such I have not written anything all week save for Monday. This morning I talk about a bunch of random topics from #3DPrinting, to #Eurovision, to #AFKJourney, and some #PathofExile2 spoiler season stuff.

LOOP filament recycler continues to miss launch dates, showing little progress despite years of promises. The desktop 3D filament maker was announced as the first of its kind. https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/loop-filament-recycler-shows-little-progress-as-launch-dates-continue-to-slip #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Desktop

Another stop-motion loop of a 3D-printed nylon model, this time of an Enneper-type minimal surface.

Because the surface is invariant under the composition of reflection in the equatorial plane and rotation by 1/12 of a turn about an orthogonal axis, the reflection in the CD may be surprising.

A compact handheld game console based on the ESP32 for #freecadFriday !

I reused a small lithium battery salvaged from a disposable e-cigarette to power this fun little gaming handheld.

If you like to build it:

The buttons from my Opel keyfob fell off, so I made a fix, perfect for this #FreeCADFriday. Print the body in TPU, the inserts in PLA, place the inserts inside the body, glue it to the keyfob and you don't need to buy a duplicate anymore 👍. https://www.printables.com/model/1721855-opel-keyfob-buttons-fix

Is your Flashforge AD5X a brick waiting to happen? We’re diving deep into the silent V1/V2 hardware swap and the firmware updates causing the dreaded E0120 error. Don't let a "stable" update kill your machine. 🛠️📉

BLT metal 3D printing has been used to produce the hinge system for OPPO’s Find N5 and N6 foldable smartphones. The 3D printed hinge comprises wing plates on both sides that bear the majority of the folding stresses, marking a significant innovation in consumer electronics manufacturing. https://www.tctmagazine.com/application-spotlight-blt-metal-3d-printing-technology-enhance-oppo-foldable-smartphone-hinge-system/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Industrial

For this #FreeCADFriday I have improved my filament dry box.

The box was already a trusty companion for 3D-printing needs, keeping filament in an air-tight environment even during printing.

Why did I need to change a perfect model you ask? Two reasons:

1. I added a flexible anti-slip TPU foot to decouple it from the surface it stands on.

2. I made it stackable by adding indentations that match the profile of the container.

China has completed the first space-based laser wire-fed metal 3D printing experiment under microgravity conditions aboard the Qingzhou spacecraft. The breakthrough marks a significant step toward manufacturing tools and spare parts directly in orbit for future lunar missions. https://3dprint.com/326012/china-becomes-latest-space-power-to-demonstrate-metal-3d-printing-in-orbit/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #IndustrialAM

So, das Insektenhotel ist weitgehend fertig. Nur der Pool muss noch gefüllt werden und zwei Fächer, aber das bekommen wir auch noch hin.

I am super proud of this #3dprinting filament splice. 🎉 Spent way too long on doing 10+ of these, but I salvaged half a kilo of a material that's out of stock waiting on next production run that I thought was gone after a mishap with hot spots while drying it.

I can't imagine why, but the infill phase of this flat round object I'm printing makes me want a stroopwafel.
