  1. Hey #makers what material would you use for this project?

    I want to make a set of lawn poetry, like magnetic fridge poetry but with non-magnetic and bigger pieces to play on the ground outside with friends.

    I want it to be big enough to read off the ground while standing, and light enough to easily bring to picnics. Looking at the magnetic sets, I am guessing I will make 400-500 word tiles (ranging from "a" to e.g., "bedazzled")

  2. Any chooms got some 3D printing advice?

    I have a bedslinger (Sovol SV06 ACE, PLA), and any lower profile prints have been perfect, but I wanted to try this cool paper-holding rat to print for my son, and I have tried 3 times and it comes loose from the bed near the top of the print. Of course then it just air prints.

    Things I have tried:

    • Cleaning the bed with 96% ethanol (I do that before each print anyway)
    • Using hairspray on the bed
    • Increasing the first layer thickness
    • Adjusting the z-offset for more squish
    • Adding a skirt of 8mm
    • Checking all the temp settings: bed 60C, first layer 210C print temp 200C (as specified on the PLA spool)

    I'm using orcaslicer, I think the one thing that's left to try is reducing the print speed, but I hoped that wouldn't be needed...Maybe there is a way to slow the print as you get further up? Or maybe because I'm such a n00b I missed something obvbious
