#filament — Public Fediverse posts

Current status: I wanted to respool #filament from a defective spool, and had to realise that I have no more empty spools.

If you print, and if you like sparkly rainbows, you should know that CookieCad is having a one-day buy 2 get one free sale today, September 1st. CookieCad has a great selection of shiny/sparkly/bright filaments, but they're expensive.

I try not to shill for companies too much, but this seems like a good sale.

PETG: the PLA Filament Alternative that Just Works

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://hackaday.com/2026/09/01/petg-the-pla-filament-alternative-that-just-works/

After having been in denial for as long as I own a printer (10y) I'm now convinced filament hydration (and thus the necessary drying) is a real thing.
An old spool came out like 💩 but after a good night's drying printed as ⭐️ again!

Is there anybody selling #3DPrinting #Filament in #Ireland as a walk in retail setup?

Na, habt Ihr einen 3D-Drucker und viel Abfall?

Nervt es Euch, dass vom teuren Filament so viel weggeworfen werden muss?

Dafür gibt es eine coole Lösung. Oder besser gesagt: soll es geben. 😊

Don't build your 3D printers out of ABS or ASA 😅

Update of my ongoing filament test.

For those new to it, I printed some test pieces out of various materials and left it on an industrial building's roof in pretty harsh environment.

The LWPLA added this spring strongly disliked being outside and the few sunny days here and there had already started to warp the pieces.

Another note was that the blue Snapmaker branded PLA fades in the sun faster than expected.

PHA Filament

I've been doing a bunch of iterative test prints today (adjusting design for the correct fit) along with printing a bunch of boring utilitarian bits for my own use. So I've been using my oldest box of filament from my stash, because (a) don't let it get too old, and (b) it's the oldest because I haven't wanted to use it for anything to date, so why not get rid of it?

This particular reel is "metallic gold" and it has an awful, fake-y gold sheen to it. It's ugly. Downright tacky.

I'm feeling very Presidential as a result.

Ooh, look! I made a thing!

A minimal yet useful grip clip to keep from losing the ends of filament into dryboxes and such.

Recycling filament to create new ones takes time and a lot of attention!

This ESP Cam gives me acoustic alerts via a web server. An old smartphone or any device running a browser is good enough for this purpose. Finally, I can leave it alone. Next, I’ll boot up @freecad to design a nice mount. #artme3d #recycling #filament

Been messing around with #Filament for #Laraval a bit and gotta say, it's quite wonderful!

It's almost easier to create a website + CMS from "scratch" then setting up WordPress or whatever that's kinda bloated

Made a super simple site where i can share photos via admin panel etc

I've been 3D-printing for around five and a half years. So I'm not a rookie, but I just made a #rookie #mistake.

I've spent the last couple of weeks making compartments and dividers and such for the toolboxes I take to the Repair Cafe. Lots of test #prints to check fits and footprints, full prints, changes to design based on lessons learned during use at the last cafe, etc. I've put around three kilograms of #filament through my printer in that time.

Then, in the last couple days, I started having various problems. At first they only showed up on big prints - #adhesion and #curling, which I've had before when pushing the limits of my bed size. But prints seemed to be getting #sloppier, and I had a couple of spaghetti explosions.

Tonight, I finally took the #hotend apart and looked at it closely - it's very difficult to do when the printer is fully assembled, because it's a #delta printer.

Lo and behold, the nozzle appeared worn. And that can account for all the problems.

I should have checked this sooner - but I've only been printing plain #PLA, nothing abrasive, so I didn't think of it. Lesson learned.

Pardon the shitty photo from a cheap digital magnifier. The old #nozzle #orifice is about 1.5x the diameter of the new one - so 2.25x the area. No wonder plastic was going everywhere but where it should go!

Seems to be printing *much* better with a new nozzle.

Ooh, look! I fixed a thing!

On May 19 we have Pim Elshoff talking about: Filament vs Inertia, and other bad ways to make UX decisions

We have:
- A place to meet other like-minded people
- Free food (pizza, including vegan) and drinks provided by Suma Eindhoven
- A @jetbrains license to raffle

I wish there was something like Filament PHP but using Inertia.

Currently using Nuxt UI v4, and while it slaps, I'm kind of tired of so much plumbing for things that Filament PHP offers you out-of-the-box.

Yeah, I'm sill recommending Filament PHP.
