  In a bid to try and discover any non-miniature-related uses of my resin printer, a discussion I had in a community I belong to made me think that resin printing 608 (or similar style) bearings might be a worthwhile endeavour. Because of the various interesting aspects of this process, I figured I'd document it in a thread for anyone else who might be interested. 1/? #3DPrinting #Resin3DPrinting @3dprinting@techhub.social

  Dear filament manufacturers: if you're going to claim your filament is 'high-flow', either provide a racetrack or shut the fuck up. Stop lying to people. IME _every time_ I have seen a 'high flow' claim, it was basically a marketing lie attached to a price increase. Brought to you by me getting nerdsniped into testing a PETG advertised as 'high-flow'... which couldn't even beat _PETG-CF_ at the same temperature. #FDM #3DPrinting...

  It has been 0 days since I found a resin trap in a paid model. FWIW, it _wasn't_ an OPR one this time! @3dprinting #Resin3DPrinting

  It has been 0 days since I found a resin trap in an OPR model. I seriously don't understand what's up with their QC process. This is, no joke, the _fourth_ time I've had this problem. What is their bizarre fixation with having people print resin grenades? @3dprinting #Resin3DPrinting

  Really cool thing I discovered recently: https://ochafik.com/openscad2/ This is basically OpenSCAD running in your browser. Really handy for doing small modifications, or working on a parametric part, without installing anything. @3dprinting

  Really useful video for folks who are planning to build or upgrade an #FDM printer. tl;dw: sticking a heatsink on the bottom of the motor won't do much, you want one on the side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eerxaoaRhQI @3dprinting #3DPrinting

  So, I got a new CNC, which I am slowly learning to use. It's been fairly good so far, apart from the position of the estop button, which was less than great. However, I have an #FDM printer, and #FreeCAD, so I fixed this problem. Figured I'd publish it for everyone to use and modify. https://www.printables.com/model/1530863-lunyee-3018-cnc-endstop-relocation #3DPrinting #CNCMachining @3dprinting

  Just came across this video. Really clever combination of ideas! Never thought this could work with FDM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNVBK7-h9Fs #3DPrinting #FDM @3dprinting

  Fun #FDM discovery yesterday. I was printing some clamps for my new CNC, and of course, I wanted the strongest material I could get my hands on. I have Polymax PC to hand, but I could also source some CF or GF nylon (also from Polymaker). Now, one thing I learned about nylon (from this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8dIpwd6tzo) is that nylon is _so_ hygroscopic that finished prints absorb water and change their properties as they do so. This helped set the context for what I saw....

  It has been 0 days since OPR designs have failed to print for me. To be fair, this is more of a general problem with presupported miniatures than with OPR specifically, but it's still obnoxious. #Resin3DPrinting #3DPrinting @3dprinting

  #3DPrinting Fedi: I am looking for a riser for the lid of my Creality K1 Max, as I'm getting a bit sick of all the reverse Bowden routing issues in the stock design. However, I need the following requirements to be met: * No air vents in the riser, at least as an option. * The ability to externally mount the filament sensor. * Not too much plastic use (as far as reasonable). Any good suggestions? I've seen a bunch of designs, but don't know which to pick. @3dprinting
