There was a video comparing the Sovol #SV08 (GPL3) to a Troodon kit. The creator concluded that one place the SV08 definitively had a leg up was that it was open source.
About a week later the same creator posted a google drive link with the STEP file for the Troodon saying "Look, Troodon is open source."
Open up the STEP file in FreeCAD and the license metadata: "All rights reserved."
Some #3Dprinting today. I haven't printed #TPU in ages, but need some of these little bumpers to support a glass top on a patio table.
TPU is a slightly soft/flexible urethane plastic that can be tough to print (for me anyway). Good results today tho'. The advice to print hotter, slower and a little thicker than PLA seems to work pretty well.
The two-part approach worked well for me to be able to squeeze these into mounting holes. As one piece they don't deform enough to get thru the hole.
Behold my ridiculous, impractical, but functional temporary #3dPrinted#bike kickstand replacement. 🤦
For some reason, my kickstand broke off again (the two kickstand-plate welds broke off at the bottom of the bike, wtf) and this is a long weekend in Germany, so until Monday my fav bike shop is closed, so no chance getting it fixed until then.
So #3dPrinting to the rescue: fire up #SolveSpace and throw some design together, print it and voilà, we have ourselves a shitty little replacement.
I am experimenting with a new #stitching technique for our new prototype GLoA E-reader case covers. I have fallen in love with the results. Still can’t believe this is #3dprinted plastics! #lasercut leather and hand stitched. Needs some minor adjustments but progress is good.
Overnight print is off to a solid start. I haven't done one this big in a while and I'm excited to see how goes the gradient filament. Also, the estimates for how long this print will take are crazy. Maybe it will still be running at 18:00 tomorrow?? That's not what Cura said. But we shall see!
@kim is going to see her nieces tomorrow so I busted out the 3D printer so she could be the best bad influence possible :neofox_wink_blep: :neofox_peek_knife: #3DPrinting#sword
Biiiiig Rima.
My #DnD character, Rima Sahr, is a rune knight fighter. Rune Knights studied the magic of giants and have the ability to grow a size larger in combat. If you then case enlarge/reduce on them, they double in size again.
I have a 3D printer.
Built a gameboy camera printer for someone, I'm kinda jelly because it's better then the one I built myself. Used a vape battery a esp8266 together with a Tp4056 charge board. When connected to a gameboy you can tell the camera to print to the esp8266, when reset it turns into a WiFi hot-spot so you can download the photos to your phone. This is the firmware that I flashed to the esp8266 #esp8266#gameboy#3dprinting#gameboyCamerahttps://github.com/HerrZatacke/wifi-gbp-emulator/blob/master/beginner_setup_guide.md
After just not getting productive with freecad and solvespace (although I learned a lot from both) and beingt too frustrated with Fusion's free tier and really bad app streaming experience I might have finally found something I start feeling productive and quick designing models for 3d printing. And it's #Plasticityhttps://www.plasticity.xyz. Yes it's commercial but no subscription. Did some small mount adapters I needed as first projects today and they turned out really good. #3dprinting
