Good advice, how do I add more than one image here? Maybe I just don’t know what I’m doing.
Thank you for the kind words on the design, I thought it turned out pretty great too, I definitely should have made her put the order in first, but you know… life lessons and all that.
Sure you can let me know what you think about it, though to be completely honest, it was her ideas that I just implemented, but I’d love to make it better.
Unnecessary aggression for sure but you can do better next time.
I have a 3d design business. I’ve probably got thousands of print hours on my various printers. Some go non-stop for weeks. Brass is soft, it wears out.
If you need me to take some caliper measurements of worn out nozzles and how it impacts a print, I’d be happy to educate you.
Maybe, I wonder how well the calibration would work for multi color printing then. Might be worth a test
TBH, I hadn’t thought about it. But you’re right, I bet they are revos or something. Even then, those are still expensive. You aren’t buying a bag of 20 for $10
Oh it’s a fantastic printer, but the default brass nozzles are $25 and the hardened steel are $53. Also you have to buy up to 5 of them at a time. Add to it, a 36cm^3 build area and you start to realize how fast the brass ones flatten their tips.
In short, nozzles aren’t cheap.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Cries in PrusaXL…
Amazing, thanks for sharing
I can’t tell what I’m looking at. Did you get any artichokes?
Really great how to! Thanks for sharing.

I have this laptop, running Fedora with kde. It’s fine.
I’d say the creativity was there around 7 or so where she could start to make things. She still needs my help to make them printable and sometimes to figure out the geometry/math.
I bought a few spools from a company called printerior. It appears they recycle pla and other types and make it into filament. I have a box of my waste pla I’m about to send to them, just don’t have enough yet to justify it.
So far their filament is fine to work with, a tad stringy, but nothing major.
I’ve said this in other similar threads, don’t add to your debt by unloading a depreciating asset, just to buy a similar depreciating asset. All ceo’s are likely trash people. Just look up ex Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn(sp?) for a recent example.
Elon might be top tier shitbag, but all ceo’s of car companies are right wing Nazi supporters.
Yes for sure. My big printer is broken right now and I need to figure out how to fix it before I can make another one that sized.
Listen, I’m just someone that found a hobby that people liked. I came up with the twisted design for a local plant shop (it was actually a watering can first, which I still sell). That launched the online stores and now my hobby pays for itself. How many people can say that?
I am proud of the designs I make even if they are simple and 3d printing is a skill in its own right. There are hundreds of slicer settings and I make use of a lot of them to do interesting things.
Thanks, tbh it was for a time on my Etsy shop but it never sold a single one. So I took it down. It was kind of expensive to make due to how parts of the design were.
The distance between the inner and outer wall was too thick, the bottom was solid for about 10mm to add weight but all that added up to was much material.
I think I’m better at design now though and could make one similar that used a lot less material which would cost less.
Lol shows how much I pay attention
Well I was able to add more images but the gif didn’t save for some reason. Thanks for the suggestions.
