Oh man if you want to see some whacky naming for files look in to the stuff that is used to evade Games Workshop name searching their models. Enraged Prime Beefs fighting Jean Thieves is just the tip of that iceberg.

You say that..... But the name makes sense if you've seen it in action. Sound on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu-BvQQyJjU

And this is an enviorment where we have X1 Carbon, Mk3s, SV01, and while we're there, a naming convention of 1, 2, 0. In that order.

You could ask a polymer chemist to be sure, but for acetone resistance the best option of the reasonably common FDM filaments is probably nylon. Polypropylene or polyethylene should be even better, but they're very difficult to print. I've seen the filament for sale but I don't know of anyone who uses it seriously.

Super engineering plastics like PEEK should also work very well but they're very hard to print and super expensive to boot.

SLA resins are likely not a good choice. Acetone is a decent solvent for acrylates, which are a major component of most SLA resins.

I use those polypropylene amazon pickle jars for cleaning prints and have had one of them filled with acetone for a few years with no degradation. As for the feasibility of printing with polypropylene - I have no idea.

Hearing, not seeing. I suppose it depends on weather you've heard a rabbit munching on stuff. I was angry about the name till I saw the orignial video.

Makerbot had the thing-o-matic.

Naming of ~things~ is hard. I was behind the "IS board" in like.. 2004. It was a reactionary name because of a company called WAS. (Jim Drew is still a steaming pile of poo.) Even companies who spend lots of money on naming things get it wrong, in dire fashion from time to time. Like.. Looking up what the KN car company is. The worst thing is when people name things in ways that can't be searched. It's not a great name but BabyBelt seems to bring up the right answer always.

For those of us who don't mind the budget filaments - IIID Max has a 15% off end-of-year sale coupon. At current prices, that brings a 10-pack of PLA+ down to $101.92 shipped in the USA.

https://llldmax.com/
Coupon code is HAPPY2023

My order of this stuff came today, and so far, so good -- my only complaint is that IIIDMAX's white PLA+ is more of a bone white than I was expecting, compared to the Inland stuff that's brilliant white. I like the shades of blue I got, though.

The white is definitely a bit lackluster, I got a couple of rolls for the first time in my most recent order and was a little disappointed. I love every other one of their colors that I've tried, which is most of them at this point, but will definitely be sticking with my usual eSun (who I think is also the OEM for Inland, or at least used to be) for a nice bright white.

They’re definitely better than a lot of MMU solutions, but to accommodate the extra heads, you lose build area on the left and right because otherwise they’ll interfere with each other. And just like the name suggests, you’re limited to two extruders.

The Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder is the multi filament solution I want to try soon,

But I've had to write that name down in like three places because it's impossible to remember or reverse engineer.

IMO, for an eventual ERCFv2, someone needs to figure out a sane printable mechanism that allows using a Y-splitter on the head and preload the next filament close to the hotend while printing. FDM printing is already excruciatingly slow, gently caress me if you add the delays from filament un-/feeding multiple times a layer.

as far as I can tell the ERCF is basically a (theoretically) more reliable version of the Prusa MMU2, which is a terrible way of doing multi-material printing even when it works.

I see this as problematic in a device that's partly printed. Something like E3D's system, where all the mechanical parts are machined, thus (theoretically) precise, sure. A printed plastic variant the very least needs annoying (regular?) calibration.

IIID MAX's "candy red" is weird and bad, but almost everything else they do is pretty good.

Weirdly, I've noticed that most of their dark filaments print more nicely than the light ones. It's not just a trick of the light, either - like if I use their purple, dark blue or "night gray" (actually my favorite filament color) I get a smoother top surface than their light blue or their yellow.

Yeah, they've been working on automating that end of things for years now. They recognized early that care & feeding of printers (loading, reloading, popping parts, cleaning parts, etc) is a huge labor cost when things scale up.


I'd love to manage a professional print farm. That and caretaking fields of solar panels are my modern-day equivalent of daydreaming about being a shepherd.

This seems...suboptimal.

edit: apparently it's worse than that; he induced thermal runaway during print heat-up by loosening the thermistor

Since I have a long tradition of breaking things when I pull them apart and need to do some maintenance on my Prusa MK3, I bought a Sovol SV06 as backup.

The frame is quite rigid, and the gantries are well put together. If the manual took as much inspiration from Prusa as the printer it would be an easy recommendation for a first printer for most people.

The only 2 things I don't like are:
  • The magnetic sticker on the heatbed. It works just fine, but it seems like it introduces a bit of variation in heatbed flatness; and
  • The choice of a microSD instead of a regular SD card slot, and locating it on the controller board instead of on the more-easily accessible display panel

For the $330AUD I paid it's great value, and certainly a far cry from the Anet A2 I bought for the same price about 6 years ago!

I thought this was a constant across all filaments because they need to add more colourant for the lighter colours?

Definitely a huge fan of the Night Gray myself, and have also recently discovered that I really like the lighter Space Gray too. I agree that the Candy Red is a bit odd, but I've found the sort of muted translucence of it useful in a couple of things. Still have most of the roll though, don't really see ever using a ton of it and probably wouldn't buy it again.
