Hm, previously I've made and printed extension legs for stuff like my dining table, but I've been looking at getting a new sofa after I move, and if I can print some 5-6cm legs for it, I could use those big under-bed-storage drawers without much hassle. (A couple of the sofas I've been considering have ~15cm of clearance from the floor, if you take one with long legs. But a lot of under-bed-rollers are 18-21cm with wheels.) Does anyone think there'd be any specific issue with this, on a sofa? PETG or PLA with high infill, lots of walls, and the sofas I've been considering have had 8 legs, so we'd be talking like 40-50kg compression load with a fully packed sofa. With shelves and tables I haven't been worried, but there is a lot of force involved in a person flopping down on a sofa, not to mention hours of extra force deforming it over time. But it'd also have enough infill that it'd basically be just a solid block of plastic. The main worry is if one cracks or deforms, it'd have the entire sofa deforming as that one point starts sagging. (I guess one option could be to for example cast some legs from epoxy resin, since those are pretty goddamn strong, still have some lying around too.)

A few pages ago I was squishing PLA stamps into leather in a shop vise. When solid it can handle compression reasonably well, apparently *Obligatory comment that sawing up a cheap piece of wood almost certainly would accomplish the same couch lifting goal in 1% of the time of modeling and printing parts of the size and solidity you'd want to put weight on it. if you're aware of the other options and specifically want to print a couch lift kit, I support that decision and want to see the results. I believe it would be doable but have to be 99% infill or something and would be a long expensive (in filament meter terms) print Javid fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Oct 7, 2023 |

Looks like 8 legs, 99% infill, would be a 12 hour print total, for 8 5x5cm cylinder legs (And 1kg-ish of filament.) (Estimated 120g/leg, though probably more with a design that cradles the sofa leg instead of just being a basic cylinder.) So print time and cost wise it wouldn't be particularly bad, it would be like ~20-30usd material wise, compared to 5-10. But it would look a lot better than just a sawn off piece of wood under the sofa legs, atleast. (If I had some woodworking tools to chop up some wood, make an indent for the legs, and make the end product nice I'd go that route, absolutely.) Strengthwise I'm wondering if I'd be better off just printing molds with PLA, then casting epoxy resin into that, but that'd be even more expensive. (And hella slow, would have to do a bunch of pours to avoid melting and deforming the mold.) (The easiest solution is just to find some other storage solution I can have under the 15cm clearance sofas, though.) e: I guess a 50/50 solution could be to print the feet without a top, and use a low rate of infill that allows liquids through, like gyroid, and fill the interior with resin. Though that still hits the 'cast multiple times' or 'might melt the leg' issues. That'd give a printed structure + exterior, and a strong as all hell resin/epoxy interior. (But is essentially as expensive as just resincasting it.) SubNat fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Oct 7, 2023 |

RabbitWizard posted:I'd go with PLA. PETG is too bendy. I was going to say this basically. Increase wall/top/bottom layer count and go with a lower infill like 50% max. I think it's extremely rare that 99% infil is needed Edit: you can also set the infill wall thickness, which would potentially make grid infill a lot stronger.

I guess honeycomb infill might also be stronger for top-down/z compression than grid or rectilinear? It is one of the few types of infill where you get 1:1 overlap between each layer after all. With a couple of the others you only get that right at the crossing points as they crisscross. But yeah, time isn't a huge constraint, I'll be grabbing the sofa and stuff in december, so plenty of time to try things out.

I have what in the grand scheme of things is such a minor issue, but I'm wondering if anyone might know why something is happening. Using an Ender 3 v2. Cura 5.4. PLA  They are difficult to see in the picture, but on all three of these jars there is this slightly darker oval shape. Does anyone know what might be causing it? It's the same shape and size and in the same position on all three jars. Structurally they are perfect and the print is great, there is just this weird discoloration. Any thoughts,?

Tsietisin posted:is just this weird discoloration. Open your slicer and look at the generated gcode for that section. Cheap speed/flow/etc and you will see the printer is doing something different there Some combination of slower/faster speed then the other section is causing it to move faster/slower and it's getting hotter/colder then the other parts. Or there is a different flow there. The slicer output tells all

Speaking of pavers, are there any X1C purge bucket designs that can still catch stuff with the extra height? I don’t have any magnets to try the ones that attach to the back of the printer.

I have a preorder for an Anycubic Kobra 2 Max being fulfilled pretty soon, along with a boatload of their 5kg white high speed PLA. I want to print a full-sized T-Rex skull from topgunsi, then a baby t-rex skeleton, finally a t-rex head that I have someone that will airbrush it for me. I started 3-d printing eons ago, and while I love the results of my bedslingers, I just don't want to go through the process again. Ever. Bambu and corexy have spoiled me forever with 3d printing. After I am done with my three projects, I am going to light the loving thing on fire and bash it with a baseball bat. PC LOAD LETTER!!! !!! !!! !!!!!!!!

My first order was some ABS, some PETG and some PLA. Ran all three through my Bambu without any issue and I was happy with the resulting prints. Various friends have been running them through Ender 3s, Vorons and other Bambus, and they're all happy too. And they're not hiding if there's a problem with the material, https://siddament.com.au/pages/transparency When my infini-roll of 3DFillies ABS finally ran out, the price of the Siddament was so attractive it was hard to say no.
