SubNat posted:Yeah, that'll be nice, also organic/tree supports, and a nice little 'text to mesh' feature to make it easier to add text to models. Funny enough, one tool that I use for text to mesh is "3d Builder". Yes, that free tool that looks like crap on Windows. You can use embossing to drop into mesh and etch the words or whatever you want into the mesh.    (yah, those additional tris are off the chain, but Meshmixer can fix it) It also had the best STL repairs, including Meshmixer, for the longest time. If you did it on Sli3er, Cura, or Meshmixer, it would either take forever, create some weird rear end polygons, or just crash. 3d Builder just would make the simplest fix to fill the holes and done.

Yeah, I get that. I was referring to the way in the 'organic support' right-hand screenshot, the support material appears to start (at the buildplate) right below the wand, then swing 'behind' the wand from the camera POV, and then swing back 'in front of' the wand. I wasn't clear what that accomplishes that wouldn't also work with the support material directly below the wand at the top.

Ok then I'm just confused why you're hung up on the support material being symmetrical. The benchy with organic supports doesn't have symmetrical supports either

It is supposed to be tested by people willing to try it out, including the supporters and naysayers Perhaps you may want to give it a try, so you get some juicy evidence on your side?

Ah man, it finally happened. I had to take the hotend apart.    Somehow the filament broke into multiple pieces when I unloaded it last night. I also had to clear up some more stringy gunk out of the heat break. I ordered like 5 ptfe tubes cause I messed mine up taking it out. Luckily that seems to be the only replacement part I need. I also put in an order for a nozzle x. I guess now would be a good time for a replacement. On the brightside, I'm getting the true 3d printing experience now!

mattfl posted:These look like the slim tree supports that I've been using in Bambu Slicer. Yeah because they already implemented some of the code from cura by Thomas W I believe is his name! The slim tree supports work pretty great and are extremely similar to the Cura alpha that includes his code from my limited testing. I've also been enjoying testing this fork of bambu studio: https://github.com/SoftFever/BambuStudio-SoftFever/releases He's been adding features like crazy, I really appreciate all the hard work so far! They've implemented some of his fork into the official release before too. There's a lot of features he's adding back from prusa slicer, he just added the ability to do inner and or outer brim for example. edit: Forgot to add this fork includes some manual calibration features borrowed from superslicer, so it would be extra beneficial for P1P owners I think. Allows you to manually put in pressure advance values per filament profile. Opinionated fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Jan 28, 2023 |

Ended up getting a HALOT-LITE dropped in my lap next week. 8.9" 4k mono. Looking for washing and curing tips. Anyone tried washing with an ultrasonic cleaner? Or would the resin residue gunk things up pretty quick? I have what I need through various unrelated acquisitions for other things, and since this isn't doing huge prints, I think I could manage pretty well (I have a 10W UV panel that cures my UV casting resin quickly, so I'm guessing that will work for printing resin) with a couple of home Depot additions. Also: anyone with experience on the flexible resins? I have a project in mind that it would be perfect for if the prints are at least as tough as FDM TPU, if not quite as flexible.

AlexDeGruven posted:Ended up getting a HALOT-LITE dropped in my lap next week. 8.9" 4k mono. My understanding is that you don't want to wash your prints in an ultrasonic cleaner A)as the first wash stage or B)with IPA in the ultrasonic cleaner, period. For A) it's usually because, as you say, the residue would get very gunky very quickly; ideally you'd wash them another way first with IPA to get the bulk of residue off and then put them in the ultrasonic with like Purple Power or some other household cleaner to make sure all the residue's gone. This is because in the case of B), you don't want to risk fire or explosion with IPA in an ultrasonic, particularly not one with a heating element in it (and just in case it develops a leak or a short or something). Uncle Jessy did a video where he explored alternatives to IPA for use in ultrasonic cleaners. He also did a video where he warned against getting a cleaner that doesn't have an automatic shutoff for the heating element when you're done cleaning; he woke up to some foul odors one morning after forgetting to turn off the heater on the cleaner, and it had basically baked the residue and cooked off the cleaning solution. So that's also something to be mindful of

It was just a thought as I wait for delivery, but that's kind of what I was expecting. I'll stick with the old school method of IPA and a brush.

Y'know, I've been wondering why my printer (Klipper, CR-6 SE) kept waiting for a while after finishing the purge line. Turns out Prusaslicer helpfully injects an extra 'wait for hotend temp' command after the [start_print] command, to idiot-proof it a bit. It does that because the [start_print] macro isn't readable by Prusaslicer, and thus it just rams them in just in case because it can't see if you've actually set temps. Finding a random reddit post suggesting I add 'M104 S0 / M140 S0' right before the start_print command makes it so that it's no longer included. Problem solved.  .No more big blobs on the purge line because the nozzle just sits there chilling for a while before printing, now it just whips off the moment the purge line completes. I'm not sure -why- the extra wait-for-hotend temp command Prusaslicer forced it caused it to hang for a good 10 sec or so after completing the purge (Maybe it has a minimum duration?), but it's nice to have it gone.

Neptune 3 Plus back in stock on elegoo’s site for the US. I’ve been very impressed by what I’ve seen in reviews of the Pro/Plus/Max and have been wanting something with a larger build volume than my Prusa Mini+ and E3Pro. I’m just lucky the max isn’t available because I would have absolutely bought it just for printing exactly one 1kg rainbow articulated dragon and never anything that large again

That's good, it's such a nice QoL thing. By the way, klipper goons: is there anything clever I should be doing with filament change macros (since klipper doesn't support M600), or is just firing off a pause perfectly functional? (And then manually resuming after swapping?)

Contemplated throwing Marlin on my Neptune 2S but then saw that you have to compile it yourself and add the configs oh and also recompile and reflash if you add a BL Touch so I'm on stock until I crawl out from my closet.

Any idea why an Ender 3 V2 running klipper would randomly just stop printing 2 hours into a print? I pulled the Klippy log to see if it gives anything useful, and below is the snip from just before the issue. Has anyone seen "Got error -1 in write: (19)No such device" before? Nothing comes up when I google it. Makes me thing USB, but nothing rules out the control board or power loss. code:

Some kind of connection issue (flaky cable/connector?): Got error -1 in write: (19)No such device Looks like your print-ending-event: Filament Sensor btt_smart: runout event detected, Time 28205.27 Followed by: Exiting SD card print (position 5548524) My guess is that your filament sensor sent a false positive about filament runout which aborted (rather than paused?) the print. If it happens again with the same message I'd replace the filament sensor. Or see if you can set the condition to trigger a pause rather than full abort. Weird connection issues could be (wild speculation ahead) caused by voltage spikes on your PSU causing multiple things (usb connection, filament sensor) to malfunction
