I've used 0.2mm nozzles for dnd minis, it works well enough for those made for printing without supports. Even did 0.05mm layer height and that looked pretty drat smooth.

Arcsech posted:Are y’all FDM printing with 0.2mm nozzles? I haven’t been able to get even really acceptable results with a 0.4mm nozzle for minis, though it works pretty well for terrain. I used a .4, but you have to slow the machine way down and do a couple of other settings. The mini came out great for an FDM printer.

My understanding is you can get decent minis out of a Bambu if you use a .25 nozzle instead of the default .4 one.

I'm not familiar with the way licenses work. If something on Thingiverse has this license, does that mean I can print it and sell it? Or does the license only apply to the file itself?

if i’ve got a bunch of 3D-print-tailored CAD designs and want to sell them, which platform should i go with? cults3d is my default here, maybe turbosquid? what else is there with a decent userbase also: how hard is it to stack points on printables? i have a ton of mature designs i’ve never released- project folder says about 80 multi-part projects, with most of them being printed and iterated repeatedly so they’re actually decent irl designs. i still don’t have an FDM printer, and i’m like… maybe i could just publish everything and (if i get a couple hits) cash out on a prusa printer in a couple months… or at least keep me flush with filament for a bambu acquired the usual way.

Just a heads up about cults you need to sell a min amount to even initiate a transfer so if you have a design people buy but not enough, it's going to sit in limbo a bit.

I got some extra money, and I decided it was time to replace my ye-olde printer with something bigger & better. My budget was sub 400€, and I wanted something with klipper, so Bambu Lab was out. That left me with Creality Ender-3 V3 KE / Sovol SV07 Plus / Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus, and in the end I went with Elegoo. Finally I can print faster than 50mm/s!

Buy the sv06 plus and put klipper on it. The sv07 is kind of trash and ends up having MCU disconnect errors.due to lovely build on the computer portion. Honestly just klipper something yourself for $50 in bits.

sweet. One caveat is that some of the stuff i'm selling is extremely industry-specific and there might only be a few thousand people in the world who'd be interested (but at a high price point because it's a business asset kinda thing), and i'd like to be able to sell physical prints of those specifically. so if there's a platform that allows actual prints *or* CAD files for sale, that'd be ideal, but I don't think I've run into that before.

Is there a more industry specific chanel you could go through? Seems like this might be the sort of thing to reach out to a dental tech company (or whatever) and middleman it through them.

One of these is fine for resin, right? I've got a 4" duct + inline fan to vent it to the outside.

Ethics_Gradient posted:One of these is fine for resin, right? I've got a 4" duct + inline fan to vent it to the outside. Fumes from resin printing come from more than just the time it's actually printing. After your printer is done printing, you still need to do all the post processing, which often times can create more fumes than the process of printing itself (since you'll be working with your still uncured resin piece out in the open, as well as whatever your cleaning solution of choice is). It's usually recommended to get a tent that can fit not just your printer, but the rest of your workflow. Often times, that means getting a taller grow tent and turning it sideways to fit your printer, wash and cure stations, and have enough space to post process.

How do ya'll keep track of all the stls you may want to print & ideas for prints? I'm just getting into this and finding that I'm getting and seeing hundreds of pre-made stls and thinking of tons of useful things I could try and find/build something for, but I have no clue how to keep it all organized.

A well organized folder structure on my hard drive. Why yes I do have 3 folders named, "Household", under different higher tier folders. No I do not know which one I will use for the next file for something that you would find in the home-goods section.

I try to make sure folders and files are named fairly descriptively, and assuming a Windows environment, I use "Everything" to search for stuff. It's a really quick and powerful little tool that will pull up words, combinations of words, and partials pretty much in real time. https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/ As far as the actual decision making process... I find myself vapor locked a lot because I have SO many projects I want to do and not enough time to do them all. That's probably not very helpful, I recommend not using that method if possible.

Thanks for all the advice. My kiddo and I both are really enjoying everything in about this so far, but drat is the flood of things we want to complete getting large.

I actually use directory opus as an explorer replacement, and their search is like this little tool on crack so I’m glad I have something similar to use.

Just finished up another fully 3d printed r/c car by 3dsets.com https://imgur.com/gallery/olSRDOQ Really nice 240z model. This is the 3rd model he's designed that I've printed and they are outstanding models. Incredible attention to detail, full instruction set and very easy to print. If you like r/c cars at all his site is worth a look if you want to print one.

So if I were to build an enclosure for my printer in order to print with filament that makes toxic fumes when printing, would making the side of it into a corsi-rosenthal box be sufficient to filter the bad stuff out? I plan to move my printer to my basement and have a separate air purifier running in the same room as the printer, as well as the enclosure having a filter built in, assuming this makes sense and isn't a waste of time/effort/money

It's theoretically possible but to be absolutely sure you're actually filtering out all the bad stuff you have to know exactly WHAT the bad stuff is, then get in to the chemistry of removing it via specific filters. Activated charcoal or whatever isn't a magical "it all goes away" substance and smell isn't indicative of air being safe. In my mind the only truly safe way is external ventilation, and that works for basically everything as a bonus. No chemistry degree necessary.

I guess if you have an apartment balcony or something that reasonably shelters the machine from rain/etc. put it there?

Not an option for most, but I’ve got mine in an old boiler room in the basement. It has ventilation that is separate from the rest of the building and has a fireproof door and concrete walls, floor and ceiling. Keeps the noise in as well. I also have an air quality meter that stores the measurement history there to see how VOC peak and dissipate when I print things. It hasn’t really shown that high peak values though, except when I’ve been dosing acetone for vapor smoothing of ASA.

From my reading it seems like this kind of setup should be sufficient with active fans to push/pull air. Especially if your enclosure is well sealed. hark posted:I'm probably gonna cut a hole in the side of my house out of the basement and vent the enclosure/dry box I'm gonna build out of there. Then I'll keep the air purifier on down there for good measure. I don’t think an air purifier would be capable of filtering out much VOCs or anything from 3d printing. They’re generally designed around removing dust and pollen from the air. Even ones advertised as having HEPA filters wouldn’t be enough for ABS and the like. This is an ad for this company, but the information seems mostly truthful. https://molekule.com/blogs/all/the-best-air-purifier-for-3d-printer-fumes-and-other-pollutants There’s also the fact that inside a basement space there isn’t much airflow, so anything the printer spits out would saturate the room pretty well before an air purifier would catch anything. Maybe eventually it’d get some but I wouldn’t rely on it.

I keep mine in the garage and don't worry about it much. Ventilation is that I open the garage door for thirty seconds when I go driving somewhere. It only smells bad in there when I'm printing and the resin is actively curing, and I wear a respirator when I'm working with the minis fresh off the printer.

Once-through filtration may or may not be effective, but I'd trust it far less than something that recirculates. A mostly-saturated filter is going to continue working in recirculation, while a once-through is going to drop off in effectiveness WRT VOCs specifically once its activated carbon component has had its fill.

Man, textured build sheets are awesome. If you don’t have one, get one. I grabbed a Prusa textured sheet to print MK3.5 parts on for that nice factory finish, and these parts look amazing. I’m changing accent colors during the upgrade, and going away from orange to something more interesting. Hopefully I have time this weekend to tear the thing apart and put it back together.

I'm considering using the old board and LCD on a dead old Monoprice frame if I can get the motors and heated bed/etc. wired up to it correctly and flash an unofficial modified Marlin on it. The original Melzi board on that old frame was woefully underpowered for running it and I bet that would be a fun frankenprinter build since I theoretically have everything I need already for it. Only bad thing is identifying the bed probe correctly so it triggers during the leveling sequence... but I'll figure that out when I start that project.

Oddly specific question but has anyone re-printed the prusa x end parts (motor / idler) in ABS and had them be slightly too small? I'm wondering if I scaled them to 103% if it would solve the smooth rods breaking the parts.
