Listerine posted:Anyone have purchasing experience with Printed Solid, the official US reseller of original Prusa equipment? I would like to think that they are painless to use since Prusa acquired them specifically for US sales, but who knows. I've ordered a lot of filament and some Prusa parts from them. They're great.

I buy all my filament from them, I love the transition rolls they sell at a discount.

I just ordered some glow in the dark PLA. That's the kind that chews up nozzles, isn't it?

Glow in the dark chews extruder gears and hotend cold zones too, not quite as fast as the nozzle but it's definitely something to watch for.

Man it's a weird feeling being like an hour and a half from home in a city I've never been to running a booth and I've had multiple people come up and say "oh hey I've bought from you before on Etsy" Brand recognition!

Now find a funny/ unique shirt to wear and you are golden. I have a Fred Flintstone pattern dress shirt that people easily recognize, and remember from show to show. Hawaiian Bowling Shirts for Men Short Sleeve Printed Regular Fit Summer Beach Casual Button Down Aloha Shirts https://a.co/d/bVFps3i It makes it easy for people to find your table, and I am just now after a year of it starting to have people remember stuff from show to show. Helps when there are other printer businesses around too I'm also at a Cannabis festival this weekend and people are going ape poo poo Roundboy fucked around with this message at 10:19 on Apr 21, 2024 |

kid sinister posted:How will that screw up prints if you don't mind me asking? Abrasive wear on the nozzle changes the profile of it over time as it gets ground down. More stringing is a common issue I believe, and the opening can get larger which messes with extrusion and accuracy in general. Your gcode gets generated with a 0.4 nozzle in mind, while the nozzle opening slowly grows larger as the tip gets worn down. I image you'd also get worse and worse bed levelling / z height if you have a printer that doesn't physically touch the nozzle to printbed. "Lower quality" prints, in a lot of small ways. Not sure what the effects are on other components, but worn extruder gears will start slipping more often, causing underextrusion.

I'm seriously considering building a 300x300 Voron 2.4, is this a real dumb idea? I'm already familiar with electronics work/embedded development, and I have 3 other printers already (custom enders and anycubic kobras).

Same. It took me about a week full-time to get everything assembled. That’s was almost a year ago, and I’m still tuning it. OP, even though you seem to be in the latter camp, the old caveat about the purpose of your hobby stands: do you want to do 3D printing or 3D printering (a portmanteau of “3D printer” and “tinkering”, ain’t I clever)? e: the thread moves fast gbut fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Apr 21, 2024 |

Want to start using my printer(Anet A8) I've barely touched in years again. Since I'm feeling paranoid I kinda want to upgrade its safety features, particularly a fire alarm on or nearby. Yall recommend anything in particular? Ideally something fairly cheap that can do phone alerts so I can feel comfortable going to sleep while it's running.

I do enjoy the tinkering aspect about equally to actually printing things. I don’t tend to like printing things that just collect dust so I print a lot of organizational stuff and enclosures/cases for my electronics projects, though I’m starting to get more requests from others to print stuff for money.

Might just be my bad memory, but I think that printer in particular might have had a recall level fire risk FYI

Dogg am I acting like it's not a risk? I just want to be able to catch something right as it happens in the unlikely event that it does. And yeah I've read about anet fire risks, thus my posting. Already replaced some chip years ago to improve power draw and I got an alternate power supply and fuse/switch assembly I never got around to installing. Id start over with something newer and nicer but I can't justify that much money when I don't use the one I already got.

Eschatos posted:Id start over with something newer and nicer but I can't justify that much money when I don't use the one I already got. The 3D printing world has moved quickly since then, and the A6 wasn't anything special even back then. It comes down to what you actually want to do with it -- if your goal is to specifically tune up your old A6 and finish a project you started years ago then go for it, but if you're more focused on the quality of the finished product for use or display, I'd say you're going to waste a lot less tuning time and test-print material and upgrade installation effort if you put the A6 aside and look at modern printers.

The best way to make an A8 safe is to dismantle it and cast the parts to the far corners of the Earth so it can never be reassembled.

Gonna add on to this, not only are trident kits more expensive, but they’re also out of stock almost everywhere. What is it about the trident BOM that makes it harder to source? The Z screws?

The z screws, yes, are the reason for the height limit and the (lack) of availability and price. It's hard to get quality ones of that size I desperately need to either build this ERCF (which is undergoing so many changes I'm prob out of date parts wise) or I need to source a filament sensor. I am reliant on my Bambu to do the same that I'm getting burned when I only have 90% of the total needed on a spool. Sucks on big prints
