Spent the morning practicing some sculpting instead of my normal CAD work. Currently printing the results after some changes my daughter wanted. Every capybara needs boba I guess. #3dprinting

Here is something more belt printer style. Example 45x45 cube. Haven't put anything on it, just made it up in CAD. Would be very annoying to print on a regular printer and have everything fit right.

What kind of theme? What should be the stand out feature on it for a belt printer, 90 degree overhang? I uploaded a more bed adhesion/flexy style test print. But have never tried it on a belt printer. www.printables.com/model/114802...

I would say it’s not as strong as polylite, but is stronger than polyterra. The print finish is very nice like polyterra. Have yet to combine it with other filaments, but I should run a flow test to see the limits.

Having used TT for years, I haven’t seen any “control” of the algo just pure automation based on engagement. When people make claims without showing evidence, we use to call this a conspiracy. I guess their meta stocks were taking too much of a hit.
020
Joe - IT in 3DP @joescalon.xyz · 17/01/2025
I would say TikTok is better than meta, X, YT shorts, and the algo actual works and shows content/creators you actually engage with. As for “data” it’s a public website and app uses US servers unlike so many other Chinese apps that aren’t in this ban.

From the collection I saw, maybe half are exclusives and just add on props, others marked as remix. Did report one obvious remix “for tpu”, that was marked exclusive.

Yes this brings to mind politics, but not one side vs another, but elites in government vs common people. With basically a conspiracy theory and no public evidence, it was a bipartisan ban, because the government can’t control what people share or see, unlike meta and alphabet.

On discord someone saw the update notes and said that would push them to buy a Core One. My response, “Sometimes the best advertisement is your competition.”

New benchmark model. Uploaded a model to test bed adhesion, print-in-place, print tolerances, and flexy model overhangs. Great way to double check your filament settings will work with a new brand of filament. www.printables.com/model/114802... #3dprinting

Want to make your own custom backlit wall art? I just uploaded a new model with a guide to @thangs3d.bsky.social. Requires a 208mm or larger print bed, up to 2 meter LED strip, only 2 color changes, and bring your own image/SVG(comes with starter SVGs). than.gs/m/1237808?im... #3dprinting #wallart

Is this purge amount after using “long retract” as well? I’ve dramatically cut down my purge with long retracts on.

Joe - IT in 3DP @joescalon.xyz · 25/11/2024
I thought they were working on a new open standard, which is honestly what every “open source” printer from major brands has been the last couple years, it’s like 90% open. For price isn’t it just taking mk4 price bracket and repairable, private, and 0.9 steppers?
