    What 3D printing project are you working on today?

    I just did a remix and posted it (which I rarely do): Sugar & Salt Measured Dispenser & Pourer - Also for Neti-Pot Solution - Mason Jar Lid https://www.printables.com/model/1322406-sugar-salt-measured-dispenser-pourer-also-for-neti

    High Temp PLA - Polymaker HT-PLA

    more info: (also, I think it's the glass reinforced that is the most wear on a nozzle)

    High Temp PLA - Polymaker HT-PLA

    Great discussion and excellent points! I'll need to keep an eye on how "abrasive" it is... especially since not all "abrasive" filaments are equally as damaging. (I remember being surprised that my glow-in-dark filament was abrasive). From what I understand, PETG isn't much more heat-resistant...

    High Temp PLA - Polymaker HT-PLA

    Once I have a need to use it, I'll report back... but in the interim, here's a lot of data in these videos:

    I saw this video and decided to get a roll to give it a try! Polymaker High Temp (HT) PLA https://polymaker.com/ht-pla_ht-pla-gf/

    Struggling with reverse engineering for 3D printing. What are your go-to tools?

    I use my digital calipers a LOT! If it's something really tricky, I'll take a photo from very high up, then zoom in (for least distortion) and follow these videos for onshape: Also:

    Thoughts on OrcaSlicer for 3D Printing?

    I have a couple of times and liked it. In fact, a few times it resolved a printing issue that CURA couldn't fix... but I had to use a microSD card. ... that said, until either of these happen, I'm sticking with CURA: 1) Orca, etc. support direct USB printing 2) I own a printer that supports...

    Bambu Labs H2D _ At last an actual test

    Thanks for posting! I've been holding out for a larger Bambu printer... and this one coming with "all the things" may be the final thing to push me over the hump to finally spend the pennies I've been saving and upgrade from my Ender 3 V3 SE. ... but I also really don't love getting the first...

    Bambu Labs competition

    Yup... no "must have" items yet. ... I wouldn't "mind" an enclosed faster printer that prints higher-temps. That said, I just looked up the specs for my Ender 3 V3 SE and forgot that it *should* be able to print PETG and ABS without modification?

    Bambu Labs competition

    Yup, while there are a LOT of Bambu clones/copies, it seems that very few (any?) are as solid and reliable? There's been a lot of buzz about the Elegoo Centauri Carbon... especially the price. I'm a big fan of https://auroratechchannel.com/ and her detailed reviews that seem very unbiased...

    Thoughts on OrcaSlicer for 3D Printing?

    yes... but how do you really feel about CURA??? LOL! ;) For me, it's not that bad because: 1) It's what I learned on and easy for me to use, so when I go to other slicers, they seem almost overly complicated / learning-curve 2) I've had pretty good success / happy with the results 3) It...

    Thoughts on OrcaSlicer for 3D Printing?

    I wish it was only that. Unfortunately it's what's built into the core of the software and if it supports USB port printing vs. LAN / network printing, etc. For the most part I do just fine with CURA. There have been a few times where I've had models that no matter what I do, they have weird...

    Thoughts on OrcaSlicer for 3D Printing?

    I think about switching from Cura to Orca slicer a lot. In fact, Angus is a big fan (and I really respect him). ... BUT, Cura is able to print direct to my Ender 3 V3 SE via USB, and since the vast majority of my prints are quick/tiny, it's just way too easy to send them via USB than any other...

    Somebody who can help me to print something in 3D ?

    Wow, awesome! Excellent work @The Hat !!!

    What Are You Printing Today?

    Yup, attached... and here's a link to the Onshape where I created it (so you can edit if you want): https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8f7049bf3b8cb524d70830aa/w/987f4ad6fe236320eba3a107/e/03dd903e6da12036ebf7e7a0?renderMode=0&uiState=679a86fda4c37d7637fe1bea
