That is what I am inverting in concept
31·3 days agoIt is not sturdy enough as a firing platform. You might pull off some shooting with a .22 or a bb gun, but those are a nuisance more than anything else. The recoil from something like a 9mm would wreck this and send it flying. It could deliver a payload, but so can you at that point.
I didn’t see one, but I didn’t look very hard. It wasn’t in the video when I watched. I’d say $200 is probably way low. That much hardware, bearings, ardy, modules, a few spools, RC controller, wires, connectors, a shield, components, lights, motors, servo… Probably falls somewhere around the $500-$800 range, if you try to buy them all at once and not the piecemeal and partial collections most of us have already. In all likelihood most of us will need at least half that spend to get everything needed. If one did this with Adafruit, McMasters, a US board house, and high quality filament, it could easily top $1k.
Sometimes I get crackling sometimes not but it is still usually moisture. It takes a long time to drive out all the moisture from PETG IME
Each brand and color are technically different. Drying PETG is very important and the cause of most issues with it. The ooze caused by moisture expansion then causes stringing, except PETG is much more sticky than other filaments. This stickiness causes more and thicker strings and wisps than other filaments. These cause more material to get pulled from the tip and they tend to ground themselves harder to whatever they come in contact with. Ultimately these effects lead to inconsistent starts and ends for your perimeter seams and it is this issue that causes ugliness, bad tolerances, and print failures. You can mitigate with drying but if you are not able to print from a dry box, you can lessen the issues by manually placing all of your seams on the inside surfaces of some prints. Indeed I only use PETG when I am designing for it in the CAD phase and I choose PETG only when I can hide the seams manually.

tf is King’s Evil?
15·6 days agoSome cool ideas. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps it is my perspective from isolation due to physical disability, but I think generation ships are way over blown in the negatives. People always adapt to their environmental challenges. Someone raised on a gen ship would likely post You Duct videos on the terrifying openness of planetary life and the unimaginable fear of getting lost in any direction of endless wilderness and monstrous creatures like squirrels, mountain goats, and deer. The idea of nothing securely above you and unconstrained spaces would be terrifying.

Don’t get discouraged. I get where you’re coming from. I don’t follow the news or care about Trump. I see a satirical replying comment, or enough doubt to see it as such, in a situation where text is hard to convey emotional meaning from both people involved.
Personally, I had a crushing failure with a project from around a week ago. I know how it can be rough sometimes. We can all be friends here. And when we can’t, there’s always the block user feature to navigate to a more friendly part of our digital social room on Lemmy.
As a mod, I’m only the lowly janitor. I don’t paint the walls or fix the floors.
As a user, I understand and sympathize.
They haven’t been really open source for a long time. The move away from Merlin’s configurations based software and onto custom code that only a full time dev can effectively modify was a major shot against the roots of RepRap and the community around Adrian Bowyer that Joe was a part of and got him started.
Nothing lasts forever, but the move away from open source officially marks the end of me going out of my way to purchase from them or recommend them.
Long live the kit makers and sources like LDO and Voron. The community created the 3d printing hobby, not the companies, not some guy that throws beer parties with llamas in the Czech Republic.
TPU if it is soft and like gummy/rubbery
I use the stuff for seals some times, but more often it makes the perfect string for cat toys. Put a length on a stick, add some painter’s tape on the end, and wave it around; cats go nuts.
Speaking as a Mod: What is the deal with the Trump comment? That seems uncalled for and random IMO but perhaps I do not understand. I have no issue with your opinion of Trump. I’m wondering why you are accusing someone else of being a “Trump like thinker” that is a pretty hot jab to wield randomly without context.
