in openscad it would be a difference operation: this is using a skull model I already had on my harddrive. It won't look like much until you run...

Well the idea is sound. But it's such a damn small bit, it's just too fiddly. why the hell couldn't bmg have designed the bloody thing properly in...

pretty easy in openscad. You'd just remove the skull model from the interior of the diamond. Most cad packages should let you do this. ...

yep was going to say to check your filament sensor. Glad you got it fixed. And yes please post any other issues you run into, we don't get much...

wouldn't worry about it - and at least you're grammar will be good :-) It has to be said that this forum does do weird things fairly regularly....

basically as long as the bed is level with the probe - you're food to go. I doubt I have an actually flat surface in my workshop. Plus the...

okay. The short answer is you could grind up unneeded prints. But wthout proper temperature processing of the plastic - which i doubt an add on...

bot ? what bot ;-) haven't donea t-rex skull for about 8 years. was one of the very first prints I did on my original flashforge creator. Great...

well I have a 3 year old - basic delta that will happily print at 150mm/s. So nothing really new there. They've improved all the relevant...

how large is large ? The dremel is a flashforge made machine a couple generations old now. have a look at the flashforge creator 3 - uses...

the short answer is that the lasers are well underpowered - but still strong enough to wipe out your eyeballs and come with zero protective measures....

who's ginger ? Ah okay - looks like an add-on grammar checker. Seems weird that it would keep inderting messages into your posts :-) One quick...

of those two - the flying bear. It's a solid looking build, as far as I can tell. It looks like a bowden extruder, but should be fairly easy to...

And just because, here's the painted helmet: And yes, the beard needs a trim and god knows I need a haircut ! 18 months. Have to get round to...

I suspect an understanding spouse or partner is also an essential !

yep - it's NOT an ender 3. Presumably the video was funded by creality. two reasons. Dual z axis motors and screws and direct drive extruder. You...

well I may not be much good at maths - but I've got pretty good at working round them :-) The minkowski thing was incredibly frustrating until i...

for the record - tpu with steel pins at the hinges - would work really well and be pretty much indestructible. And it really is a three line...

thermal runaway is just to stop the bed and hotend overheating. As far as I can gather the smoke appeared as soon as he turned the machine on. ...

well noise is relative. I've got 6 machines - all different, all making different types and volumes of noise. One sounds like r2d2 - which I...

don't forget to use 'union' Basically union glues everything between it's brackets into a single lump that you can then apply any of the other...

what printer is it ? With some the bowden tube goes all the way to the top of the brass hot end nozzle. So you need to make sure it's really...

I'll email you the stls - print the direct drive extruder on the ender that way you only have to put it together once. You can probably design a...

the sovol 01 is a good machine. meets 2 of the three criteria for prusa design I3's - direct drive and dual z axis motors. Has a healthy...

response is easy - actually helping much harder. Clearly something is either plugged in the wronf socket or the main power wires are crossed. ...

not bad. About the only thing I'd have added would be a way to change the number of magnets and automatically move them about depending on number...

you know there's real money in a machine that can print a working cat !

you're really not reading my posts. I explained the thingiverse confusion, fairly comprehensively - several times.

Pretty much all the car stuff, totally lost on me :-) I literally only used a car analogy because this morning we drove past a ferrari on the road...

why is a ferrari faster than a cheap station wagon ? Design and build quality. okay lets compare and contrast: Sapphire pro2: Quality...
