It is indeed known the correct method of assembly for a nozzle/hot end/heat break/heat sink.
In order to ensure that the heat break is properly sealed to the nozzle, the nozzle should be threaded...
Now that I'm awake, I used Fusion 360 to import both meshes, used Mesh/Modify/Combine and created the attached file. It passes Meshmixer's Inspector.
Hope this is what you wanted. If not, let me...
Okay, that was WRONG. You're asking for the difference and I did a combine. Sheesh. I'll get back on it in the morning.
I selected the Queen component, then performed a plane cut and aligned the cutting plane to the monolith. On execution, I selected both components and performed Combine. The result is attached. There...
Rather than firing up F360 again, I loaded the full STL into Meshmixer and did a "separate shells" then exported each letter to its own file, attached for your viewing pleasure. It's very likely your...
I confirmed that I have Microgramma D Bold Extended typeface installed in my computer. I then started Fusion 360 and started a new sketch on the x/y plane. Selecting Create>Text and dragging out a...
Montana chalk spray (and others) are on Amazon with various colors from which to choose. White is the most common selection, for best reflectivity. The ad copy for this product states that it washes...
TGFT, (may I call you TGFT?), without a clear analysis of the failure mode, one can only make a guess. The photos of the character exhibit specular reflections. The bright dots on the surface can...

First point, one hundred percent infill isn't going to make the part stronger than a lower value. One can have as low as 20 to 25 percent infill and have a fairly strong part, which is more dependent...
yes, the printer will work only with g-code. What Cura does is convert a 3D model from OBJ or STL or 3MF to g-code, which you transfer to the printer. Many other factors to consider and it's good...
You'll probably find that it's more effective to copy the sliced file (g-code) to the memory card and print from that. When you use USB, you're tying up the computer to manage the data that the...
I've been contending with some personal issues and have mostly lost track of the three project assistance projects in which I'm involved. This means that it's critical to drop back to a single...
This forum is a good place to start. I'd be willing to take on the project if you can provide additional information, either in a private message or email. Additionally, there exists a sub-reddit to...
If you have Cura with your printer, it will work, but find out if you can get a printer profile for PrusaSlicer to match your printer. What brand/model printer did you purchase? You have to have the...
Yeah, I figured that they would be too small to measure, but not too small to calculate. If you can provide an accurate outside diameter and a tooth count, I can derive an approximation that is...
Just for the experience, tell me the diameter of the gear in the photo and the number of ridges and if possible the depth of the grooves between the ridges. The grooves do not appear to be...
I’m away from the computer and cannot view the attachments, but the resolution of a filament printer is going to be based on nozzle size, as small as 0.2 or 0.25 mm, while a resin printer can easily...
With dimensions, I can create an STL from an OpenSCAD file, but if it's as small as the last one, it's another challenging print, I'm sure.
For PLA printing, the bed can be from 40°C to 60°C. The lower end isn't too hot, but what can happen is as the bed cools the cat will find it pleasing. Of course, you could build a sheet cover from...
For most printing, PLA especially, there's no risk. Some people will find the odors from ABS and ASA to be problematic.
For the idler project, consider that you can create a CAD type drawing and...
If someone tells you that PLA is as good as nylon, they aren't listening to you or asking you the right questions. PLA is a great hobbyist material, while nylon is better suited when one is creating...
You won't be able to print vinyl, to the best of my understanding, but I think you might mean nylon. To print nylon with a filament printer, you'll need a fully enclosed chamber and an all-metal...
If the axle hole is 1.5 mm that can be easily incorporated into the model code. The same applies to creating a groove or pulley, which would be done by generating a torus and subtracting it from...
