  • Thoughts on Mattercad / alternative?

    Jump

  • I tried it back in the day and wasn't impressed by it. But I used CAD professionally before hand also. So I expect more powerful software.

  • There are a few speculative ideas on faster than light travel. Such as worm holes, quantum tunneling, and super fluid vacuum theories.

    Are they real in the sense that we can know how they can work today? Nope. But lots of ideas we take for granted today were "impossible" not that long ago. The fact that real physicists are even thinking about those possibilities could lead to something in the future.

  • No, no you shouldn't get a terrorism charge for that. That makes you no better than the maga ass clown that did it. The charges are fitting for what happened.

  • FreeCad in docker

    Jump

  • The most recommended youtube FreeCAD instructor is https://www.youtube.com/@MangoJellySolutions. He has an extensive series that can take you from literally how to set things up and how to begin your first part and sketch to designing airfoils. And he stays current with the stable releases and a few peeks into the weekly releases.

  • Anyone use Bambu Lab Cool Plate

    Jump

  • With the super tack cool plate Bambu recommends removing the print while warm. Don't wait for the bed and part to cool. And DON'T wipe with IPA. Soap and water only when needed.

    I bought one when they were on sale just before Christmas. It's not a plate I intend to use a lot. Any part that has a good flat base isn't meant to be printed on the super tack plate. Only those designs sketchy bed adhesion at best and can't be printed with supports.

    I did use it to print a storage sheath for a fillet knife I have. I was very impressed that I was able to print a rectangular hollow tube with 2mm wide base and 165mm tall vertically with no supports or brim. It was a fine test of my skills as a designer, printer calibration, and the super tack.

  • Designed a simple photo frame on FreeCad. Why are some layers peeling in my print?

    Jump

  • "Preferred" doesn't mean "all the time". But chamfers are easier to get nicer results with the majority of the time because they are easier for the printer to make.

    Jump

  • Avoid fillets and use chamfers if at all possible. Fillets will often call for printing supports or just look bad. But the common 45 degree chamfer will be easily printed and look better when done.

    Chamfers are to be preferred over fillets.

  • Yes. It pulls the surface heat out faster. But, the lakes have been frozen over for weeks now, (18" on the lake I live next to-- we are driving pickup trucks on it to go ice fishing).

  • The trees don't "explode" but young spindly trees can shatter if the conditions are just right, (and they are not right now). It's very rare to have happen.

  • It's not a common thing. And they don't "explode" as much as shatter. It does require enough sap to be up in the tree trunks too. And our trees are too smart to let that happen for the most part. But it can and does happen sometimes to thin spindly young trees.

    It's been pretty cold up here in far northern Minnesota since last Wednesday. With morning temps at -25F, -30F, -30F and -35F this morning. The high yesterday was -15F and a high of -5F today. It's not the very low temps that bother anyone up here, it's the windchill that will kill you. Yesterday, the wind chills were running -35F to -60F. Which can cause frostbite to exposed skin in 5 minutes or less and possibly kill you very quickly.

    On the upside, at these temps large amounts of snowfall are almost impossible. So I won't need to start a tractor and plow the mile and a half to the nearest plowed road.
