  • Autodesk Fusion 360 is moving it's cloud storage to Fusion Hub. Upgrading is Mandatory

    Jump

  • You should take a gander at the weekly 1.1 Dev version. So much extra goodness!

    I do NOT recommend it for serious use. Like all development software stability can be up and down. But man, I do like it!

  • Kind of sort of. It's seems to be OK for 2D CAM like routers or lasers. I wouldn't want to try even a barely complex multi axis part in a machining center.

  • Sheryl Crow says goodbye to her Tesla and donates to NPR: 'You have to decide who you are willing to align with'

  • Don't be a dick and ruin a stranger's things just because.

    Still, those early adopters weren't the people making $45,000 a year. It's not like they can/could afford a new $60,000 car. Anybody buying a Tesla is solidly upper middle class. And often are DINO's politically. And they can live comfortably if they aren't too busy trying to maintain an image.

  • 3DBenchy Sets Sail into the Public Domain

    Jump

  • Not being mean spirited, but I suspect NTI's lawyers looked at it and decided that the benchy wasn't worth trying to defend in court. That horse had left the barn long ago. And it will buy some good will for at least a little while.

  • Two Years Later, This Awesome 3D-Printed Film Camera Is Available to All

    Jump

  • This project is not for me either, but I will not criticize it nor those that want to build it. You could do that also at no effort or cost to yourself.

    Sometimes it's not the end results that matters the most. But rather the journey it took to get there.

  • What is your ideal ambient humidity?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's -11F/-24C right now and the humidistat is saying it's 22% right now. Usually, in the summer time humidity ranges from 50% to 75%. But I have stored filaments like PLA and even PETG open on a shelf without care for over a year. Even now, the boxes they are stored in are not air tight.

    I have never need to dry PLA and I do dry PETG occasionally if I really need that super clean print. Otherwise I just either manually remove the slight stringing of the PETG or I totally ignore it. I do keep a spool of TPU around and I do dry that before use. But it seems to holds up well for several weeks just hanging on the printer.

  • The Shotgun Method

    Jump

  • That's the cool thing about medicine, you don't "do" medicine-- you practice medicine.

    And anytime you prescribe a drug, you are starting a trial. Because you really don't know how it will do to that one patient. Experience may tell you that it should do what you expect it to do, (because it almost always does). But it could only partially work or do nothing, or have varying side affects, or even kill you patient.

    As an ER director of a hospital once told me, "Despite all we think we know and all we think we can do for a patient. It still mostly boils down to keeping the patient amused and letting nature take it's course."

  • Are 3D-printed objects waterproof?

    Jump

  • It's the number of walls you print that will determine just how long the box will hold the water in or out. I find 4 walls to be about as water tight as I need. But I'm not sealing anything valuable either.

    Edit to add: This would be an excellent need for that brick layer printing to be used. The offset layers would provide far better sealing than the standard layer method we commonly use.

    Welcome ex-Redditors!

  • Yep. The few I see are easily ignored. Or poked if you want to set them off.

  • Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt

    Jump

  • Still got to have the money. And police departments need to have budget to replace equipment.

    I have been elected to a city council several times and have gone over police budgets and it was no easier for the police to get money replace a squad car or get any of the "goodies" you think are so easy to them to get. There is only so much money to be had in any city budget.

  • Let me introduce you to 'We ain't got no money to buy anything' trick.

  • Replaced by who? And where is the profit in selling something to someone who has no money to buy?

  • You act like you don't understand police departments need grants to buy those things also.

  • Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt

    Jump

  • That's unlikely. You need to get grants from the federal government, chiefly the DHS, to get money to buy major equipment. There ain't anymore federal grants remember. Small volunteer, (70% of all fire depts in the US), services are especially reliant on those grants to replace major assets.

    Source: Been on committees to spec and buy ambulances and fire trucks and turnout gear. Even boots and gloves sometimes.

  • Bambu lab A1 mini alternative?

    Jump

  • I would not trust Crealty. They have a long ways to go to get over the "We don't care about customers" And the "We got your money, now get out of here. You bother me kid" mentality. They've sold too much junk for too long.

  • Bambu lab A1 mini alternative?

    Jump

  • The X smart 3 is no longer available. Much to my sadness, I was going to buy one and it's no longer available. Not surprising due to most consumers wanting bigger and bigger printers.

    There are really only choices in this size range any more that are actually decent. There are a couple of 'build it yourself' models out there, but most won't want to be bothered to do so. So the A1 Mini and the Prusa Mini are about it. It would be nice if someone else stepped up an made a good budget 1803 sized printer.

    And yes, sadly I did end up with the Bambu Mini.
