Let filament hell begins
  • I just started messing around with ASA on my i3 clone (Monoprice maker select plus aka wanhao i3 plus) while printing parte for my 2.4. I did make a cardboard enclosure for my printer and had to reprint my bed thumbscrews and cooler in ASA, but otherwise it pretty well. I treated it the exact same as PETG, other than bumping temps. I was honestly pretty surprised. Yeah, the prints aren't perfect, but I also spent zero time tuning the printer for ASA beyond a PID tune.

    I reverse-engineered all Timex Datalink watches and devices, the Notebook Adapter, and the CRT graphics in Ruby!
  • I owned one of these watches on the 90s in am ironman form factor. IIRC it was basically a rolodex (named and phone numbers), which was surprisingly useful before cellphones were mainstream.

    What is every here printing with?
  • Voron crew! Granted, you're much further along than I am. Currently working on wiring my first Voron - a 2.2r2. Before that I've had a monoprice maker select plus (a rebranded wanhao) for > 5 years.

    Is there a dedicated voron space in the fediverse?

    The simplest device that might reasonably be called an orrery. Made it a few years ago for my daughter.
  • For anyone else who might be wondering:

    An orrery is a mechanical model of the Solar System that illustrates or predicts the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons, usually according to the heliocentric model.

    Making an orrery like this would probably open a rabbit hole with my kids, but that might not be a bad thing.

    Beyond PLA and ABS?
  • I've printed primarily in PETG for a few years now and just started printing voron parts in ASA. ASA is way more rigid than PETG, but PETG will yeild more than ASA before breaking.

    Is this new? Latest roll of filament came on a cardboard spool
  • 2 of 2 polymaker 1 kg spools I've purchased (from Amazon) arrived with dents along their outer lip. I bent them back and, although the result wasn't perfect, didn't have any problems. It does have rethinking my spool holder design so they rotate around their inner lip though.
