@tommy_prusa3d 3:00am for me - hopefully you’ll have it on you tube by breakfast time!

Just realised the time somehow got lost. It's at 16:00 GMT+1

Hey everyone! Just a heads-up that the Printables Awards 2025 kicks off tomorrow at (GMT+1). Join us for the global premiere of this year’s awards. We’re broadcasting the official reveal of the winners and showcasing the platform's best designs, so come watch it play out in real-time with the community and join me there on the chat! Link to be posted in comments once available. #printables #prusa3d #prusa #3dprinting

@tommy_prusa3d Is this the only publicity? No email or log post or have I missed earlier notices?

@joeltelling (works MOST of the time!) 😊

@joeltelling I know I posted this last time you noted this issue (and I don't disagree with you) - If you pop the spool off and twist it a couple of times in the opposite direction of the twist, it's sufficient to hold the filament in place for the rest of the spool.

The auto retraction on a CORE One when loading a brand new spool of filament sometimes does this. Are there any mods to alleviate this?

@tommy_prusa3d @MattStultz @themitch22 I know I'm one of a few who actually watched, but I do miss them.

@MattStultz @themitch22 I'm strongly thinking of starting a much less formal one with occasional visits from the more known faces, with a bigger focus on guests. Think that would be something interesting?

It's funny the things you find when you clean your basement.

@CanuckCreator @Prusa3D Does that mean you could put two-one kg spools on for handy manual colour swaps or end-of-spool experiences? 🤔

So heres a dumb cool thing thats kinda neat once you use it The 2 part spool holder on the @Prusa3D Core One L means you put printers closer together than with a 1 peice one when using 2kg spools since you dont need as much clearance clarence

@MandicReally @Prusa3D "I can’t justify buying a machine that has printed parts, but I will buy one with any other kind of unknown inferior plastic just because it's from a mould!"

I’ll never get the “@Prusa3D uses printed parts, I can’t justify buying a machine that has printed parts” argument when the ‘machine’ is a #3dprinter you will use to produce 3d prints… Way to ruin your own idea to use printed parts by saying YOU wouldn’t buy anything printed. 👍🏻

@DougGJoseph That's a bit harsh! Ryobi batteries come with a 3 or 5 year warranty, and if you read the documents linked, the software (bug) is in a circuit designed to brick the battery if one of the batteries is out of sync - which is what ultimately leads to fires!

@joeltelling @ZombieHedgehog_ As I was saying - unwind a meter or so and take the twist out before loading and it is less likely to happen - I *think*

@joeltelling @ZombieHedgehog_ It would be painful if you don't catch it. I am now in the habit of "untwisting" a new spool - take it off and give it a few turns anti clockwise to take the twist out. I *think* it's caused by not unwinding the filament before loading, slipping (continued)

PSA for those with a Core One! I did notice this once but didn't think much of it.

@V1Engineering @ZombieHedgehog_ Light and rigid - that's why Amazon ships stuff in lightweight cartons not 2" thick pine boxes! 😀

@ZombieHedgehog_ Glue and brad nails so I can move it while it dries to keep assembling. It is far more rigid /solid than I expected.

New base for the full sheet LowRider 4. Might swap out the wheels but otherwise lots of material storage.

To celebrate my 250th model on @printablescom here's a little something for the https://forum.v1e.comcommunity which has taught me so much! Thanks heaps to all in both places!! printables.com/model/1457438-…

If you already have a drill press and really don't need another "occasional" tool - after completing a small batch of 100 inserts I can confirm my little adapter works remarkably well! printables.com/model/1454831-…

Sam has just secured is place as the best Peter Plate designer to date!

@SameOldShane I hate to be that person (actually in this case I love it!) but it frightened the "o" out of too as well! "way to much" - Sorry, sorry sorry... I won't do it again! 🫣

A spooky circus so scarey, it frighten an "r" off the word horror. I'm laughing way to much in public over this.

@cyanidesugar_ My planet is full of landfill appliances which have been replaced because a better model came out. I completely agree with your sentiment, so every year or two I have a non-hobby related task of upgrading stuff so I can get back to the business in hand with a clear conscience !

My hobby is ‘printing things’, not ‘build printer to print things’

@tommy_prusa3d @Prusa3D @prusament @printables @PrusaGuy @TheZuza Well if I could get there I would! But I am secretly building the rollers, and need just a little more info before I add the extra sauce at the back! 😉

@bitingmidge @Prusa3D @prusament @printables @PrusaGuy @TheZuza Formnext tends to be a pretty busy time for us is all I can say

Almost finished the @Prusa3d CoreOne base. MDF and a surprising number of bits in @prusament . Will post details on @Printables when it's done. The filament racks are in, the electrical bits for the drying cupboard are waiting for #MMU4! 🤪

@tommy_prusa3d @Prusa3D @prusament @printables @PrusaGuy @TheZuza I am yet to fit the fold-down shelf for the dryer so I can feed direct to the standard position - just waiting for the paint to dry!

@tommy_prusa3d @Prusa3D @prusament @printables @PrusaGuy @TheZuza Thanks, in short, yes. There's enough room for eight spools and wiggle room for buffers for an MMU3, but being the optimistic type, I'll wait until (tell me it's November! 🤣) to finalise how that (and dry air circulation) works for the next gen. For now it's storage.
