If you run a 3D printer you should have a CO2/VOC/Formaldehyde detector. This thing was red across the board after a night of printing. Opening a window for about 10 minutes dropped everything into the safe zone.

@Adam_V3D Programming cnc tool paths, loading stock material, and establishing a datum is too time consuming for casual use. And all the cool cnc parts require refixturung. You’ve got to ask yourself is the upgrade from plastic to cnc aluminum worth the extra 10x-100x time investment?

When I got the Carvera Air I honestly thought I'd be using it all the time, but I've not used it once since I got it. Do you have this machine, or something similar? What do you make?

Walking around the Makers Hub at #TCTAsia and came across an infinite belt retrofit solution for the @BambulabGlobal P series printers. Making the machine toward continuous printing workflows. 🤔 Interesting.

uhg, the @snapmaker U1 keeps trying to print 2 random lines (they are not just travel lines) that go out of bounds. The print keeps failing when it gets there. Any thoughts?!

Bondtech@BondtechAB·
Last week we said goodbye to our beloved mascot, Zita. For many years, Zita – the little Maltese Shih Tzu – brightened every corner of Bondtech as she made her daily rounds through all departments. Whether she was jumping into an empty chair for a nap, staring patiently until someone noticed her, or rolling on the floor hoping for a cuddle, she always brought smiles to our team. She will be deeply missed by everyone at Bondtech, but we take comfort in knowing she is in a better place now. Zita was more than just a mascot – she was part of the Bondtech family, and she will never be forgotten. 🐾❤️

@Slant3D Actually, yeah, most external surfaces get some mild texture applied. Designers can be picky about which textures they use and how fine the grain is.

@NathanBuilds Knurling is premium finish. Wood is a premium finish. Molded parts are required to be smooth or they can't eject. Printing gives premium surfaces for free

Nearly every 3d printing service fails because they can make anything.

I’m waiting for the 3D printer buybacks. Some of us will make a small fortune

I tried. No politician would listen. @loyalmoses tried. No politician would listen. Others tried. No politician would listen. WA HB 2320 has been sent to the governor to sign into law. I have no doubt he will sign it. Once this is law, it sets precedent for similar bills in other states. THIS makes the slope very slippery.

@Slant3D Designing for the process goes a long way, but two issues that are not solved to my knowledge: 1) Cosmetic parts often require polished mold-quality surfaces. 2) Additive parts show more fatigue scatter, which forces drastically thicker geometry in safety-critical applications.

@Slant3D I work at a company that injection molds parts in the 10k-100k range and I have been looking for 3DP part candidates. I may get a few into production this year, but someone of the harder problems to solve are tolerances, surface finish, load bearing capacity, and repeatability.

@NathanBuilds Printing has been cheaper than molding for 5 years. But no one recognizes the cost of not iterations, shipping, lost inventory and warehousing. Teleport ships any product in under two days. And you can ship 10000 per day. Molding is dead. It just doesn't know it.

@HoffmanTactical @Polymaker_3D Unlikely From gpt: Even with unusually fast flow and lower melt viscosity, you often still get something like: Re = 0.001-0.01 Internal pipe flow is usually considered laminar below about Re ≈ 2300 •3D printer melt flow is millions of times lower

@Polymaker_3D The latter I believe. Shorter fibers, such as PET-CF17 and PA12-CF don't have this rough finish at all.

Interesting how the fibers always create this rough surface. Would you say it is because the fibers create bump on the surface, or would you say the fiber disturb the extrusion laminar flow creating uneven extrusion (because of a disturbed flow?)

Polymaker HT-PLA-GF をテスト 下がオーソドックスなPLAで、上がHT-PLA ザラザラになってしまいますがこれはガラス繊維が12%も入ってるから 耐熱温度が149度もあるそうで、これなら真夏の炎天下でも曲がらないで済むかも 夏が楽しみ

@Polymaker_3D Extrusion pressure pushes everything outward. Some of the fibers get carried along for the ride.
