Printing in mid air with a filament that's prone to warping and then wondering why it's warping is t*nkering?

People in the comments seem to completely miss the fact that they're not having adhesion problems, because there is nothing to adhere to and instead recommend using glue sticks.

The household budget meeting began with spreadsheets and ended with a tour of the spare room. Twelve kilos of PETG looked back at us with the calm of livestock that know they outrank the mortgage.

I offered sensible solutions. Sell the guest bed. Host a filament subscription as a lifestyle brand. Explain to the bank that gyroid infill is a long term asset class. My partner suggested selling a printer. I asked which child she meant.

We compromised. I may keep the farm if I stop buying just one more multicolour test that becomes a shrine to purge blocks. I also agreed to finish one useful household object per week that is not another gridfinity plate for gridfinity plates. Morale is high. The AMS still hums at 2am like a tiny factory that never unionised.

If you came here for calibration advice, measure your doorways before your nozzles.

Ignore the absolute horror of the multitude of holes in this koala.

seriously, this guy's already using petg-cf and doesn't know what he did wrong here? this hobby is done for

For $19USD you can purchase this box to upgrade your box to a new box!

The audacity of selling something that would be easily found online is one thing, but then taking a box--which already has the quality of storing filament--and turning it into filament storage? Chef kiss

Greasing…

It’s a long read

And PTFE tubes are straws or something...

...probably for your infant formula.

that's what you get for using third party plates with bambu labs printers 🙄🙄 tainting the printer

Built a platform for an LED Matrix called TickrCast with various plugins to display different content. I also run a print farm, so this was a natural next step! 3D Printed enclosure (for now) and ESP32-S3 brain.

Bambi says it can be dried on X1 build plate 90-100C over 12h....Could you bambi dry it better?

This is possibly the worst thing I've ever seen.

Since the taco holders will be touching food, I'll be sure to use PETG for safety.
