3D Printing

[tranquil rivet]

We need a place for this but a new channel is overkill

@leaden meteor

lol

[leaden meteor]

thank you

[leaden meteor]

do makersworld people fw printing rocks

[tranquil rivet]

probably

especially if you make it a multicolor print

lol

they love that

[leaden meteor]

Or these things

[tranquil rivet]

someone would rock with it

[leaden meteor]

This is the thing I’ve done that took the longest and was most difficult

Lots of sanding and painting and gluing but it’s so cool

[tranquil rivet]

what do you model with again

[leaden meteor]

Rhinoceros3D, ZBrush, Houdini SideFX

[tranquil rivet]

right

more sculpture type modeling

lol

[leaden meteor]

yeah

well

rhino isn’t

neither is Houdini really

ZBrush definitely is tho and I used it a lot for that model

[tranquil rivet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Idk i'm too used to parametric CAD

[leaden meteor]

what did you use for the campfire

[tranquil rivet]

Fusion 360 💀

[leaden meteor]

😭😭

We gotta at least get you into sketchup

Even though sketchup sucks ass

[tranquil rivet]

sketchup sucks ass

[leaden meteor]

Maya or 3DS Max would be great

[tranquil rivet]

fair

I might switch off Fusion to Onshape

[leaden meteor]

I’m unfamiliar with Onshape

[tranquil rivet]

https://www.onshape.com/en/

kinda like Fusion

but fully browser based

actually way more than fusion if you actually pay for the pro

they market themselves as an alternative to SolidWorks

which is a HIGH bar for CAD/CAM

[leaden meteor]

hmmmmm

I’ll explore that tomorrow too I’m curious

[tranquil rivet]

i found out abt it cause they sponsored a youtube video of a guy I watch

lol

Have you ever tried shapelab

[leaden meteor]

no

[tranquil rivet]

its 3d modeling

in VR

[tranquil rivet]

@leaden meteor

[leaden meteor]

unbelievable

I’m impressed

[tranquil rivet]

I’ll send a pic when I get home

Of where it touches

I’ll be home in like 3 minutes

[leaden meteor]

where tf were you until now

[tranquil rivet]

Band rehearsal

[leaden meteor]

[tranquil rivet]

@leaden meteor

[leaden meteor]

unreal

and mad impressive

[tranquil rivet]

Bed adhesion game strong

[barren wren]

is this something you created irl

thats crazy cool

[leaden meteor]

yes

[barren wren]

dang

[tranquil rivet]

@leaden meteor

[leaden meteor]

Marvelous

[cerulean flare]

i want a 3d printer

[tranquil rivet]

[tranquil rivet]

i met a guy today

he 3d printed a life size battle droid

[cerulean flare]

they cost a lot of money

i think

i've never checked their price tbh

[leaden meteor]

I’ve seen people do that, it’s so expensive but so cool

[leaden meteor]

Actually insane

[cerulean flare]

that's large

[tranquil rivet]

@leaden meteor

[leaden meteor]

Goated setup

[tranquil rivet]

All the extra spools that couldn’t go on the bookshelf lol

Plus my like gallon of desiccant

[barren wren]

so Organized

[tranquil rivet]

ty

@leaden meteor I'm trying to catalog all my spools and wow this is taking some time 💀

[leaden meteor]

how about just counting them all for starts

do you not have like 40 at least

[tranquil rivet]

57

[tranquil rivet]

sorry no 59

Lord have mercy

well I got all the filament types cataloged I think

not the spools

just the like Brand color mix

[barren wren]

immaculate vibes actually

[tranquil rivet]

@leaden meteor so many spools

[leaden meteor]

too many

[tranquil rivet]

im cataloging them all rn

[leaden meteor]

59?

[tranquil rivet]

we'll see

it's gonna be more

[tranquil rivet]

@leaden meteor fuck

19 of those aren't opened yet

and also 3 are mini 250g spools

that I wasn't counting before

Also

[tranquil rivet]

ok i somehow accidentally saved a spool 3 times

so there were 2 extra in there

i have 70

[leaden meteor]

SEVENTY TWO????

HOLY HELL

[leaden meteor]

Awww ender dragon

[leaden meteor]

Still like 55 too many

[tranquil rivet]

[barren wren]

AAAAA

wait that app is kinda crazy can you like tell it what project you’re working on and it’ll tell you like what you need and where it is

that’s kinda cool

[cerulean flare]

waiting on my 3d printer

[tranquil rivet]

Not quite

It’s like

When I generate the files to print from my slicer, it tells me how much filament it needs

And in that, I can keep track of how much is left on a spool, so I can see if it’s enough

And then I marked like what shelf it’s on so I can grab it easy

Once I get some other stuff setup, I can have it almost keep the filament amount up to date

2 of my printers can get setup like that

My main one can’t really though it seems

So I’d just need to manually update that for the time

Until I make something to make it automatic

[barren wren]

ah okay

that makes sense
