@AusQuake pretty decent shake in Melbourne a minute ago.

[Paul Arden @ardenpm]

@JAYTEEAU Yep, just felt it too.

@stlDenise3D First I’d have to upload them again after I pulled them after their last data breach and then pull them again :-)

@metaplexmovies And that Deep Forest collab with Peter Gabriel over the credits caps if all off very nicely.

Had lots of fun adding this new feature to @Onshape Render Studio for the latest release. Purely appearance based so not from G-code. While it won't be as accurate or show things like infill you can use it directly with your model to get a feeling for how it will look 3D printed.

And the box is future proof, I wish I would just tick these and make it appear. Looking forward to high flow.

The sticker almost makes it worth the wait for the @E3DOnline ObXidian :-)

TIL you can get fuzzy skin mode for free if you don’t dry your TPU well enough :-) was drying for quite a long time but then again was stored badly for even longer so it was probably beyond saving easily.

[Paul Arden @ardenpm]

@Lowry3D Currently no cooling but if I were printing longer layer times I would turn the fan on at some fractional amount. In general my strategy is when I think I’m printing TPU too slow half the speed again :-) Of course drying is the other big thing.

#10PRINT makes for great grips, inside and out :-) This was a lot of messing around with geometry to get the right result in TPU.

[Paul Arden @ardenpm]

Printed with a 1.2mm nozzle in NinjaFlex 85A, so its about 2.4mm thick on the walls, quite comfortable. Have to print super slow though, even with the Hemera, its just to fast a layer time otherwise.

[Paul Arden @ardenpm]

So a very carefully setup wBox gets displaced by a texture from a 10PRINT SVG generator I put together, then bent around the curve of the shape of the grip. It's just a hair short of closing the loop so when you put it in PrusaSlicer and set it up for vase mode, it has no travel.

@AMAZlNGNATURE And baby echidnas have a just as cute name to go with their look, puggles.

@greghuber @Siboor3dprinter With the new tophat is there a bit more headroom? That was my main issue with the 0.1 and had to add a “belt” to get enought clearance.

[Paul Arden @ardenpm]

@geerlingguy I always prefer a debugger, but a lot of the time there is a lot of overhead in getting it going and I end up resorting to printing stuff out.

[Paul Arden @ardenpm]

@seeedstudio Looks like a Viasala for the rest of us.

[Paul Arden @ardenpm]

@Fastmail Neither, all in inbox and flags for things that require follow up.

Today’s steed for a little jaunt up the creek. Had to dust it off but still turns over nicely.
