yeah it was another L today for the raiders.. third time in my life they have been the worst in the nfl..



i was kinda numb by today... yesterday pretty much every one of my favorite schools lost. bad week in sports!!!

I've seen this same joke but it was autoflowers

my neighbor will never lock his house or car... he says then i gotta replace my glass and what they took!!!

you've been quite the observer today!!

i've been printing things for ya... i'll have it all together this week, i'll send ya pic when it's done!! one i have is a mistake, my power went out when the print was at 97%.. fucker!! i didn't get to it right away and the print bed cooled down a few degrees and the VG unattached from the print bed and fell over, not much at all i can do at that point. so it still functions fine just has some "character" hehe

May I interrupt with a printer question? How important would this dryer be? On a scale of 1-10, five being nice to have and ten being shouldn’t be without, how would you rate it? I understand different climates will have different needs.

Sounds like it is or can be a preheat for the material as well. Do these use electricity on a regular basis and would it be negligible?

The list of additional equipment is growing.

it's like growers creep ain't it?!?! hahaha

my personal opinion i would rate that as a one in needing.. maybe if you lived on a coastline or something it would go up to 4 as important. thats my opinion but i also don't spend $60 per roll of filament either, somebody that invests in super high quality can afford a dryer so why not.

i might be wrong but from i read the TPU is the most sensitive to rh. for the little amount of tpu i use compared to the price it's just not worth it for me to have a dryer.

I've never felt the need to get one of those and seems like my filament, or some brands of PETG, could actually use the opposite and be moisturized because they dry out and get brittle if left out and not used for a spell.

One accessory I have been thinking about is getting a tent for my printer. I've seen the small cloning tents being used by some. I'd like that just to keep dust off it and maintain consistent temps during a print. But even then I'd say I want it more than need it.

Cool. Thanks for the opinion.

He was going to get one then changed his mind. I thought the small 2-1 2’x3’ would be perfect and hold all the extras on the side or shelf. (Stop leaving shit all over the house. )

Yes, yes it is. Or shooting, or motorcycles, or fishing, or computers… It’s a reasonable tool for his hobbies. I can’t complain about the items we’ve made for the tent. They aren’t all perfect but they are in a tent. IDC as long as they work. Looks are secondary to function for me, most of the time. The higher the price the smaller that gap becomes.

This was my thinking. The groups he reads and listens too all buy this and that. He’s just got the new toy bug. I relayed the replies from you guys and he’s listening to reason.

I originally said he’s buying a solution to a problem he hasn’t experienced yet. Now he’s willing to wait and see.

Anything you would say is a must or something that should be bought sooner than later?

Zen and i have been talking about tents too... fire resistant, keeps the dust off, keeps the heat in, keeps the heat more stable. couldn't think of any negatives at all.

last week i ordered some plastic sheet to make one, i rally wanted to just buy a tent for $50 and call it good but i would have to move the printer and find a new home for it so i decided to just make my own and make it custom size to fit in it's spot.

 

[Stoneyluv]

Cool. Thanks guys.

not that i can think of.. if it were a creality i could suggest nozzles and bowden tube but with that brand i'm not sure what wears out or breaks if anything at all.. might be a wait n see thing.

keeping the print bed clean is a good habit to have, when it's warm some 50/50 and a soft cloth...

It's funny because when I was shopping for my cloning tent, I'd see reviews like these



Like Stoney said, spare nozzles are a must.
I also have a few different types of beds since some work better than others for certain filaments. Mine came with a tempered glass bed but I use a reversible PEI bed that's pebbled on one side and smooth on the other more than the glass bed. It peels off the bed too so if a print sticks too well I can bend the bed to pop it off

i was looking at the printer specific ones with built in lighting... they would block about 4-5 inches of my tv... i'm forced to go custom..

I may end up repurposing my clone tent by turning it sideways if the printer will fit.
I have lots of lights like T5HO single lamp fixtures I can mount to the cross bars. Right now I use a led panel on an adjustable arm with a clamp mount behind the printer.
I suppose a light would be something Zen would need as well but the room mine is in is kinda dark.
It is funny though how tents for wardrobes and 3d printers are pretty much a grow tent but the word "grow" doubles the price

He has two already but one is just a much better brand of the one that’s on it. For his models that require fine work. He printed a hard case to hold them and all the small tools/spare parts. I was surprised to see it print the piano hinge in place. I was expecting it to require assembly.

I also have a few different types of beds since some work better than others for certain filaments. Mine came with a tempered glass bed but I use a reversible PEI bed that's pebbled on one side and smooth on the other more than the glass bed. It peels off the bed too so if a print sticks too well I can bend the bed to pop it off

His has a pebble top on atm. He has one or two on the way still, ones flat/smooth. They are magnetic and lock in pretty tight. We wait for it to get below 30* then lift it off and flex it a bit to pop them off. I have plastic and metal putty knives too.

Shoot. Double here. I can get tents for a little more.

i wish i could just buy one, i'd have it already. i like the spot and it;s so close to the bottom of the tv, i'm not moving it either.. i could relocate the spool to the side or something.. but i already bought the material so i'm going for it.



i put strip lighting on mine when i first bought it.. it's really convenient!!

i just picked up two of them on a black friday sale.. they're double sided so they should last me the year...

Nice. His comes with one side light you can turn off/on but an overhead would be much better. I’ll show him yours.

You mean they wear out too?

 

[Stoneyluv]

You mean they wear out too?

mine do... i buy the cheapos though so not sure. petg seems to wear them out faster for some reason. after time they just don't stick as well and i start to get corners lifting on bigger prints, even when i print with a brim. i try to move my prints around on the plate so they're not always wearing out the middle right away.

i was printing out a VG for Observer and the one corner lifted a little at like just 15% in the print.. it then squashes all the layers to make up for that lift.. you can even see the layer where it lifted and made the line near the bottom..

Brisky is the highlighted driver on nascar.com today!! i saw CBell is running the chili bowl, there goes larsons chances!!! damn brisky gets in there a few weeks and already convinces Gibbs to let them dirt race, probably part of his contract i bet!! i hope they become awesome teammates!!

I can tell a difference in the back where the design stops on the one and continues on the other. This stuff reminds me of my childhood. My dad was an auto graphics painter and before the whole tech wave of vinyl printing he hand lettered graphics for local modified and sprint cars. they would have this car show at the local mall every year and it was really cool the cars he painted would always win. Then everything turned into vinyl and he retired because a 24 hour vinyl sign shop could do the job in a day that would take him a week.

I'm thinking Coach saw how much was being invested into Chase Briscoe Racing by his dirt sponsors and saw the light. Funny thing is that his sprint car is #5 now and not 14 but he still has Mahindra as his main sponsor and about a dozen or so others investing in that dirt team.
C. Bell is just all kinds of hell yeah with that change!

And guess what man. Another free Truex RC car showed up on my doorstep this morning!!! This is just getting crazy.
Three 's are in my livery now.

ah hell yeah man, that is so awesome!!!! that is one talent i never got to try. those pin stripers back in the day were incredible!!!!

i've always wanted to try it.. i have a pretty steady hand... closest i ever got was those stick on stripes!!!!

yeah i always felt that was kinda raw for coach shutting the dirt down, he was thinking with his pocketbook on that decision and lost a tiny bit of respect from me when he decided no more extracurricular racing.. but good on coach Gibbs, way to rethink it and make good on the decision!!!

you got a fourth car?!?!?! damn when are you starting your own racing league??!?! haha

getting ready to format my PC and start over... got some poopy in it somewhere causing it not to sleep and my torrent client is acting fishy recently so i'm gonna delete everything and start over!!!! in a couple hours i'll have a brand new PC super fast!!!!!!
