Když jsem byl v knihovně se synem, na akci pro předškoláky, viděl jsem, že tam mají malého Průšu a řekl jsem si, jestli knihovna náhodou taky netrpí tím, co tady někdo z majitelů 3D tiskáren popisoval a sice že většinu času se na něj jen práší, protože není pořádně co tisknout.
Nabídl jsem se knihovně jako dobrovolník, že bych mohl dětem ukázat, jak kreslit vlastní modely v online #CAD programu #onshape.

A hádejte co, mají zájem (ostatně nemají moc co ztratit)
takže jsme se domluvili na pilotní hodině a pak uvidíme, kam dál.

Learn a lesson from me, friendos: Do not ever clean a 3D printer nozzle with side cutters. I did this a couple weeks ago removing stuck PETG and realized immediately I messed up. Prints started stringing and had other issues only after then. I ordered replacement nozzles (obxidian!) and finally got around to swapping the nozzle and taking a closer look today. Under a microscope it's easy to see that no only did I take a chunk out of one side, the bottom is uneven.

I understand why Prusa is so late delivering the camera for the Core One. When I finally received it, the plastic is scratched, there are no magnets in it so I can’t mount it, and it doesn’t work to connect it to the printer. They should have just waited a while longer to get things working.

@3dprinting And now I have a parallelogram shaped gift box. This is becoming my standard gift box: fitted insert, lid with bow printed on. This was only challenging in that the heart is too complex to import into Fusion360 as an STL.

The blue and red ribbon is the same filament as the veins and arteries. The lid is the same as the stand.

Tbf, when you say #Prusa Loyalists. I'm not saying you're wrong; but I do feel like there's a lot of valid reasons why someone would prefer buying a prusa machine. They're the most open source 3D printing company around. They provide insanely long firmware updates. The customer support is excellent. It's built in Europe. They're upgradeable.
All of these things have costs associated with them. And for a lot of people including myself, that's a cost i'm willing to pay

Practical movie effects: Sara Villareal & Studio Gillis

Hollywood special effects aren’t just about CGI — there’s still a world of creatures, props, and animatronics making movies feel real. Lately, more filmmakers are swinging back to practical effects. At Studio Gillis in Los Angeles, they’ve been at it for...

Using the #Prusa MK4S with MMU3 in my local hackerspace today I realized how old my old printers indeed are. Even on the slower setting the MK4S is just SO much faster than my trusty old #Anycubic Mega X, and I'm pretty sure also my highly modified i3 Mega is just barely as quick, not to mention way less of a "just works" experience. 😅
