"3D printer enclosure, huh?"

Yep! I want to print more ABS, and start printing TPU. I need better ventilation and temperature control.

"And you want the biggest one?"

Well yeah, I need enough room for my printer, the filament spool, and some space around the sides for air circulation

"You realize the sizes are in centimeters? You remember how centimeters work, right?"

Yeah, totally, I definitely can convert cm to inches mentally.

"..."

I'm pretty sure my desk is about 100cm deep.

"..."

Maybe I can put *both* printers in there? On the floor somewhere?

Another fun discovery about my K1 Max: apparently, Creality have a firmware hack that shuts down the print camera when the chamber reads 60C. This is _not_ the camera overheating: it happens when the reading hits 60, no matter what state the camera's in.

The fix is to bodge the resistance numbers of the 'expected' chamber temperature thermistor, then make another entry that displays the 'real' temperature. I'll post it in a reply to this.

as a large fashion model,

today in galaxy brain: modify 3d printer gcode so that after finishing a print the toolhead gets maximum x axis acceleration to ram into the part and knock it off the build plate so you can start printing the next one right away, unattended

I picked up a Bambu P1S about 3 weeks ago and it's great. Chews through almost any filament without an issue, even old stuff not kept dry or dried in 5 years.

I have had issues with PETG repeatedly, but not ASA which was surprising given.how difficult it is.

I've basically had it running 24/7 for 3 weeks as I work through my backlog of things to print.

3D Printing Industry · [INTERVIEW] 3D Printing the Future of Data Center Cooling at Alloy Enterprises - 3D Printing IndustrySurging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and computing power is driving data centers to ramp up their cooling capabilities.  McKinsey & Company estimates that global demand for data centre capacity could grow by 19–20% annually through 2030, pushing yearly consumption to between 171 and 219 gigawatts by the end of the decade.  Burlington-based Alloy Enterprises […]

Is there a name for this kind of coupling where big blocks interlock to transmit torque?

I first saw something like this in a 1960s Honda motorcycle between the rear sprocket and the wheel hub. Part of it was hard rubber to absorb shocks.

This is just an experiment to use TPU and PETG in the same print. The TPU insert snaps into the PETG recess, and when they're screwed together, they make an adjustable joint that holds its position. So yes, I can combine the materials.

Is it useful for something? Maybe. I was thinking about making an adjustable arm for a light. But I'll buy one if I can find what I want.

Partner convinced me to set up a spreadsheet to track cost of my 3d printer vs money saved by 3d printing items. It's a good opportunity to go back and say
"Hey, I remember the time I designed that awesome custom My Little Pony stand and it only cost me time + $1 in filament."

Right now, I'm at $140 in savings (if I ignore my turntable that I probably wouldn't have bought on my own because it was more of a 'can I' than a need), vs. $285 in costs, not counting the cost of unused filament.

If I do count the cost of all filament, I can recalculate "savings" to not include filament cost, since that's already in "cost". That moves it to $150 in savings vs $490 in cost (I have a lot of unused filament. So many pretty colors!)

So, takeaway, use the filament I have before buying more.
Note: 'savings' only includes functional prints, not the wireframe eevee or cute puzzles I've printed. #3dprinting #3dprintinghobby
