I mean hell, who would've thought you could print that kind of material with a printer that costs less than $1000? You have to admit that times have definitely changed and in some ways, improved for the consumer though less so given the current political environment. #3dprinting has a bright future and I love the hobby.

I adore #Casio and #Panasonic when it comes to dependable and rugged consumer electronics. Yet...

I have this #protrek swg-100 watch since 2009 and it has been a reliable #watch but terrible wrist watch. Damn strap ripped after 6 years and a new one didn't even last 4 years.

I am done buying new straps and went full DIY on it with 3d printed TPU strap. I will be keeping this watch in emergency bag from now on.

Printed another desiccant drying tray to replace one of the undersized ones and remembered to video it coming off the printer this time. The sound is fun and you can see where it comes loose from the bed as it moves. Hopefully that doesn't get lost in the video upload here.

Would be better without the fan noise but that's hard to avoid where the printer is (next to a desktop server rack).

Alternate video in case this doesn't come through: i.imgur.com/0jbZHxA.mp4

I sell silly little toys from time to time to get a little extra filament money.

One of them is more of a time sink to assemble and it’s not my favorite. I designed a simpler assembly free version that’s admittedly less cool and raised prices on the assembled one so it’s more worth my time.

Everyone continues to order the more expensive one. Not a single order for the cheaper version.

If you’re putting your time into something and you feel like you’re under charging, you probably are.

I was.

Well I've just made an absolutely gut-wrenching discovery.
I've been fighting with adhesion issues on my 3D printer for months, and after making Z-Offset adjustments, temperature changes, leveling and re-leveling the bed countless times... I decided to check the extruder nozzle height at more than just the corners, and I've discovered the bed is warped. Fuck.
This is a manually-leveled machine so there's no way to compensate for this. I don't know what to do.

It's desiccant drying day again. The lower left beads started deep dark blue. I should have taken a before pic. This is after a few hours at 65C.

The new trays (lower) work a lot better than the old ones (top). Same design just scaled up since there wasn't an exact match and I didn't feel like designing from scratch.

Same trick for both, zero top/bottom layers and rectilinear infill at 25-30% making that mesh bottom which works surprisingly well. Also clear PETG is much nicer.

Top-down photo of a food dehydrator modified for use with 3D printing material. There are four trays visibile. All four are approximately one quarter of a circle, but the top two are smaller and do not actually fill a quarter of the available space. The top two are printed in transparent blue PETG and have a visible mesh-like bottom surface. They are otherwise empty. The bottom two are printed in transparent clear PETG and appear white-ish. They are closer in size to the actual diameter of the food dehydrator. They are full of small desiccant beads. The tray on the lower right is bright light orange. The tray on the bottom left is darker orange.

3D Printing Industry · “Game-changing Milestone” as Lithoz Beta-TCP Implants Show 92% Success in Long-Term Clinical Evaluation - 3D Printing IndustryAustrian ceramic 3D printing company Lithoz has achieved a 92% success rate in a clinical long-term follow-up study of its beta TCP patient-specific implants (PSI). The study confirmed that its 3D printed implants made using Lithoz’s CeraFab printer are effective bone substitutes, showing strong osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties with no post-surgical complications. The study’s findings […]
