3D printing

[pastera]

I have this now but the bed just moved back to front then stopped. Not sure if it is going through some kind if pre-print check

Look at the extension of the file
*.gcode.gz
That's a compressed file and the printer can't hande compressed

Download CURA slicer - it will associate with STL files to slice them and if you have the SD card in a USB reader attached it will default to save the resulting code to the SD card.

I can set up a team's meeting and walk you through setting up CURA by sharing my desktop (low risk on your side)

Pretty soon NES will have its own Teams channel… lmfao what is the world coming to

 

[Fixxah]

Dude we need to get together and I'll give you a class!

My wife said the same thing.

 

[Fixxah]

Just finished watching Cura for beginners. Need a drink. Lol

Drinking still so I am done with this until tomorrow.

That’s directly tied to the need for patience…

 

[Fixxah]

My issue is pc related. I have no skill on a computer.

 

[Fixxah]

Finally got it right. Benchy Bernie.

 

[Fixxah]

Baby steps.

 

[Fixxah]

I can see a glass bed in the near future. The stock bed is gonna get hacked up pretty fast. Printing my first item with support. Thankfully black is plentiful for these bits but I am ordering some colors in pla.

Is there a good stl file for a universal handcuff key? Answer hoped for fairly promptly.

 

[Fixxah]

Probably. Seems to be a file for almost everything. Not sure if it would be strong enough though.

Is Hentee filament any good?

Get some eSun filament.

 

[Fixxah]

Get some eSun filament.

What about Sunlu?

 

[Fixxah]

Get some eSun filament.

So many names to pick from.

Yes, there are handcuff key and TSA key STL models.

I'd print them in a nylon filament, if you have a printer capable of nylon 6.

 

[edin508]

What about Sunlu?

I've never had that good of luck with it. I found one that worked well for me and stuck with it.

I have a pair that was, well never mind. I have a pair of cuffs but no keys. I know I can order a key for $5 but I might try printing it first for kicks.

Now my wife finally gets the black pug she has been begging me for.

 

[Fixxah]

Batarang printing now for my son.

The key for my jm625 looks like a cuff key.

 

[Fixxah]

Now on to find something useful.

 

[pastera]

Sunlu is also good

I've had no issues with sunlu.

Now on to find something useful.

Make a toothbrush holder.

 

[Fixxah]

Make a toothbrush holder.

That and a hanger for my razor. And a tablet stand. But first, a t-rex skull.

Anyone store filament in sealed 5 gal. buckets with dessicant packs?

 

[Fixxah]

I have downloaded lots of files so far. This is pretty addictive.

I use a tote, buckets will work as well.
