3D Printing Forum

An impressive amount of engineering and thought went into this thing!

The F-35 / JSF is a real fine mess. Lockheed presented an interesting design and thought they might be able to have commonality for Air Force, Marines and Navy. Well that fell apart fast. What works for the Marines is an obstacle for the other two services. So now they have less than 20% common part...

It seems to me that at some point the speculative margin on projects in the field of space programmes have become so high that it doesn't really matter who wins the election. The problem is not the man in the presidential chair, but in the current system in terms of pricing. The same thing happens ...

What about a sealed liquid cooler (such as what PC's use for CPU and Graphics cards?) in the print head? They already use a remote reservoir, are sealed (no adding coolant needed). The trick is the shape to heat sink for liquid to draw heat from Again, I'm not an engineer. Just thinking out loud sin...

It's too bad they don't offer a Trial version.

I got mine for a discount/bulk purchase with the BB-8 Builders Club. I think we got the price down to $140 that way

This is good to hear. Cura's interface is well known and well laid out. S3D...I'm still finding things. Neotko should do some YouTube tutorials on it!

Ugh....Trump is a dolt...no polite way to say anything else. Maybe we can send him to the moon....he likes open real estate.

In jest, i was stating that the mighty nozzle could fall victim to a lowly grit pad of a sponge

I'm looking forward to feedback from are more techy members!

I wish i could get Simplify 3D tuned in on my UMO to try out....

Neat video...quite the differences with results

That's a great find...if it can hold up to the demands of plumbing, it seems it would suffice for 3D prints

I keep reading the OctoPrint site and watching the videos...and if I wasn't already backlogged in tasks, I would love to build an Octo box

Who knew a kitchen sponge would prove to be Kryptonite to the might ruby nozzle

That's interesting, Amedee... I have fiber plate (G10) I use for the electronics tray for R2, so all the electronics get mounted on that

I never thought about it being a possible print surface

Well I just wanted to move that out of Firmware into a better spot.

And it might draw more people into the discussion that way
