Make some rainbow ones so as not to offend the calveswell i want these to come apart.
these things are shockingly nasty.
@jblnut should know what these are...
We always used those stupid green ones with the bolt that’d rust up in 2 days. Major PITA. How easy do these come apart ?I was thinking of asking how smooth they are as they look a little rough but the green and orange rings we’d use weren’t that smooth by any means and it never caused issues. The varying sizes is really nice !!

So, what is it? Some kind of nose ring?Make some rainbow ones so as not to offend the calves

lol working with a guy to make them. this is version .00001. they are a pain in the *** to get apart. there is a crossover between the ornery calf ability to take stuff apart and the farmers dexterity. still dialing in that balance. right now you grab both sides of the hoop and pull apart while putting pressure down on the cross bar. if you just do one side it locks up, aka when the calf is rubbing up on something.
the lightning really didnt do that any justice.
customer requested the style in the middle but with a hoop that goes thru the nose.
the top one is just a joke size. not sure it would work on a cat TBH.
and that lightning just making it look terrible.
calf weaning ring. when they're still trying to find anything that looks like a ****** these nose rings poke the recipient of the calf trying to **** and it causes a break up to occur.

I am familiar with the style shown in the above pic in the middle. Does your 3D printed version go thru a hole pierced in the nose?
correct

That would be my assumption... that cooking kills any bacteria that finds its way from the 3d printed cookie cutter to the dough during the cutting process.so whats the deal here then? i guess cause you gotta cook them it mitigates?
really wish the bed plate would be 350mm wide instead of 250.
Finish looking good though!
fuzzy skin. .2 depth .08 spacing looks fantastic.
for bambu i put acceleration to 16,000 and it smokes along kicking it out.
with the .6 CHT nozzle i'm hitting the limit of the heater on the nozzle. running right at the limit. it can't maintain 248 but can 242.

3d printing looks really interesting, but also intimidating. I have looked locally for a beginner class to learn this , but not very successful. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations on some good places to learn?

Before you even get started, buy a chicken, a knife, some beads, and dance lessons.

I'm sure they make one, but the price point is probably astronomical.really wish the bed plate would be 350mm wide instead of 250.
One of your local libraries may have a small makerspace with a couple printers, laser cutter, vinyl cutter etc. If they do they normally offer classes and will print files you provide for a nominal charge. Otherwise check for a nearby professional Makerspace as they generally offer classes. I have also seen community colleges offer night/weekend classes as well.
There are several good Youtube video sets on the topic as well and is probably how most of us got started on it paired with a printer we bought new or off FB marketplace.
With the increasingly large amount of files available on printables.com, thingiverse, and Bambu's Makerworld, the amount of stuff that is out there and can be printed without any CAD ability is growing rapidly.
school of youtube trained me. where you at in NJ? exit 4/5 here
fine with me. going from 2piece parts to 1 piece is worth it

That takes all the fun out of it. I've only printed a couple things that weren't my own. There's just too much enjoyment in the struggle to get the thing in my brain onto the printer bed. And the pleasure of seeing my totally ridiculous idea come to life is incomparable.
I also enjoy the design side of it, but don't have enough time to do it all so when a good enough file to solve my problem exists I have 0 qualms using it. I also view the sites as a bit of a gateway drug to the printing addiction I mean hobby. Having pre-made files for people to print lowers the barrier to entry so those that haven't learned the cad side can start and be successful with printing before moving onto their own designs

141 lol. I need to get further south than you are. Like out of the state.
tpk not pkwy
and my god yes you're in the bad part.
microcenter has a decent showcase of them with test prints running all the time. the guys there are usually really nerdy and into it so can dip your toes into the first look at them in person.

ASA is going great
Spaghetti!
see above. looks a bit big for that calf but i dont have a reference.
I didn't trust it the first time I printed it, but the kids love them. First sample turned out good, got wife approval on it. Forgot to turn on ironing, so fixed that on these. 8.5 hr print time on the Prusa(slicer says it would be 4 hrs on the Bambu at a slightly thinner layer height) so I can review with with some coffee in the morning then decide if I drop it loose with another 6 on the bed as they will fit.
My brother apparently loves his daughter and her friends more....he's printing his out of red TPU....I'm not dealing with that right now. I was extremely impressed by how well these do print in TPU, we tried to tear them apart by hand and it's very tough for adults to break them when they're printed well....definitely safe for kids.
Next up will be doing the heart it holds and deciding if I do some lettering on it or not....from the printables page it looks like this:

I'm still holding out for a large-capacity Bambu. They have to know the demand for it is there...really wish the bed plate would be 350mm wide instead of 250.

I'm wondering if using the support material between the individual parts would allow this. Basically using it as a barrier to make it easy to get them apart after. It's something I have been thinking of when printing multiple similar parts that are low profile. Would be great to just stack them and let the printer run overnight printing parts.
im going same material. using this concept: .2mm gap between parts. iron top layer. should allow for breaking them apart.

The thing with objects like the Multiboard in particular where it has very small contact areas with the build plate, is that they are prone to warping. Any warping will ruin your entire stack. Stacking objects with lots of contact to build plate wouldn't worry me as much
minr are a buncha U shapes with a 2mm flattened side on top/bottom. i might as well try to do it in ABS to really add to the fun

I don't think the demand is what is stopping them.
I have designed and built multiple large format printers. While we have figured out that corexy is arguably the best kinematic system for 3d printing it doesn't scale as well as we would like. The belts get to extreme lengths and that means less accurate, so to combat that we go to wider belts that are stiffer. Wider belters mean more resistance, then we go to bigger motors, and then we need more frame stiffness to combat the deflection created by belt tension. Etc. etc.
I am 100% sure Bambu is working on a larger printer as it would be foolish of them not to. See the Prusa XL finally hitting the market. I'm not a prusa fanboy but have been thinking about pulling the trigger on an xl for the multiple toolheads to replace my aging E3D toolchanger that I have never been happy with. I would really like a 500x500x500 single extruder printer with the speed and reliability I have come to expect from my X1C's I have my doubts that when Bambu brings a larger printer to market it will be in the 500 range, I expect it'll be 350'ish when they do finally have something marketable.
I also think we are going to see a longer wait for the next big thing from them after the A1 fiasco. It looks like they are recalling ALL of the A1's for the bed heating cable. I find it interesting they didn't have that sorted, it's something we were dealing with back in the Anet A8 days.
