  • The exposed wires are giving me anxiety

  • What would you do about them?

    More cat proofing today.

  • What would you do about them?

    Some sort of conduit would be the obvious thing - I'd probably use split flexible conduit which is good for tidying wires, e.g.

    I did see the duck/whale on Instagram and wondered why on earth you were ruining the lovely clean lines of your KEF speakers, but now it all makes sense!

    What model are they btw? I fancy a pair when I've finished (re)building a house to put some in.

  • LS50 IIRC

  • Anyone here used Xometry for metal printing? I'm looking to get some direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) parts done in aluminium. I quite like their no-bullshit site and instant online quoting.

  • Non more duck and whale, instead elevation.

  • Dear thread
    Our son was gifted a resin printer this weekend so we're starting playing around with the stuff. The printer is an anycubic photon m5.
    His first chosen test print consists of a bunch of parts that ate supposed to be fitted together. First impression is that they don't fit very well so I was wondering how much of a thing shrinking/expansion after printing is? Does it vary between machines or resins? Or if there are other obvious causes?

  • the tolerances can vary for different printers / printer types.
    i've found a bit of trial and error is needed to get interlocking parts to fit.
    i sometimes print out a couple of thin slices with different tolerances to test parts before printing an entire model to save time / filament etc.

    you can also try and find a file with a print profile that has been configured for your specific printer.

  • Cheers.
    Test printing is obvious.
    I hope the slicing software has easy tolerance-settings. We'll see when I get time next.

  • I'd like to get one of these, but I don't have a 3D printer:

    What are my options if I wanted to get hold of one relatively quickly? Is there anywhere in north/East London that can do it, or someone on here with a printer who could do it? (Would obvs cover filament + beer money)

  • I can probably print that and post it in the next couple of days if that's quick enough

  • That would be amazing, thanks! Can you PM your payment details/how much you'd want for it?

  • Printing is the fastest part. Didn't have black, so you've got translucent blue 💙

    Pm me your address and I'll try and pop it in the post tomorrow.

  • Looks excellent, thanks so much! PMing now

  • Now I want to know, what project made you buy translucent blue filament?

  • Cor, I wish I had the impulse control for my decision hierarchy to be project > filament, and not filament > hmm project??

  • But what if you had an emergency situation and you didn't have the right filament on hand?!?!

  • Exactly.

    The blue is giving me wicked n64/console special edition vibes. Where’s it from @moocher?

  • It's this brand

  • Test fit looks pretty tidy, thanks @moocher!

  • Nice. Just need to buy a blue bike now

  • Couldn’t resist the Black Friday sales. Just a brief setup before setting it up properly in its home over the weekend.

    Definitely a premium product. The whole experience from adding spools to the AMS to printing from the app and creating timelapse’s is easy.

  • Nice! I got the P1S with AMS. It's so good!

  • Lovely stuff. If memory serves you had some thing already, what's it replacing?
