A while back I purchased this 7 segment display 3d printable project from Engineezy a while back and printed a digit and enjoyed it. Now it's time to build a clock.

I got some build notes on stuff I could clean up but I love it anyway <3

No, I'm not going overboard with the #3Dprinting equipment, it's perfectly normal to have a 2kg tub of silica gel.

I'm looking into LW-PLA. It looks like plastic, but feels more like cardboard. This is one example of temperature activated materials, its volume changes depending on print temperature.

At 190C it's close to normal PLA, but after that it starts to foam. At 250C it behaves like insulation foams, expanding up to 2.5 times the volume. It makes parts that have PLA's charasteristics, except it's incredibly light. This benchy was printed with 45% flow and it feels unreal to hold as it weights absolutely nothing.

This material is typically used in weight sensitive applications, like RC planes and likes.

Meh, the coating (or whatever it is) on the big glass build plate on my Mega X starts coming off, giving all big prints these black contaminations. 😦
(contaminations because this makes it harder to send it in for recycling)

This is what I woke up to this morning.

Fortunately, the filament heater wasn't on.

we can have some bisexual filament. as a treat
(sadly not an actual filament i own, just the result of a color change)

Long overdue blog post!

“But what if every button is also a screen?” That’s the question that started a multi-year project to build a custom electronic music production device, the SoundSlab. One glorious day it will be part sequencer, part sampler, part synthesizer, and part slab. Today it’s a never-ending hobby project…

Auf jeden Fall eine sehr spannende Filament-Schnitzel Jagd 😂
Ich hab sehr viel geflucht. Jesus take the Spool.

Hoffe es hilft irgendwann jemand anderem! (5/5)

I finished the Maomao figurine. Disclaimer the model is more a pin-up style and not really character compliant. Just saying because the Reddit fandom teared me a new one. 😅 The model is from Pikky Prints. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/qipao-maomao-apothecary-diaries #3Dprinting #Anime #Nerdlings #MiniaturePainting #Figurine

tbqh, printing with ASA feels a bit too industrial for me right now. I'll wrap up this project and go back to my trusty PLA & PETG

putting my silica gel into a silica bowl and placing it on top of a silica plate.

And then radiate it with 12-centimeter waves!
