3DPrinting@lemmy.world•The Prusa Core One INDX isn't a functional 3D printer (yet) - Made With LayersEnglish
6·1 month agoMade with layers has been doing this for a while now. Love their reviews.
I love modern 3d printer. Press button and get really good prints first try.

Technology@lemmy.world•Study: Generative AI Is Eroding the Development Pathway for Software DevelopersEnglish
3·2 months agoFrom my experience AI works well as a alternative to Stack overflow or searching for the answer, or rewording the solution to be easier understood.
AI is good at rewording the documentation of code so if the documentation isn’t good or written by someone who’s lived in the sauce for too long, AI can be very very helpful.
But you need to know how to code, and not just blindly copying the output, you need to understand what it’s doing and make sure that it fits your code base.
I have touched C in ages so AI helped me get to grips with it again when working in a project. But it didn’t write my code, I did. Which made fixing bugs a lot easier when they were found or reported.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•I created a Universal Phone Case with OpenSCADEnglish
9·2 months agoWhy didn’t you fillet the edges? Would make it a little easier to hold in your hands since you won’t have a edge digging into it.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•So so many print failure to make this, but it's finally doneEnglish
4·2 months agoGLoA it’s a made up term I use for my e-reader cases. What it stands for is the Great Library of Alexandra and no that’s not a spelling mistake.
Th idea of a GLoA case is to be durable and repairable, since my wife’s e-reader case was constantly falling apart and destroying itself. An official case in her hand last 1-2 months, GLoA last 3-4 and hoping to go longer with this newest revision.
Made a whole video documenting the design process of the original case if you are interested in learning more.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•So so many print failure to make this, but it's finally doneEnglish
2·2 months agoNeat, but this print is larger than the total print area. TPU retains it’s heat, allowing you to print multiple separate parts together so long as you can align it properly.

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•So so many print failure to make this, but it's finally doneEnglish
1·2 months agoI have an earlier post here going over it. But this 1 print is 3 separate prints. I first print the Spine, which has alignment groves. Then I remove it from the print surface and print the back. The print will stop after the first layer so I can add in the spine which is held down with magnets. The I resume. This will print the next layer ontop of the Spine, which melts it in and creates a solid connection, no weaker than a normal TPU print. I then remove it and do the same to the cover.

4·2 months agoThis is just a prototype and missing the rails to hold in the ereader.
I am selling an older stitched version of this called GLoA e-reader cases which you can see on printable
https://www.printables.com/search/models?q=gloa
But honestly looks like an e-reader case, and aesthetically aiming for it to look like a book

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•What the humidity level in your area?English
2·2 months agoI have humidity sensors in both my dryboxes and outside.
Where I live humidity in summer is 40-60% and the dryboxes will max out at 40% if left untouched.
In winter it’s 20-30%.
Petg starts having issues at 30 and you can hear the water boiling at 40

Technology@lemmy.world•Nobody needs AI to search the Internet, court says in ruling against GoogleEnglish
5·5 months agoThe article says google will be fighting this, but I don’t think they have a leg to stand by. Unless they want to be liable they will need to sanitize the data. But then we are just back to regular old search results.
I like many here can recommend Prusa but honestly if you wanted to shop around this is the specs you are looking for:
Core XY is the new hotness thanks to Bamboo. But unless you want to print fast and loud a bed slinger still works.
What makes the biggest difference is the horned style and a direct drive printer is a game changer to print consistency. MK4s planetary gear is scary how much torque is in it but if you find any printer with a motor in its print head it’ll be worth it.
The other major improvement is auto bed levelling. Again Prusa’s nozzle solution is amazing, while magnets sensors are outdated but still works great if you printing on steel and the venerable plastic stick works but harder to recommend.
Finally magnetic sheets is a nice to have but finding a durable print bed like Garolite is better, just know that no one makes a Garolite bed so you’ll need to craft your own.
Other gimmicks you’ll find is ways to accelerate printing but I’ve honestly haven’t seen much improvement by using them and prefer the print quality when printing slower.



I think that depends on you budget. If the Sky is the limit a Bamboo X2D or a Prusa Core 1 are good options.
But if you are going for a lower budget, look for a printer with auto bed leveling and availability of spare parts. Printer nozzle and print bed and considered consumables.
If you find one with a direct drive extruder it’s a winner.
