I have a tendency to get into hobbies for a month or so and then drop them, too, so it being easy to set up and use should help me stick with it a bit more. The relatively low initial investment should soften the blow if I do drop it, too.
Just downloaded all of his sample models and bought another 5 on top of that. I wish that sand worm came with assembly instructions, but he’s getting built one way or another.
I actually just found his channel a couple days ago. I haven’t looked too much more into him, but his designs look great. Thank you for the recommendation!
They did. The nozzle actually arrived days before the printer, which was somewhat funny. I plan on trying it out a bit tomorrow.
Closest I have heard of is Greenville, and its surrounding area is definitely red.
This NBC link on the 2020 presidential election is somewhat surprising, though. Maybe the US Senate results, as they narrow that potential blue bubble down to either Richland county or tiny Allendale.
That’s exactly what I decided to go with. Looking forward to learning
Do you think a cigar shop would be a good local way to find at least the desiccant? Thank you for the advice.
My space to work is not extremely well ventilated, and my cats could get in if a door is properly closed, so I’m leaning heavily against resin. I understand 3D printing is not without its risks no matter what material or type you use, but resin seems to be more than I can handle in my current setup. In several years, potentially in a new house with a garage, I may reconsider.
Its good to hear another recommendation for this one. It sounds like a good one.
Bambu Studio does appear to be open source and available on Linux, though, which were my first concerns. I’m not sure I would need to switch to Klipper or something similar in that case even if I could.
The results from resin printers look fantastic. My only work area is inside with cats, so I’m concerned about ventilation and contamination (especially since shutting them out of the room will reduce ventilation further). Also, miniatures are just one of the things I wanted to make. Planters, cross stitch hoops and tools, and those neat sectional fidget toys are all things I plan to make, and it seems resin isn’t ideal for those. I don’t mind sanding the result to make it smoother, and I understand the results won’t be as high detail as a purchased miniature when I do make them.
I have not yet learned much about stepper motors vs other options, but otherwise it sounds like the main thing that has changed in this price range is an increased number of valid options in it.
Yep, right there. Missed it entirely. Haha.
That model appears to be the most frequently recommended one for beginners, from my couple hours of research. Is it just the ease of use, or is the quality there, too?
I looked into resin briefly, but I don’t think my work area would be able to be ventilated enough for it to be safe from what I have seen.
I don’t mind tinkering, as long as I can find the info to help do so somewhere.
That does appear to exceed my budget by $100 even on sale, though. Unless I’m missing something.
I am seeing that suggestion a lot elsewhere, too.
Yeah, it didn’t seem like it could handle detail at a very small scale. However, making something in the 5-6 cm range would still be wonderful for painting. How do you have to keep it happy?
Heard some people at my work complain about a change enacted 5 or so years ago. They blamed Obama.
Or they’re vibroblades? Which are already canon.
In my coffee. Haha. I weigh out the amount of coffee I need before I grind it. That said, I also exclusively make cold brew, so I’m typically making enough for a few days.
I was actually just thinking about that the other day. As far as I can tell, people tend to fall in to one of two camps:
I always make my characters completely different from me, so they often (maybe 60-70% of the time) end up being women. My friend always makes them look as close to himself as possible.
I think it comes down to different styles of roleplay. I’m myself every day. Why would I want to be myself but Cyberpunk? My friend, on the other hand, wants to imagine himself as being in that world.
And then you have the third camp of people who make their characters horny or humorous, which can be fun to do occasionally but I cannot imagine doing regularly.
I went with the A1 mini while it was (actually still is) $200 on their website. That’s about as much as we spent on our sewing machine gathering dust, a bit more than our vinyl cutter doing the same, and around the same as I’ve invested so far in mini painting.
To be fair to me, I have so far kept up with the miniature painting.
