I printed the same file on two systems, (a coral) the left is a 0.6nozzle, right is a 0.4nozzle.

The 0.6 nozzle has tons of stringing, while the 0.4 nozzle had almost none.

The first layer is better with the 0.4nozzle, but after three layers both were very good.

The fuzzy skin looks a bit better with the 0.4nozzle, but only if you zoom in super close.

The 0.6nozzle print took 5hr50min (231g), the 0.4nozzle print took 7hr4min (192g).

The two systems were FLSUN SR, and the slicer was Cura.

Gone are the days of travelling all the way to IKEA to get your Billy bookcase, just to have to source metal rods online after to make a filament rack. Just pick all the bits up in one place.

While I have printed mine in PLA, PETG is always recommended for load bearing prints.

I sliced this lion bust with custom supports, fuzzy skin and lightning infill using Cura, and printed it with my FLSUN SR using a 0.6mm nozzle. I wanted the rough look. It's just he right size for a table or desk. I will need to paint it with primer and make a latex rubber mold, then make concrete statues, painted black, then copper highlights, then varnish with urethane and polyurethane.

How can I fix it, I own a Halot One printer

I think I can take it with me when I go camping! Show it off to my friends

Remember back in January when everyone was freaking out with 3DBenchy remixes being removed from Printables? I had never made a 3DBenchy remix before and didn't get the same heartburn others experienced; but I did jump on the wagon of creating a new benchy.

Originally named "Marker" (Benchy <- Benchmark -> Marker) so it was less derivative of "Benchy") but it was nearly impossible to find it in the bottomless pit of pen and marker holders so I changed the name to "Marky".
Here's the original late-night scribble (the concept being that it would be printed with it's nose touching the buildplate) and the proof of concept:

I was analyzing a 3DBenchy the whole time designing this, as I wanted to capture that special cutesy vibe that somehow strikes a cord with men, women, children, old people, young people, all the peoples... but give it some fresh life.

A biplane is the tugboat of the sky (agree or no, that's why I picked a biplane). I tried to incorporate all the print-quality tests of a 3DBenchy plus some. I designed it to be a similar size so it could exist in the same universe with 3DBenchies; and not clash when displayed together (as well as keeping the filament obligation similar). I also put the spade symbol on the wings as a nod to the "Flying Aces" of WWI. At the same time, I couldn't resist making some jabs (some subtle and some not-so-subtle) at the 3DBenchy; I admire Daniel Norée for the influence the 3DBenchy has had in shaping the 3D printing community; but I've never been one to keep a Benchy on me at all times... and I've always been annoyed that it doesn't float.

It worked! I kept the POC unchanged (except the name) as the toddler-safe version, then made a version with a deployable choking hazard (bomb) and uploaded to MakerWorld. I uploaded it as "Exclusive" because I wanted the extra points and was taken by the promise of increased exposure. However, the "Exclusive" badge might've been a turnoff for some people, especially considering the context in which, and my reasons for designing this. After 90 days, I made it remixable and uploaded to Printables and Thingiverse. I saw a slight uptick in downloads on MakerWorld but nothing crazy or overly impressive; so I just figured that people just aren't that into Marky.😐

Well, I just barely figured out how to see downloads on Thingiverse and saw that Marky broke 1,000 downloads in less than a month!! I about fell out of my chair!!!

(I know some of you clowns can get 1K in a day but you don't need to flex, let me have this one.😉)

So, who wants to explain why Marky is so much more popular on a platform on which I have WAY LESS clout?? Is it a visibility issue?? Do only Ender 3's need benchmarks anymore?? You do NOT need to sugarcoat anything; I have a thick skin and am rarely offended by the written word.

PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND; I'm a textbook overthinker.

Thanks!

This print of a BIG toad was a total success, the parameters in Cura and my FLSUN SR were set just right. The body is mostly empty, I used lightning infill) but the walls are 1.8mm thick (I used a 0.6mm nozzle). I used custom supports to hold it upright, not for overhangs. There's so many great toad and frog STL out there, I'll have to limit myself to six.

I’m a fan of DIY projects, and here’s a small but satisfying one I recently completed. I’ve been using reusable chopsticks for a while, but one day, the lid of my chopstick case stopped closing properly. Instead of tossing it, I decided to design and 3D print a new one. I modeled it in Fusion 360 and even added my own logo — such a satisfying experience! It only took about 30 minutes to print using PLA. Quick, practical, and personalized.
