  • Yeah, probably needs much thinner coat than what I’m used to using on real wood. The velocity painting idea is neat. Might need to try that sometime. I am using image to stl conversion on this profect to create a shallow negative volume that after staining looks very much like a woodburner etching. I almost wonder if I could apply a wood grain to the print itself by having just a 0.10mm offset of a wood grain stl applied to the surface.







  • Can look at those thank you. Looks like Tinkercad actually does have some threading options and that’s closer to my comfort zone. Appreciate all the great comments here. The more I look into these options, the more I think for the routine, shoot I lost the cap for these gummy vitamins or paint bottle type situations, the more I like my tpu stopper idea for simplicity. There are more variables than I realized on getting a cap to fit it appears.




  • Huh, was the height change of the view just an illusion then? I don’t have a frame on my Prusa but I Def want a view closer to this.

    I’m really quite pleased with Prusa connect, so the only features of octoprint I’d really use are the time lapse options most likely, but it seems much easier to do this with octoprint then with a security cam (honestly not sure why time lapse isn’t a more Popular option with security cameras tbh.



  • Well you’ve inspired me at least to A. Reposition my security camera I use to monitor my prints and B. Very seriously consider setting up an octoprint thing. Right now I like to build post hoc time lapses but I have to take an SD card Out of the camera and put them together in video editing software. Is your camera strapped to the zaxis of your printer? Mind sharing some info /photos about your setup? Looks nice.



  • It’s a huge issue actually. All those beeps do prevent sleep and sleep deprivation worsens hospital dementia and slows healing. It’s antiquated AF. Who needs to hear the beeps? The Nurse. Nurse could be many yards away so beeps need to be loud. Do you really think this is the best way we have in the 21st century to alert nurses?
