Also I made a new acc so I can use Voyager! Previously used @[email protected].

My main reason for moving to Lemmy/Kbin was to have 3rd party app support, and Beehaw ceasing Lemmy updates has now prevented that (for Voyager, at least). I still love Beehaw though, but the website is really bad on mobile.

Anyways I’ll comment a picture when this print finishes 🙏

    It definitely does seem sketch, but the creator of the model recommended printing it vertically— it makes the gap, nub and tip a bit smoother.

    I had to slow the layers a bit and play with the raft and supports (I originally did a 3ds xl stylus a few months ago, that’s where my trial-and-error was)

    Here’s how it turned out: https://lemmy.ca/comment/8779564

      Glad it worked!

      That’s ultimately the point of printing in my view. If you’ve made something useful you’re doing it right.

        Agreed. My favorite print I’ve done is a super basic rectangle with a circular section cut out of it, I made it myself with openscad and it’s propping up a pipe in my basement. It’s so cool how flexible 3D printing is! I’ve still only scratched the surface…
