Respect on the seed cracking no disrespect but how many days we are talking?
75 bucks on a couple a days difference is worth it?

I think its for those stubborn seed with hard seed husks that won't crack .
I've never used one myself
Be lucky to be 70c printed
Thanks for stopping by

Another 1cm to go

 

[Absorber]

Printing done ,now I just have to wait for relays micro switches and the little geared motors then I can finish making them .
For those not sure what this is its to control ventilation on 2 grow tents with 1 6 inch carbon filter and 1 6 inch extraction fan and one controller with 2 zones .
So I can shut air draw off from each tent individually and when one tents air draw stops the fan runs at 50%

Printed some strips to hold screen in place ,screen is to stop roots travelling up drain pipe ,I wanted to be able to remove the screen .

@Gee64 check this stuff out

@Absorber do you take suggestions? I.e. if I come up with an idea for something do you want me to propose it to you or do you have a huge backlog of stuff you’re already doing?

No problem, awesome thread!

Nothing specific as of now I just wanted to see what the situation was. I’m pretty unfamiliar with 3D printing itself but I do remember someone telling me it’s a lengthy process, however this was a few years ago at least

No worries ,like I said if I can help I will and if there are any stl's you are after that I can give you, let me know and i can give you the link in a message im not allowed to post it here
Thanks for the kind words

What's the process for getting the actual file produced that can be save and shared? There must be some 3-D software that allows you to create it visually somehow which then gets saved as computer code?

Can you show us the process next time you do a brand new idea?

The 2 programs I use are 3d builder and meshmixer .

3d builder is a very simple program to use it has basic shapes like sphere,cube, cone etc and you add and subtract shapes its a free program on most Windows computers and I think meshmixer was free too I use that program to clean up the meshes of the STL the meshes are all the little tiny triangles used to make shapes, think of them as pixels but in 3d ,the more of them you have the finer the detail.
I can achieve most things with those 2 programs , im no expert at designing things on a computer but I have a crack and learn more each time I do.
There are more intricate programs but id have to watch shitloads of YouTube tutorials and my internet buffers to much so I stick with the ones I use

Decided to start printing some name tags for my upcoming Canuk sponsored grow 4 more to print

Ok, but now you're just looking for excuses to use the thing right? Be honest.

Filling in time waiting for these lights to turn up so I thought I'd make some name tags to advertise the sponsor

 

[Azimuth]

How flexible are those tags? Can they push down into the soil pretty well?

2mm thick and flexible but still stiff enough to push into soil , I can make it as stiff as I want with the print settings

Joking aside, that's pretty cool tek you've got.

I imagine that's something like what they'll have to take on a mission to Mars. (The tek I mean, not your plant tags )

Can they print metal yet or only plastic?

They do print a form of metal ,not on my printer though.
I have a few printed parts on my 4x4 like hubcaps on my off road rims and mounts for my rooftop tent and pull out solar panel ,a battery box to hold the 4 285ah lipo4 batteries in 4x4 .
I couldn't live without one that's why I have 2
