I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

I do it pretty much the same as you actually! It’s always kinda hard to tell what other people are doing though. Since my instance is kinda small, I barely see a tiny fraction of whatever total boosts/favorites a post has unless i click through to the orignal.
Wow what are the odds, I was JUST asked to fdm print a bunch of these by a patron! Might have to give this a go.
Oh yeah, we have an old Shining3D scanner in our makerspace, and the amount of trouble that company has been…
I think people use those for tea so they must be reasonably tasty. However, the ones in the store look pretty rough. I’d eat the greans on a fresh one though
WAAM printing has its limitations but i still feel like it’s probably the lowest barrier to entry as far as pure metal printing goes. That’s got to be doable for under $10K by now, right? If you janked it together yourself? Plus below that there’s still always lost PLA casting, or sintering composite metal/plastic filaments. Maybe I’m way off base though, who knows.
Maybe Loops, for shortform portrait aspect ratio stuff?
I convinced one person to make an account but they don’t use it. I do know another person IRL who uses Mastodon, so i send them Lemmy stuff there
Something about fractals generated from generalized random Fibonacci sequences
Loves me some
Sure, why not? I don’t eat meat currently but I’d prolly throw in a lab burger or two occasionally if they were available
It doesn’t seem to be, or if it is, it’s in a very different way. A lot of other materials seem to get more brittle in humidity, but I haven’t noticed that with PHA.
We’ve tried every brand I can find, like Colorfabb AllPHA, Beyond Plastic BioPHA, and Bosk Regen. We usually order directly from them since it’s hard to find in a distributor, but we’re in the Northeast U.S.A., so it’d be really nice if anyone was making it around here.
That’s just if you’re having too much trouble with warping, which we generally don’t, and it doesn’t apply to perimeters or top layers, just bottom layers and infill. We’ve printed plenty of parts near solid with no issue at all. In addition, PHA is inherently more durable than PLA anyway.
Depends on how thick it is and what biome it degrades in, but in my compost it seems pretty comparable to wood?

Ohhh sure yeah, up front it does! There’s definitely some work to get it figured out the first time, that’s very true. It took us a while to iron out the settings. Once you get that stuff worked out though, from then on it’s pretty smooooooth.
I disagree, but sometimes… difficult things are worth doing? It’s not like we randomly decided to use it for no reason afterall.
Oh, I should also have mentioned in the original post! Most of these pics/vids are of stuff printed on a low end printer with 0.6mm nozzle, not using high resolution settings. It’s all just stuff our patrons have requested, who are more interested in getting it soon than it looking SUPER nice. It can absolutely be printed with super high detail in mind instead.
This, 100%
