These are great! I spaced them so the brackets are mostly under the trucks and they are not very visible. I would definitely recommend PETG or at least extra walls and high infill if using PLA

It’s my favorite deck. I absolutely love the shape and size

I didn’t make the model, I just printed it. But I’m sure there are suitable models out there!

I want to try printing one of these in TPU for the squish. I did a stardew valley chicken today

Really anything, but skateboarding is my favorite if I had to pick one that brings me the most peace

I got an sv06 a few weeks ago as my first printer and I really like it.

I have had some similar issues when posting or interacting with other instances, especially kbin.social

I have been unable to vote or comment, and I have had other times when I can’t see comments from the other instances and they can’t see mine.

Something similar may be going on here with lemmy.one but I don’t know.

Isn’t it a link aggregation site? I feel like that’s the point…

There are definitely communities that focus on that, though. I know I personally enjoy the local text posts and comment interactions as it reminds me of the good old days of browsing vBulletin forms all day, but lemmy is kind of a different beast in a lot of ways

Oh that’s odd. The direct link to it is here

Yes, I put a top level comment with details. The e steps were off causing it to under extrude

I’ve tried tree supports when printing miniatures - I’ll start messing with them for other stuff too. Thanks for the tips. I’ll try those settings

I watched a few videos on adjusting flow rate and ended up checking my e steps and they were quite a bit off. After fixing that I did a single wall cube to test flow rate and the measurements were right on.

I printed my test piece again and it is way better. I did slice this one in the regular Cura and not the Solvo version since that’s what I was using to generate the flow tests but I had all the settings pretty much the same.

Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions! I will be tweaking my flow and support settings a bit more I’m sure but for now I’m happy with the result

I did do a temp tower test and found a good temperature. I did try running through the auto bed leveling on the SV06 as well and it didn’t change anything. I have read other methods of bed leveling that are better for the SV06 so I may give those a try too.

I can definitely see the advantage of sticking with one brand of filament. Being new I kind of assumed PLA is PLA but there has been a noticeable difference between the two that I have tried

I have thought of that too but I didn’t have this issue with the other filament I used. The 90° overhangs were rough, but they didn’t have lines falling off like with this one.

If I can’t figure this out I will just re-design the piece to print in two parts and get some 3d gloop or something to stick them together

Thank you for the information! I did do a temp tower and the layers do look similar but there seemed to be a sweet spot with less sagging and stringing at 200C so I’m printing there. I have not done a flow tower so I will try that and see if I can get the flow calibrated, and re-do my z-offset and bed leveling stuff.

I am very new to 3d printing (less than a month) so I’m still trying to figure out all the things I can troubleshoot. This is very helpful!

I recently got a Sovol Sv06 for about $250 USD and I have been really happy with it. I’ve heard their customer support is not great but I have found tons of community resources online and the printer seems easy enough to work on for someone of my skill level (basically no mechanical background at all other than building PCs)

I did have to take it apart and re-lubricate the bearings but with lots of detailed videos online of how to do that it wasn’t hard.

I have already used it to repair RC car controllers and print desk organization bins, headphone holders, and some toys for the kids

This is super cool! I would also love to print this. Is this file available anywhere?

I got rid of my alarm clock because the led screen was too bright. My phone charger has a bright blue light on it so I have to cover that up to sleep. I almost want to set up my bedroom with no electronics at all but I don’t think my wife would go for it

Thank you!

I messed around with blender for a couple of weeks wayyyy back in the day. Mostly, I have just been following some fusion 360 tutorials on youtube for the last week. I know I am not using all of the tools available, or at least not correctly, because some of the things were just not working right and I had to re-do them several times to get things to link up properly. Thinking back it was probably more like a couple hours of modeling…

The tutorial I’ve been following is Learn Fusion 360 in 30 days from Product Design Online, which is fantastic, but when I’m not following along directly it’s hard to remember all of the different tools that he uses to make things work. I’m sure I’ll get comfortable with it eventually. It’s a really fun learning process though.

The working video is an imgur link - I wasn’t able to get it to embed with Lemmy but it’s here: https://i.imgur.com/7DofLyP.mp4

Just a clip of the assembled controller showing that the wheels on the car respond to the input

Ahhh good to know. Thanks!
