3DPrinting
3DPrinting is a place where makers of all skill levels and walks of life can learn about and discuss 3D printing and development of 3D printed parts and devices.
The r/functionalprint community is now located at: !functionalprint@kbin.social or !functionalprint@fedia.io
There are CAD communities available at: !cad@lemmy.world or !freecad@lemmy.ml

Need to do one of those speed/acceleration calibrations myself. I've reduced my speed for better quality, but it'd be fun to know my limits
It's so much fun to know your limits, and really useful when you're prototyping parts.
I like modeling things like little tool holders to fit inside the railings on my printer, so sometimes need to print a couple of them to get the size just right. When doing these tests usually I print 0.6 nozzle, 0.3 layer height at 300m/s and 3000m/s^2 accel. Parts usually don't come out super pretty, but more often than not I end up using the final "test print" rather than reprinting it at more reasonable speeds because I just need it to work, not look nice.
