Impossible

This community is actually pretty active!

That’s so cool!!

Good point!

Somehow this website just goes to https://example.com/ ?

But isn’t the intention of the fediverse to keep our people just trying to make money? Even a chill podcast needs to make money.

Although maybe since the fediverse gives users/instances so much control we could keep them in line hahaha

Tbf if you want a big following for ads and such you need to use whatever has the people on it.

Lemmy is great for personal hobbies and enjoyment, but not running/advertising a business (which I assume the podcast is).

And it should probably stay that way? Not sure.

But I’m of the opinion that stuff like Instagram/Fb/X will always be around, but I’ll stick with things like Lemmy for personal stuff.

Just looked it up. Is it shipping or just an idea? Seems clever tho!

Honestly it’s a cool idea to have a portable printer though, and it could be achieved but just differently.

Like what if you just took the basic design of a normal 3d printer, but made it snap apart and back together, and then made those pieces fit into the briefcase?

You’d just need two vertical pillars, one horizontal rod. Then the print bed itself could move in either the x or y dimentions since the print head would be stationary in one direction.

Hope that makes sense but in my head this solution is way more practical even if you needed to do a calibration after each setup.

Interested to see people’s thoughts here!

Thanks for showing me this I didn’t know fossify existed

I figured it out thanks! For some reason I had to restart my phone and it finally worked.

At first it wouldn’t update to fossify when I tried, so everytime it would only give me the everytime/just this once toggle for Google photos.

Actually perfect no fancy add ons just pics!

I’m having an issue when viewing videos with it though - for some reason it won’t let me set fossify gallery as the default video viewer so everytime I have to click it after clicking on a video. Do you know how to set the default video app to fossify?

Do you use a gallery app you like? I’m kind of sick of Google photos. I always have to “save a copy” when editing and it also separates my photos in a dumb way.

I’d like something simple that isn’t trying to sell me something (storage)

If this was used as a prop onstage for a live production nobody would have an issue with it. In my time in theatre I saw props that looked a lot more simple/thrown together than that!

To be fair it actually is impressive though. Keep it up!

That’s so cool! Not familiar with the star Trek lore but upon a quick Google search your version is a great match. Keep it up!

I can imagine - I used a Printrbot LC back in the day and it was so difficult to get consistent results. Great learning experience but sometimes it was more frustrating than rewarding hahah. Seeing some of these newer models that work right out the box make me excited! (Although building one yourself is always more fun if you’ve got the time)

The wall art is gorgeous! How did you get that smooth final metallic look? Or is that just how it looks on picture?

Honestly that’s one of the coolest things about 3D printing - being able to create highly specific parts that could be impossible or impractical to source.

I’ve heard that 3D printers are used to repair those terrifying “iron lungs” that some people are still depending on to survive. This is because some of the parts that break on them are literally not produced anymore!

Wow really cool idea for the d&d design! When I used to do this stuff I was using the Printrbot LC and it was literally impossible to do something this advanced. Since it was all made of wood I think it just constantly would shift with all the heated elements, and end up a hair off. It was great experience but I didn’t get to anything really advanced with it.

Also love the bird feeder. This is what I love about 3D printing!

That’s so cool looking! What did you print that on? Must be a pretty capable printer!
