There are so many different guides for a million things in the world of #3Dprinting and I find most of them lack sufficient information on when they are applicable. I recently figured out that the hair spray adhesion approach is from an era of unheated beds. Another one is the discussion of bed leveling heated vs unheated. This might stem from an era without automatic bed leveling. You do not want to run ABL on a heated bed. The results will vary much more than the bed shift caused by the temp.

Made a cup/bottle holder for my home office. PETG feels sturdier, but the weight of the full containers are still causing a slight bend on the platform. I can either try making the bottom a little thicker, or tilt it up slightly to counter the weight.

I don't often do purely decorative prints but I was never happy with my previous attempt at a "suspended" model and I wanted another go

This is the ship "Limiting Factor" from the Iain M Banks book "The Player of Games", the geometry comes from one of his sketches. I looked again at the surround and fiddled with the way the model is defined to make it a bit easier to understand

A shiny 3d printed model, made from bronze coloured "silk" filament. It's a model of the ship "Limiting Factor" from the Iain M Banks book "The Player of Games". The ship is shaped like a kind of spindle, tapering to a point at the nose with a bulge at the waist and a bluff truncated cone at the rear. Leading up to the nose there are three long bulges, with five shorter ones around the waist. The model is printed inside a C-shaped holder, suspended by thin filament strands so it looks a little like it's flying

I'm using my international radio on my Home Assistant Yellow for Thread so I added a Sonoff ZigBee dongle. I really hate large USB dongles hanging out the back of things, so I took the opportunity to finally learn FreeCAD and design a new top shell that could house that dongle internally. A few painful hours of trial and error, one U-Shaped USB extension, and one short antenna extension later and it's looking much cleaner! It is a shame I don't have a resin printer or know how to use one, because it would have been nice to keep the translucent plastic aesthetic. (an atomic purple shell would be so rad!) But I'm really happy with it overall.

New black plastic top shell with an antenna sticking out the back installed on the Home Assistant Yellow sitting next to the original translucent clear plastic top shell.
