As in, you have to swap all the labels to the opposite end of the plate? Because that sucks. I’ve never labeled anything like that—looks like it kinda worked.Well it came out great enough on standard quality but I got the layout of the connectors inverted...

I am printing v2 now, and I really can't tell if I am fixing it or fucking it up differentlyAs in, you have to swap all the labels to the opposite end of the plate? Because that sucks. I’ve never labeled anything like that—looks like it kinda worked.
Googler says CA glue sticks it together, probably just leave it loose on this deal.You can glue PLA together with I think Acetone, by the way. I haven’t done it yet. I’ve glued TPU together with some nasty ass chemical, and that bond is TOUGH.
Also, I spy a backward 3 on whatever nerd-badassery we’re looking at, so good luck with your next version!
Really, this is amazing. I’ll have to try text at some point.
That one!! But now that I really stare, I think it’s an 8 with bad lighting.second from right bottom row my eye went right toward it.
That's a 8 with s***** lighting you dicksThat one!! But now that I really stare, I think it’s an 8 with bad lighting.
If you recess the text instead of making it proud you can then colorfill with paint for legibility. It also generally comes up cleaner.She ain't pretty but its gonna work fine.
I still need to figure out if this thing is going to fit in my cabinet and where to put it if it does.
I was planning on the side of the cabinet but damn if it doesn't look really big now that its put together. (no i didn't measure)

Good idea! This text was actually the wrong text for 3d printing, it was a dual line font and the slicer made it just the infill of the font which is basically just a single filament, not wide enough...If you recess the text instead of making it proud you can then colorfill with paint for legibility.

Searched the thread and this was the only mention of dryers I could find. Any recommendations or just buy one? We routinely have 60% to 90% humidity here through the summer.I live in a high humid environment and usually print directly from a dryer. Glued some hygrometers into the cereal containers and use them mostly for PETG that I use frequently. The other ones I stack extras of a color I'm not gonna use, but I keep hygrometers and renewable desiccants in them.
I have seen people have luck with a Tupperware tub with desiccentant packets, poke a hole for your filament to come out, just keep the whole spool, holder under the lidSearched the thread and this was the only mention of dryers I could find.

I have 3 Sunlu S2's that now look like they are called Tecbears. Haven't had a problem with them, but had to print some accessories to get them to feed smoothly. I had an Eibos Easdry and it melted the petg and was just crap.Searched the thread and this was the only mention of dryers I could find. Any recommendations or just buy one?

Stability wise I printed this table tray : PrintablesI'd rather not deal with desiccants. I'm looking at the heater/fan ones and figuring I'd put the spool I'm going to use into it, dry it out for the recommended time, and then use it straight from the dryer.
This one got some good reviews on websites I looked at: Amazon.com
I like the idea of the double spool in this one - also that it looks more stable than the one above: Amazon.com
This one was stolen out of the OnShape public library, seems to be awesome in fit and will be easy to adapt to other shit.I tried those print in place din rail things and could find one that didn't suck. Easier to buy the ones from automation direct and print adapters to boot to them

[Edit] For some reason, both links go to the Sunlu one. Trying to fix it...
