Busy Bob must make/have time to make, and eat, his porridge the proper olde fashioned way.

I know those "restricting pills" only too well.
Until something else is found for you to do...
Could you hire/rent/borrow a sheep for a day or two a month.
Thought you were on yer last one earlier today! Nearly done now though...
How much of a difference to the finished pieces does that printer change have on the parts printed using it.
Up early, and out the door is my guess. Printer won't be in use 'til you get back.
Can sell you a spotting scope if you want a closer view of Alice!

Last piece now being printed..
I'd better give the poor thing a rest for a few days...
91 hours printing time.....
Hope it goes together:eek:
I'd have been finished but for our morning jaunt..
Delivery tonight.

The answer -
  • General Rule:
    Layer height should be a percentage of the nozzle diameter, not exceeding 80%.

  • Example:
    With a 0.4mm nozzle, a layer height between 0.1mm and 0.32mm is generally considered optimal.

  • Layer Height vs. Print Speed:
    Thinner layers (lower height) result in more detailed prints but take longer to print due to the increased number of layers required.

  • Layer Height vs. Print Quality:
    Thicker layers (higher height) can lead to visible layer lines and may sacrifice surface finish, but they print faster.

  • Nozzle Size Impact:
    Smaller nozzles allow for finer details and thinner layers, while larger nozzles allow for faster prints with thicker layers.

  • Material and Print Type:
    Consider the material and the desired print type when choosing layer height. For example, you might use thinner layers for intricate details or larger prints, depending on your priorities.
In essence, the relationship between layer height and nozzle diameter is a trade-off between print time, resolution, and print quality. Choosing the right balance depends on the specific requirements of your project..(off Google)
Nozzle size is generally .4

I'll not bother printing as that answers my own question

Good afternoon :hello:
Whisked through bypassing the capital city to the Swedish Hej!! place and big warehouse place...
Got a cheapo brekkie so no complaints:cuppa:
I ended up with a new chair and other odds...
Afternoon
Meatballs? Anything bought...
You paid for it!
That last one didn't last too long, three months were it.

How many pieces in total?
It'll miss the excitement, thinking you've forgot about it.
What were cost in your time. Hovering around it, keeping an eye on it, making sure you kept it fed...
Will he blame you if it doesn't.
Down the scout hut?

26 pieces..
Turns out I needed only one lock wheel..
Blurb by the maker didn't mention how many of each of the five files to print, was obvious about the inner and outer cylinders and the fact that there were 8 outer (and inner)wheels used but no indication that a lock wheel was only required at the end (or so it looks now).
Hopefully it'll be made up by next week...

I'm looking at morse keys now :ohmy:
I have one project to get started, once I work out what I need for it..
Looks like rain tomorrow...

Thought you might have had.
But that place is famous for them.

A one off project, or something you'd repeat, now you know you can print it.
Most of the rings printed were just repeats of the same file(s), not all separate ones?
He'll put it together and show you how to solve it by next week!

You printing metal now or just fresh finger pads for existing keys.
Tea, biccies, apple juice... Oh and PLA of the correct colour(s).
Aye, forecast for here as well, late evening. We'll see...
Scout Hut visit done.
