Tea?

[Bobby Mhor]

Good afternoon
Whisked through bypassing the capital city to the Swedish Hej!! place and big warehouse place...
Got a cheapo brekkie so no complaints
I ended up with a new chair and other odds...

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
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

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?

Nah, breakfast for me..
I'm not a meatballer...

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
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.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Good morning
Bright out, rain around lunch they say..
Once Mrs M appears, some garden work to do

Yep, 8 of 3 lots and two single main parts..
Learned a couple of things out of it..
Will try some smaller pieces at varying laying to see how different they look...

I'm going to use up spool ends to make plant clips first (maybe), a small project to work on, but it's best to source the necessary parts first.
An almost lazy day is planned.
Radio doesn't want to play this early
Food? a change this am...

Owdo
Dry here, don't know about bright though.
Yer never done in that garden. Pretend yer in Southern California...

A fair bit of work non the less. Glad yer finished and never want to see another ring as long as yer alive. How yer'd see one when not alive is another question...
Not another smaller version!

Many spool ends with which to make, possibly, plant clips from?
Always a good idea, whatever the project, to have everything ready before starting.
An almost lazy day, what'll you do if the rain arrives early.
Airwaves quiet...
No porridge left, hence the change.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Good morning
Sunny start...
Enjoy your day....

No more rings allowed
I'd a partial disaster this morning, but it was me trying something, oh well.
Back to the drawing board...

Plant clips are handy so if the odd metre or two (end of spool) so why not...

Airwaves busyish..

I have a hedge to lightly trim this morning,
I'll give everyone time to wake up..
Rain? tomorrow not looking good, had something planned as well..
Oats, water and milk about to m/waved...
Getting peckish...later than normal..

Yer seeing rings in yer sleep, having counted them to get to sleep...
Do you know where you went wrong.
The drawing board these days being a computer screen.

Why not indeed. If it gives you something you can use, it saves you having a load of loose ends lying about.

You tried them then.

Nothing like that allowed before 11am on a Sunday.
Nice, and considerate of you.
We'd rain in the early hours. Nowt but sunshine from now on... Nowt important that can't be done another day were it.
Did you know the household microwave is seventy five years old! 1949 when the first one hit the shelves.
You enjoyed them?

I made something.....second attempt....
the last day of my cycle using the gpx file..
Left was Tarbet, Harris and the end (right) was the Butt of Lewis lighthouse, there's about 75 miles of up and downs there...
Much better than rings

Porridge was superb as usual...
I have some gpx files of Munros but finding them could be a nightmare.
Just had first rain of the day 0.5 mm,
hedge done earlier with Mrs M...
I'll check my GPS if I can find it......
Off for some scran......
