Wot's tha like inside though... Still dull weatherwise.
Cuppa supped?
I headed out on Polly, an exhausting 7.something miles :laugh:
I got to a point and nah, I won't today, 'why not?' 'too long a drag uphill', 'go on' so I did, I got the mucky grassy part done but hit the wall a few times further on, forestry work is going on so I stopped casually to have a look (a good excuse)
The Da Vinci piece?
I goggled the name and got "Security Systems".
Smaller nozzle = better finish?
And the real time printing was how long compared to estimated time...
I'm not knocking it. It does look good, there's no disputing that. And no supports required it seems. less cleaning up before assembly.
I can see eyes turning towards it...

A few bob.
You've not seen the R2-D2 fridge/cooler?
You call her up when you need summat, she's then to make a second trip back up to "Bob Central" Command.
You'll survive. One way or another
The cryptex was for someone, I just followed the plans...
I did deviate when it was the 'rings' and did them a different colour and using a normal .4 nozzle.
Next time? all done with .4....

Apparently, I have three speeds I can choose from:
Normal 1, Sport 1.3 and Ludicrous 1.6..
Did I post this before?

Best always doing first layer (s) at low speed as it's the bed..

Lunchtime...

Just to say, .4 would have taken half the time...

You enjoy yer out, under yer own steam?
Freewheeled home no doubt. You break the wall down, or climb it. Nowt wrong with stopping to see how someone's doing something. Especially if there's machinery involved.

It were the Da Vinci device then. He's not forgotten the combination yet.
All the same colour could have confused the poor fellow even more.
Would that work with the finer parts?

How big a difference, timewise would it make using a smaller nozzle at the faster speed, little or non...
You've posted something similar. What was it you were making, just the shape seems odd.

Fed and watered now...

Half the time, but would the finish have been as good...

Of course, Bob's wee leg power.
I could have finished the last km downhill but due to tree work going on in the wood, it's a track that heads in and they were throwing down some stuff to top up the depressions and the lorry took the whole track area, bloke did offer to move to let me through but after a quick chat, I pedalled back and took another path out, one I am not keen on due to reasonable drop and lots of loose aggregate.
My wee pegs felt it today :laugh:

Speed is okay if you aren't doing any techy stuff like slight overhangs, I'm more than happy to use bog standard speed.
You can change all the settings if you feel like it.
I have Ironing settings but don't use this often. Smoother finish on the top layers.
Take a figure of 10 for the .4 nozzle (standard), the smaller .2 would be twice the time, .8 nozzle would be half the time, complicating it all, is a .6 one too. I haven't bothered reading into nozzles. .2 tend to have some problems allegedly.
Twice the speed?
Maybe next, I'll get a .8 hotend.. a complete unit on my printer, much easier to change but dearer.
Must look and see size of 'nozzle' they use to 3D print homes...

The 'working' page of the slicing program I use... Obviously the r2d2 model

You were headed home and then you'd to turm around and go back the way you came. That's just cruel...
You didn't fancy climbing over anything, or get hit by a flying branch...
Nice of you not to make them move out of yer way though. As for taking the path less travelled, by yourself anyway....
Can't have done yer legs much harm yet. Yer still moving around on them...

Well, if it's giving you the results yer happy with, why mess with it.
It sounds like a lot of things, there's some settings that'll never be touched, or if they are it'll be just to see what they do.
What's the "ironing" do?
Is there a 0.1 or 1.0 nozzle. Give a sequence to their sizing, and what you could expect from the rest.
Problems, what sort that stops you or just gets downright annoying.
A larger hotend. How much a difference between that and what came on the printer.
Could you expect to see any real difference in what yer printing.
If yer looking at moving up to printing houses(cheap way onto the market) I think yet gonna need a bigger printer for starters. Then worry about the nozzle size.

A list of the parts required for yer R2-D2, and the colours. Assembly instructions seem easy enough when you look at that page. Then you move onto the first page.

If I built it up even with instructions, anyone can.
I put it off for a day and a half before attacking it.
What's next, soap dishes?:laugh:
The creator did supply a pdf file with photies etc.
I'll miss on buildings, fickle wx in these parts...

Ironing? it can 'smooth' the final surface on certain prints,
I haven't explored nozzle sizes tbh, todays google.
Hotends are the same size, just nozzle size.

Me? I just shrug, kick the invisible cat and work it out whilst having a good ole moan about it.
I just follow the bog-standard setting TBH,
On the last printer,
I slowed down the first layers speed as it starts it all off...

I'm off to GLA with youngest this morning, not the airport just a massive, big warehouse place for cakes...

Big cake warehouse by any chance. You had your say in what cakes were purchased.
Glasgow not high on yer list of favourite places now, when it comes to shopping.
Could you get a large hamster type wheel, let her wear herself out on it. Connect it to a generator and you could have free power...
You knew the weekend were round the corner, you turned it and it wasn't there. You've not forgot, it passed you by.
Down the Scout Hut?
A good time was had by all there...

Aye, hut of scout....
Cakes are made on the premises as well but never looked at anything else.
No orders to pick up anything else so a quick in then out,
end of month payday going by crowd there, busy, busy and we were in early too.

Wheel? she'd wear that out too...
A few days respite for us,
after R2D2, back to mundane stuff:cuppa:

Good morning :hello:
Some condensation on the windows this morning, autumn has arrived..
Sun now rising, best disappear for a few hours,
out with Mrs M laters:cuppa:
Owdo
There's no sun down these parts. Overcast with a feel of rain, and it were foggy earlier.
Refuse delivery, it's early getting to you. That or leave it unopened till it's time. How come you've condensation on the inside of the windows, thought you'd triple glazing.
If you disappear, will you know when to reappear.
Anywhere nice on yer out?

Enjoyed yerssen?
Cakes made there and you didn't get any, despite yer looking at nothing else. You okay...
Hokey Cokey shopping! Can be the best at saving you parting from yer money.
End o'month and a Bank Holiday weekend. Shops "shut" an extra day before the younger ones go back to school won't have helped.

Does that mean yer backup generator plan is a non-starter...
Respite and yer headed out on yer first day. Pace yessen lad...
After R2-D2, anything would look mundane.
Nifty looking, an' no denying it.

I always enjoy myself...
I got some mini Danish, they didn't have the usual sized ones..
Gotta say their cakes are soo good.

Ole R2D2?
Mrs M wants one to replace the one I had...
Need to order more white...
I estimated it used 14 quid of material, estimate 2.5 quids in power, I'll take that.
My time? free..

I'll start it off later but no hurry TBH...
