Oh man, check his profile on printables. He's got a 500 cig adapter. Man has designed the route to speed run cancer acquisition.

Agreed, I also miss the feature of being able to extend a screenshot on a page.

But uBO is a necessity now to browse the Internet. The ads are so bad now.

Had this happen as well with the GR86 trunk handle file that's on there as well. I made a make, tried to mark it as such, but was given the same error. Like with your case, the creator doesn't have an option for purchase/support.

My first VSO was a clip for this garnish/trim for some blinds my mom had. Due to the way the blinds fit in this specific window, my mom couldn't use the factory hardware to fix the garnish to the blinds, so for the longest time she was using adhesives which would fail over time. One day (shortly before my printer arrived) the garnish fell again and almost hit my cat, my mom expressed frustration over it, and over how she would have to go by more adhesives. I reminded her that I'm getting a printer, I could just make something that would mount it permanently.

My second one was two mounts for my IKEA lack enclosure. I wanted to make a Nevermore filter, so I needed a power supply. Thanks to working at an electronics lab, I managed to score the power supply from a server rack PC. It's absolute overkill for this, but it came out looking pretty clean, even modeled in a mounting hole for a simple toggle switch so I can activate the power supply without having to plug/unplug the unit.

The printer won't do any leveling with a fully heated nozzle.

The MK4's we use at work and my personal MK4 all heat up to 170 before bed leveling, and if you previously swapped filaments before leveling, the printer will pause and wait until the nozzle has cooled down to the target range before initiating bed leveling.

Yeah, this stuff is already pretty brittle to start with, but once it's been out in the air for a day or two it becomes even more brittle. You can easily snap it with the slightest effort.

It's pretty tedious to work with, but we have to use it.

We have access to a decent amount of tools at the lab, it's definitely feasible. We tossed around the idea, and honestly I may prefer that to a food dehydrator as all of the dehydrators I've seen have a cut off timer whereas the filament dryers we have can be run indefinitely.

I'll have to pitch that to my boss and see what he thinks. I've seen some people convert some water proof/resistant totes from Target to become filament dryers.

Thanks! I'll add this to the list. This looks like it could work well.

My boss and I discussed that, he'd rather not have to pay the labor to have us respool the filament when we could just drop it into a dryer.

But I'll show this to him, he may be open to the idea if it speeds up the process. Only potential problem is this ESD PLA filament is pretty brittle, I don't know how it will enjoy respooling.

It's a pain in the ass to set up and navigate, but I use Solidworks for hobbyists. It's $99/yr and it gets the job done for me. Since I use Solidworks at work, it's nice to have the same software for home so I don't have to worry about learning to navigate another CAD software.

I tried FreeCAD as well, and it's what pushed me to try the Solidworks subscription.

I really enjoy printing PETG as well. In fact for a while when I finally got my MK4 all I was printing in was PETG so I could whip up the parts for the lack enclosure. It's so far been pretty forgiving to print with.

Plus I like hearing the pops come from the part when it separates itself from the build plate as it cools down.

My MK4 is definitely a lot quicker than the MK3s we use at my lab. It's certainly not the fastest printer on the market, but I've been very happy with it so far.

And what's nice about it (from your perspective), you can very easily disable the WiFi permanently on it, given that the WiFi card is externally mounted on the board chassis and held in place with like one screw. I installed mine and finally was able to set up the PrusaConnect feature on it. I'm usually not a fan of cloud services but I trust Prusa more than I trust Bambu.

Regardless, if you can get your job site to fork the cash over for one, I have nothing but great things to say about the MK4. The nextruder and its LoveBoard will make maintenance on the hot end worlds easier and more convenient than the MK3 (which wasn't that bad to start with).
