Any particular reason? That's a 10 (ish) year old design. Outside of nostalgia or deliberately checking out designs from that era, I see very little reason to pick this as a project.
I think the typical recommendation would be "the 100" (Link to GitHub). There are a few other projects like it. I think that should be a good starting point for a search though if that particular one is not your cup of tea.
We're in the age of easily accessible, great quality hardware though. Just from a performance point, 3d printing will be worse in most respects comparatively (still "good enough" though if using a modem design). Look at a Voron V0 kit as an example (or one of the other printers for ants, if you're looking for more complexity). Uses nothing but readily accessible parts, reasonably priced and incredible performance.
Germany's Hase Bikes is celebrating its 30th birthday by reinventing its first recumbent trike. The Kettwiesel One features Shimano pedal-assist, MacPherson suspension and the company's signature telescoping frame.
That is such a weird "headline feature" to be adaptable to different riders. I've never known someone who would regularly share or swap bikes with someone where this is needed. I need my bike to fit me. I buy adoringly and set it up once. I then never touch saddle height, handlebar position and whatever else is adjustable ever again.
If it brings production costs down for having less variants or sizes, sure. But who needs this as a feature so desperately that it's one of 3 l features even mentioned in this post (except for it being a trike in the first place, I guess).
There is no tilt shifting in that photo. Neither physical (by actually tilting a single lens inside the lens assembly) nor digital. What you're seeing as blurryness is just normal how camera focus works.
They may have applied a slight vignette blur to the edges, but it's really hard to tell with the light bleed on the left edge.
That may well be the case that this is what he means, but how would we know when he calls it tilt shift anyway? Cause that's not what "tilt shift" means.
If he wants to say it's photoshopped or whatever, just say that instead of using terms that clearly don't apply.
I lost four spokes on my morning commute when the chain decided to jump off the big cog. Of course I don't have a spoke protector. (Who needs a dork disc? Bad things won't happen if you keep your bike maintained. /s) I was lucky to skid to a stop rather than crash when the rear wheel locked up....
I had one broken spoke in around 40 years of cycling. I always thought it was basically impossible to break them, even if the bike is 20+ years old. I guess you just need the right (wrong?) circumstances...
I know this post is quite a few days old already, but I still wanted to add a bit to the discussion.
The printers you list vary wildly. Both in terms of design goals ("what is the printer meant to do well") and assembly requirement (from "ready to print in 10 minutes" to "you build this for like a week until something moves"). A Qidi is basically ready to go, a Prusa will take some time to put together (how much depends on if you got it as a kit or fully assembled). A Voron 2.4 takes about a week to build just for the printer, not including ERCF and/or tool changer, let alone tuning of said ERCF/tool changer.
Also there's the Troodon, which is a Formbot prebuilt that is closer to a real Voron 2.4 than a Sovol SV08, just to add to your list. It has a stock stealthburner tool head compared to the proprietary thing that Sovol uses, for example.
I've recently built a Voron 2.4r2 (Formbot kit) and loved it, but it was like my 4th printer (and a previous printer was a self-sourced scratch build). So do you have experience with 3d printers, and building them or tinkering with them? I would probably not recommend building one otherwise, but it's not impossible either, just expect a relatively steep learning curve if you have no prior experience.
Do you want to mostly just print in colors but same filament ype, or do you want to mainly have multi-material capabilities? So do you need 5+, or would 2 colors with the option to expand work for you?
If the Voron is a real option for you, I'd highly recommend it. Just make sure you're going with a can-bus based build/kit (like Formbot). These days I wouldn't go with an ERCF due to the complexity of building it and then setting it up, as tuning is supposedly a bit of a process. Also you mentioned that the amount of waste during multi-color prints is a real factor for you, and that puts single-nozzle systems inherently at a disadvantage as you just have to purge the hotend on every change. So I would suggest a tool changing system, and I would either start with that (but just 2 tool heads), or add it as the first project. Specifically, I would suggest using the Tapchanger as a modern system. Frankly adding a tool head like that is much less effort than building an ERCF, but also just adds 1 filament each and not like 9 at once.
What about the back of the bike isn't "a specific seat" to you? It has foot rests, and typically on bikes of that type you can add retention stuff for smaller kids.
I've been using one of the Pandora services, but I've been getting a little annoyed with the stations (which I presume I would get the same annoyance from other services, too). So I'd like to be able to create a station and add songs that I own and that wouldn't normally be in that station. (And I know you can add artists to the...
Spotify can actually do that, but it's a bit cumbersome: as the local songs to a playlist on a PC. Then set that playlist to be downloaded on the phone, and it will download the files directly from the PC as long as they are on the same network.
Hello all. I am very new to this but it is all very cool to me. I ran into a problem and I am not sure how to troubleshoot it. I downloaded a simple pull string helicopter off thingiverse. After running through the slicer software, the estimated build time is 131 hours. Relative to it’s size this seems insane. If I “run the...
A good rule of thumb is to just always use 0.2mm layers unless you have a very good reason not to.
That being said, this doesn't explain your truly nonsensical time prediction. It would just be double, since you have twice the layers to print. Like someone said, a few hours would be reasonable, certainly less than a day even with very fine detail.
and just posta screenshot of the sliced model that the slicer should show you, makes it much easier to recognize trivial errors like wrong orientation.
I'm sure the official slicer will have a good profile, maybe the speed for outer walls accidentally got changed to 1 mm/s? I don't usually use Cura (that is what their slicer is based on), but I think to change speeds at all you need to hit "show advanced" or something? So if you didn't change anything, that is even less likely.
If it's real pauses (print head stops completely), I have even less ideas what that could be.
When I get back home I can try to see what I get with your settings, probably just resetting everything should also work for you though.
