Quantum 3D PrintCurrent events and new 3D prints.
I have figured out what is going on with the marketing of speed with 3D printers.
The issue with the marketing departments is they cannot sell intangibles in their marketing efforts. A quality print output is a perception by human judgement. In the world of 3D printing, there are far too many variables that will affect both produced and perceived output quality.
Been cranking hard printing on my two newest 2 filament printers. The Snapmaker J1 and the Cetus2. Best of both flavors, IDEX and single nozzle.
Neither, do I consider perfect a printer. Once I learned their individual weaknesses and work with their strengths, it has been all production and fun. Use them properly and 2 color FDM prints are very nice.
Hear the beat of the drums. Bongo drums. I wonder if it is a bongo drum or because there are two it should be plural? I think its a Bongo drum because the male and female (That’s what they are called) drums are joined as one and sometimes just called Bongos.
If I made two sets, then I would have Bongo drums.
I have an adult son, Steven. He is a professional class percussionist and started playing about 45 years ago. He presently has a huge drum collection. I bet he doesn’t have a set of baby Bongos.
For some reason of which I am yet to discover, My Tiertime UP Studio V2 threw some error messages at me that went away before I could comprehend what they were saying. Something about registration of/or something.
I have been using the program for over 5 years so I haven’t a clue what that was all about. This all happened on the MAC version. Haven’t checked WIN11 yet.
Y’all gotta know I like to design and print bowls. All sizes and shapes. Not always round.
This time I saw this bowl on a “Modern Marvels” cable TV program about coin operated devices. This bowl was full to the top with pocket change. The bowl shape intrigued me and I decided immediately I had to design/make one… or two…
A heavy looking “Michelin Man” three ring FAT bowl.
One creative mindset I keep working to maintain with 3D printing is that objects I design do not have to be printed in one piece. It is fine when that happens to work. I keep reminding myself that it is not a requirement.
All my other crafts shout, “Some Assembly Required!” It’s no different with 3D printing.
I am not obsessive with creating all-in-one designs. Like I say, just keep myself aware there are many good ways to create and design using assembly of components.
