Great for fixing items around the house. Anything that is plastic or could be replaced with plastic can usually be printed. Also great for hardware and jigs. I’ve had mine for a bit over a month now and have been constantly running it. Check out printables or thingiverse to get an idea of what people are printing. Both are websites people upload models to.
Do it! I recently purchased one and love it. Feel free to ask questions if you have any.
I think that might be your issue. Gel stain from minwax should be wiped off after 3 minutes. Anything longer can cause the issue you are experiencing. I would try to wipe/sand off the finish and start again. On a side note, we need to do that to our banister/railing in this house. The previous owner of the house apparently liked the THICK look of the gel stain.
How long did you leave the stain on before wiping it?
There are European based seed banks. Also they share a border with the Netherlands.
We make a homemade version of the canes sauce. It’s just a bunch of standard condiments. Before that I had family mail me bags of it from Zaxby’s (same sauce). They would sell them massive camelback like bladders full of sauce.
Well so much for that thought: [Bob Nightengale] Stephen Strasburg will continue be paid $35 million annually through 2026 (with about $11.4M deferred each year). He then will receive $26.6M in 2027, 2028 and 2029 in his owed deferred payments. The contract was not insured, leaving the #Nats on the hook for its entirety.
That is a lot of money to leave on the table - I wonder if he worked something out with the Nats for a buyout. If not, this is great for the future of the Nats. Opens up a significant amount of cash the next few years.
What a horrible last month or so for Angels fans. Struggle after a trade deadline where you were buyers instead of getting something in return for Ohtani. Ohtani has a rough month where he ultimately has a torn UCL. Trout goes back on the IL this night as well. Who knows what the team looks like next season. Sorry Angels bros!
It’s a joke from South Park
If you live near a Microcenter you can get it for even cheaper: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/specialoffer3dprinter3i.aspx
This deal is not always limited to new customers. I bought a month or so ago on sale at this price and I shop there regularly.
Run the auto level on the printer. Once it finishes it will zero out where it thinks the z is. You can then adjust it down to the correct level. Too high, stuff won’t adhere to the plate. Too low, it squishes it. Just right, and you get the picture.
You can use a piece of paper as a guide or a feeler gauge if you have one.
I’d imagine the steps are very similar on the s1 pro.
I have the S1 (non pro version). I purchased it around a month ago and have been loving it! Sure, it requires a little bit of tinkering, but ultimately if I have the z-offset correct for the first layer, it prints great. I imagine there are quicker printers out there, and ones that have more features. But for an entry printer, I cant complain. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
I appreciate the tips - I printed using the same settings you used and it turned out great! Ill get it mounted to the wall later today.
You don’t even need a pi for this option. I’m running octoprint off an old android phone and it works great.
Thanks for sharing the files. I just found my skateboard from when I was younger and wanted a way to display it!
Oh dang, I misread another comment you made. With regular stain the longer you leave on usually the darker it just makes it appear. But as long as you fully wiped off the excess after it should have worked out. That said I’ve only used stain on actual wood. Haven’t tried printing wood PLA yet.
