Thanks for the advice. I'm still learning, so what makes you say regular supports would be better for this compared to tree? I always struggle to get off tree supports from thin/skinny parts and end up breaking them.
I did that last night, but couldn't get the supports to show up for under the gourd like thing.
. I thought may be orca knows it better than me on supports, but sure enough it detached itself midway. What's worse, I woke up this morning and tried to remove the supports on the face, and they were super hard to remove. I pulled them with needlenose pliers and ended up ripping off the whole face of the instrument. Are my settings wrong, or did I just let it cool down too much? I used the settings from here https://www.reddit.com/r/OrcaSlicer/comments/15yjz2a/best_tree_support_settings_ive_used/
I think the issue is at least partly due to a wobbly table. I just took off the printer and placed it on the floor, redid the self test, and it's printing a lot better than before.
That's a great perspective, thank you. Come to think of it, I used the Dremel tools I had to sand/shape the sound guides I 3d printed from my library, so in a way I too am making use of stuff I learned/bought before. To be frank. I'm proud of my ability to learn and get interested in new stuff too, but I'm disappointed in how I abandon things just as quickly. I will keep your perspective in mind in future. Maybe it will help me be more forgiving of myself and remind me I still retain what I learned and to make use of it. Thank you!
That's kind of exactly me. I have a bunch of discarded hobbies. I have hundreds of dollars worth of esp32 circuit stuff, rotary woodworking stuff, musical instruments, sewing machines, power tools, painting supplies, fitness equipments, etc. collecting dust because I get super into something for a while and then don't touch them anymore. At this point, I don't even know if I should actually get a 3d printer.
I've been printing some accessories for my xreal glasses at my local library and some trinkets for my kid, but to be quite honest I don't have any specific things I need to print. I'm looking at functional prints to get an idea of what things I can print lol.
That would be amazing, thank you! If you could also give me the project file, I'll use it to learn how to do it.
