If you use Fusion360 for designs you share publically, you basically telling _every_ Linux user that you hate them and want them to suffer.

Just give me a STEP file, please. Or better, use software that isn't run by a company that hates Linux so much they _remove_ support from acquired products.

I tried this with distance joints too, but that still had issues, though different ones. Solver was still spewing weird errors.

In fact, even just having the slider joint between carriage and rail spews solver warnings about a grounded object moving whenever I move it.

OK, having solved _one_ #FreeCAD 1.0 Assembly issue, I've now hit another. I have a rail, two slider joints for two carriages, and a hollow section connected to both carriages with fixed joints. If I try to move this combination.... well, see for yourself. Plus, the solver just... spews C++ error messages constantly.

Again, anyone who knows why this happens, I appreciate the help. This is FreeCAD 1.0 release, _not_ dev.

So, _four_ print attempts, and _two_ painting attempts later, here she is, the wood queen!

I won't link to the model, because it's not only badly-supported, it's also badly-designed, which means supporting her is damn near impossible. Hence the four attempts.

Pro #3DPrinting tip: do not forget to put your print sheet on your heated bed, then crash your preheated nozzle into your bed, melting a hole in your magnetic sticker.

Not that this happened to me or anything...

nostr:npub19sdzmtpggrjt7mm0egnx4ck0694hsc3cqx4jgyuav4mcqcl9ztjs63u6lg I'm not knowledgeable enough about hotend cooling to really say for sure whether airflow or static pressure matters more. However, either way, I believe going to a 3010 would be better, not least of all because it's about the smallest fan anyone runs as a hotend cooler.

#3DPrinting experts: on a textured PEI sheet, should I still be using a separation layer (like glue) for PC? I've done a few prints on bare PEI, and it's starting to mar the texture and change its colour, though not severely.

Note: this is _not_ a question of adhesion or warp prevention. My Z-offset is correct (and going higher didn't prevent this marring anyway), and adhesion hasn't been an issue.

However, unless you live in New Zealand, it's extremely expensive due to shipping.

Pulled the trigger on a QidiTech XPlus-3. If you hear me raging against yet another manufacturer in a few weeks, you'll know why.

More seriously, the printer seems super-solid, and QidiTech have been responsive and reasonable so far. Best customer service in this space since Prusa IMHO.

I've only really used the Polymaker silks, and while they did need a temperature bump, I never had issues to that level with layer adhesion.

I would post a picture, but Aurarum's super-wet filament made the print kind of hideous (though it'll still work as a jig).

Thanks again for your help!

nostr:npub12atwfrq4rfv7fqara6gzsgrgj7k8ngewzl5nzs46agwyxzh0e25qxlme5y For reference, I needed to use a combination of Dimafix, maximum bed temp (100C) and a brim. However, I was _probably_ over-insuring: I suspect the brim isn't necessary, at least for the part I was printing (fan shroud for the KP3S Pro V2).

For the fan shroud in question, I definitely gain something over the original annealed PLA-CF one: original weighed 24g, this new one only 16g.

I am quite impressed with Polymaker's PolyMax PC. Unlike the PolyLite PC (which is finicky as hell and basically not printable without an enclosure), PolyMax PC can be printed un-enclosed. It also flows better, warps considerably less, and comes in a range of different colours. Definitely will use this one more.
