The voids comme from the arachne perimeter generator - since that's what the slicer uses in the letters, because they're too small to contain anything but perimeters. You can even see them in the slicer's rendition:

There seems to be a way to eliminate then - in the slicer anyway - by increasing the perimeter transition threshold angle from 10° to 40°, but I haven't tried it yet:

One-wall looks better anyway, so I'll try it again, without ironing this time.

Something tells me you'd have fun if you got yourself a printer and got into the hobby. Hint hint... 🙂

0.4 mm.

I mess around with one setting at a time, to find out what each of them does in isolation. At some point I will look into calibrating the rate of extrusion. But for now, I'm playing with simple options.

Also, it's not art. This is a piece of equipment for the shop floor. It's already plenty good enough. I'm just curious how to make it better 🙂

It was a joke but... I guess it didn't land 🙂

Orange cats have lived among us, boldly wreaking havoc with a level of confident stupidity that inspires both affection and bewilderment.

When I read "inspires affection" is when I realized this wasn't about Donald Trump.

I finally had time to look into this - in the slicer at least - and I think you're right: one wall should solve the issue. I can tell just by how the slicer arranges things. I turned on ironing too for the topmost layer. That should make it even better.

I'll go to the office to start the print today. It takes about 5 hours - and 20 more minutes just for the ironing of that one surface 🙂 I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestion!

This raises the question: why do you keep coming back? Do you enjoy being abused?

I did the practicum before the theory. It helped.

A white South African did that. Is anybody surprised?

I'll look into this. Thanks!

Arachne perimeter generator to Classic

Yes I do use arachne. I did try to change it to classic when I was messing with my 3D-printed lens experiment, and while arachne wasn't perfect, it left fewer artifacts inside the "lens" than classic.

I'll try to revisit classic for this one print.

doing an ironing pass on your top layer may help conceal this from an aesthetic standpoint but won’t do anything for you structurally

I'll try ironing, This one is purely an esthetic problem. The part is just a cover for a case that holds electronic bits inside.

Measured the real filament diameter before printing and corrected the slicer settings to the measured diameter?
Are the extruder steps calibrated?

No and I don't even know how to do that 🙂 The printer is the company's Prusa XL and we're using it as it came out of the box. I'm normally very happy with what it churns out, it's just that small esthetic issue on a part that bears the company logo, that we intend to sell to customers.

I'll look into that. Thanks!

Of course! I was just telling you what I do. I didn't claim it was perfect 🙂

My answer to this is to moderate from an instance that doesn't defederate any other instance (other than illegally egregious ones) - SDF.

Mobile Linux suffers from a chicken-and-egg problem: it may or may not be a better mobile OS, but ultimately it doesn't matter because your bank's mobile app or your state's online ID app only run on Android or iOS. Mobile Linux would have to be a lot bigger for app makers to bother releasing their shit on Linux, but it can't get bigger because people aren't using it because it's not a practical platform.

I'm not sure how this statement is unpopular. I don't have specific numbers, but I'm willing to bet the number of people who like Apple's golden prison and the advantages it brings equals those who'd rather suffer Android for the privilege of sideloading and using deGoogled ROMs.

The Cybertruck has always been a vehicle designed by a childish mind for equally puerile customers. Now it's also a strong indicator that you might be a bit of a Nazi if you own one.

So yeah, I don't expect it to sell too well, as most motorists are adults who tend to dislike Nazis, or would prefer it if they didn't have to worry constantly about their vehicle being defaced by non-Nazi adults.

You know, it's great that MAGA finally shows some decency. But here's the thing: fuck MAGA.

Make Apartheid Great Again.
