She's gone quiet because it is her list of stuff that's occupied the printer for 2 weeks now. Currently running back-to-back-to-back 14 hour prints for her lingerie drawer (and burning through those Overture spools). If she keeps it up, SHE's going to get that X1 for valentines.
Besides, all this 3dP stuff is cheap when compared to my usual projects.
Ah, yes, I call it the industrial drawer complex. My wife has a gazillion boxes of different sizes in the drawers in her closet. I hadn't thought about the fact that I could make her custom closet drawer dividers/containers. DOH! Your WAF Kung Fu is better than mine, thanks for the tip.
If TinkerCad stole a few of the features from the old Sketchup Free, it could be truly awesome. I particularly struggle with measuring between 2 points (not the corners) on TC.
Don't even open OpenScad yet, I'm an old programmer and it still makes my brain hurt.
You're not likely to get a warning if an object detaches and sticks to the print head. What you will get is a blob wrapped around the hot end like I linked above. Don't ask me how I know this.

I am more than skeptical about all these supposedly fire-resistant enclosures on Amz. Since you're US-based, I strongly recommend a cheap-ish 1/4-inch cement board sold at the big box lumber stores --Hardiplank tile underlayment. It can be worked similarly to plywood. ...And I've tested it for other projects with a blowtorch.
I'd do a full enclosure, leaving only the front open. I'm going to mount the side panels on hinges so I can swing them back out of the way when I'm present. It is mostly the away that bothers me (mine is currently on a shelf in a big closet).
Ah, thanks. Mine is in one of my kids' bedroom (they are both out of the house). Don't really want to leave it there, but wife has completely taken over the office w/two different work-stations (work/personal) and her sewing machine, and the printer (the fan, anyway) is too loud for it to be in that room. Garage is absolutely stuffed so no good spot in there right now.
I keep my stringing machine on a rolling cart which I really like (it's bolted to the wood piece on top). Very convenient to store in a closet, and roll out when I want to use it. However, I have a feeling that this type of platform may not be a good idea for a printer (too jiggly), and would have to be much bigger to hold the printer's larger footprint.

I've had excellent results with these. I keep a big, heavy 10" miter saw mounted on one and a shaper on another. (I split it and make 2 out of 1 kit.)
I'm looking forward to trying these types of filament...just to make my life a bit more complicated, I guess. What are you planning on using those for?
Looks like one ingredient - that's the only difference I see in the descriptions. I'll get the orange, safer, especially since I have small dogs and if I dropped a few they might hoover them up.
Orange: Orange beads are free of cobalt chloride
Blue: Blue beads contain less than 0.3% Cobalt Chloride which may pose health risk if ingested in large quantities; Do not use for food or medication
However the lids are stupid tight! Iβm just printing another lid at 101% size to see if that is a better fit. Some designers just donβt take into account printing tolerances, which is very frustrating.
