it seems there is a mini game of filament management where you have to constantly keep it dry

Eh. I keep all mine in a cupboard with all the silica that comes in the packaging.

Haven't had any issues at all, and its been humid around here for awhile.

3D printing can be very time intensive depending on what you are doing, how often you use it and how good you want your prints to look.

I haven't any major problems with pla. Get some minor stinging you can easily remove after it's been out but part integrity is fine.

Has anyone found any good AI stl generators?
Chatgpt had been able to generate me some very basic stuff.

so first 2 weeks w/ a 3d printer has been pretty set and forget, first things i printed were for the printer, a scraper, a poop chute, i bought dessicant and printed out spool holders for it. tried the vacuuming bags, 3/10 failed, i'll just do cereal storage.

decided to try my hand at cad (it's been since high school since i touched cad), decided right away i needed a 3d space mouse, saw i could print one out

i'm gonna wire it up tonight, there were other ones i was interested in that used hall effect switches, but this one had a more straight forward guide, i just wanted to get it up and running.

some organizational things like a under table keyboard drawer and stuff, really what i wanted it for, just to organize shit.

so far i've been tackling this

it's basically a nice clean way to store your folded tshirts, idk how many i've printed out, maybe 30? each one takes like 1hr 16 to print out, to try to cut down that time i got rapid pla filament, that only took out 3 minutes, and i put the machine on "ludicris" speed, that cut it down to 1:06, but it moves like it's possessed, my desk is literally moving away from the wall, i had to put weights at the feet to halt the poltergeisting.

my nephew asked me about doing warhammer minis but i'm pretty sure thats more for a resin printer
