Probably my largest print to date:
LCD cover and rPi case for OctoPrint. Estimated at seventeen hours.

It's a domain level, with dates as level names, not ages.
Imagine if it was a building and the floors were named 2003, 2008, 2012 and so forth. It's still floor 1, 2, 3 but just with names that seem like they are tied to years.
But it's not age, it's sets of functionality.
But weren't they released in the year they are labeled?
Sort of. But they are feature sets. Name any other feature set that you think of as having an age, regardless of the fact that someone had to select said features at a given time.

That feels like it would just be better to buy a pre-made case, lol.

WOW that's a long print. Didn't really know print times/speeds of 3D printers.
Good i wish Lockdown would be over! Going to help a mate set-up a "Games Club/Cyber Café" in his "old shop" and will have a 3D printer for people to use.

Pre made isn’t custom fit. Nor will it include the right mounting points to the frame.
Current stage:
Final product.
The back of the LCD panel doesn’t come with a cover. This does two things, cover and case for OctoPi.
-
Time and speed depend on a number of variables.
Nozzle size, temperature of the filament, flow rate, speed of the hot end travel, quality setting (fine to course) and the biggest maybe
Size of the project.
I’ve only had it three weeks, about to actually use it maybe 10 days.
Reading and learning in the down time, different softwares, slicer settings and mechanics.

They vary, a LOT. Especially by material.

@gjacobse @scottalanmiller
Yeah just never really looked at it, was going to get me one after getting a bonus thingy last year. But decided not to as don't think i'll use it enough. But hopefully if my mate hurries up i'll have access to one

Re-doing my ELK Stack this time on Ubuntu 20

20.04 (old) or 20.10 (current)?
Ubuntu pushes their LTS release, which I don't recommend unless the application requires that bad behaviour.

Fiber cut in our area causing outages. None of our offices affected directly but some of our users are down.

Does a headache, monster and Windows 7 to Windows 10 equal?

I only use BT with a mouse on my laptop. Which since I am home I do not even turn on most of the time. Since I have a desktop.

State Holiday; home with the kids.
Finished a 15hr print: AA/AAA battery holder.
Built a frame for a mold, about finish now... will be used in leather work (not by me).
Gotta research some Cad option as I don’t want to limit myself to TinkerCad. But I’ve had okay results so far, even for the third project and maybe two hours of work...
Doesn’t seem to bad for a ‘no marketable skills,’ ‘obtuse,’ ‘did you google that’ person-

Here's a laundry list of software from a 3DP website.
The names I know off hand here are Blender and LibreCAD

TinkerCAD is really good for making 3d prints with, even for more complex models. If you do need to move up to something like PRO-E or Solidworks, it's gonna get really expensive. I've never gotten the hang of using Blender properly, many have had success with it, so definently check that out as well.

Thanks, I know of both, and will look at the list - Never used Blender but have tinkered with LibreCad. And likely will go that way.

Oh no,.. LOL.. I'll never get to the level where I need to look at AutoCad or Solidworks. This is a hobby - not a job.
