I like printing those flexi Dino’s.

It’s for my niece. Honest. Grown men don’t play with Dino’s….

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

We may experience some turbulence then explode.

the color changing with temperature plastics are a good choice, my niece likes the purple to pink one

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

my niece likes the sparkly stuff. That you know... destroys nozzles.

Ah the things we uncles go through, huh?

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tungsten steel nozzle.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I use the microswiss hardened nozzles they last well enough for the price points. unless you're going to go up to the ruby tipped nozzles, they're still going to wear out with just about any of the abrasive filaments.

I recently tried some dual-color silk filament. Half the filament is one color, half is another color. It makes cool looking parts that are different colors on each side.

I'd play tho

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

(I mean, that’s the joke, right? I do play…. Even when no one is around. Actually? Helps me focus; gives my mind a rest from problems for a minute, if that makes sense.)

The articulated print-in-place animals are such great gifts.

They are fun and look magical how they are just printed as one piece.

I also like the NASA fabric, it is like 3d printed chain mail, but then futuristic

Your niece will love it if you 'scale to print volume' (in prusa & super slicer)

Did an articulated dragon on an ender 5 plus. It is over 4 foot long. My daughter loves it

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

that... would make a dragon that's larger than the niece is.

I shouldn't do that. It'll give her... ideas.

(who am I kidding, this is what uncles are made for! the only way this could possibly get any better is if there's LEDs and a pi pico.)
