Venkatesh Rao @vgr3d printing is a world of superstition and old wives' tales. Tricks I read/was recommended for getting stuck-on prints off the build plate: 1. Wait for it to cool so differential contraction breaks the bond 2. Take it off hot (while it's still soft at the bottom?) 3. Ice it... https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1297280695350341633 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -

The tolerance is a little off, so it’s not quite a snug interference fit. Wondering whether to reprint or use this with a bit of tape or something to line it for a snug fit. pic.twitter.com/WE4mbl0zt1Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -

Printing a roller for wife’s pottery experiments. Also just designed a stamp based on a photo she found, queued up to print next. Learned a few new OnShape tricks doing that. This is the most CAD I’ve done in 25 years.pic.twitter.com/eUarNoO4gt

Next personally challenge: figure out how to use the damn onshape spur gear generator featurescript.

Did it with OnShspe+Cura... haven’t used CAD software since 1996, which was ancient version of ProEngineer. Things have really advanced a lot. Browser+cloud-basedwith version control and all sorts of other crap.
