  • So the whole process.

    1. Print the first part, the first part has an interfacing slope which is 3d printer friendly. Which results in some stair stepping, but this time this is what we are trying to get.

    2. Remove the first part from the print bed.

    3. Start the second print.

    4. Auto stop the second print after the first layer, and align it with the first print. The first print has a notch which is used to align the 2 parts.

    5. Resume printing. The second print is design to print over air without supports, but with the first print in place it now prints on top of that and fuses the 2 parts together.

    The reason I am doing this is so I can print parts which is larger than my print bed, without using fasteners or adhesive to bond them together. This method basically welds the parts together. This was just a small test print to prove the theory


  • Close

    Yes I am trying to print 2 separate items, this was a test print but the idea would be a print larger than my print bed. I would use this to fuse them together.

    The design isn’t the box but the interface. It’s a long slope which causes stair stepping. But while this is considered a defect I am using it to mate 2 parts. First is a slope which is printer friendly then an adjacent slope which would print in the air but I stop the print after the first layer so it’ll print ontop of the already printed part which I position after the first layer.

    The models are designed in cad since this is going to be apart of a bigger part. Don’t want to share that yet because it’s not designed yet.

    The parts are designed to fuse, that’s the point of this design. Again it’s designed for parts bigger than my print bed.







  • Because the Liberals who came before him were worse, and to those who keep voting for him, haven’t changed.

    With that said even in the snap election the Conservatives weren’t as popular as duggie is thinking he is. Rural towns flipped Liberal though not enough of them.

    The Ontario Liberal and NDP parties need to get their act together and start cleaning up since the last election the campaign on “we’re better than Dug” when dug was very popular with his hard stance on Trump


  • I got 4 of them. Miyoo A30, an R36s (clone), Anbernic RG28XX and Anbernic RG35XXH

    The R36s clone is a scam. Good cpu/GPU for the price, but the buttons and speaker is bad. Add to the fact the software sucks you should avoid.

    Miyoo A30, it’s a fine mini console, love the soft touch buttons. Don’t love the lack of RTC (took forever to fix Pokemon Emeralds clock) and the lack of a headphone jack. But when I got it, it was $30 - $40CAD and for that I can’t complain.

    Anbernic RG line of handhelds are all the same. Same performance and same compatibility. The 28 is almost the perfect mini system. Headphone jack, enough buttons for up to PS1/GBA games my only gripe is the loud clicky buttons. Not easy to play in a doctors office.

    35 has the same issues, loud shoulder buttons but it’s bigger build makes it easier to play more. Since it has 2 analog sticks VB and N64 games are open to play, and while it’s jank even DS games are playable. This is the one I recommend.

    My only advice to make these handhelds better.

    1. get custom OS installed. The Stock OS area joke and will not get updates.

    2. get your own roms. Ignoring the fact that what they are doing is piracy, wiping the hardware and putting your own roms in makes your system feel like yours.

    3. find what games you want to play first, Miyoo a30 can’t play PSP but Anbernic can so finding out which emulators your systems needs to run is helpful
