  • 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

    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










  • What I miss about this era of portable gaming was that it was:

    1. Portable

    2. Fun, pocket games had a different design ethos around it. Longer play sessions were allowed since you can play it everywhere. But it never made you feel like you couldn’t put it down since you might have to drop what you were doing to make your next connection. It’s why I think Pokemon has been so successful. Outside of the elite 4, you could pause at any time and moment with no penalties in your game.

    My recommendations for unique games for those who want them.

    Pixel Junk Monsters - Tower Defence

    The Sims 2 - Seriously a fun adventure game in the theme of the Sims.

    Patapon 1 or 2 - Rythem adventure game

    EveryDay Shooter - Twin stick shooter
