yeah afaik we get some rarer materials (wood,test materials like 10% metal, stuff for our printers for free from local places

just so we test em and invent around them

I should probably play around with the printers we have but I dont know CAD at all

one of my dads colleagues from belarus is a huge 3d printing nerd and he has some neat spray that he uses on prints

it melts the surface a bit and makes them all glossy and nice

it must be acetone

acetone is decent yeah... also jewelwry polishes and dremel

Maybe we need some more motivated people in control then I guess.
Besides the institute's ones, we got two public ones for all students. They run almost 24/7 even while you gotta pay for materials yourself (You can also use your own though)

arent the materials cheap af generally?

20bucks for a roll (750mg)

also, @Tervy do you know any good sites where people can upload their own 3d prints?

maybe I'll try printing a phone stand

Thinking about it

Anyone here tried some cheap chink printing material?

thingivverse is first one to come to mind

there is multiple ones

Kinda tempted now, but don't wanna melt in the university's printer

@Sdeck37 chink stuff is decent for demo/protype shit but not for end product

there is also Yeggi what is decent as is all3dp.com

afaik 4chans /3/ has more info about those

If it's an end product it'll be moulded anyway tbh

STLfinder is good one too

tho its important to remember to always check sizes and everything else

Grabcad is good one too

I'd add a notch on each side on that one

Also get some fine sandpaper, it'll make your prints feel 78% better

^this also quite accurate %

i keep tinkering with my printer because it never works quite right resulting in me basically never printing anything <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

>want a tablet

>then figure out tablets are useless anyways

>still want to buy one
