Hi Nils, is it possible to get the design and parts list of your door closer project somewhere? I would love to try to get that working here for a door that I or my wife usually forget to close properly. Thanks!
Hey @Maverickoen, I'm planning on making that available as part of an upcoming video release package but if you want to email me (nils at the 3d printing zone .com) then I'll be glad to send you what I have so far.
I have a different take on print speed. I started with a Printrbot 1405 Simple 7 yrs ago, and now use a modified Creality-10S (direct-drive, stainless-steel nozzle, noise dampers). Having worked in automated manufacturing, and having to look after the equipment ( because the companies I worked for were interested in one thing (so it seemed) and that is "throughput, throughput, throughput"). So, I have a different approach with my personal printer. I am not interested in speed performance, but rather form and esthetics. I am also not interested in a lot (goal is zero) post-processing. I also have a limited budget and want my printer to last. That said, I tune the speed well below it's "max performance", and tend to run in the high "teens" to "lot to mid-20mm/sec".
Eric here: And that's one of the awesome things about this whole 3D thing... we can do what fits us! I'm glad you were able to find that sweet spot that makes you keep going. I know some people get frustrated with the tuning and slowness, so they're willing to give some of that up for speed. I recently had a tall, thin print that I started at 200mm/s, but by the 4th try, I was at 40mm/s for the first 20%, then I lowered the speed workspeed to just 15%! Good night! The next morning it was done and awesome. So, I understand what you're talking about. Keep it up and stay tuned, we have a lot of awesome content coming soon! (BTW, you and Wyatt sound like you have a lot in common!) ;-)
Woot! Welcome, Eric and Wyatt! Super excited to see what you two have in store!
Agh missed opportunity. "Sock sold separately" 😂 Thank you for the tips

I just want to ask... we're all thinking it... is the sock a necessary part of the design???? 😛
Hi @@The3DPrintingZone , thanks for your reply! I'll be looking forward to the video! 👍

Want a good program to make 3d models blender is a good go to
Thanks, E.M.A., Blender is definitely a good one, and the price is right too!
I watch you on full screen and you are way too close to the camera to watch it in full screen mode. Just food for thought.
Thanks for the feedback. We were definitely pretty squished in the studio to fit all three of us. Generally we will be shooting a lot wider.
