YouTube has video nerds. There are very few advanced Makers on YT. People like Ben from Applied Science are on the short list. I tried making content for YT a few times but that is like a full time job. YT stopped promoting real low level Makers and community stuff around 2017. Prior to that I had something like 1k5 people I followed on there. When they got integrated into ISP with local caching they had to limit what people watched by promoting a much smaller slice. The result is that now advanced content is not promoted well. YT only wants people that can churn regular garbage like cable TV all over again. So he probably didn't even know. Still his niche is in transferrable design for a farm and that can be interesting.

If I was doing this design, I would build the fins from lower and taper pocket the bottom edge with a 45° pocket that enables them to print unsupported. It is possible to just leave a gap, or make a single wall riser near the tip to anchor the bridge but this will need printer and materials tuning with inconsistent results in my opinion. I think he was mostly showing off the abstract application of an unexpected idea people are likely to watch.

Ironing is as much about hardness as it is about smoothness. The extended heating will make the lower surface harder and might be workable on your home machine. Your flow rate in slicer settings will be critical for ironing because any bulldozing of material left behind will wreck you. Plus all that extra heat in a solid stack of layers is going to strongly promote warping.

If you're really tight on clearance for something like this, I have used typical glue stick. You just add a print pause and either some tape or very carefully apply glue stick just to the overhang clearance with a 2 print layer height gap. The glue may take a day of soaking in water or alcohol to completely soften and dissolve, but that is basically poor-person dissolvable print supports. That trick is really only worth doing for stuff like mechanical prints you want to embed in an assembly with tight clearance. It is a pain in the ass and certainly not a transferable design for a farm or file sharing.

Nah. Windows is stalkerware digital slavery of the soul. It comes back with shackles. The future will make this far more clearly the case.

Just do small test prints first. For a table saw feather board in PLA this worked but it is length and material dependant.

Calipers are consistent for the 2.6mm but too dead of a battery to charge the capacitive sensor past around 50mm so the scale shows ~63mm long. I think the optimum angle is around 30° but don't quote me. I just imported an image of another feather board and used it to get basic working dimensions. You only need to know 1 measurement in a flat image in CAD to calibrate the size for use in the background to draw your sketches on top of. With a table saw feather board, you know the slot dimensions. You could easily screenshot the video's sketch of the feather pattern here, import that and make a copy at any scale in FreeCAD. Mango Jelly has YT vids about this if you need them.

It is an interesting approach to use feather fingers to hold a lid. That one has never occurred to me in design, but I loath thick useless walls like this.

He kinda touches on the way sharp corners are an issue because of the overlap in the extrusion diameter at the direction change. The overlap in circles is ignored in the slicer so there is always some amount of over extrusion in corners without a built in radius matched to the tessellation resolution and step accuracy of the machine.

Personally, I prefer to make a slightly larger clearance for such an interface. Then I use a small round dimple between the parts in the center of the long wall. Any long wall will have some flexible compliance at the center. I use a small 2-4mm diameter dimple that is padded/pocketed 0.5-1.0mm with a similar tolerance to the part. The subtlety of this feature is far less likely to disturb the outer part perimeter wall smoothness. The trick is to design the positive dimple pad with a closer tolerance to one side so that contact pressure is held to prevent looseness.

What if your parts just fit—every single time—no matter what printer, material, or slicer settings you use?

In this video, we break down the proven design principles that eliminate the guesswork from tolerances in 3D printing. You’ll learn how to design press-fits, snap-fits, lids, and interlocking parts that are robust to shrinkage, color variation, and machine quirks. Rounded corners, chamfers, compliant features, and grip fins — we cover it all and show why designing for process is more reliable than tweaking slicer settings.

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to model your parts for perfect, repeatable fit — anywhere, anytime, on any printer.

 

What's your home setup?

 

Nutshell, until I build some calluses again. I haven't played much the last couple of years, but it has been a part of me 27 of 40 years, a facet now much larger than without. It is strange how much the music one first learns anchors the soul

Recent meme post prompted this as a needed reminder of what the issue with audio is, and how it should be fixed legislatively in a civilized world.

 

Sorry if abstract meta questions are not your thing. I find it interesting to discover other perspective views.
I was in the shower with the thought, "Is any narcissist self aware of their narcissism?"
Maybe meta awareness of narcissism is like intelligence, beauty, or hearing one's own voice. We may infer information based upon feedback, but lack an objective frame of reference.

On another level, I am aware of how I am abstract in functional thought, like inferencing across many unrelated spaces, and big-picture meaning. I'm aware of my intuition as it relates to others in general, but I'm not aware of my own beauty or intelligence as it contrasts with others.

Are there universal unknowns? Are we always ungrounded in all self perception; only overconfident in our self asserting narratives? What are your thoughts? Are you intelligently beautiful and teflon to the accusation of narcissism? Perhaps charisma is the ultimate superhero mask.

 

It is an abstract question that just crossed my mind after Lady Butterfly's post a few minutes ago in c/mental health.

To be clear, I do not mean whether one should apologise. I do not mean that the act of apologizing has no meaning. I'm specifically asking if the person that expects someone else to apologize is driven by their own narcissism.

I personally place very very little value on words compared to actions. The act of apologizing has a tiny value to me, but the words are nearly meaningless. One is defined by one's actions, not words, and not intentions. I never expect an apology. I want actionable, notable change.

I was physically disabled by a man and most of my life was taken away from me, but I still have no desire to hear some apology. In fact, it would come across as his selfishness for wanting to feel better about the chaos he caused if he tried to apologize. I don't want vengeance. The only apology I would value is some measure of ongoing restitution. Short of such an effort, I would feel insulted by the overture of an apology.

From this perspective, expecting an apology seems narcissistic to me, but I would like to know if you feel differently and are able to articulate a nuanced perspective.

Delta has a long-term strategy to boost its profitability by moving away from set fares and toward individualized pricing using AI. The pilot program, which uses AI for 3% of fares, has so far been “amazingly favorable,” the airline said. Privacy advocates fear this will lead to price-gouging, with one consumer advocate comparing the tactic to “hacking our brains.”

I just watched a Geology Hub upload on the Cerberean Caldera super eruption in what is now Australia. It happened over 300 million years ago, but in terms of the total age of the planet, even 300 million years is a relatively tiny blip. So have there been any significant epics to truly say events like x, y, or z will never happen again – in any statistically significant way? Will there be another Deccan or Siberian Traps or Columbia River Flood Basalts – one geologic timescale day in the future and countless more in the eons to follow?
