<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Introductions]]> 2025-12-27T07:18:11Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/ <![CDATA[Ahoy hoy]]> So happy to find this board! Starting a new project to breathe new life into my 10 year old XYZ v1.0 I haven't used in quite awhile.  Glad to see there's lots of support and people who know a lot.  I miss the old internet, nice to see BB still are a thing in 2025.

I have been informed that, as a new member, I should have introduced myself before posting any questions.
Excuse me, I did just that, asked a question that is..sorry.
I'm Steve, brand new to all of this 3D game and keen to learn.
Is it ok to post asking for advice now or do I need to wait for approval/confirmation?
Any help/ advice on this would be appreciated.
TIA
Steve

I have had fun reading a small section of it recently and decided it was time to stop reading and add to the discussion.

I would love to hear from anyone else interested in 3d printing their own components, and using a Raspberry Pi to construct a %100 DIY 3d scanner capable of producing HD scans of objects to STL file.

The project I would like to base mine off of, is the Atlas3d, which conveniently already has a home here on Soliforum, and a Git which I can fork off of (FreeLSS). Its a huge undertaking, and while I would love to claim to be able to solo this, any help would certainly be appreciated!

Even if you arent interested in contributing to the project -- Would you be interested in 3d printing your own 3d scanner?

It would involve working with sensitive electronic components, and assembling based off instructional forum posts and in time, videos.

Then I changed my job, but I want to try to implement my new job with some 3D printed things.
I bought an obsolete solidoodle to start.

I just inherited an old , but box-fresh, XYZ Davinci Jr from a friend who'd never even opened it. It's in very good condition apart from the supplied filament having gone brittle. I've managed to wind some fresh filament onto the old chipped XYZ spool, and now I have about 100 meters of prints to do before I have to figure out how to make my own NFC tags or some other solution to evade XYZ's DRM.

As you can imagine, it looks like I have about ten years of forum posts to read back through!

Any advice is welcome and if you have an XYZ Smart Tag to sell, even better! big_smile

So far me and my kids have done about four successful prints and are loving it!

I wrote Anchorscad (https://github.com/owebeeone/anchorscad) which is a Python API for making OpenSCAD models.

My new X1 Carbon with AMS needs to be fed some multi-material models so my next project for Anchorscad is to add multi-material support.

The first issue is, STL doesn't hack it so I need to figure out the workfow. Current thought is to build 3mf files from STL generated by OpenSCAD. It doesn't seem like there are any tools for that in Python just yet but it seems easy, what could possiby go wrong.

Anyway hi!

Hello fellow gardeners and DIY enthusiasts!

I'm in the early stages of planning a greenhouse project to extend my gardening season, and I've heard that polycarbonate sheets are a great option for glazing. I've done some research, but I'm still a bit overwhelmed by the variety of polycarbonate sheets available. I thought I'd reach out to this knowledgeable community for some advice.

Here's what I'm looking for:

Durability: I want the greenhouse to withstand heavy winds and snow loads, as I live in an area with harsh winters.

Light Transmission: I need good light diffusion for optimal plant growth. I've read that some polycarbonate sheets come with special coatings for UV protection and light diffusion.

Insulation: Since I plan to use the greenhouse year-round, insulation is crucial. I want to maintain a stable temperature without excessive heating or cooling costs.

Ease of Installation: I have some DIY experience, but I'm not a professional. I'm looking for sheets that are relatively easy to cut and install.

Cost: Of course, budget is a concern, so I'm aiming for a balance between quality and affordability.

Do any of you have experience with polycarbonate sheets in greenhouse projects?

What brands or types of polycarbonate sheets have you used, and how did they perform?
Any recommendations for thickness (e.g., 6mm, 8mm, 10mm)?
Are there specific coatings or treatments I should consider for UV protection and light diffusion?
Tips for installation or any potential challenges I should be aware of?
I really appreciate any insights and advice you can provide. Your experiences will be invaluable in helping me make the right choice for my greenhouse project. Thanks in advance!

At present, advertising luminous words generally use LED luminous words, beautiful in the daytime, bright at night, energy saving, many advantages once the market to start a prairie fire quickly popular.
      However, in recent years, as a new form of advertising characters, 3D printed advertising luminous characters have a certain three-dimensional sense and give people a strong visual impact. Both the production process and the labor cost brought unexpected surprises.
      The materials used for 3D printing advertising luminous characters not only require good printing performance, but also need to have good strength, toughness, weather resistance, etc., which can stand up to the sun and rain for a long time. According to the requirements of luminous characters, 3D printing materials are usually divided into transparent materials and light-blocking materials, which can meet the requirements of varied luminous characters. When printing, the combination of light-blocking materials and transparent materials can also make color advertisement luminous characters.
      eSUN is a world-renowned brand of 3D printing materials, and has become one of the most popular brands in the field of 3D printing consumables with its advantages of stable quality, rich variety, high cost performance and wide application. eSUN fans have made many successful application cases in 3D printing advertising luminous characters.
      In order to meet the needs of fans for 3D printing advertising luminous characters, eSUN also launched a dedicated 3D printer for 3D printing advertising luminous characters -- iSUN3D-AD400.
      3D printed advertising luminous characters can bring intuitive and high-quality visual experience to users. eSUN's 3D printed advertising luminous characters solution improves the efficiency of advertising characters production, greatly reduces labor costs, and undoubtedly injects new vitality into the advertising sign industry.
