Too late, I’ve come from Reddit and I’m here to tell you to level your bed
post
Lemmy in general has been much more pleasant, but we will have to be proactive to keep it this way
How much does it cost you for 3d printing a miniature?
That’s great, does your estimate include the electricity costs as well?
I would assume electricity costs are minimal for resin printers. I haven't measured mine, but the only major power consumers in a resin printer are the Z axis motor and the UV LED. The UV LED isn't continuously on and the Z axis doesn't do a ton of movement. Compared to an FDM printer that is constantly running two heating elements and moving a heavy hotend all over the place, the power consumption should be a tiny fraction.
This is why we don’t want Reddit to completely die - we need all the A-holes to stay there and wallow in their misery.
Reddit refugee here as well.
PLA ISNT FOODSAFE!
Thank you kind stranger. I keep seeing people on yourtube use it for animal bowls.
Typically the animals drinking from those bowls are not food, so it probably doesn't have to be foodsafe?
Have you tried leveling the community?
Just wait for the 9,000th repetition of the same three posts and it'll start getting sassy.
"Your print problems are almost certainly because you haven't properly trammed and offset the bed."
"PLA itself is foodsafe, filament additives may not be, and print texture is a bacteria farm."
"Consensus starter printer in each price bracket right now is..." (actually not as obvious as it has been, some Ender3 variant and Bambu P1P? That one isn't as tired as the other two because it changes over time.)
IDK, I remember most of the 3d printing subs being pretty chill.
Anyhow, welcome to the community!
