You can change the nozzle and bed temperature in your slicing program

It sounds like your issue is more widespread than just your room. Unless your landlord is willing to treat the building you will continue to have issues. The bugs will be attracted to the heat of the light so the more you have it on the better it works. You shouldn't have to change the water everyday. But at least twice a week is a good idea.

You can use any type of soap, it is easiest to use the liquid soap. The reason you add the soap to the water is that the soap reduces the surface tension of the water making it harder for the bugs to stay afloat.Try moving the set up closer to where your dog normally sleeps.Yes, fleas are visible to human eyes.You do not need much soap, just enough to make the water slightly bubbly.

glad you got it figured out. have you gotten your printer all set up and printing? What have you made so far?

I'm glad this IBLE helped you out. Sorry to hear you got a bum build plate. The glass plate should be a nice upgrade.. I am still using the stock build plate for now but eventually I plan to upgrade

so much good information. thanks for taking the time to make this IBLE

nicely done. great job. good luck in the contest.

Any open weave cloth should work fine if you are just placing it into a container that will be still. If the satchel will be moving around a lot the liter might fall out through the loose weave of the cloth.

Nicely done .. i was going to make an entry for the coffee contest with the same idea ... you best me to it lolBest of luck

Good coffee for a good cause :)Nice idea

usually when i have had issues with bed adhesion it has been one of two things:either the part I was trying to print did not have enough surface contact with the bed and got bumped off orthe bed temp was too low and the part did not stick wellbrims or rafts solve the first problem, upping the bed temp solved the second (these days i usually run at a bed temp of 60 degrees Celsius for printing in PLA)

Once I got my bed leveled I have not had to make any major adjustments to it since (no everyone is that lucky from what I have read)If I have not used the printer in a few days I will run a bed test before starting a new project to make sure nothing is out of whack (you never know with is going to get tampered with 3 kids in the house lol) Did your part come loose from the bed, or did your print just start making a stringy mess?

So glad this helped you outDon't forget to take pics and post them in the "I made it "section :)

The wheels do not weigh that much so you can just bungie them on top of your kayak. And if you seal the tubes properly then the whole assembly is watertight and it will float if you drop it

The temperature can be set in the slicing software. I recommend watching the TeachingTech video mentioned in the Thingverse post that I linked to.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yIebnVjADM&feature=youtu.be&t=266TeachingTech does an amazing job of explaining each step

it looks like your front left corner needs to be moved up very slightly. it is better to make small adjustments and get it dialed in right than to make a large adjustment and have your nozzle gouge the bed liner.

if you dont have a gooseneck lampthat is flexible enough to fit, you can set the trap near the bed instead of under it. the light and heat will attract the fleas

I am looking forward to trying this.by the way .. mayo also makes a beautiful "crust" on a grilled cheese sandwich when used in place of butter. you get a crispier finish to the bread. try it.. you'll love it :)

Wow. Beautiful work. Well documented. Keep up the great work.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it

well done. good luck in the contest

using the materials i listed in this IBLE I was able to get 8 full toolbox kits with minimal left over material.

Using the graph side of the wrapping paper is a great idea.

Nice job Matt. Now comes the challenging part ... talking the kids into helping me make tiles lol

I got most of them about 16 years ago when D&D minis were sold in variety packs. I didn't mind getting duplicates since most of the time the party is encountering more than one monster.I wish they still sold those. buying minis individually is cost prohibitive.

This is a great way to amass an army of minis for gaming without breaking the bank. I have a storage tote full of D&D minis and every once in a while I will need to make a paper mini for a monster that I don't have or don't have enough of for the encounter. The paper minis work great until I can make a permanent replacement. I am in the process of 3D printing ancient dragons, both good and bad, in all the colors. I recently finished Bahamut the platinum dragon .. he has a 15 inch wingspan MUH HA HA HA HA

Sorry wayfarer, I agree with danthemakerman. This is simply his version of a long existing tool. (bread lame) A lot of the commercially available models do use a doublesided razor blade just like the one in this IBLE, and most of them don't look half as nice.Well done Dan .. good luck in the contest.

That is cool. Glad you had a good time on your trip. I have not heard of that particular model of Toyota here. I wonder if it is available in the states or if is strictly a European model vehicle .. I will have to look

I am assuming it would work for any kind of fungi, but I have no experience with "exotic" shrooms

I did not kmow that about the flavor change as they get older, but it makes sense. It is kind of like bananas .. the closer they get to being "over ripe" the better they taste because the starches change to sugars.

I did not know that about shiitakes. Thanks for sharing that.

Nice work. What did you use to make the dreads on the predator mask?

I can not give a fully informed comparison between 3D printers since I have only used the 3D printer that I have, an Ender 3 Pro made by Creality. I have nothing but good things to say about it . Set up was easy, it is very user friendly, a fast learning curve to get it all dialed in. It retails for under $300, so it is a great beginner investment.

Thank you so much for writing about this journey. As a dad I can totally agree with you. Even when your kids think they are too old for something or you are just being "Dad the Doofus", Keeping giving them the opportunities to make these wonderful memories, they will last a lifetime!

All very good idea. thanks do much for your input.In case you want to make a holder out of wood, the dimensions of the batteries I used in the holder are:AAA - 10.5mm / 0.41 inchesAA - 14.5mm / 0.57 inchesC - 26.2mm / 1.03 inchesD - 33.2 mm / 1.3 inches9v - 26.5mm x 17.5mm / 1.04 x 0.69 inchescr2032 - 20mm / .78 inches

not nearly as much free time as I would like LOL. Batteries never seem to stay contained in their boxes once they are opened in my house. Batteries seem to breed in my junk drawer the way wire coat hanger breed in empty closets :)

YUUUUUUUUUUM!!every time i see cannolis I think of that line from the godfather ... "Leave the gun ... take the Cannoli" because they are just that important lol

wow. an amazing job.

thanks

Thanks so much. Nothing says lovin' like red and pink Starburst lol. Thanks for making these small challenges (robot and the Christmas ornament) please keep up the great work.

Brilliant design. Keep up the great work.

Thanks :) .. I am by no means a guru on the subject, but if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me and if I can help you I will.

Thanks. If you make one please post it in the I made it section

I have never heard the term "pickle and varnish". Please explain.

Since you have insulated the floor, how noticeable is the difference in the shed?

Thanks so much for an awesome explanation of modifying a 3D model. I am very new to 3D modeling and printing so I am still on steep learning curve. That bit about how scaling using cura will change the tolerances as well as the size. I never would have thought of that (at least not until I had wasted alot of filament and said some inappropriate words LOL)

That is one heck of an impressive finger nail trimmer you made.Well done!

OK .. good to know . Thanks for the speedy response

Not sure if this was fixed on the back end or it just took time for it to populate the banner, but they are all there now.

Since this reply is from 10 years ago, I was wondering if certain keywords causing "hand vetting" before publishing is still a thing.If so, is there a list of keywords that cause this?
