Ah shame, I did a quick simulation and shipping rates + taxes would more than double the cost.

Was it Weird Al’s “Canadian Idiot” by any chance?

Ah damn. Although if your local manufacturer ships to the rest of Europe, I’d be happy to try it out ;)

That’s a very low price. Is it quality filament ? Have any links ?

Thanks !

Sim racing and story-rich games mostly. Not the kind of games you can start and stop on a whim 😅

I use a planning tool where I add everything I need to do so I don’t forget and/or procrastinate. I add my hobbies as regular chores in my daily todo list. Somehow, it’s easier for me to think “I have to play video games today” rather than “I want to play video games today”.

Yeah the most valuable skill when designing parts is to learn how to design for the process. Print orientation should be decided in the earliest stage so as to maximize strength where it counts, reinforcements to compensate for layer lines weakness should be baked in. FDM prints behave like wood: strong across the grain, weak through the grain.

If it wasn’t for the groove, my first advice would have been to redesign the part so it could be printed sideways.

Yeah sure.

Something like that:

The triangular cross section would be much easier on the printer.

There are a few major issues with your design that we could fix to make it work.

• your feet connect to the frame at a right angle. You’re concentrating all the forces on a single layer line that would easily fail. Spread the forces by adding a fillet between the feet and the frame
• your vertical and free standing parts are waaaaay too thin. From empirical observation, I’d say anything free standing under 5mm thickness is guaranteed to fail. You could easily add strength by using a triangular or U-shaped cross section. Not only the part will be much more rigid and solid, but also more stable while printing. Think I-beams or U-beams vs. flat stock in construction, with the added issue of the massive anisotropy of FDM fabrication.
• As others have said, if you absolutely want to keep it thin, print the frame separately from the feet flat on the back so the forces are perpendicular to the layers. A V-shaped groove will print without supports. 45degs will be fine, depending on your printer you might event get away with shallower angles.
• if you want to keep it as a single part, you might consider printing it at 45 degrees from vertical. Layers would have much more surface area compared to the current flimsy ones, and you might even not need as much bulk as vertical printing. Most usual forces would be spread at 45 degrees too, which, while not ideal, would be much more solid than parallel from them.

Bold of you to assume McD’s patties are pure meat. Probably half the weight is extra fat and pink slime, so you can easily double that.

Yeah this one is much more recent.

There’s a Wine fork tweaked especially for Affinity that works amazingly well.

Yes, but contrary to atomic distros, it’s not explicitely designed to be as administration free as possible.

Let me introduce you to atomic distros.

I moved my father on Bluefin 1.5 years ago from his antique MacBook Air. He doesn’t know sudo exists. He has never heard of ujust. He doesn’t even command line. He hasn’t had to do a single update because it all happens in the background. He just… uses it.
