  • I remember an article a few years ago about an experimental tube system that just rapidly dehydrated segments of filament in line on the way to the printer. Was hoping to see a commercial version of something like that by now as it just sounds so efficient. This setup looks extraordinarily unefficient on the other hand. I understand your efforts for better work flow, but to heat and dehumidify this properly will be a significant energy sink.





  • There’s 3d printing as art, but then also 3d printing for utility. I use it primarily for the latter. For art I don’t want AI generated junk, so filtering that is ok, but I usually won’t like it if it’s Ai generated and can pick it out anyway. I don’t want barriers in Ai generated things like tool parts, shelf, etc. Though. All I care about there is quality. I want someone to have tested and reviewed it at least, but I’m not dogmatic at all about whether Ai produced it. I think the 3d printing community cares more about quality control on model libraries than just Ai gatekeeping.
