Filament is just PLA. Definitely sounds like it's autobrim so I'll look for that setting. It was definitely not needed on some of the prints I did over the weekend. Thanks again guys for the help.

Best solution I've used to remove prints from the bed is take the bed off and put it in the freezer for 10 minutes. Everything pops off easy at that point. I use a glass bed for what it's worth

My issue isn't getting the part off of the print bed, it's getting these extra parts (brim and other supports) off of the printed part after the print is finished.

oooh sorry. I don't use a brim. generally my supports break off very easily, occasionally I have to use a tool to access them. Perhaps try a different shape or density of support?

Have you finished that remodel yet? Dont mess around and git yosef in trouble. :p
Hahaha! My son coming two months early blew the remodel out of the water. And my wife has been understanding. I have gotten a surprising amount done but I still lack the bathroom remodel lol. That said I did struggle explaining this one to the Mrs.

In your slicer, try playing with the support distance and density settings, by a little at a time. And see that support distance priority is set to "z overrides x/y" if you have that option.

My supports break off pretty easy for the most part. My settings are:

Support density: 10.0%
Support Line Distance: 4.0mm
Support Z distance : 0.2mm
Support X/Y distance: 0.7mm
Minimum support distance: 0.2mm

For your brim you can play with the distance a little too.

Thanks @Black Titan . I have done zero playing with settings yet. I'll try some of this when I get time to print again.

line winder for tenkara rod printed for a ‘friend’

Is this big enough for 40ft of dyneema pull up rope? I've printed a couple of spool designs that didn't quite work out or pack down the way I wanted them to. Still looking for an idea for that.

Just seeing this, but no it is not. I’m sure you could model a larger more sturdy version for thicker ropes.

I had some downtime on both of my machines. One ended up having a bad thermistor and the other had some loose fasteners that tie down the Extruder motor. It caused me to chase my tail trying to adjust my z height. I had to reinstall windows since it was corrupted and I thought I saved off all my files but lost all my parts I was working on.

Below is a model I whipped up a few months back that I wasn’t able to print due to the aforementioned problems. This one is another base for the smallrig adjustable ball head for a trail camera. You could also mount a trail camera directly to the bolt but you would be limited to pan and a fixed tilt.
This revision is smaller and able to be printed bottom up, which are decent upgrades. I added some knurling to the tree side which I’m very pleased with. I also tightened the tolerance on the hex head so that it is pretty close to captive.

The angle of the mounting screw and face allows the small rig mount to hold the camera vertical | to past a / 45. So, you could use the mount at ground level or elevated. I may print a few more and put them in the woods over the summer to see how they fair.

I didn’t have a wing nut to try so I printed this two sided knob instead. It needs a decent amount of torque since it is a friction held arm. The knob made it very easy to set. I used a couple layers of duct tape as the washer. It’s holding nice.C9D6F62B-56C5-41D0-B41C-14EAB8744969.jpegCC1F0104-ECEA-4C90-B377-6B990523B347.jpeg60C2EC9A-C081-4588-B8DC-1FB5A683CF77.jpegA5615849-2EC9-4EC4-B707-025F21B39E75.jpeg
