Random tech crap.

@PeleSpirit @topinambour_rex yes, you can. With a dual extruder printer. Or if pause the printer mid way through and change the filament, is recommend using a printer with filament detect, it should move to the side so your prints don’t get damaged by the hotend.

@FearTheCron @YourAvgDuckHead According to encyclopedia Britannica, I’d say a fairly reliable source, your out by a factor of 100. https://www.britannica.com/science/chromosome
A human blood cell is approx 10 micron long, according to this… https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2998922/
Apologies for the pedantry, I couldn’t help it.

@RegalPotoo @Wilshire good point. Release agents are used for casting concrete. They look to be oil and water mix so I’m guessing most plastics would be compatible.
Also has to be a clear path out for the print/concrete.

@Ajen @GrayBackgroundMusic can confirm Pi Zero 2 runs Octopi nicely. Tried running it on old pc thin clients but not sure I recommend due to the faff/webcam issues. Am also dabbling with android phones with some success…

@AlexanderTheGreat have you tried 3D Builder on windows?

I’ve found it to be complimentary to Meshmixer. It has a nice combine function to simplify complex models.

@MissJinx I’ve had issues with some slicers not coping with vase mode.

Did you try changing the vase mode settings?

Some models don’t work so well on vase mode. Usually with steep overhangs.

You might try a different slicer?

@MissJinx there are a few but some are just rebadged versions of other slicers. Prusa/Orca and Slicer are two I have tried.
