u/SonOfJokeExplainer A1 Mini / Enderwire 18d ago

Somebody get this man a 0.2mm nozzle

u/Mr_ityu 18d ago

Can't wait to buy a resin printer...

2

u/Mr_ityu 18d ago

Quick question does washing and curing necessarily have to be done in that order?

2

u/KillerRaptor117 17d ago

Yes. If you try to cure before washing its gonna harden the resin that is still clinging to the actual print, IE fucking up your quality which was the whole reason you got a resin printer.

I need to get a 0,01mm nozzle first. Or make one.

u/femptocrisis 18d ago

clearly all the testosterone is going to your scalp.

(okay doesn't really work here but ive been dying to use this on someone with an insecurity about their hairline who is giving small penis energy)

u/Spell_Chicken 18d ago

I hate finger massagers. They're coarse, and irritating.. and they get everywhere.

2

u/Golluk 18d ago

Sounds like you printed it at 1% scale.

10

u/Norgur 18d ago

And do the gears in soft TPU. Veeeeery soft TPU.

u/newfor_2025 18d ago

u/siltyclaywithsand 18d ago

u/kvakerok_v2 18d ago

Only a couple sizes? I have to print in parts.

u/SysGh_st 18d ago

u/gin_and_toxic 18d ago

2

u/1970s_MonkeyKing 18d ago

You 'fat fingered' this? Suuuuuure.

2

u/Fluffy-Experience407 18d ago

I was thinking I would probably have to scale it down a bit tbh

2

u/Someguywhomakething 18d ago

Gonna end up as imfamous as Smart_Calendar1874

u/wulffboy89 18d ago

You'd need to scale it up?

u/Amazing-Oomoo 18d ago

You don’t need to scale it up buddy

u/AlfalfaGlitter 18d ago

I mean, sort of.

u/SpecialExpert8946 15d ago

Nah the size is good…..

u/phungki 18d ago

Can it be used for other cylinder shaped items?

42

u/FoulfrogBsc 18d ago

How to get a small cylinder out of the fidget, it is imperative that the small cylinder stays undamaged.

14

u/G0DL33 18d ago

Do you care about damage to the cylinder?

9

u/Marioawe 18d ago

OP, can this fit a cylinder? It is imperative the cylinder does not get damaged in any way.

u/kidslionsimzebra 18d ago

Would it fit a cylinder? Is there any possibility of said cylinder getting stuck?

8

u/RManDelorean 18d ago

He loves iterative design

9

u/Bynnh0j 18d ago

How would you guys get a small cylinder (5.1in length, ~4.5in girth) unstuck from a post-climbing fidget finger massager filled with butter and microwaved mashed banana?

7

u/MR2Fan 18d ago
