Saw someone calling someone else a bootlicker for saying they had fun with it and then right below it someone was calling someone else a blind hater for complaining about the lack of depth in the 3d models lol

Welp um the estimated total filament I will be using to print out all the #pumpkinjam entries is amounting to approximately 3.7kg
I have no regrets!

First photo of the actual sword!
#pumpkinjam

A rather spooky 3d printed sword with an eye on a bat shaped crossguard, with a black and orange blade coming out from it

CarlThePumpkinMan @carlthepumpkinman.bsky.social · 1d

In order to get the Spooky Sword in to the Printables Halloween contest, I uploaded it without real model pics. I'm about to finish out the final piecs of the Sword in a bit, so I'll update it with pics when I'm done! #pumpkinjam

Good luck!

Alien tree!

Turns out the Printables Halloween contest ends an hour before the Pumpkin Jam does; not at the same time oops
Good thing I double checked!

CarlThePumpkinMan @carlthepumpkinman.bsky.social · 1d

Alright, night night folks! I'm actually going to bed, and a nine-hour print will hopefully be waiting for me when I get up! But until then, good luck, Pumpkin Jammers!

I've been asked to attend Picture Day at one of my schools despite it being my morning off (not mandatory, but *sigh*), so I won't be immediately announcing the end. However, I will be working to get the list of all models up on the website and the exit survey out to everyone quickly.

CarlThePumpkinMan @carlthepumpkinman.bsky.social · 1d

Just under 12 hours left in the #pumpkinjam! I'll be heading to bed here soon, but I'll be awake for the final hours.
Make sure you email [email protected] with links to your uploads--I know this was a big one, so even if you're not done, feel free to send your stuff in!

That moment when you realize that the 8-way-rotational-symmetry piece connects into something with only 4-way-symmetry, so there's a 50-50 shot of a user connecting them incorrectly

CarlThePumpkinMan @carlthepumpkinman.bsky.social · 1d

Ok so apparently the two models that take forever to load do so because they have over a million triangles each; I guess it's because it's the T-spline and the object the t-spline fits into. Dunno why it went that crazy.

Thanks! Although luckily it seems that replacing the fillets with chamfers worked, which is fine bc they were all on hidden parts made to make assembly easier and not to be actually viewed.
Trying to see if Bambu Studio can load it all as one STEP currently

CarlThePumpkinMan @carlthepumpkinman.bsky.social · 1d

Estimated print time is 19 hours...

CarlThePumpkinMan @carlthepumpkinman.bsky.social · 1d

Alright, I exported every piece one by one and found three with non-manifold edges; I'll have to fiddle with them to see if I can figure out how to fix them. One was so messed up it wouldn't load in lol
In the meantime I'm gonna take a walk and get some food

Update: turns out some of the parts have errors and non-manifold edges. I've had this happen sometimes with Fusion before and have no idea why it happents. Sometimes it just bugs out and can't represent its data properly

CarlThePumpkinMan @carlthepumpkinman.bsky.social · 1d

Guys I think I cooked too hard on the model. It's been like this for ten minutes
(Genuinely don't understand what the issue is tho)
#pumpkinjam

Bambu Studio loading bar stuck at about 40%

CarlThePumpkinMan @carlthepumpkinman.bsky.social · 1d

But seriously though, even with splitting it up it's still having issues
