Waterproofing PETG prints?
13d 6h ago in 3dprintingCheers - seems there are multiple things I could have done. I would rather avoid having to do a reprint, but it may be necessary.
Upon closer inspection, I think the geometry of the bottom part is designed in such as way that it comes out with a lot of cavities (it is slanted, requiring multiple steps). It could be that it will be very difficult print properly to begin with.
Oh no, don't worry - it was a great suggestion, and I'll check it out for myself, just asked in case you already knew :) Thanks!
I would have assumed that dentists do not use the same consumer-grade stuff you buy in your local shop. Do you know for sure that they do?
I personally would not consider superglue harmful enough to worry about plants seeping enough of it to affect the health of me eating the plant, and it’s not food grade. I’ve used it to fix cracked humidifier reservoirs in a greenhouse for example.
I would want to avoid something that leeches off into the water. That said, I am going to dilute it quite a lot since the stuff will be very concentrated. Super glue could be a little expensive for this though? I think coating the whole bed would take multiple small containers.
That being said, most epoxy resin dries food grade. I don’t think you’d have to search hard for a very well performing Resin with food grade search term swapped with dining surface or some frequent use that requires food grade.
I know very little about epoxy resin, but that is what I often see - but is it really basically the same stuff that is used to repair boats as people use for decorations? The safety data sheets for the components are always pretty rough, but they of course say nothing about the cured state.
Oh, that is an interesting idea that I hadn't thought of. I might be able to buy it from a local beeskeeper, and I think I have a small amount lying around somewhere I could test with.
I am using PrusaSlicer. Not sure if that check box is present in that, or if it was added in OrcaSlicer or BambuSlicer.
I might've printed with only two walls, I will need to check tomorrow when I'm at the correct machine. And thanks for the video recommendation, I will be sure to check it out!
Didn't think of aquariums. Would assume this should be food safe, since it will be in contact with environment of living things. Would you happen to know whether it has any good adhesion to PETG?
I might've printed with only two. But I'd like to avoid having to reprint, if possible, and instead fix it with some post-processing. I think the leakage is actually concentrated on certain points near the front leg slot, so it does not seem to generally seep through the entire bed.
Smolweb and scraper protection
1mon 8d ago in smolweb@slrpnk.netI am not that concerned with the traffic, but I want to dissuade them from adding my texts to their corpus if possible. More out of principles than out of any illusion that it has any real, practical consequences.
Currently my plan is to serve a restrictive robots.txt (which I assume is completely ignored), pass traffic through Anubis with a policy that allows regular browsers without challenge but denies known scrapers (I don't really think they send truthful user agent strings so this probably won't do much either), and configure Nginx to be more aggressive with rate limiting. I also plan to license texts under a non-commercial CC license (which I also don't think will really prevent them).
I wonder if anyone have experience with such setup and can report how much or little this actually does anything?
The full, more interactive and JS-enabled site will issue challenges though.
