Printing a couple items for work. It is for an edge detection and follower arm, for our hot mills. Hope to make the tracking straighter than manual controls.

The green one is just the currently selected part. It can be moved around, copy, delete, etc. The orange ones are not selected. This Prusaslicer 2.9

Thanks. It was only a bad joke, but I'm glad to know it also actually had meaning.

Ooooh, yer tickling my OCD. Lets see: metric, metric fine, metric LH, BA, BA LH, BSW, UNC, UNF, UNF LH, NPT.... Thats 11 colours, then sort by size, plug, taper or bottom. And just like that we got ourselves another project!
 
I'm thinking about trying to keep up with the Jones, and Davids, and Dabblers. I've been looking at the Snapmaker J1s IDEX machine. The Marathon interested me for a bit, but they have some bugs to kill.
And looking at these designs people have posted here, I can see a whole lot of stuff that I need.
Would it make sense for the Forum to have a site where the .STF file could be posted like they do for the plasma gang? Stealing someones design is the sincerest form of flattery, I think.

I think maybe the answer is a dedicated sub-forum where folks can link to their files hosted on the many stl sharing sites.
Happy to take feedback on this from folks.

A sub forum would help with organizing 3d specific posts. I think having the files on thingiverse and or printables, or one of the other sites is a better option. The forum doesn’t have to deal with any file hosting issues. Just my 2 cents.
 
here is another one for the group. @David might get some use

collet block for er20 collets, like used in the 2.2kw spindles, attached is the block with 15 spaces and a single block with only 1 space

I print it upside down, and select no top layer, saves print time & filament
