Also I made a new acc so I can use Voyager! Previously used @SmoochyPit@beehaw.org.
My main reason for moving to Lemmy/Kbin was to have 3rd party app support, and Beehaw ceasing Lemmy updates has now prevented that (for Voyager, at least). I still love Beehaw though, but the website is really bad on mobile.
Anyways I’ll comment a picture when this print finishes 🙏
I lost mine in a tragic sounding incident.
You LOST it???
I’m pretty sure he “lost” it in there purely so he can use it as a projectile when he’s in danger. This should allow fpr leeway on a sexual assault charge. And he can claim.its not premeditated.
I let go and it kinda just slid in too far.
I wouldn’t recommend printing that vertical, even if it makes cleanup easier, as it will be much more prone to snapping
Definitely would’ve been easier to print (less tinkering with slicer settings), too. But I think because the layer time was so quick, it’s surprisingly well-bonded.
That’s still the first direction it’s snap in, but I think it’s good enough for my use-case.
When your printer is well tuned there is a lot more room to ignore best practice I guess :)
Haha, welllllll fwiw I had to tinker with slicer settings for a few iterations before 😅 keeping the raft in place for the top layers was a bit tricky.
It’s finished!
The creator of the model replied below with links! I highly recommend this model if you need a stylus, it’s working great!
I should’ve been a bit more careful with where I put support material— one side of the bridge part is a bit bumpy. But it still works, so I can’t complain too much. Also, the bottom part where it connected to the raft is a bit rough. Might be worth lightly sanding it down so it’s a nicer finish when stashed.
Happy you enjoyed my design, though I think you should’ve shared the printable/thingiverse link.

On that note if it breaks (since you printed it upright, try printing it on its side with the nub facing up. You’ll need a raft and supports but it can be easily remove and the stylus won’t break… it’ll just bend.
Hope it turns out ok. Usually printing tall narrow things in that orientation results in wobble and uneven layers at the top, if it finishes at all.
If it fails try printing with 1 side touching the bed or at a 45° angle with supports along the bottom. You’ll have to sand down the supported surface but it should at least complete!
