Any online 3D printing service recommendations? #LazyMastodon

craftcloud3d.com quotes me at $600 for a PETG model, and I very sincerely hope I can go much lower than that 😓

#LazyMastodon Is there a way to get the Mastodon web client to show alt text when it's displaying the large version of an image or video? I always have to switch back and forth between the large version and the containing post to (a) look at it, (b) read about it.

Thanks!

#lazyweb #lazymastodon. Find me an orderable part number for digikey/mouser/mcmaster for the solderable nut used on the #raspberrypi CM5 IO Board?

The "CM5IOBOM.txt" included is not very helpful.

Now my mind is going down a rabbit hole of 3d wire forming ideas.

#lazyweb #lazymastodon help me again?!

Any #mechanical engineers out there who have a good book on interlocking wire/rod designs? Or other resources? I'm thinking of 3d structures to make things ridgid. e.g. show me a book with tricks like the mechanism seen in the attached image.

I'm thinking of spring locking mechanisms, assembly, disassembly, rigid triangle structures, etc.

Dear friends, how do I make a bent piece of wire/rod in freecad 1.1.0?

I tried a draft of the shape. Attached a circle sketch to the end point with a datum plane, and tried to use AdditivePipe to get it to go brrr...
It started out nice, but it fell flat...

See: flat:

Hypothetical: If an old lady, like my mom, missed the Olympic figure skating yesterday and wanted to watch it today. How would she go about getting a recording of the full program to watch tonight. If she were to get it from a torrent tracker or something like that for local download, what would be the exact steps should would be taking so I could warn her not to go down that route to avoid violating any copyright laws.

Thanks lazy mastodon.

Dear #lazyweb #lazymastodon I bought my wife a #sourdough baking set. I now need to get a #sourdoughstarter.

Anybody know where I can get one near #oakpark #Illinois (#Chicago)?

(Besides, obviously conjuring one out of thin air!)

#lazyweb #lazymastodon help me out here?

My wife is on corporate social media and gets ads for Skylight, a touchscreen display to help families keep their calendars straight. Their advertising seems to work well because she's gunning to buy it.

The ads promise the world. Happy family, kids engaged, doing chores, magical meal planning, etc.

I don't like the idea of a single use ewaste device with a monthly subscription.

Alternatives? Linux or Android would be ideal.

Anybody know why I, being a lowly member of mastodon.social, can follow @doctorow but not @pluralistic ?
