Re: STL Files for 3D-Printing mintyPi
if there are going to be any problems, it's likely to be with the screws, so take extra care, maybe drill the holes before screwing into them

Re: STL Files for 3D-Printing mintyPi
I have a whole mintyPi set and it's all PLA and no issues with screws or rescrewing them a few times. It should hold out pretty well.

Re: STL Files for 3D-Printing mintyPi
Yeah the tougher plastic will just hold up better to repeated screwing/unscrewing. If PLA is all you have and/or all you can do then you should be able to get by without much/any trouble.

Re: STL Files for 3D-Printing mintyPi
Hey wermy I was wondering if I can get permission to upload your STL to thingiverse? It makes it easy for people to make remixes and share those remixes.

not sure what wermy would say (they are his designs)....KerriganKitty wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 11:13 pmHey wermy I was wondering if I can get permission to upload your STL to thingiverse? It makes it easy for people to make remixes and share those remixes.
but we already have a community here (and welcome more to join), and i'm sure theres members more than capable of remixing the design and sharing them via sudomod....
personally i would prefer it to stay in the community...
but the way things have been going recently, i wouldnt be surprised it they do turn up on thingiverse (under another author/designers name) and then on ebay or other websites for sale....

Re: STL Files for 3D-Printing mintyPi
I think sharing the STLs outside of sudomod would bring more hobbyist here. Isn't that the whole idea behind all this? Make, Share, and have fun? I've love to see wermy add it himself on thingiverse so the files would always be available and easy to access.VeteranGamer wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 11:50 pmnot sure what wermy would say (they are his designs)....KerriganKitty wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 11:13 pmHey wermy I was wondering if I can get permission to upload your STL to thingiverse?

its a double edged sword when it comes to sharing outside.....
yes it brings more people to the fold, but so do other platforms like youtube, twitter & facebook....
but it also kinda gives those that lack some integrity a license to do what they want....
and how difficult is it just to go to another site, no ones had issues on here accessing the files....
damned if you do, damned if you dont...

Re: STL Files for 3D-Printing mintyPi
Idk if saying it will bring too many people is a good enough reason not too. I've stumbled across many wonderful projects on thingiverse because I was looking at STLs to print. I'm not saying the current method makes it unattainable which is far from it. I think it's a fantastic project and I'd love to see other hobbyist stumble across it as well. I am an outsider to this humble community and i'll respect what decision is made. I know I would be very honored if a stranger liked my projects so much they would go so far as to share them so others can enjoy as well.VeteranGamer wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2017 12:07 am
