Hey which one? I got the cheap one on amazon for about 70sek the other I bought here in Sweden for 400sek

Imo the best thickness is 0.6mm. I've done 0.4 mm and 1mm too, but 0.6 (with a 0.4 mm nozzle) is the sweet spot imo

@@frankadrianart Is it sturdy enough?

​@@luanlopes7208 For what? It doesn't need to be sturdy, it's a lamp. I've used mine for about 6 months and still do

@@frankadrianart I get it. Thanks!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Currently I don't have an STL version like that, the only option would be to print it in one color and then paint the pieces and the board.

Not sure what kind of game Sorry is, but no, Sorry, this is Hexrush😅

I cover that in the video :D

@@frankadrianart Oh, I paused the video just before the explanation and forgot to continue watching 🤦‍♂

@@A11V1R15 haha no problem 😁 The game may be a little unbalanced, it's my first attempt at designing a boardgame. But I have thought a lot and playtested many many times, so there shouldn't be any obvious disparities like that 😄

I'm busted 😂😂

@@frankadrianartShould have used HueForge.

@@frankadrianart It can be fixed tho.

Never heard of that game, since I'm not german😅. Maybe it is

Oh you mean ludo? Yes as I said in the video it's a ludo + backgammon game

I'm not sure exactly how many meters, but I can check for an estimate in grams when I get home.

Oh bambu studio actually said the meters as well! Here are the stats, note that this is printing with the AMS bambu lab a1 and a prime tower: 4 gameboard pieces: 0.9m/2.72g Gameboard side1: 1.46m/4.41g YELLOW 1.02m/3.10g RED 1.69m/5.12g GREEN Gameboard side2: 1.35m/3.08g YELLOW 1.15m/3.50g RED 1.69m/5.12g BLUE

5 M should be doable for at least one full gameboard I think :D

But you'll need a few meters of white or another color for the rest

Haha yes I did 😄 It's not set in stone, it's more of a guideline. There are probably many 6 year olds who can do that kind of math. 😅

@@frankadrianart hmmm, perhaps you could 3d print a spinner of some sort, then maybe you wont need to use dice and can 3d print the entire thing.

That's a great idea, thank you! ✍️ How fair is a 3D printed spinner thou? 🤔

I'm glad you like it! Thank you. I'm also a big backgammon fan so wanted a similar roll and move mechanic 😄

Maybe you can! What size is your 3D printer? You might not be able to print it in colors like with the bambu lab AMS, but you could print it in all in grey and then use acrylic color to paint the board.

220 x 220 x 250 mm.

That's probably too small. This print needs standard 256x256 unfortunately. Maybe if it's scaled down a little but then it would be quite small

Maybe you can split it in 4 parts instead of 2?

Yeah you can split it in 4 parts in the slicer software and then glue it together, good thinking 😁

it is certainly a design that is reminiscent of older roll and move board games. I actually see lots of opportunities to make further improvements. One examples is that 'exceptions' are among the worst type of rule. They are difficult to remember themselves, and also can make the core rule harder to remember. I can think of several ways to change the way that friendly Steve is displayed such that a 2nd piece could fit. (this would change gameplay somewhat, as you are now still vulnerable to normal captures while traveling with Steve... I actually think that adds an extra layer of strategy, maybe if you are about to pass a cluster of pieces it is time to leave steve behind.) I'm a professional board game designer and would be happy to talk more if you are interested in changing the rules of the game to modernize it more, but it is of course perfectly ok to call it done. I love to see people getting into tabletop games and tabletop game design, so kudos for diving in! welcome :D

Thank you, I'm happy to be here. I see, yeah designing friendly Steve so that others can capture you is certainly doable and could be interesting. But maybe he's too weak then? There are so many factors to take into consideration. I appreciate the tips, maybe I'll rework it someday for a Hexrush v2 😄

What do you mean? I have used the lamp myself for almost 6 months now and the only thing I've noticed is that it's gotten brittle. But as long as you are careful and don't drop the lamp it holds up very well

@@frankadrianart yeah thats what I mean it will get brittle

So be careful with it

@@frankadrianart you should print it out of Asa it's uv resistant

@@3dprintify872 thanks! haha yeah I dropped one once and it broke a little bit, but I made a new one and now it just sits. It's very brittle but as long as it just sits there it's fine. Thanks <3

Yes there is, I suggest professional help honestly. It's very strict with testing and rules

Thanks mate! It's tough but also very fun and rewarding. I love my lamp 😄

Thank you, I cover this a bit in the video. It's a white recycled PLA. Not transparent

Any fdm printer will do the work. The only thing to consider is the build volume. If you want to print big thing, go look for at least a 30x30x30cm

Hey I mainly used Sovol V06 Plus for this lamp. Any 3d printer work as long as its big enough

I wouldn't say it's shit. I'm still using it to this day and it has some things going for it. The fact that I can still use it speaks volumes, plus it's pretty small but can still go far, and the app is pretty easy to use. The bad parts are: Broke easily Still stutters sometimes The screw on is awful overall I'd give it 2/5. So yes pretty bad, wouldn't reccommend to buy, but not complete shit xD

Definitely could! Actually changed the design a little bit too, the cable relief can be screwed on with 3dprinted screw now.

Yes a dimmable led lamp

I have considered it yes. I was about to make a deal with a local store but it's just too hard for me to scale production at the moment and they wanted too many copies. Currently selling the STL file and license to sell the lamp and I'm seeing some success in this area so I'm contend for now. IYea I'm also fond of that idea, more localized production is beneficial for most I think. good luck with your hustle :D

@@frankadrianart I can relate :D I also have issues with scaling. It is just a hobby - and doing it full time would require much more effort. But the idea is still intriguing to say the least. Thanks for the good will ;) Good luck for you as well :)

Hey. This will differ depending on your country, but CE certification is required to sell lamps in Europe. The CE is not something you "get", the manufacturer puts the CE certificate on the product and signs a contract. The contract states that the product is deemed safe. But to make it safe you have to perform a series of tests and have technical documentation. Easiest way is to reach out to Intertek or similiar instituation and pay them to get the test and documentation in proper order. Good luck! :D

@@frankadrianart thank you !!

It really depends on the producer. It can be medical trays and plastic bottles but also from waste from producing other 3D printed filament. check out reflow and formfutura which I used for my lamp :)

@@frankadrianart Reflow seems to be recycled for real. But formfutura is quite a stretch to say so, they just re-use they're "wastes" from pla production, not actually recycling other plastic...

@@TheDarknex I know! I noticed that too, reflow actually re-uses things other than filament waste, so they seem to be a little bit better in that area. I also thing their filament is of better quality than formfutura, so I'm exclusivly using reflow's filament for my rPLA now.

what do you mean? :D

Definitely would be very cool with wood as a base! I'm not great with wood tho, but it's a cool idea

@@frankadrianart There is a wood type filament though.

@@CorinneIsIn Oh that's neat, maybe I'll order some and try :D

@@frankadrianart definitely worth a look! That wood filament is very cool

It's PLA so it is 100% biodegradable under the right circumstances. Some countries have stations where you can recycle it and it will become new PLA material. Unfortunately a lot of it will still end up in a landfill where it takes 1000's of years to break down. But the PLA I used have at least been recycled once. Better than many other plastics? Yes. Will it solve the worlds ecological crisis? No.

Thanks for the comment. I can see where you are coming from, it's a bit different than other table lamps and have a low profile. I did make several versions with another base but ultimately I settled for this design. 🤗

Hey, nice to hear! I've sold on Etsy as well in the past but I've felt the page has changed a lot in the recent years. I've seen lot of non hand made items being sold and to get any good exposure there you really need to pay for ads. My page works fine for selling and is much cheaper to maintain and list than etsy, (altough less organic traffic ofc). But I may give etsy another shot. Very good point on the youtube algorithm, views don't have to mean success! Thank you again for your comment and good luck with your designs too

I see how it can be confusing haha, but I tried to make a video where I kinda followed the progress of trying to sell one live but I had no idea how it would turn out. Then in the process when I had created a bunch of lamps (I actually sold a few more to some relatives) I realized what an hassle production was for me and not something I enjoyed at all! I rather just make more prototypes and maybe sell a few STL files so other people can create them at home. From a business perspective this was probably a confusing and quite bad move, but I mostly just try to enjoy this hobby and make a little bit of change. :)

Thank you Jelle 😄

Yes, I think this dimmer is not designed for LED lamps and that's the problem, not the quality.

I see! I tested 2 of them and had a few issues with them, both flickering but also that I have to turn the knob all the way up to get it to start, it didn't turn on when it "clicks" so I first thought it was broken. Did you have this issue? I used the same led bulb for my other dimmer so that shouldn't be the issue I think

@@frankadrianart Yeah i tried couple edison bulbs, the bulb who has "support dimming" on their package was working fine and bulbs who hasnt was working with flickering till knob turned into max

The lamp I use is dimmable but still flickers with both of the cheaper dimmers. It says dimmable on the package and when I try it with my more expensive dimmer it does not flicker. I wonder why 🤔

@@frankadrianart You can look through Big Clive's teardown videos for similar items. There's an Aussie electric guy who may have covered how these dimmers work. The classic dimmer for an incandescent bulb works by turning "on" right at the zero crossing of the AC voltage and then turning "off" some time earlier than the next zero crossing. An LED bulb has an onboard power supply that produces the low DC voltage at constant current needed by the LEDs. In order to be "compatible" it has to watch for the break in the duty cycle and use that as a command for dimming; meanwhile, it needs to store enough power to ride out the break, which can be done either as part of the switching power supply or as a capacitor on the 5V side. The classic dimmer might not work well when a very low current is being drawn. That is the main source of such flickering. The newer dimmer will also use a triac but it turns "on" at some point before the zero crossing and turns "off" at the zero crossing. That is, the tail of the waveform rather than the leading. It uses more advanced electronics to control this precisely, and it's made to handle a load of 18W just as well as 60W.

I'm glad you enjoy it! Feel free to reach out to me if you ever have any questions or need any help 😊

That's a good idea, thanks <3

What's a malandro my friend? I googled but all I found was "criminal"? 😳

@@frankadrianart maybe "gangsta" is more appropriate than criminal. You are a G cause you are trying to succeed at something by not following or by breaking the rules 😉 I think that was what he meant... so keep being you, my friend.

@@HzGP Thanks for the translation :D
