        • Know How... 218: Troubleshooting 3D Printers

          We have the best practices and tips when it comes to choosing the right 3D printer for you.

          Segment Goals:

        • Find a real-world problem
        • Beg, Borrow and Steal as much as you can! (A STL model that gets us CLOSE to the solution)
        • Modify an existing STL to fit our needs
        • Revision
        • Tools/Supplies Needed:

        • Thingiverse
        • Tinkercad
        • 3D Printer
        • 120mm fan
        • Cooler Master (69CFM - 19db - 12v) (~$8)
        • Artic F12 (5 pack - 74CFM - 25db - 1,350 rpm - 5-12 volt operation) (~$4/each)
        • 6" Ducting $18
        • Segment Procedure:

        • Search for and download a STL file for an object that can interface with a 120mm fan
        • Create a suitable duct collar
        • Mate the Duct Collar with the STL file
        • Print!
        • Revise
        • Here's the Thingiverse link for a 120mm Fan Grille http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17028

          Here are the files for the finished 120mm to 6" duct adapter https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9042212/KH218.zip

          Curling Prints

          "Bacon" is what happens when your extruded material cools, shrinks, and pulls off the printing surface. There are a variety of solutions to this problem including:

        • Heated printing surfaces (So that the print cools EVENLY)
        • Insulating your print area (to decrease the thermal variance across the print)
        • Adhesives
        • Aquanet (Unsented Extra Super Hold) ~$22 for 6
        • Glue Stick $1
        • Generic Filament

        • I love me some Hatchbox filament! ~$23/KG
        • Don't forget to get yourself a Filament holder. ~$10

            • Tech News Today 1530: Living Algorithmically

              Tonight we discuss Peter Kafka's article on Re/Code about how apps are over. Nobody told Apple that, because today SVP of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller told The Verge about some big changes to the app store revenue model. We also talk search results and early cancer detection, a new network for Google Fi and an autonomous passenger drone that will soon start testing in the Nevada desert. Next we interview Brian Christian, co-author of the book Algorithms to Live By to discuss why algorithms don't deserve the bad press they've been getting lately.

              Today's question of the day is: Would you trade your search queries for medical advice? Send your thoughts to [email protected].
