Printing at JLC
  • Nice parts! I'm still waiting for my parts (slow post), which should arrive soon.

    After some back and forth with their support I actually like them. When they can't do something, they explain it plainly and suggest that you modify the model. Time delays are just something I needed to adjust to after many years of using the PCB service.

  • I have decent experience using my own FDM printer and third party services using SLS, I design my own mechanical parts too. I know what you mean and I know joy and frustrations of owning a 3d printer. There's no arguing that quick turnaround helps design process tremendously. It's just currently I have to make do without one.

    They (JLC) have requirements well specified and automatic rule checker rejects problematic parts. I had several virtual iterations with it before I got my parts dialed in. They should cause no problems.

    As for them restarting failed prints, heh. I really hope not. Large machines tend to be loaded to the brim with multiple jobs combined and they are pretty reliable.

  • I don't have a 3d printer currently and will not be able to get one in near future.

    Also not all 3d printing technologies are equal. Each has its strengths and limitations. FDM doesn't cover all bases.

    Can we discuss printing using services (jlcpcb, pcbway, shapeways etc) here? Materials, limitations, personal experiences etc?

    I'm having a strange experience with JLC 3d printing service. 72 hours is looking to be a week tomorrow. Customer support said that they "will try to ship it soon" after I contacted them after the order status hasn't been changing for 2 days

    This is so different to their main business, PCB making, which is extremely sharp and smart.

    Upd: after contacting them, they shipped the order.

  • i hope it's not a plug that"s going to be pulled often because in this case a complete defederation of everything from everything is just a matter of time.

    doesn't it all have that old fidonet vibe.. you also could participate in anything as long as your uplinks agreed on what echoconferences they subscribe to.

  • i'm new to this so please excuse me if it's something obvious. the linked page says it doesn't matter which instance i'm registered with, just pick one. i followed this advice and i'm here now. i'm subscribed to a bunch of communities from other instances too. so what difference does it make that i'm at sdf and not somewhere else, where is the lesser drama to be found in all this?
