The primary concern with fdm printed parts is bacteria growth in the gaps and cracks, which you cant really avoid. Some materials allow vapor smoothing, but the most popular candidates ABS and ASA are not food save, even if perfectly smooth.

For storing stuff that does not support bacteria growth (for sure salt, maybe tea bags and pepper) PETG is a good choice. Strong consistent layer adhesion enables water tight print. Its relatively chemically robust and will not chemically react with your food, and not leach out much if at all. It also means its mostly dishwasher safe, especially at low temperatures. You MUST have a properly tuned PETG profile to get a close to perfect surface with minimal defects. Burn of any stringing, otherwise it will end up as microplastic in your food.

For storing stuff that can spoil, the requirements are a lot higher, and the only option is coating with a food safe resin. You should research what is compatible with the printed plastic, and maybe avoid dishwasher or aggressive cleaners.

For home use FreeCAD might be an okey replacement for autodesk. It's not as polished, but working well enough for simple geometrioes

Sounds interesting, I'll give it a try:

Very cool! Glad that there are finally working swaps directly from the app, and zero conf for low amounts is an appreciated upgrade.

Because Monero is fungible, I assume there wont ever be KYC checks when using XMR to pay in another crypto through your service, is that correct?

Fascinating! Thank you for including a picture of the new design, using the ribs to reinforce the surface should improve things a lot with minimal material added.

Yeah just say you accept either prepaid with Monero (XMR) or using the cash-on-delivery option. A link to getmonero.org in the FAQ would be appreciated, but is not required.

I find spending a bit more on batteries goes along way. Although the nominal voltage and size may be the same, better batteries have lower internal resistance, ie provide the same current with less voltage sag. This prevent the low bat detection from tripping prematurely.

Batteries have one advantage over over supplies: extremely low noise. Even an good LDO will bump up the noise floor, and a cheap lcsc part will do so too. Plus you's want a reasonably low dropout and quiescent current, which also increases price. Maybe 10ct in volume is reasonable for such a part - and yes, that will absolutely eat the margin

What is your target audience or use case? Because the obvious choice would be illegal items, which are excluded by your TOS. And while privacy enthusiasts are willing to spend extra, your asking price is too steep for casual use.

I noticed the pricing page is entirely dollar nominated, with the only payment option listed "cash on delivery", listing a bunch of typical payment options. Monero is only mentioned as a feature on the usage and FAQ tab, and both are easy to miss. Initially I wondered why you were posting here if you only accept paypal and such.

Don't dry filament in the oven. Simply put the filament spool on the print bed, set it to 60°C (PLA) or 70°C (PETG) and cover it with a cardboard box to trap the heat. Poke 3 holes in the box to lead damp air escape. Let it cook for 2-4h, then flip the spool and wait for another 2-4h. Store in air tight container with some silica gel to keep it dry.

I made one post, that's it. I never wanted to mod that community and never agreed to it. It seems like the original mod appointed me somehow and then left?

If anyone is interested in modding this very quiet community please speak up, otherwise I'll close it by end of year.

Edit: If you want to take over this role, please comment on [Meta] Looking for new mod to take over

 

In the past I’ve recommended sms-activate for easy, quick and low cost phone verification. When you want to log in, they now force you to click on a verification link send by email, meaning you are f’ed if you used a single-use email address.

Are there any alternative options that accept monero and don’t have this restriction?
