RE: How to print with glass
@ssill2
Budweiser is swill. I would rather drink stagnant swamp water. After living in Germany for 4 years and traveling the globe, I prefer European beers. Rarely, I find a craft beer I like, but most American beer is terrible.

Well said.
That being said though there are some good craft beers out there. One of my faves in Oskar Blues Death By Coconut. it's a porter. If you like coconut, it's the beer for you. Avery does a few good ones too.
RE: How to print with glass
Okay, let's see if I zipped it correctly and if it posts ok ...
Posted fine. Here's about the best I can get. 0.40mm nozzle with 0.45mm perimeter and 0.80mm infill @ 100%, no tops or bottoms (per @Rygar1432's article), PETG @ 265C and 20mm/s:
Not exactly gem-like, but sparkly. It's going to be hard to get clarify on such a small print, unfortunately.
Thanks for uploading it. It's a good test of the extremes.

@bobstro
Both my printers are in use at the moment, but I'm going to have to try this too. I almost think slower than 20mm
RE: How to print with glass
A few more 3D samples. PETG @ 265C, 0.80mm extrusion width, 1 perimeter, 0% infill. I can almost get a sphere to print:
These look interesting illuminated from below:
I resized the diamond to roughly the same dimensions as the earring gem:
It needs work on the cooling near the tip, and a properly designed STL with sharper angles would work better, but it's definitely sparkly.
RE: How to print with glass
Bobstro, is that PLA or ABS or what? It looks a lot coarser than what I get with clear ABS. Is that the same scale? Wider nozzle maybe?
As for beer, Bud Light is usually my go-to beer. (Yes, yes yes I know!) 🙂
I really prefer the lighter beers, Rolling Rock (33) 🙂 is prolly my all time fave, but not very many places have it around here.
Heineken is kind of an occasional special treat. 🙂

Those are all either PETG for the latest, or nGen for some of the slabs. I switched to a 0.4mm nozzle for the 3D prints, using a single 0.8mm perimeter with 0% infill at 0.2mm layer height. More of a proof of concept than a finished print. I'm sure it's possible to get smoother results, but I wanted to test the limits of getting translucence out of prints.

Uh, no. Originally Kensington, Brooklyn. When I was back in HS, Rolling Rock was cheaper than most and we called it Pennsylvania Swamp Water. I did develop a taste for it but it's kinda rare out here.
RE: How to print with glass
Not to hijack the thread further (I guess beer does come in glass bottles, relevant to the topic) 😉 but back decades ago when I was in the Coast Guard, it seemed like Rolling Rock had almost a cult following. To an extent, Olympia and Coors had fan followings as well, but not as cult-like. At the time, all three were more regional and less national, but all three were light American beers.
Other beers that I remember having fanbases were Kirin and Asahi (Japan) and San Miguel (Philippines).
Locally (Omaha area) one former local/regional beer that has a cult following is Storz. It was common until the late 1970s and had a flash-in-the-pan resurgence in the 20-teens but is a dead product today. Some people have some 'new old stock' cases squirreled away and these can sell for obscene prices.

I'm not a beer snob, I'll drink almost anything that's served. I do occasionally like to try oddball beers, some of which are tasty but some are like totally 144 fer shure!

Hey! Anybody listening?
Not to be a total b*tch, but this "title here" pop up is becoming majorly annoying!
Please bury it in the Chernobyl Sarcophagus or something! 🙂
agreed
I think they updated wordpress to a new version. it's dumb to have to put a title in, and the reply to a particular person doesn't work either.

Concur 100%. Just to clarify, I am concurring that it is a pain, not concurring that your are a b*tch.

Swamp water probably tastes better.

I am definitely a beer and bourbon snob. The beer has to be a craft or imported. Bourbon has to have at least a cork.

If you want your say on the changes, Prusa are listening on:
OB Beer: A few years ago someone gave me half a dozen cans of Budweiser; I still have five of them.
Cheerio,

Wtf
Hey, we can agree to disagree! We don't all have to like all of the same stuff! I'm perfectly happy drinking Rolling Rock and Bud Light and I could not tell the difference between bourbon or scotch or turpentine in a blind taste test!
The one bartender at the place we usually end up at on Friday is always reminding me that Rolling Rock was bought out by Bud a while back and he swears that one of the newer Bud Select beers is actually Rolling Rock.
One of my cow-orkers keeps teasing me that I drink "chick beer" (hey, I resemble that remark!) 🙂 and he loves the stuff that looks like a glass of mud with a foamy head!
Oh well, so it goes ... 🙂
