Just want to give you a heads-up on the IoT project in your video where you use a soil-meter. Those sensors corrode away quite fast, a very good upgrade to this is a capacitive soil sensor. They will last a whole lot longer. I hope you find this useful. I enjoyed your video.

@@joshstainton8207 it isnt as common to have interior windowsills here, thats probably why we have a space between the windows.

This is great, I have printed a self watering pot for the first time the other day. On a side note, do not use cyanoacrilate (super glue) to bond something that will be exposed to water. Super glue bonds instantly in the presence of moisture (think fingers), however the bond is also weakened by moisture or water. This is why the msds will state that if you bond your skin you need to run it under luke warm water in order to get, say, your fingers unstuck.

@jakubdolezal9572 3 жыл бұрын

If you are asking what type of plastic to use when exposed to LED lights, then anything is fine, PLA is the easiest(but it deteorates under UV from the sun[BTW, glass blocks most UV], so use something different if you are gonna use it outside longterm). If you are want to stick the LEDs to the plastic, use plastic with higher glass transition tempeture, like ABS/ASA or better, but word of warning: these plastics are hard to print, since they like to warp and deform while printing(sometimes they deform so much that they seperate from the heatedbed), so if you can, use metal extrusion of somekind, it even cools down the LEDs so they last longer. Hope this helps.

@Prusa3D 3 жыл бұрын

This sensor is from a project over 5 years old and still works fine. But yeah, the capacitive soil sensors are much better and it's what I've been using for newer projects :) If for nothing else, it's nice that they can send out digital output rather than just analog signal. -Mikolas

Most of the prints in the video turned out to be perfectly watertight with the default settings in PrusaSlicer. The walls of the models are usually at least a few perimeters wide.

@@kewl201 I saw a video the other day where essentially it's a combination of correctly leveling your bed, correct wall thickness, bead height and print speed. You don't want a perfectly round bead according to the video you want it to be more oval shaped as it's been flattened a little bit giving more surface to stick together with the hot plastic. At least that's the way I interpreted it. I think it was on the Maker's Muse channel. I could be mistaken I've been watching a lot of videos since I got my printer recently
