My AD5X is missing a M3*6 screw, I just emailed custom service.

I'm 100% sure I didn't miss place it, I was very careful.

What I'm not sure is if they're talking about the same screw, on the manual it says 2 M3x6 screws for the mounting plate and a M3*6 for the guide tube.

Is M3x6 and M3*6 the same thing?

I want to popularize 3D printed stop-motion animation, As in stop-motion animation made entirely with 3D printed objects.

I have some ideas on what to make, but i don't just want to make them, I want to encourage others to do the same.

I wish there was a subreddit for 3D printed animation.

Have you seen ParaNorman? They used full-color 3D printing to create over 31,000 unique facial parts for the stop-motion film!

Generative AI can now create characters for you! Nano Banana Pro:

As well as animation you can direct! This is Kling 2.6, which adds animation & audio! You can make your own Gumby-style show! Here's a fun idea:

1. 3D-print your characters
2. Animate them using A.I. tools
3. Create an educational Youtube channel using your characters to explain topics like shapes, 3D printing etc.!

Remember us when you're rich & famous in Hollywood!!

Because it is a boneheaded idea. Computer animation is already there.

You can create your own subreddit, but it's not going to become popular.
 
I finished assembling the AD5X, but some people on Reddit recommended id get a zip tie instead of using the clip that holds the two cables together.

I'm gong to look for a zip tie tomorrow, if I can't find it in stores I'd buy it on Amazon.

I did a test print in silk yesterday for my first time printing silk cause I want to do a really long print (24+ hours) with it, and it came out very nice. I just slowed down the print speed for the outer faces to get it shiny, as I saw was recommended.

You should do custom bar soap stands that have people's names printed in them so that the bar of soap gets embossed with their name over time haha!

Many cool designs out there as well:

Here's my soapdish, 3D printed via subtraction method...

:^D

It's a pos, but it literally took ~10 seconds to make. It was a proof of concept. If I get tired of looking at it or something, I'll make another using more care. With 10 minutes, I could make something that looks nice. Fully biodegradable, and virtually free.
 
Should find a way to 3D print core memory, using conductive filament. I have a feeling it will make a come back in the next few years lol.
