Spaghetti (Sunday Cartoon)

3D printing is fun, so should the forum. I will see if I can do a Sunday cartoon series here to balance out the sometimes serious or even heated debates.

The plan (read, plan :slight_smile: ) is to post a new cartoon each Sunday under this thread. But I am not a cartoonist. The way it works is that I come up with the idea, then instruct (prompt) AI to do the drawing. Take it easy if some of you happen to be real cartoon artists :slight_smile:

There are two cartoons today, one of which was posted on another thread recently. In fact that’s when the Sunday cartoon series idea came about.

Love this one. The 10.00mm nozzle :joy:

That was meant to be 0.00001 mm nozzle. But then AI, ChatGPT/Dall-E 3 to be exact, had its own mind and put an additional 0.00 mm inside the speech bubble, which I think is funnier since a 0.00 mm nozzle can’t print.

But yes, a 10.00 mm nozzle would be equally funny.

BTW, AI is not quite there in terms of producing something exactly to one’s liking. It understood what was being asked, but just couldn’t do it. Even with my average drawing skills, I would have produced 5 cartoons (with less detail) by the time I got one produced by AI.

Which seems to be on theme with AI-generated models :stuck_out_tongue: And there’s another idea for another cartoon: how trying to make non-MEH model using ai takes longer than learning basic modelling skills :wink:

Topic title reminds me of the Bambu Chief Patrol Officer (CPO) named Spaghetti. Kind of surprised they didn’t write more about cat shenanigans in their blog outside of their one and only post. Introducing Our CPO: Spaghetti, the Cat!

Read that blog post in a bit more detail and noticed they did create a twitter account for the cat and have been relatively active with it :smile:

They made a Discord channel as well.

Oh, I wasn’t aware of the BL Cat Spaghetti. For the title, I had a few other candidates: Overhang, Layer Lines, Layers of Laughter, Infill Jokes. AI offered some 20 titles, but I didn’t like any of them, except Layer Lines which matched one that I had in mind.

In all honesty - I’ve used my A1 as a $300 coffee warmer more than once :stuck_out_tongue:

I think it forgot that the A1 is a bedslinger :joy:

When I read about wet filament issues reported by so many, I sometimes wondered if the printers were used to warm coffee or reheat leftovers.

The bed doesn’t have to move. I heard 0.1mm nozzles produces the smoothest coffee.

Have full-day commitment to non-3D printing things today. This cartoon was done as an alternative for the cartoon two Sundays ago.

Just create a 10mm height circular tube in the slicer, with concentric infill and stick a spoon in the hotend and start printing without filament and with 10 degrees temperature on the nozzle. Keep the speed around 6mm/s and reduce the movement speed overall to 100mm/s… it keeps your coffee warm and well mixed

Done that with my old Artillery X2 just for giggles :grin:
