“…and filament. Lots of filament.”
Lol imagine thinking you would print anything without youtube!
The volume of Planet Earth is 108.321x10^10 km3.. Converted to std meters, that is 1.08321x10^21 m3.
A typical high flow 3d printer hotend (without getting insane) can hit around 25mm3/sec volumetric flow assuming no nozzle or acceleration restrictions. Converted to std meters, that is 2.5x10^-8 m3/sec.
If you ran that hotend continuously with no breaks, it would only take about 4.332x10^28 seconds to print the planet Earth… or 1.374x10^21 (1.4 sextillion!) years!
Gentlemen. We’re going to need a bigger printer.
Just set it to 5% infill in fast spaghetti mode and we can crank that baby out before the sun goes dark.
I mean if you only print the side that is exposed to sun. Keep rotating that baby.
That’s why you start by printing more printers.
A lot of us here aren’t actually mortal so that’s not a big deal
Yeah but it’s a little hard to power your printer past the heat death of the universe
Damn it
Every fucking century you just haaave to bring that up, don’t you.
Archimedes was better known for bath thoughts.
Or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof:-)
