“You need to buy this special heater pad to break the screen adhesive!”
No, I think you will find that in fact I don’t.

Ngl that’s fucking genius
Seeing as you can do the exact same thing with a hairdryer, it’s inventing a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.
The heated bed is coupled to a thermistor. I’d argue controlling the temperature in order to not accidentally overheat parts of the phone is a step above a hair dryer.
Also bad is that hair dryers don’t spread their heat around very well at all. You can easily create hotspots on the object and damage things with them.
And, I don’t own a hairdryer. (Or much in the way of hair, these days.) But I do own a 3D printer…
Can I use it to warm up a sex toy? Asking for me.
Just 3d print one and grab it while it’s fresh and warm.
I realize this is a joke…
But don’t do this. Really. The fdm layers are unhygienic, and there’s a not-insignificant risk of things snapping off and leading to awkward emergency room visits.
A better solution is printing a 2 part mold and casting silicone.
I was really impressed by the lulzbot manual mentioning this! Its also important to consider that most 3d prints can be sensitive to water unless sealed too.
I’m just gonna assume some one printed a butplug, had it snap off leading to said emergency room visit and they tried to sue lulzbot.
Who is this someone you’re talking about, FuglyDuck ?
glad to hear from the 3d printed sex toy experts in the house
wont the layers transfer to the silicone?
You can process the inside to be smooth (sanding, priming. If you have a solvent - acetone for abs, as an example. And mold release.)
Even just using a filler/primer should be enough
This is an amazing tip tbh. Never thought of using it for that.
Holy shit. I do a fair bit of small electronics repair on the side, the cost of a decent heat pad is about half that of a 3d printer… This may be what finally inspires me to get a 3d printer.
Has anyone else found a use for their 3D printer that wasn’t exactly listed on the label?
I know a guy whose cat will take naps on it.
Used to have problems with the cat sneaking up while preheating, and being very intent on not getting off. (Even with the cold hot end poking him. It was… hilarious. Took an old i3 and sacrificed the build plate to solve the issue though.)
They need an enclosure
it really was hilarious watching the cat stubbornly refuse to move out the way as the bed moved back and forth and the hot end poked it. the cat had this most baleful look like it was being martyred by the machine.
(Yes, the friend was careful not to hurt the cat.)
