  • I see, but that just makes me want to blame the model even more.

    What can happen if you repair a bad model is that intersecting faces are merged in a way that leads to voids on the inside of your model. If that’s the case it’s really hard to fix for somebody who doesn’t have experience with pointcloud based 3d modeling.

    Please print something that you know is “good”, like the official 3d benchy. I’m almost certain it won’t have the holes that you’re experiencing on your part.

    Edit: do you have a link to the moddel? Then I can confirm for you whether the problem is with the mesh or not.














  • I often hear people saying “But where does the electricity for the EV come from? Driving an EV is not better than driving a diesel.”

    They have to realize that the thiny ICE in your car is optimised for weight, and has an efficiency of 30-35%. So about ⅔ of the fossil fuel is turned into heat and blown out of the exhaust. Compare that to the turbine in a coal or gas plant, which can archive up to 90% efficiency.

    And don’t forget that an EV is an investment, which will likely still be on the road in 20 years time. The electricity mix at the moment is still rather fossil fuel heavy, but this will change completely within the next 10 years.

    Edit: not 90% but 40% efficiency. See comments below
