I like that they’ve read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn’t fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that… but easier to spell.

I did not know that. I’ll give it a look for sure.
I didn’t appreciated the FDroid UX until Google app designers lost their damn minds. Now it makes me feel relief.
it deletes it from my phone to clear space, keeping only the cloud backup
One copy of of anything isn’t a backup, it’s a move. Yes, in this case, Google is doing its own backups but you’re giving them all the trust and control.
A few years ago they started to wrap them in black plastic to slow thefts. And they found it lead to them getting mistreated by shipping companies a lot more - and fewer working printers were ultimately making it to people.
I’ve seen speculation in the 3d printer community that when people see a foreign origin package that just squeaked under the import duty cost and wrapped in black they assume it’s something for some rich jerk and may treat the package accordingly. But when they see it’s a tool frequently used for regular folks to set up a side hustle, they’re nicer to it.
Assuming you’re talking about FDM/FFF printing and not SLA or sintering:
There’s a bit of a catch-22 when it comes to mating flat 3d printed surfaces: The face that’s on the build plate will be the flattest and result in the smallest seam. It’s also the face most likely to be dimensionally inaccurate because of elephant footing, which can result in a ridge at the seam. And the easy fix for having an elephant foot it adding a chamfer, which results in a big visible seam. So my actual advice is:
And if aesthetics are a high priority consider using an automotive filler primer (I buy it in spray cans) and then painting the piece after it’s glued. Filler primer will help hide the seam and layer lines.
I dumped a cup of coffee in my laptop a month ago and was so bummed that it wasn’t for sale yet.
An evil like this can only be destroyed in the heart of a volcano.
It’s not a solid mass of plastic around your hotend. That’s a small win at least.
Most of my PLA is Printed Solid Jesse. It’s $20/kg filament that prints like $30/kg filament.
Well, at least we can all rest assured that all the driver monitoring cameras/tech that’s being build by default into new consumer cars and trucks will only ever be used for safety.
But I learned Perl in the 00’s and I don’t want those neurons to go to waste!
I always wonder what happened to the ensign that Ashley Judd played. Dr Crusher had a word with the Chief and ensign what’s-her-name was suddenly transferred to a Star Fleet farm in the beta quadrant.
The only thing that will stop climate change is if we reduce the beef industry and eat billionaires instead. Every billionaire will chop 0.1° off the warming trend.
Creality never made a printer that was worth the materials they were made out out. They just sold so many that there were still lots of people on the better side of QA bell curve.
This is at least the 4th official microsoft font I’ve been around for. What a time to be alive!
I’d say for people new to the hobby the best choices at $1000 (or a little under) are the Prusa MK4 and the Bamboo Lab P1S. The former say they’re focusing on quality (with speed as a side-effect) and user support, while the later is focused speed. The Prusa is also a little bit cheaper if you buy it as a kit. And building your own printer with Prusa’s excellent, constantly refined, instructions is a great way to really get to know your printer.
At the ~$500 level is the Creality K1 which I don’t know much about. Creality printers tend to be hit-or-miss though, and don’t expect support outside of other people on the internet.
Another printer you’ll hear about is the Voron, but that’s not really for beginners.
Congrats! This one came a day ahead of the original estimate. I wish you the same fortune.
I used to joke that if people didn’t eat the gummy bears per the instructions their first layer calibration would take 10 extra tries. Now that there’s no first layer calibration that won’t work.
Is it because, like me, you’d often type out full replies on Reddit, then decide at the last moment to not post it out of fear of becoming troll food?
