  • Material shrinkage is another factor to consider, and there are a myriad of other reasons why there are more accurate ways to mass produce things.

    Even assuming a perfect print - no blobs, no zits, and, just for the sake of argument, let’s ignore the Z seam - I disagree that you can reliably get 0.1 mm precision off of a FDM machine in all directions. I’ve been able to get parts to fit each other to within 0.3 mm reliably in the best conditions on a properly-calibrated Prusa MK3S+

    But that’s just my experience.
















  • You live long enough and you start to see the elements of a new game’s DNA. Most games build on another that came before it. For example, Undertale takes a lot of inspiration from EarthBound.

    What this has meant for me is that new games have a harder time really gripping my attention because I often think “well, that part was fun, but this other mechanic was much better implemented in this other game.”

    I don’t have the patience anymore - nor the free time - to stick with any game that doesn’t do something special. And for me, gameplay is more important than anything else. Great visuals don’t make up for unfun game mechanics.

    To each their own, of course.



  • I’m so sorry for your loss. I know too well how it feels to miss your animal.

    This was Barley. I lost her to cancer on New Years. We didn’t even know she had a tumor despite multiple recent vet visits and blood work. She was a rescue, and we had just barely passed 11 years together when she died.

    There is still a hole in my heart shaped like her big, fuzzy butt. This dog saved my life, and I will forever feel like I was so blessed to have had her. Literally every person who met her remarked at what a good dog she was.
