  • I don’t have a Bambu but what they also need to look at is retraction settings after purging the extra filament.

    Seems like it needs to retract a little more to lower the “pressure” of the melted filament in the nozzle.

    Best analogy is that this is like a giant glue gun. Squeeze really hard and fast and the glue isn’t going to stop when you let up in the trigger. Except, with a printer, you can have the extruder “retract” a little which does introduce a vacuum effect and slow/stop the oozing.

    Note: make small adjustments with a direct drive (which most of these printers are using these days) so you don’t pull molten plastic into the heatbreak and have to deal with clogs. However, if it’s oozing out you’re probably not even close to that being an issue.

    I use Klipper and OrcaSlicer but when I get a new type of Filament (ABS, PLA, TPU) I tune it including retractions. This way it does cleaner lines and is less likely to leave blogs, stringing. And tuning filament retractions here (or something specific to purges) should fix the issue.

    From here

  • What are some of the worst obscure games?

  • Fair point. Hmmm…. The Atari version of pac man.

    That thing was just… bad.

    I can’t recall a lot of just plain bad games except the ones cited. But looking forward to anybody else coming up with something they maybe jogs my memory

    Jump

  • Tricky balance when you need to manage mold/fungal growth and too much cover killing grass. But yeah, we are “wasting” a lot of nutrients by trashing leaves like we do.

    Is your 3D printer insulated? How is the print chamber heated?

    Jump

  • What is probably the most critical are stable temperatures.

    Rapid changes can wreak havoc on ABS for example.

  • What about the filament feed path? I have a 1.5 and the only thing about it is that I have to hand feed filament changed because of the space in the path between the gear and the bottom going towards the hotend

  • Jump Mr. Gaeta.

  • Why do people say "quote unquote something" and not "quote something unquote" ?

    Jump

  • Indeed. With very slowly pronounced “bunny ear finger quotes” as you say it to emphasize the sarcasm.

  • Why do people say "quote unquote something" and not "quote something unquote" ?

    Jump

  • I’ve heard it said both ways.

    For example.

    When the statement you’re quoting is going to be quote, short or simple, unquote.

    Or, if it’s going to stand on its own and be quote, unquote, some long citation that would make famous Russian authors jealous.

  • I want a name for this

    Jump

  • I did find this paper where somebody used the term “mindless reading”

    Smallwood, J. (2011). Mind‐wandering while reading: attentional decoupling, mindless reading and the cascade model of inattention. Language and Linguistics Compass, 5(2), 63–77. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1749-818x.2010.00263.x

    Seems that is the term used for it such as this talk in 2006

    https://ies.ed.gov/director/conferences/06ies_conference/posters/readingtq_reichle.asp

    Abstract: "Mindless reading" occurs when, during reading, our eyes continue to move across the printed page in spite of the fact that we are busy thinking about things that are often completely unrelated to the text.

  • Thermometers reading different temperatures on cold printer?

    Jump

  • If they’re on board that could be their idle ambient temps.

    The currents running through them, resistors, etc all generate some heat.

    I tend to look at board temps less about the environment and more about how the board is doing.

    Is it suddenly running very hot, etc.

    As for the extruder it is attached to a thermal mass. So it may take longer to adjust but you did say it’s been sitting there for a bit.

  • Marketing Consultant: No, King Condiment, you can’t put red in red on an ad. They won’t see it. They’ll wonder why you’re selling a gun to shoot at food.

    The King: But it’s great advertising!

    Marketing Consultant: No, that’s not a great marketing ad.

    The King: But they can still use red for ketchup right?

    Marketing Consultant: Of course. And your instructions can tell them which is for which.

    The King: It’s so confusing!

    Marketing Consultant: It is. And if you had hired us before manufacturing millions of these we could have told you about using another base color with red and yellow grips and triggers. But you didn’t and so here we are.

  • What’s an album you thought you would like at first but ended up disliking after listening to it?

    Jump

  • Similar answer to a different question.

    Something that I liked at first but now dislike.

    Decades ago (stone cold sober no less) I really liked Pink Floyd.

    Now I just find it difficult to sit through. I want something a bit faster pace.
