  • 3D Printing is Fun!

  • These nozzles are cheap. And it shouldn't be very difficult fix this one if you have a heat gun. The hard part will be to get at the latch that holds the the nozzle assembly in the extruder. That's small, fiddly, and delicate part that there is a good chance of breaking.

    So while you are ordering that spare heater assembly, ($20US) you might as well get a new nozzle too, ($10US).

  • US teen drug, alcohol and tobacco use continues to decline

    Jump

  • What? Is it because teens can't afford booze, cigarettes, and drugs anymore? Maybe they need to buy less Starbucks and avocado toast so they can party more.

    This is a good trend I think. I hope they carry it on well into the rest of their lives.

  • I am a veteran of that war. I shitposted for Vim. The scars that war left will never heal. The nice doctor here is trying to get me to use nano. Baby steps she says. But she say says soon I will be using Kwrite.

  • PETG is just as stringy as I was told

  • I would bet on retraction here. Dial that in and 90% of the stringing goes away.

  • Or just use a textured PEI plate at the proper bed temperature. There is very little need for special adjuncts to print PETG.

  • How to enjoy New Year's Eve

    Jump

  • I'm married and New Year's Eve is our Anniversary. I do not think we have ever gone out to celebrate 3 times over 38 years. Because it ain't worth it. Better to stay home and enjoy the rib eye steaks or wild game supper that I make for us at home. Add a glass or two of wine, and it's perfect.

    Plus the next morning, I don't need to remember how I got home-- IF I got home-- or how to use socks and underwear.

    Bars might be fun for the young, but only the young.

  • Finally, time to play

  • Solitaire and Mines it is then! Well, maybe a bit of Mahjong too.

    Edit: Hey wait a minute! I got FreeDoom too! An eternity of gaming!

  • i have been informed I have a 3D Printer hobby, not a 3D Printing hobby

    Jump

  • Machines are a means to an end. Not the end in and of itself. It just depends on what YOUR ends turn out to be.

    There is nothing wrong with having your printer be the hobby. It''s a valid part of of the printing hobby and the current state of 3D printing wouldn't be it is right now. And Bambu has done nothing new that hobbyists weren't already doing as a hobby to modify their machines. So I wouldn't worry much about what a Bambu owner thinks.

  • Why Conservatives Are Now Obsesses with Raw Milk

    Jump

  • I grew up drinking raw milk because we were milking 50 head of cows every day. Why make a 50 mile round trip to buy something we 500 gallons of right there in the yard. No one died or even got sick from it. Is it better for you? I don't know or care. It's what we had and the price was right. And it's VERY unlikely any of you would actually want to drink it. And this includes the magahats also. It tastes nothing like the stripped down and flash pasteurized milk you are used to.

    That said, for the commercial milk you buy and drink, it's an absolute must to pasteurize the milk. It's going to take a week for that milk to get from the dairy to your refrigerator and you expect it last another week or two. And so food safety demands it.

    In any case, it's not illegal to drink raw milk. You just can't sell it to other individuals. If you want raw milk all you need do is to simply get your own cow and milk it. Then you can drink it all you want.

  • Why Conservatives Are Now Obsesses with Raw Milk

    Jump

  • I grew up on a dairy farm and milked cows every day. We never bought "store" milk to drink. It always came from the tank every morning. We also made and ate foods that would cause you urbanites blanch and faint if you only knew, (I miss the home made blood sausage and canned beef my Grandmothers made). It's not a death sentence like many of you seem to think. But, for commercial store bought milk, it IS imperative that the milk is pasteurized for consumer safety. That milk might be a week or two old before it reaches your refrigerator in the Big City/Suburbs/Gentrified neighborhood.

    I doubt if drinking raw milk will become common place amongst magahats. It tastes NOTHING like what they or you are used to. It's a whole different thing. And the vast majority of you would hate the taste of it and refuse to drink it. And the first time someone gets the shits from drinking it, they will try and sue the dairy they bought the milk from. And that won't end well.

    In Europe they seem to not have the same fear/issues with the sale or consumption of "raw dairy" that we do here in the US. Perhaps they are smarter about such things.

  • Behold, my first ever 3D printed object

    Jump

  • I bought a Mini with AMS last month to add along side my old Mk3s+. It's faster, (though not that much faster in the end), and the AMS works very well. And it was easy to setup and get running.

    But it has had some basic design issues that need attention, (for which there are community fixes you can find). And even after careful tuning, it really isn't any better than the Mk3s for print quality. It's just easier to print in color if you choose to be wasteful with filament. Like I am doing right now.

    Coming from an Ender, it will be an upgrade though. I do think the the A1 series is a good inexpensive home use printer though.
