  • The primary concern with fdm printed parts is bacteria growth in the gaps and cracks, which you cant really avoid. Some materials allow vapor smoothing, but the most popular candidates ABS and ASA are not food save, even if perfectly smooth.

    For storing stuff that does not support bacteria growth (for sure salt, maybe tea bags and pepper) PETG is a good choice. Strong consistent layer adhesion enables water tight print. Its relatively chemically robust and will not chemically react with your food, and not leach out much if at all. It also means its mostly dishwasher safe, especially at low temperatures. You MUST have a properly tuned PETG profile to get a close to perfect surface with minimal defects. Burn of any stringing, otherwise it will end up as microplastic in your food.

    For storing stuff that can spoil, the requirements are a lot higher, and the only option is coating with a food safe resin. You should research what is compatible with the printed plastic, and maybe avoid dishwasher or aggressive cleaners.

  • For home use FreeCAD might be an okey replacement for autodesk. It's not as polished, but working well enough for simple geometrioes

  • Sounds interesting, I'll give it a try:

  • Very cool! Glad that there are finally working swaps directly from the app, and zero conf for low amounts is an appreciated upgrade.

    Because Monero is fungible, I assume there wont ever be KYC checks when using XMR to pay in another crypto through your service, is that correct?

  • Yeah just say you accept either prepaid with Monero (XMR) or using the cash-on-delivery option. A link to getmonero.org in the FAQ would be appreciated, but is not required.

  • I find spending a bit more on batteries goes along way. Although the nominal voltage and size may be the same, better batteries have lower internal resistance, ie provide the same current with less voltage sag. This prevent the low bat detection from tripping prematurely.

  • I prefer public discussion. If you must reach me privately, please send me a simplex invite, the lemmy chat is not encrypted.

  • Batteries have one advantage over over supplies: extremely low noise. Even an good LDO will bump up the noise floor, and a cheap lcsc part will do so too. Plus you's want a reasonably low dropout and quiescent current, which also increases price. Maybe 10ct in volume is reasonable for such a part - and yes, that will absolutely eat the margin

  • What is your target audience or use case? Because the obvious choice would be illegal items, which are excluded by your TOS. And while privacy enthusiasts are willing to spend extra, your asking price is too steep for casual use.

    I noticed the pricing page is entirely dollar nominated, with the only payment option listed "cash on delivery", listing a bunch of typical payment options. Monero is only mentioned as a feature on the usage and FAQ tab, and both are easy to miss. Initially I wondered why you were posting here if you only accept paypal and such.

  • did ... did vedal write this?

  • Don't dry filament in the oven. Simply put the filament spool on the print bed, set it to 60°C (PLA) or 70°C (PETG) and cover it with a cardboard box to trap the heat. Poke 3 holes in the box to lead damp air escape. Let it cook for 2-4h, then flip the spool and wait for another 2-4h. Store in air tight container with some silica gel to keep it dry.

  • People who have to use the best tools, use the best tools. In other news: water confirmed to be wet

  • The minimum security deposit is small enough to not be a problem in most cases. If you give away anything of value online, put a public donation address alongside it. If you don't you can join #getyourfirstxmr:monero.social and offer a low value deal in exchange for eg. gift cards.

  • There is a UFS-II specification and even a PCIe version specifically for micro SD cards. It was all planned out, and it would have been trivial to tell consumers: "Yo need card with more contacts as shown in picture". But no, the biggest manufacturer of flash storage is samsung, and they decided they'd rather sell higher storage capacity phones as a premium. Easy to do when you're the second biggest manufacturer of of phones and apple already paved the way.

  • Nice list. I chuckled at the fact that the bitcoin section does not recommend bitcoin :) We're also here on lemmy, if you ever need help or just want to say hi

  • Fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to type it out

  • It's worth it for the dry storage and automatic loading alone. Printing multiple objects one after another on the same bed and same print job, but with different materials is also a great feature and huge time saver for small parts. For actual multi-material prints the best use cases are imo writing into the first layer with a different color or using 2 different non-adhering materials for a thin layer between supports and the part. All of these things require very little filament changes and significantly improve the usage experience.

  • You are probably right, and I hate it.

  • Get a QR code scanner that shows you the raw data without connecting to the internet. Binary Eye on F-droid is pretty good. If it contains a link, and you click it without precautions, don't tell me I didn't warn you.

    Stickers are available on monerosupplies.com, including an option to donate or receive donated stickers if you can't afford any.
