  • TPU trouble, mostly dialed in but...

    Jump

  • It'll cause more zits and the like, more stringing, don't know that'd 100% cause the issue but certainly won't help.

    I just did a round of nylon last week which is also super hygroscopic, bag's like at most 8 months old but seal was intact. Even printing out of a drybox with fresh desiccant I noticed more stringing and occasional blobs + nozzle buildup over the few days (Was redoing my hotend so I inspected it, no sign of nozzle leaking), can definitely make overhangs worse.

  • RFK Jr. Report Will Link Autism To Tylenol Use During Pregnancy, Report Says

    Jump

  • It's pretty easy to overdose on Acetaminophen, Wikipedia suggests >100k a year in the us (it's in so many OTC medication, stuff like cough syrups and the like, really easy to hit the 4g/day max dose)

    I'll still use it, just use it responsibly.

    Jump

  • Could try turning the bow forward and see if that changes anything. From what I've read, start low with the fan, like 10-15%.

    All else fails, still say worth drying it if you can, I've had some really damp spools fresh out of the bag before.

    Jump

  • What printer and what orientation did you print these?

    Almost looks like some of the ones I've done in abs where I didn't get proper cooling (turned to have the bow @ 45°, 90° being straight toward the rear of the printer for reference) either from my fan settings or orientation, could try increasing the fan speed? I know you said you've dropped the temperature but personally I still find I need to have the part cooling fan on (do print enclosed though so YMMV)

    How dry is the filament, afaik tpu is hygroscopic (been a while since I've printed with it unfortunately), I've seen messy bow show up on less dry filament, always worth a try anyhow just to remove variables.

  • Does It Make Sense To Upgrade A Prusa MK4S To A Core One?

    Jump

  • Semi related, I was thinking about turning my mk3 into a core xy, came across a conversion for a mk3s that looks to reuse quite a few components, ProosaXY. I really like how many different mods people have done with these old machines, definitely helps keep things useful

  • BL A1 Textured PEI plate, print is warping. What to try first?

    Jump

  • 100% this, bed cleanliness is the first thing I'd look at for any adhesion issue. Dilute soap and water works well too, just pay attention to your surface, some don't like any solvents or water, just a wipe with micro fibre.

  • Foot pursuit through a minefield

    Jump

  • A lot of companies require parking so you can pull out of a spot as a safety thing, it's just second nature to me even though I haven't had a job that requires it in years. It's easier to see traffic that way, larger vehicles especially it's just way easier to park that way. I'll usually pull through if I can, but not always an option.

    For the work I did, safety wise it was so that no hitches were sticking out into traffic (pedestrian or vehicle), being able to maintain eye contact with other drivers and pedestrians and for evacuation in case of emergency.

  • The Terminal Demise Of Consumer Electronics Through Subscription Services

    Jump

  • FiiO has some that aren't super pricey (they run a range, their entry level stuff is usually really affordable), their amps and DACs are pretty solid in my experience so I'd totally look into one, second hand would definitely be an option there too.

  • What’s the most ridiculous “life hack” you’ve ever heard of?

    Jump

  • It was one course (had a you fail the course if you got a sub 40% on the final) and I was able to rewrite the exam in the summer, loss of structure killed me coming from hs. Was definitely a wake up for me as well, had study groups and roommates in subsequent years which helped me (and unhealthy quantities of caffeine)

    Got diagnosed with ADHD around a decade after graduating, which explained pretty much everything looking back.

  • Spotify to raise prices in September

    Jump

  • Yeah, was like just over a year later, they still are the independent & small label place imo, I don't have faith that'll last forever unfortunately. They still are my go to place for discovery and exploration, bandcamp daily still has some interesting finds, I just make sure I download my purchases.

  • They sold it to Songtradr in 2023, there were "layoffs", a lot of the employees involved with unionisation while Epic controlled the company were fired (in the wiki page toward the end of the history section).

  • Day 387 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Jump

  • I've come to really like WW over the years, that and TP may be my favourite of the console Zelda games, the graphics of WW aged pretty well imo, art style still looks great some 23 years later.

  • "The world of mousing around and typing will feel as alien as it does to Gen-Z to use MS-DOS." Really? How it would work?

    Jump

  • A future where interacting with a computer as if you were trying to get someone to do something over a screen share sounds like legitimate torture.

  • Periodic reminder to get your library cards and fill out museum surveys.

    Jump

  • Some places will issue library cards if you work in the city but don't live there just as an fyi.

    Some systems let you check out and sync to an e-reader too, kobos work with my system but I think there's other ways to get then on there.

  • Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar?

    Jump

  • Never did like pro level (and never had aspirations to do so), but way back in the day, the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) had an amateur league fittingly called the Cyberathelete Amateur League (CAL), we had a small team for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars that we competed in, didn't do stellar but it was a blast, met people from other teams we'd often practice with or just do pub games.

    It was total beer league type stuff, if you can find a group like that imo it's worth it, would love to have that type of experience again, end the day stakes were low and we played for fun, people took it serious but not too serious if that makes sense, it's really easy to kill the enjoyment if someone takes it too far though.

  • The new Nexus Mods app adds collections creation, library searching and more improvements

  • Stardew Valley as well

  • What are some events in history that most people would be surprised happened in parallel or at least within the same time period?

    Jump

  • Same vein, the Canadian/Laurentian Shield has areas dating back as far as 4.2 billion years, recall a geo prof in uni suggesting it would have been extremely tall, Wikipedia suggests 12km.

    Stuff gets unreal to me at geological timescales.

  • It'd be coated, but it's from processing, cold rolling metal generates a lot of heat, especially going that thin (thinnest I was around often was ~0.2mm), we'd often temper the material after processing, mainly for surface finish, mill rolls would be sprayed with lubricating coolant really close to what you'd see in use on a milling machine. This was with steel but same principle applies, pretty sure the lubricant we used is also labeled for use on aluminum mills, but you'd use food safe stuff for kitchen foil.

  • slow

    Jump

  • Simple way, make your preferred dough and then stash it in the fridge for a few days. Even just a few hours can make a difference, gives time for flour to hydrate at the minimum, longer is better for flavour.

    Applicable to almost any baked good too, bread/pizza benefits from long, slow ferments, get some complexity of flavour + can help with the dough's structure. Sour dough kinda forces you into these long fermentation periods, I tend to use a preferment (like a biga or poolish) when I'll use bakers yeast.

    Also can be convenient if you're busy, it's quick to mix things together, let the dough do the hard work for you.
