dd’s give better retraction and can offer better precision, especially with flexible filament

Bowden can print much faster because the print bead weighs substantially less and introduces less patterning

If you need an upgrade (or want, heh.)… I doubt you can go wrong with microswiss. At least, I never have. (Their nozzles are my bread and butter, too)

Micro Swiss has an amazing dual gear for Bowden tubes. They’re advertised as fitting creality machines but they basically just sit on top of the motor, so as long as your motor is the same size you can make it work.

Of course any of their direct drive extenders are definitely worth it

I'm not sure what i just clicked on... mostly because during the last election republican candidates at the state level had legitimate websites that looked... worse.

just jump in the freezer, you'll pop right off.

definitely a bit of under extrusion.

for the record, the formula is pretty simple.
its ( [original esteps] x [intended length] ) / [obtained length] = [new value for esteps] I would suggest setting up a spreadsheet to simply the process.

think that's the problem. it's like carrying in the heavy bags of salt or stuff. gotta have two. to stay balanced.

you know. one printer with the .1mm nozzle (and the gear train on the extruder to make that work... bleh) and another printer with the 1mm nozzle and 3mm filament, and another with the direct drive for the TPU and stuff... and maybe a paste extrusion... and maybe... uh...

...okay maybe I have a problem...

Has he learned to play Calvin Ball yet? It’s an immensely fun game!

You were a middle sibling, weren’t you?

Both are cute, so more please!

Hehe, that might actually have been more of the Uncle’s influence.

He’s the one that started me on the science fiction addiction- when I got into his (then-complete) collection on VHS. I found them and started. Binge watching them. Got to Trouble With tribbles when I was found out- and then it was my Uncle who was like “oh! That’s my favorite. Rewind it while I go make popcorn!”

The name comes from mountain difficulty classifications. 5 being the tallest, 10 being the most difficult.

It was because they were hard wearing and had … pockets…. That cops picked them up, and then, all the tactilool wannabes came.

I can't tell if you're just being honest, or being sarcastic. or like... you know... both.
you have no idea how depressing this is.

well, if it's your personal mac and you'll be taking it with you, it's difficult to see import taxes being a necessary thing.

It's more the... if a group of people can't get "good" hardware because of export controls ... legally... some might take a shine to yours.

my first beowolf cluster, I built because I wanted to improve my pentium 486's chances at doing well in some random FOSS benchmark (PiMark? it calculated pi.... and you could 'donate' cpu runtime to help calculate more digits of pi.) It was cobbled out of my dad's spare part's rack.
Should have seen my dad's face when he realied why i built the beowolf.... "You mean... you did this. FOR PI??"("Okay, that's actually cool.")

no. it's a void attack platform. with shields. and lasers. and a camouflage unit stuck on 'old school crib'.

Also, you gotta be careful with macproducts some places.
Especially if they have export controls (Doubt turkey does, being nato,).

Retirement.
life of leisure.

Sure I'll probably still find something useful to do. maybe even productive. But. It'll be my choice and not a job.

First video game I remember playing? Short Order on NES (with the pad.) That was followed shortly by monopoly- also NES.

First game I beat? was dad's copy of Zelda (NES,) Which... I wasn't supposed to be playing. I got caught when I saw my dad was struggling with the water temple.
"Dad...dad DAD. you go here. get that. Do this. And then do this that and this."
"Oh. Cool. wait. how do you know this?"
"Oh i beat it last week."
awkward pause
"you better pay attention. that's the boss."
"We're not telling mom about this."

NASA still almost lost the Mars Climate Orbiter in '98- they used metric, and Lockheed used US customary. Probably put it on approach too close to mars, and uh, it "encountered" the planet....

NASA has the best euphemisms.

(edit: also in 3d printing world...we almost always use metric, partly because it's literally an international community.)

actually, they didn't need examples (even if it would make things easier.)

for example, the meter was originally defined as one ten millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole. (which, given the necessary instrumentation, was something "anyone" could measure. well, instrumentation and instruction.) it's now based on the emissions of krypton-86, and the wave length of a certain part of it. Again anyone with the proper tools is able to measure this.)

Similarly, the kilogram was defined- originally- as the mass of one liter of water. the liter was defined as the volume of a cube with a length of ten centimeters.. (today it gets quite a bit more complicated, but based on observable constants...)

we can agree- we need more cat pictures. Can we also agree we need more doggos, too?

Also, turtles, frogs, sneks, hedgehogs, rabbits. reptilians. And pretty much everything else I'm missing.
