Mostly that they respect the privacy of my users and that they don't have shady business practices that want to push you towards an over-expensive paid tier.
Got a split keyboard (ergodox ez) just to notice that all the special keys are very tough to reach and there are no F-keys. All in all not such a great experience. The split part is good though if you type a loooot anf if you have wrist rests.
Would a larger inner diameter not cause the transmission of movement to be less direct due to bending and coiling inside the tube? This is probably mostly an issue in bowden systems
There are some serious differences between a badly made loaf and a well done one though. You never stop learning. But yeah, it's easy to get something passable.
Yeah, very nice. It will be tough to bootstrap since you need a critical mass of people who ideally live close together so that it's cheap and quick enough to deliver the items in question.
I've been using various GNU/Linux distro over the course of the last 20 years. When I started out, packages could never be too fresh and cutting edge. Nowadays I'm an admin and I administer way too many VMs. I dream of a system that I never need to update. While I know that's almost impossible if you want to be secure now might finally be the time I give slackware a try. I'm also old enough to be more curious about learning less but more in depth.
Sorry, I completely didn't read all of your comment. You're right about resistance but then again the filament won't need to touch the enclosing coil at a large surface. In the usual bowden tubes, you have a lot of contact surface between tube and filament but this would not need to be the case in the drying coil. In the end it would all depend on the application. I'm not interested in very high speed printing (yet) because my machines are all pretty slow :).
You "just" need a longer distance inside the drying chamber. This could be achieved by coiling up the space where the filament travels through and guide hot and dry air through that space, ideally from the outlet towards the inlet. That air could maybe be pulled from the hotend cooler.
Argh finally someone tries the obvious solution. I was already considering it but was demotivated since it seemed so obvious and nobody seemed to have done it before.
This device could also probably be printed in PLA. I can't wait until I get my lab power supply so I can give this a try with a wire coil heater.
Edit: you could even mount some PTFE tubing mounted below a heated bed and pass air through it. That way you could potentially get away without a heating element and re-use some power usually lost.
Thanks but that's not what I'm looking for. I need to send mails only.
