That's awesome, I'm happy your date liked it!

Print times can be a little off putting, but rushing can lead to a lot of lost time in this hobby. 10-12 hours seem rather realistic for that size, but I imagine it's a hurdle when coming from FDM printing. :)

'New' gang, represent!

Excuse me, but could you rephrase the question to fit a single sentence?

@Okalaydokalay@lemm.ee

True, the sticking can be quite the hassle. I personally (carefully) sanded down the metal print plate, as to make it more rough and therefore more sticky, and then bought some new film from fepshop.com which should be less sticky than the original on my Elegoo Mars Pro 1.

That worked really well, minimizing layer shifts quite a bit and allowing me to use less supports without the print going haywire.

Oh, that makes sense, and thank you for explaining it!

It's a grand idea to make an index, not only for better exposure, but I bet it also makes it easier for FNIC communities to handle potential problems in unity - if they want to.

I apologize for making assumptions. It is most definitely a good idea to not have the whole of Lemmies Imaginary communities depend on a single persons whims. Though I've personally never had any beef with INE, we often see how bad such communities can end up.

It's good to have some more pleasant art pop up in my feed, and have a proper place to link people with which I discuss art on Lemmy, so thank you for making FNIC!

I am indeed, thank you very much! :D

I've only been seeing scattered Imaginary communities on Lemmy so far, which I assumed were rogue communities, so I'm happy to see you guys from INE make an official FNIC here.

Thanks for the art breaks from all the chaos that's happening here on Lemmy. Godspeed, and lemmy see you around!

Ayy, another ImaginaryX community. Aaand I'm subbed! <3

True, but lord Gabe is aging, and I'm not sure what will happen once he's gone. If Steam falls to greed, screwing up it's user base and developer base as so many others before it, then I imagine a wave of pirates of significant proportions will emerge.

Your cleaning procedure should be fine, I do the same but by hand.

I meant shaking the resin while it's still in the bottle, before you pour it out into the reservoir of the resin printer. The resin can separate into it's base components, giving bad prints, and might sometimes need a LOT of shaking to properly mix.

One should also clean the bed/reservoir and "reshake" the resin at least every 24 hours if possible.

First off, remove supports while washing, and before curing.

Regarding the cloudiness, you did properly shake the resin before usage, right? And yes, letting it dry entirely is rather important, so don't skip on that part! ;)

Regarding the layer shifts: your print settings are most likely sub optimal for your setup, you'll need to readjust them, this can be very tedious, but if you are using a popular brand of resin in a popular brand of printer, then you should be able to find settings which worked for others.

Regarding the layers: correct, it's support failure! That, and perhaps a mix of bad settings for the chosen resin. Make sure that you have at least 1 heavy support for each large freehanging extremity, and finish it off with a LOT of smaller supports in the area. Especially if it's a larger flat area!

Isn't Monero "some crypto bullshit"? Or is there a privacy related tool with the same name that I'm not aware of?

That, and the reddit repost bots who sometimes mass post content from Reddit with no interaction on Lemmy.

Now, having the same post being replicated on multiple subs was no rarity on Reddit, but they tended to use crossposting.

I've found the current moderation tools to be enough to deal with the latter problem, but crossposting or linking posts would be a nice feature on Lemmy, even if I'm not sure how one would properly implement that on the fediverse. So yea....

We had this question before, so let's get right back at it!

There was a rather controversial happening at Reddit a few months ago, which caused a lot (in Lemmy terms) of users to check out Lemmy.

Some of those users left rather soon, and some more keep dropping off regularly, as they can't seem to adapt to Lemmy, or rather live without one or another feature or content from Reddit.

Now to your question, what can we do better?

Advertisement is of course one, but a large part of the users who left Lemmy we're likely because of Lemmies unfinished state, so maturing Lemmy should be a top priority. "But properly maturing a social site requires an already existing user base" - and that's exactly what we have right now, even if it's dwindling.

Other solutions might also spring from creating the better user experience, such as features to moderate properly, both on a moderator and user basis, and of course to provide sufficient high-quality content.

We can of course try and forcefully promote Lemmy while promising rich lands and green fields, but I think that this is not the optimum path for Lemmy at this time, as we just might acquire the same bad reputation that vegetarians or Linux or a lot of other good initiatives suffered from.

Nisser, the Danish, or rather Scandinavian, small and cute gods of protection. As far as I know, the nisse can form when an old farmer dies and is buried on their farm. The nisse will then henceforth protect the farm and it's inhabitants.

Now, while considered fun and cute in modern times, the gårdsnisser (contrary to the more feral and much more dangerous skovnisser/forest nisser) are very gullable with a strong sense of guilt, and they are hotheaded and intractable/stubborn to an unreasonable degree. They will protect you and give good luck if treated well, but will be intolerable if they feel inconvenienced or not properly cared for, to the point where they might directly or indirectly kill everyone on the farm out of spite.

Sometimes they cause atrocities because of misunderstandings, and when finding out that it was a misunderstanding on their part will cause harm to others to make up to their own farm, such as stealing cattle from neighboring farms to make up for the cows they killed earlier.

Now, the possibly worst thing you can do is to try and force a nisse to show itself to you. The small creatures accept indirect gifts, but don't like direct contact and have a cursing bite, and will most definitely bite if cornered, such as by a nosy and persistent child. This curse makes one fall sick, loosing health and strenght until one perishes in a matter of months/years. As far as I'm aware, there is no cure for the curse, and regarding the nissers tendency to be fooled or act before thinking, well....

Having a nisse on your farm can be a great blessing, but one is also constantly in danger of having their whole family killed over a minor misunderstanding or mood swing. So it is heavily recommended not to acquire any farms where a nisse might reside.

To expand on your comment:

It's only as good as the total loss and delay for any given route. One weak connection does not define the speed and delay, instead, the accumulative weakness of all used mesh units, from the modem to your computer, does.

Therefore, you usually want to minimize the number of mesh units the connection has to go through, like making a cabled star or mesh topology instead of a wireless linear topology.

Might not be relevant for op, but playing games or using VNC or other time sensitive tasks can become really tough.

Ayy shit, I come from a island hamlet where we catched live hares and sold them off. The islanders often told outsiders that "To catch a hare, one must sneak up behind it and stray some salt on its tail, after which one can simply grab it".

I guess it makes sense to see this joke in the wild, but it never occurred to me that we weren't the only ones using it.

I feel ya, a few of my personal favorites when it comes to escaping all the politics are:

!aminals@lemmy.best

!itemshop@sh.itjust.works

!nathanwpyle@lemmy.world

!raccoons@lemmy.world

!witchymemes@lemmy.world

And then of course all of the ImaginaryX communities, which I'm sure there exists a register of somewhere, but I just sub as I stumble across them.

Probably the same reason people keep posting the same questions in tech subs over and over and over again.

There are a lot of people who need help/need to tell the world about something great to them, but few people are capable of or care to search previous posts.

Moderators removing duplicates often results in a bad user experience, especially so for new users who haven't seen that post tens of times, so it's often allowed to a certain degree.

Partly to reduce Reddit's reputation as the place to find answers for obscure problems, and partly to encourage neutral users to search for alternatives.

I think that deleters will not make a mind breaking difference, but the idea is to remove and rebuild that information other places.

With that said, if any of you had posted some obscure but wildly useful information on Reddit, please consider making a post in the relevant Lemmy community (or stack overflow, or wherever) with the solution.

Go for a car from the 19th century just to be sure. They might miss a few features, such as differential, but if you're worried about your privacy it'll be worth it!

/j obviously.
