  • Old article but I'm sure the science hasn't changed: https://hackaday.com/2016/02/01/3d-printing-fumes-new-science/

    Basically, if you are printing with PLA you are probably pretty safe. But I still don't think I would sit in a tiny closet and hotbox with my printer. An open window or carbon filters on your HVAC are probably more than sufficient. And PLA is the most popular type of filament, so you aren't limited much there. Unless you need higher temperature parts to withstand sun or car interiors. Then you are getting into materials you want to start looking into better ventilation for.

  • If you are interested at all, the hobby has never been cheaper to get into. <$200 gets you a printer and several spools of filament to learn with.

  • Yeah, luckily mine still has both, it's an older model I found as new old stock. The one it replaced was network only, and I had to have a long talk with the router about never letting it play outside.

  • Countdown until someone posts that you are already dead from bacteria in the layer lines.

    I so need to do this for my toolboxes. I know it would take a long time, but it would end up saving me so much more time.

  • I would never let a printer be connected to the outside internet unless there was a specific remote printing option I needed that couldn't be done over remote desktop.

    I love my Brother, that thing has been a tank, but it's never going to get to know the world exists out of my office.

  • Cops have a terrifying way of “knocking.”

    It's supposed to be, it's psychological. But you are not legally obligated to open it. If they have a good enough reason to be there, they will let themselves in. Otherwise keep your mouth shut, the lights off, and out of sight so you don't give them that reason; and they can fuck off.

  • Not to dismiss what happened here. But who is still opening their door when random strangers bang on it?

  • Ahh, the old "My wife threw it in the trash". Second only to "I lost it in a boating accident".

    I jest. Thanks for answering, I didn't know that part.

  • Hunter Biden was indicted on three felony gun charges, alleging that the younger Biden illegally purchased a gun while on drugs.

    Do Republicans really want to open the Pandora's box of combing through firearms sales? Surely that leopard wouldn't turn on them.

    Hunter owned an unloaded gun for 11 days

    That kind of sounds like a straw purchase, and is something with a legal precedent. Why wouldn't they go for that?

  • So they take away the peaceful methods of checking out and then wonder why people choose firearms.

  • Honestly never heard of it.

  • While it probably is the latter; I remember when I worked for sherwin williams, green was one of the most expensive colored pigments.

  • Death by sodium nitrate doesn't sound pleasant. Ya'll don't sell the helium party balloon filling kits in Canada?

  • You know where they are also found? Fruits and vegetables. Damn you mother nature!

    "The dose makes the poison"

  • I don’t write off a whole breed,

    I can. They are a non-natural breed created by people for cruel purposes and should be eradicated.

  • DVR doesn't take up much space in the safe. And the heat produced helps keep humidity down.
