“Nature is fucking metal”

The one I remember from school was phrased slightly differently (but same concept) :

Poor little Jimmy is lying on the floor, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4

You must have much higher standards than me.

Sometimes the first, then eventually the second when you realize you did it but forgot you did it.

I can’t think of how there could be any but I’m not a lawyer 🤷

Host it yourself with Ladder : D

https://github.com/everywall/ladder

I started hosting this when 12ft wasn’t working for many things. I told a friend and they said “what about 1ft?” Which I hadn’t seen before. Now that other commenters said 1ft is shutting down, I’m glad I went ahead with self hosting Ladder

Also might check out /c/selfhosted for more self hosting info.

Same. I go through periods of printing a lot then getting busy and not touching it for months. I’ve noticed my PLA and PLA+ get really brittle as they age even when stored in a dry box and drying again before use.

I can usually get it to print but I have to be gentle with it.

Currently migrating a massive monolithic Java application to microservices… The circle of life continues.

Want to just swap jobs in ~5 years to keep the cycle going? You can migrate this project back to a Java monolith and I’ll migrate your monolith back to micros :D

I like to call myself a codemonkey

I agree with aloe juvenna as well. Looks like some I used to have.

Other recommendations are great but you could also try some type of adhesive AFTER you’ve eliminated any other potential problem sources.

It does look a over extruded. Have you calibrated your esteps? I always need to do that when changing filament types and sometimes even between rolls of the same filament type (especially bargain bin PLA from amzn)

My ender 3 with a textured glass bed sticks perfect with PLA and nothing else. For some reason PLA+ tends to lift. Glue stick helped with PLA+ but I hated dealing with because it REALLY stuck so I switched to masking tape. That does the job and is easier to remove. On my CR-10 with plain glass bed (no texture) I use hairspray… Mostly because that’s what the guy I bought it from recommended and, to be honest, it does work amazingly. Nothing sticks to that glass plate bed without an adhesive but it pops right off once the bed cools down.

That said, I don’t recommend “extra” adhesives unless you’re fully sure you’ve solved any other potential problems. They can be a help/bandaid but if the root cause is something else then you’re just masking it.

Some materials and beds need some help, some don’t. I primarily use PLA and PLA+ with the occasional PETG and TPU.

I don’t have videos of mine but I used the model from the video above and it shows assembly/use. I should note that he specifically says you can’t do a heel/toe on the machine because it only turns one way. But, if you use both guides it CAN crank both ways. However, it tends to get jammed on me when doing decreases due to too much friction. So, I just crank a tube and do the afterthought… Still a huge time saving.

Here’s a picture of it during some lightweight/fingering turning from a couple of days ago.

All in, I’ve got maybe $75 into the build if you don’t count time. It was fun, so I don’t : )

“Dean and Bean” (I think) sells a printed version for something like $400? Of course, the metal ones go for multiple thousand.

I did. This was the source model I used : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6160954

I bailed to signal the day after Facebook bought whatsapp. No regrets and nothing lost :)

Ugh, I also have a special hatred for touch screen anything in cars.

Give me fucking knobs and buttons. I don’t want to have to stop looking at the road while I drive a 1000kg death machine because I can’t adjust the air con without looking.

Ah, I thought that was by design.

I’m running it on phone, tab (long ago), and desktop… What do you mean?

I think I’ll continue sticking to “dumb” cars… at least as much as they’re available.

The “smart” fad can go fuck a duck.

I had to check and make sure I didn’t type the comment above because it sounds exactly like me.

All UIs do things slightly differently, the CLI is always exactly the same… Everywhere. UI for non trivial conflict resolution? Definitely. For everything else, CLI.

And, I’m also reticent to use rebase unless I have to. Gimme that good ole FF :)

@meggied90@lemm.ee has perfect advice (the others are great too, but that’s the one that resonated with me).

Make sure you’re good with knitting (and purling) first. If you’ve never done it before DON’T start with a sock. Do something like a scarf - it’s much simpler, you can do it much faster, and you can still turn out something that you like and will use. If you want to go even more simple, pot holders / hot pads are “fast” and easy.

I may or may not have a pair of socks that I dived into with fingering weight in 2019 that’s still mocking me. Though I did do two more rows when I saw this post out of shame.
