Yeah the majority of people I know aren't interested in being content creators. I know I'm not. Every now and then I'll share something, but I have no interest in spending time making a community

I've never seen anyone tip a gas station attendant in NJ before. I don't know what they get paid though

I disagree with your claim that it's a right. And would you look at that? So does the UN.

I would agree that gaiting information from a child isn't abusive, but like many things it's not without nuance.

  • Santa? Sure, whatever.
  • Went out for drinks, but act like you were working late? Not great, but that's your perogative.
  • Refuse to let the school teach about traffic lights, because you don't like cars, and don't drive? Uh. That's gunna cause some issues down the road. (Pun very much intended)

Generally I think it just comes down to under preparing them for life. It's not abusive, but intense cases of it could start approaching neglect. The Wikipedia page for child neglect does mention this:

Educational/developmental neglect is the failure to provide a child with experiences for necessary growth and development, such as not sending a child to school or educating them.

Yes! That sounds like a very interesting discussion!

Designing models for 3d printing in c/[email protected]

Here's the model in the picture for those interested: Tak Game

Designing models for 3d printing (sh.itjust.works)
 

I came across a really clever idea today for minimizing warping on a large flat surface. The modeller made the first two layers into a series of bridges, which seems to let the plastic shrink and stretch a bit, also preventing some possible blobbing.
At least I assume that's what's going on here. I've never seen it before, but it printed great without curling or warping.

I've also picked up some looser ideas. Things like:

  • Adding a 0.02 tolerance to interlocking part will help parts fit together. Adding small chamfers to edges will also help
  • 3 shells helps give a nice, smooth surface
  • Orienting parts on the bed so that layers are perpendicular to stress can prevents layers from delaminating in functional parts
  • Orienting parts such that fine details are vertical will help things look prettier
  • Add slight chamfers on the underside of overhangs can help minimize or even eliminate the need for supports
  • Create inset holes with this method to eliminate the need for supports. This also works with other shapes

What other modelling tricks have you seen?

First off, OP seems to be a woman. Also why do you give a shit if a man if wearing a kilt? Do you also scoul from across the coffee shop if someone is wearing shorts that stop above the knee? Nobody's forcing you to do anything
