...after an extended period of PETG, and I have to say I think my favorite part is after the print ends and the bed starts to cool off and the snap/crackle/pop of the piece coming off on it's own. Such a pleasant ASMR experience.

Highly recommend..

You'll probably end up getting O+ but yeah the tattoo doesn't matter.

I bought my model D used for $250, if I ever sell it I'll turn a profit :P

I started maxing my Roth Ira out when I was earning $10/hr. Avoid spending money on things that don't literally matter and save for the things that do. Pay attention to where every single dollar/pound/Euro/shekel goes. Stay out of debt. Keep drug/alcohol use reasonable. Most of the time folks who are concerned about retiring/money have no idea how much they spend on what. Saving for retirement is easy once you start doing it and get used to it, but you need to start early and you need to invest in the stock market. Avoiding chronic illness or accidents or long periods where you aren't earning income are probably necessary too. Staying out of legal trouble is probably necessary as well.

I've been using Fedora Core since 2004 and it seems like it's mostly worry free for me, but then again I remember the olden days when I needed to spend significantly more time on getting stuff to work. I think it helps to use mainstream hardware as well. I've been running thinkpads for years now and I think that probably helps with compatibility. I also tend to run refurbished older hardware because it's cheaper and I don't need bleeding edge performance.

Have you cratered your tip recently? I was having lots of problems similar to yours that were solved when I put in a new tip

I would assume if they were the ONLY hospital in Lubbock it would be different but it seems like there are plenty of other hospitals, albeit not level one trauma centers. I wonder if the area has "diversion" protocols already. The vast majority of patients transported by ambulances don't need level one trauma centers so its probably more nothingburger than the article is making it out to be

I've been an avid open source software user for 20 years, I will take my freedom with a side of quirks any day.

I also don't design professionally.

Did you know the patient was having a stroke?

Why do you think you froze?

Watching youtube isn't gonna help, what you need to do is get out of your head and probably silence the internal dialogue when you are on calls so you can focus on doing the job.

I couldn't shower with my eyes open for weeks because of Fire in the Sky, I was afraid I was gonna see an outline of the aliens behind the shower curtain.

Maybe not superior but I'll accept less terrible

It's just 3d printers all the way down....until you get to the gun.

 
 

Trying to design and print a clip for my crisper drawer, learning something new with every print.

Good thing they are only 5 grams of filament each…

The sv06 is a champ

 

After researching I decided to buy a new SV06, set up easy and printed a benchy without incident.

I was surprised at how good the build quality was. Currently working on printing brackets for the crisper drawer of my refrigerator

 

I'm shopping for my first printer, I don't have any experience with 3d printing but I'm vaguely familiar with the whole process and I understand there will be a learning curve and I'm looking forward to that part.

I'm leaning towards the Creality S1 Pro because I remember the huge hub-bub about the Ender 3 when it first came out and it seems like everyone and their brother suggests it as a good first printer but then when I read reviews it seems kinda janky and I'm an adult with a job so I don't mind fussing a little but I don't want to fuss a lot.

I picked the S1 Pro because I think it has an auto-leveling print surface and the name recognition from the previously mentioned Ender 3, but when I try to research other printers I'm completely overwhelmed by the options.

 

I've been thinking about interesting observations about this job, and something I've noticed is that we all seem to have problems with boundary setting, which seems to often contribute to a lot of the problems we see.

I was just thinking about this.
