My Mini Factory is primarily where I get mine (if you want a list of users I primarily buy mine)

Cults3D is another place but they’re a lot more hit and miss on quality IMO

The best models are purchased models (in general) though MZ4250 on Printables models are free and also pretty high quality.

Personally I won’t pirate models of people in the 3D printing mini community as I want to support the creators in that space as they’re not giant megacorps.

I’d say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you’re failing to see the biases inherent to the content you’re consuming. There’s the flaw of “I think it’s this way” seeking out that content and not seeing that it’s poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.

Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you’re reinforcing.

It’s a complicated can of worms for sure.

I’m not sure exactly what model but it’s a 4k 75in hisense running Android from like 5 years ago

Don’t know how I missed that vid as I’m subbed to Jeff Geerling

Damn that’s an informative video though

Damn I’m happy to hear they’re alright and I hope he can get that straightened out quick

Personally I just setup a PC as a NAS‡ and installed VLC on my TV so that I can just browse the NAS and play the files directly

Is it efficient? No.

Is it the best way? Also no.

Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well in fact.

‡ The first time was simply a network shared folder, the second time was using TrueNAS.

Wait, what’s going on with LGR?

I don’t have xitter account so I can’t see what’s going on

The last thing I want is to normalize dehumanizing people

Maybe it comes from being a part of a group that has historically been dehumanized but it always leads to bad outcomes

Recent events with streaming services has really been the best argument for self hosting your own content

Literally I’ve only ever seen 1 as litter in my neck of the woods and it was totalled when I found it

It’s been years since those things were normalized how have I only seen 1‽

I mean good job folks but damn

The 0.2mm nozzle has less material flowing through it than the 0.4mm

You can only force so much material through it before your nozzle before the extruder starts skipping

Think of a garden hose, the 0.4 mm nozzle is the hose flow unobstructed. When you put the finer nozzle on the hotend it’s like putting your finger over the end, the pressure behind the nozzle goes up.

Try printing at the same speed as the 0.4mm nozzle (this is what I do) and make sure that your slicer is properly configured for your new nozzle and it should adjust the flow so that it doesn’t chew the filament to bits in the extruder.

Also 0.2mm nozzles will clog a lot easier than a 0.4mm nozzle due to the smaller opening so you need to be pickier about filament.

You say you think you’re having heatcreep issues, what exactly are the issues you’re having?

me to Intel

Considering making votes public, not considering making mod actions inform the user they occur.

I can see where their priorities are.

Making votes something mods can see is one thing but public is whole other can of worms.

Edit: Spleling

I don’t typically see it on here and when I do I report that shit

Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube? Every day, Facebook loves to tell me how it doesn’t violate their rules though.

Yeah my filament printers do sensorless homing (they’re modded to frig) and it made me really wish my resin printer could do the same but there isn’t an open source board I could swap in there (as far as I know) so I’m just going to have to keep being careful with my current resin printer.

Not looking forward to it that’s for sure

I’ll just have to add it to the list of things I’m fixing on Saturday

Hopefully it fits nicely in the schedule without much trouble

Basically exactly what happened.

I didn’t even notice the bits missing from the print as it was still being rinsed in the alcohol.

The head of one of the minis I was printing for a friend popped off and I didn’t notice before starting the second batch of dudes and then CRUNCH $70 dollars for a new part to be on the way.

Edit: Unfortunately I’m familiar with the crunch of an LCD panel. I’ve broken a few but this is the first one on my resin printer. It lasted about a year before I broke it.

The Internet really did feel more genuine back then when it was ugly and half broken.

It was less sterile and uniform

Every site was unique

Communities felt more real

There I go, whistfully looking to the past again
