  • Couple of thoughts.

    First, what you described sounds like most of the toys I’ve bought my kids growing up so if it brought them joy, probably about as valuable as anything else.

    Second, my experience is a bit different. My sons have 3d printed nick nacks displayed on their shelves and both have fidget toys they play with on the regular. Also I’ve got a chain fidget in my pocket I’ve been playing with all day.

    I’ve also got a box of less successful toys I’d love to recycle if I could but definitely some wins too. So I think there are a lot of toys you’d be right about but also a lot of them are actually pretty interesting and fun to the right person


  • Cleaning is a good suggestion. I’d start there.

    Also, that kind of looks like the cheap black textured plates that come with some printers. I thought the people talking about pei sheets were over-hyping but honestly they are really much better. It’s not a silver bullet but pla sticks soooo much better to them.

    For pla it’s overkill, but for tricky stuff build adhesive can help. I had good luck with vision miner. It’s expensive but it’s been buy once, cry once because it has lasted a really long time.






  • AMD’s been a better community member but like others said, even if Nvidia is more of a “pain” it’s generally easier than windows on most distros. They’ll detect and install it for you or it’s just a single package to install from the software library.

    Some free advice, If you’re worried about it stick with a mainstream distro. They’ll have tested releases more. it may seem counter intuitive but apply updates often, updates over multiple versions are more likely to have untested combinations of packages. If the drivers stop working, you’ll just not have acceleration, just uninstall and reinstall the drivers.





  • Yeah seeing the original I suspected retraction settings since it was mostly in places with lots of retractions.and long paths even out and look smooth.

    This fixed the under extrusion which seems to confirm it’s a retraction problem but disabling it entirely you’ve got those oozing artifacts where moves happen.

    I’d suggest using a small value for your retraction and probably take the time to use teaching tech or ellis’ tunning guides to tune your retraction settings.




  • Technically it’s not browser tolerance but spec tolerance. It’s built into the html5 spec to tolerate different tags closing and other things invalid in xml.

    This was an important design that grew out of one of the largest failings of xhtml that such failures would make the entire page unrenderable.
