Right up until they get taken down because they're "insensitve", or bowdlerized.

And the sad thing is this has been going on for at least probably 20 years.

I already bought unsubscribeasaservice.com

I looked at the Flashforge A5DX and then I saw how much waste that style generates. Multiple toolheads are pretty nice.

Makerworld has lots of "4l cereal box filament storage" recipes--they hold one spool, a small dessicant chamber, and a cheap hygrometer. I bought a Polydryer and found a y-splitter funnel attachment that lets me set the dryer upside down on top of a container. Run that & keep your filament in...

Start of setup above. Below, the first non test print. This is a foot for a Rook 2020 Mk2, a small, fairly ready to build CoreXY printer. Doing it in ASA for no specific reason.

Yeah. My apartment was 60% humidity until I talked to the office, who said it was a known issue and had the maintenance guy come out and tweak it. Now it runs 50-52%, which seems OK for PLA, but is still a bit high for PETG, but as I said in my last post I'm building up a storage system to...

ABS degrades under exposure to UV light, but ASA doesn't. And it's less smelly, but I solve that for ABS with an enclosed printer running a hepa and charcoal filter (Bento Box). I get you with PETG vs PLA, and I mostly print in the latter. But I bought a filament dryer because my apartment...

First ASA print. Took two tries, as it lost bed adhesion completely around layer 5. Switched to a smooth PEI plate with glue stick and the second try came out pretty good.

I don't see how you could feasibly make this safe. It's like that Chinese demo a while go of ejecting batteries from an EV if they catch fire. What happens if there's another car in the direction your car spits 'em out? Bad day. Even if you just use the Roadster thrusters to kick the car in...

What, the hop? Only if there's someplace the Roadster can come down safely. You probagbly really don't want it firing off on the interstate when you come around a corner or over a hill and traffic is stopped with no warning and your normal response would be to stomp on the brake. It'd be...

Just imagine what Jack Doherty could do with the Thrust model.

He's said no apps installed.
