Oooofff, thanks for pointing that out!! Yikes - Birth of a Nation, dead in the water, terrible suggestion, strike it from the record, definitely don’t use that.

- Comment on I still remember in school when you got used text books that other previous years of classes had used. Still remember a history book that had porno captions on every picture 2 weeks ago:
We’d get a second-hand book sale just before school starts where there school would on-sell used books bought back (or donated) from previous years. All the parents and many kids would look for the book in the best condition. If you knew what was up, you’d thumb through them all and look for the ones with highlighting and the margin notes. My parents were like “why do you want the ratty old one?” But didn’t press the issue too hard cos at least they were cheaper than the pristine ones where the spine had never been cracked.

- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 3 weeks ago:
Oh that is funny. I’ve had no issues with it, that said, I was content to use a website to convert my .skp files into .stl so I could print but that was less annoying than the learning curve of new software. I tried all the free/OS ones people tend to mention and maybe I’m just an old grump now, but they frustrated me more than just being able to make the thing I’m trying to make and spend no more than 1-2 minutes getting the file uploaded, converted and saved ready to go.
Keen to hear if you find a good solution given we have the same foundation tool. I’d be willing to try a recommendation from someone in the same boat.
- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 3 weeks ago:
Copied this from a similar question I responded to a while back: I have been using Sketchup 2017 (whatever the last free version was they released) for years to make 3D models for all kinds of purposes, incl 3D printing. For my brain it has proven to be the most intuitive tool to learn, it’s been a really long time so maybe I have forgotten but I feel like the barrier to entry was pretty small. There is a lot of content out there from people giving tips and tutorials. There are plug-ins still flooding around that have really good functionality. I use it with a Connexion 3D Space Navigator mouse that’s prob 10+ years old. That’s been a godsend and adds so much efficiency and flow to the tool.
I don’t know if you can still download it from Trimble but there are sources for it elsewhere.
Have fun, whatever you choose.

Couple of sticks and an upside down bucket - you’ve got a drum. Add another bucket - bam! Drumkit! You’d be surprised how much sound and rhythm you can get from what’s around you using a couple of sticks. Get actual drum sticks if you wanna splurge. Listen to the Brazilian drums in Paul Simon’s The Obvious Child and just have a play. So much fun!

Ologies with Ali Ward (aka DadWard) I listened to it yesterday while fixing my hard wood floorboards - pretty interesting hey. I kept thinking the guest sounded a lot like Will Forte.
- Comment on Print refusing to stay flat in corners 4 months ago:
From my relatively lesser experience I can suggest a couple of easy things to cross off your list.
- look at first layer thickness, not sure how thick you’re going but thicker material is more likely to stick and stay put.
- reduce cooling (eg fan speed) in the first couple layers to promote adhesion
- as others have said, clean your print bed, I’m a fan of isopropyl.
- increase bed temp by 5°C
- slow your first layer(s) further.
I am certainly no expert- these would be my first ports of call before I start praying to the google-fu gods.
