For the dolphins (porpoises) of this conversation are we taking a cat as being more or less cunning, intelligent and conniving than a toddler?

Totally agree - I went through the same train of thought and went to reply, but realised I was late to the party. So… ditto!

- Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? 1 month ago:
Depending on your system I think, 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 2 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.

I feel like there should be one more line and a change:
He who knows, and knows he knows, is smart; beware him.
He who knows, and know he knows not, is wise; follow him

Do you have an app that does anything at a specific time or a fixed interval eg weekly? Eg. Remind you to go for a run, or prompts you to log an activity like timesheets?
Particularly any new apps or ones that need to access system time and/or date?

- Comment on MIT researchers crack 3D printing with glass — new technique enables inorganic composite glass printed at low temperatures 3 months ago:
I was thinking they may have a process like 3D metal sintering, using a laser to fuse powdered metal layers. In the very early days of that technology I saw a small polyhedra frame like a ball. The texture was very granulated and it felt like it would crumble if it you rubbed it between your fingers too roughly. But it was titanium and indeed a lot stronger than its appearance suggested.
This was (obviously) a very long time ago back when people Frankensteining their own printers from components and off the shelf options were few and far between and prohibitively expensive. When the early adopters were losing their minds on the daily trying to calibrate, level and troubleshoot all the gribbles and gremlins. It was quite a deterrent to entering the hobby. I couldn’t imagine then that the technology would accelerate so quickly, to the point where a first time user can unbox, assemble and be printing accurate and tidy prints in under an hour.
Seeing what is happening with metal and glass printing these days is still blowing my mind. I love that we’re living in a time where there is so much interesting and fun stuff to discover and so much of it is being shared instead of hoarded.
