Were getting one soon as well and adding an electric boiler to work with our solar panels.
Water is only €1.13/1000L here so showering costs about 1 cent a minute water wise.

Water isn’t that expensive right? Heating the water is what makes it expensive.

Wouldn’t say it’s that iterative since most characters play differently from their past versions.
But honestly, I wouldn’t mind less characters in the next game, melee is old as fuck and the meta is still changing with the few characters it has.

Fresh produce has it here in there Netherlands as well. Or our supermarket has for the last few years, a letter specifies the day of the week (Monday = A) and then the week number.
Week number we printed on the sticker machines and stuck on the start of every isle just to make it easier.

You click a checkbox in Rufus and install it anyways. Debloated win 10 Vs win 11 made no difference on a Core2Duo system in my experience.

Which then gave us orcaslicer (fork of bambu) which has been a godsent for having my mainsail UI in the slicer itself.

Bruh, just turn your phone or ctrl + alt + arrow on windows. For Linux idk if there is a common shortcut someone can fill me in there.

I filed a right to erasure request as well. Never got a response/nothing happened, but currently not in the position to take them to court over it.

There were some scripts for it. But i can still find my comments and posts trough Google after deleting them.
Dont think reddit will let you take “their” (your) content away.
- Comment on I like big beds and I cannot lie, pt 2. Any hints to improve ASA adhesion? 4 months ago:
ASA and ABS definitely do better at elevated chamber temps. What temp is enough I can’t say but I still saw improvements when going from 50 to 70c. Higher temps also let you use more fan speed without the added risk of warping so you’ll probably see better overhangs even though the temps are higher.
Id start with adding some chamber temp sensors first so you can measure what difference you are making with the other mods.
Using 4 mm abs panels I saw about a 15c improvement by just throwing a fleece blanket over the printer, so that might be an easy fix if you don’t print large parts frequently. Although higher temps are also great for layer adhesion on smaller parts.
- Comment on I like big beds and I cannot lie, pt 2. Any hints to improve ASA adhesion? 4 months ago:
Yeah ridga or vzhextrudort style gears definitely help greatly. You could do a mihai style test to see if the artifacts on the i3 are mostly extruder related or from the XY motors.
Tuning drivers consistently for quality is going to require an oscilloscope, although there are some experiments with attaching an accelerator to the motor while doing a frequency sweep.
Of course you could just change settings and see if there is a visual difference, but there are too many settings and combinations to make that realistic.
- Comment on I like big beds and I cannot lie, pt 2. Any hints to improve ASA adhesion? 4 months ago:
What chamber temp are you using for such a large part? I’d recommend at least 70+C but that might be hard to reach with acrylic panels.
Your bed will also warp due to the heat since its rigidly mounted.
- Comment on I like big beds and I cannot lie, pt 2. Any hints to improve ASA adhesion? 4 months ago:
Surface quality is also driver (+ driver settings) and motor related, and even the combination of them.

Thats just the whole second hand market strategy. First bid is always close to 70% of the asking price, so you make sure that 70% is actually what you want for it.

Once you get good at it you can enjoy both at the same time as well. Thats the only downside of snowboarding for me, admiring the view is hard when you’re balancing on one edge or getting a cold ass.
- Comment on Are cheap 3D Printing nozzles worth it? - let's look inside. (via LostInTech) 5 months ago:
Only downside is abysmal flowrates with hardened steel unless you’re using a hardened cht. Even the clone hardened steel chts are fine since its actually only the tip of the nozzle that wears fast.
- Comment on Stuttering when printing PETG 5 months ago:
Thinking about this again, could it be you have something like “wait for layer time” on and a very high minimum layer time set for your petg profile?
- Comment on Stuttering when printing PETG 5 months ago:
If its stopping 10 to 20 seconds there’s definitely something in the gcode making the printer hang. I’d try slicing the file again with a different slicer to be sure.
- Comment on Stuttering when printing PETG 5 months ago:
What printer do you have? youtu.be/Hvw3DrVAeTA?si=Pfy8z7OdlsybvbMN It could be this issue but that wouldn’t be material dependent but might show up more with petg since it’s more runny than pla.

Can only speak for the higher ranks of both games but cs2 is currently unplayable above 25k elo since its almost guaranteed to have 1 out of 10 players cheating. While i only encounter a few cheaters each season in immortal in Valorant.
- Comment on Why do we still use stepper motors? 5 months ago:
There will always be limits to how fast you can go. But as long as the average printer is not even close to whats doable there is room for improvement.
- Comment on do you think it's worth to update an old CR-10s? 5 months ago:
Don’t go for the TL smoothers but get new drivers instead. A btt Pico or skr mini would probably be enough for your needs. Instead of a magnetic pad + plate you could use g10 fr4 fiberglass which is cheaper but both work great.
For a probe see if there’s a quickdraw or klicky mod available since it’s cheaper and more reliable than a bltouch (clone).
But you should definitely have quite a capable printer with just a few small additions.
- Comment on Why do we still use stepper motors? 5 months ago:
You will not get a better system when using servos no matter the price point at the moment. People have tried and failed just because the software support isn’t there yet for 3d printing.
The biggest issue I’m aware of is matching the timing between the extruder stepper and the servos that do the XY motion.
Which isn’t apparent at lower speeds but at higher speeds you can notice they’re no longer in sync which leads to all sorts of issues and artifacts.
I’m currently waiting on some 3 phase steppers and drivers to test to hopefully get something with less speed deviation than a normal 2 phase stepper and more reverse torque but don’t cost too much and are still easily driven by connecting a driver to your boards step/dir output.

This is as fast as I’ve seen for PLA while still retaining good quality. And he probably could go faster with more powerful motors or more of them.
- Comment on One month ago, I didn't really know what 3D printing was. Yesterday, I designed in FreeCAD my first model and printed it. What an amazing experience. 5 months ago:
Onshape is indeed quite easy to get the hang of. Only downside is that it doesn’t work that well with a shitty internet connection. So trying to finish a model between classes was definitely easier when I was still using f360.
- Comment on Newbie questions 5 months ago:
Don’t need to measure, just increase the size by .1 when the extruded lines aren’t flattened out by the nozzle anymore. It’s not a foolproof strategy but might save you from wearing out multiple nozzles instead of 1
- Comment on Newbie questions 5 months ago:
Even if you do wear out your nozzle slightly it probably still works perfectly fine if you change nozzle size/line width in the slicer. I printed a bunch of cf-asa on a brass nozzle since my hardened steel one hadn’t arrived yet. Started out as a .4 but became a .8 nozzle after about 500 grams of printing.
