Wrong way to adjust, try printing at 265 and keep the part fan on ( aux fan off).

That the default petg profile? Bump up your temperature by 10C and try again. Their PETG profile is too cold for the flow rate.
- Comment on cannot get an even first layer with a voron trident 1 day ago:
0.2mm flatness is very flat for a 3D Printer bed, I don’t even know if I achieved that with the Nylock mod on my old Prusa. This simply looks like a bed adhesion problem, clean your bed well with dish soap and water and then rinse well and make sure you don’t toch the surface. Check the first layer height and bed temp as well.
- Comment on Stepping up from Tinkercad but to what? 1 week ago:
Yeah I recently started switching from SolidWorks to Creo in a professional setting, it is amazing how slow and clunky SolidWorks feels in comparison. The downside is that Creo doesn’t hold your hand at all so you better know what you are doing.
Coming from that side, I have a hard time with the free/inexpensive options available for makers, they just don’t work nearly as well.
- Comment on My imaginary children aren’t using your streaming service – Terence Eden’s Blog 2 weeks ago:
This is pretty minor on the scale of enshittification that it happening in pretty much every tech product, but stuff like this is just an example of features being added so someone at the company can point to “improving” the product (so they can point to it during raise or promotion time), because it is safer for kids ignoring that it degrades user experience for a large portion of the customer base.
- Comment on Boarding passes and check-in could be scrapped in air travel shake-up 2 weeks ago:
This isn’t new though, I landed after a long flight last year and had a notification asking me to confirm rebooking to another flight because mine was delayed.
Turns out that no the flight wasn’t delayed and luckily I mentioned it when dropping my bag because a person had to sort it out for me and rebooked me back on my original flight that was on time. So now I don’t trust the technology at all.
- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 2 weeks ago:
Nope, I’ve long worked in designing for North American electronics manufacturing, it’s still manual. We just outsource as many of those sub assemblies as possible to cheaper countries and design things with as few fasteners as possible.
That really is the least of the worries, there just isn’t the manufacturing infrastructure for all the raw material and individual parts, manufacturing those parts just isn’t feasible to do at a reasonable cost or schedule outside of Asia. China is still popular not due to cost, they are no longer cheapest, but because they have the infrastructure in place.
- Comment on Gmail Is Now Using AI to Sort 'More Relevant' Results, But You Can Turn It Off 5 weeks ago:
I don’t see how this could be worse than the current Gmail search. I have to use the sync tool to Outlook for my work email because outlook’s search is so much better.

Vivaldi if you really need a Chromium based browser.
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 5 weeks ago:
Much business oriented software just hasn’t had the work done on it to work on Wine. Really the only reason I have to run Windows now is the 3D CAD software I use and my best option at this point is running it in a Windows VM on my server. And no Freecad and Fusion360 aren’t suitable options, they both suck.
- Comment on Y Combinator Supports AI Startup Dehumanizing Factory Workers 1 month ago:
Time and motion studies can be incredibly effective. My company once wanted to automate some processes and sent me down there to watch the workers and identify the processes we could automate. Talking with the workers and filming a few of them gave me all the information to save well over $1M per year just by making the current process more efficient. Literally cost some people’s time to do the analysis, change some documentation and validate the improvements. Even the workers were happy because they had less waiting around for things to happen and were part of the process.
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 2 months ago:
Obsidian files are just Markdown, so there is plenty of software out there today that can parse them. The only thing you might miss is plugins that don’t exist outisd of obsidian.
- Comment on Why your headphone batteries don't last as long as new ones. 2 months ago:
Yup, this degradation is all well understood. The only value I see is studying how a large portion of people use their devices to identify what the expected life actually is with the abuse they put their devices through.

No problems synchronizing with LAN only mode in Orca Slicer for me.

Dunno, I just log into the website.
- Comment on Any phone alternatives for the Bambu Handy app? 2 months ago:
Yup, you just need somewhere in your local network to install it. I’ve been using it on my P1S since I changed it to LAN only mode a couple weeks ago.

- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 5 months ago:
Yes it is a subscription to access the servers. But you also get a ton of access to other content forever (all the past campaigns and TOTD tracks released) so the value is still pretty damn good. Considering I’ve got 2000 hours in the game since release and it has in total cost me about the same as a normal game I’m not going to complain about it being a subscription.
- Comment on What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? 5 months ago:
Trackmania 2020. Great example of a game that is simple in concept but super deep in skills that you can both play super casually at your own pace or super competitively. Plus there is a great community and endless content to play.

Looking forward to see the 3D prints made to fix this “feature”.

Im picturing them sending “cash” with the amount written in comic sans.

Hi-Rez and shutting down games, name me a more iconic pairing.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 6 months ago:
As much as I think the cybertruck is a stupid vehicle and agree that teslas are built like shit, from what I understand this isn’t an atypical amount of recalls for a new vehicle platform.
Without even paying much attention the two I know of, the gas pedal and the singer slicer are unacceptable.
- Comment on The humble Anet A8 isn't actually that bad if you just take some insipiration from the Ship of Theseus 6 months ago:
Nah, 3D printing as a hobby actually involves printing things. What you are describing is 3D Printers being the hobby. That is fine too, but too many people can’t seem to make the distinction that they never actually make anything.
