The part that really upsets me is that, when I say “I don’t like PEI, what are other, non-PEI build surfaces?” People respond with walls of text about how to print on PEI which isn’t the god damn mother fucking question I asked.

It is my understanding that sh.itjust.works is hosted on hardware that is in The_Dude’s physical possession, so I think we could manage.

ABS is a well-known bastard plastic. I avoid it when I can. I print in PLA or PETG almost entirely.
Printing on glass with glue stick, I could soak the build plate in engine oil, wash it with Gojo, rinse it with tap water, dry it with the T-shirt I’ve been wearing all day, smear it with glue stick and anything an E3Dv6 will melt will stick to it.
Meanwhile y’all are out here cautioning against drying PEI with anything that has ever been in my washing machine because it might transfer trace amounts of fabric softener to the plate and I don’t have time for that mickey mouse bullshit. I ordered a power tool not a clean room experiment.

So to that wall of text, I’ll say:
I’ve been 3D printing on glass with glue stick for a decade. The procedure for cleaning the glass has been rinse in the sink with water, wipe dry on shirt, put on printer. You can touch it with your hands, it can exist in Earth’s atmosphere…
PEI plates can’t. One fingerprint and it’s destroyed forever unless you clean it in a way the manufacturer says will destroy it forever. PEI is stupid.

Well, if it’s destroyed it’s destroyed. It wasn’t working worth a damn so if I’ve killed it, who cares?

You remember a few years ago when some random town in North Carolina made the national news because some Proud Boys shot out the substation because there was a drag show at a local downtown theater?
I’m from there.
What I learned in those four days without refrigeration or air conditioning is that substations aren’t bulletproof.

What is real? How do you define real?
I mean, I haven’t had the torque wrench calibrated a split second before the wrench was applied to the faucet handle by state and federal members of the Department of Weights And Measures, but the print bed is hot to the touch when it’s finished printing, yet it doesn’t burn my skin like the one time in A&P school when I set my welding filler rod down over my pliers, then reached to pick up my pliers, burned my thumb on the welding rod and smelled it before feeling it because at the temperature steel melts your nerves die faster than they transmit pain signals…I strongly hypothesize my bed heater is functioning correctly.

I always heard that quote attributed to Joseph Stalin, re the T-34 vs the German Panzer. I’m not one of the two worst men in history, so a pissing match between the worst man in history and the second worst man in history does not impress me, a better human than both. My name isn’t in a single social studies textbook printed anywhere on earth. Get on my level, noobs.

So we should just straight-up vandalize them? As much property damage as possible, forget the shotguns, bring bulldozers, gasoline and road flares?

Kitchen sink washed and rinsed. Water run as hot as I can get it this time of year. Drain plug installed, textured sheet washed with a fresh green Scotchbrite pad under hot water and Dawn dish soap. Each side scoured in horizontal strokes, vertical strokes, diagonal top-left to bottom-right strokes, diagonal top-right to bottom-left strokes, in counter-clockwidse circles in horizontal strokes, and clockwise circles in vertical strokes. Repeated 3 times each side. Dried with laundered microfiber cloth. Placed on printer heat bed and heated to 60C for 5 minutes per side.
This makes the 4th, 5th and 6th time this sheet they tell you not to submerge in water has been washed in a sink full of soap and water.
Brand new spool of Printed Solid Jessie PETG filament loaded, corresponding filament preset selected in slicer. Tool caddy with assistant discs at sharp corners sliced, sent to printer, Z offset set at -0.025mm, 1 glencairn of small batch 90 proof straight bourbon poured…

That is not a stupid question. That is a valid question. I’m using Prusa’s provided templates in PrusaSlicer. This includes Prusament PETG with the Prusament PETG template. This is a stupid question: As many parts as Prusa makes printing Prusament PETG on Prusa printers with Prusa build sheets, wouldn’t that material template be well tested?

Glue stick on glass. Got it. I’ll go to Lowe’s first thing in the morning to get some cut to size.

I’ve printed PETG on glue stick on glass since Obama was president and until this week I would have told you PETG doesn’t peel the corners up like ABS does.

Per Prusa’s Knowledge Base I washed it with “warm water (not hot!) and a few drops of liquid dish soap (not hand soap).”
- Comment on Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all? 3 days ago:
I’ve seen instructions saying to, and not to, wash it with soap and water. I have washed it with Dawn dish soap and warm water, I’ve wiped it off with isopropyl alcohol, doesn’t fucking matter. Nothing sticks to it. When we’re done with Greenland, we need to do Czechia.

I find the smooth one works adequately for PLA. I don’t have a satin one, and I think I’d have better luck printing on an inch deep tank of cod liver oil than the textured sheet.
I’ll go back to printing on glass and glue stick before I start fucking around with hair spray.

PETG, PLA, ABS, I haven’t gotten anything to stick to it. It’s “powder coated” but it doesn’t say what powder. Is it teflon?
- Comment on Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all? 3 days ago:
So, to clarify, you’ve EVER gotten yours to work? EVERY SINGLE part I’ve printed on that sheet has partially or totally failed, and I’ve cleaned it repeatedly.
I’ve been printing on glass and glue stick since the Obama administration, and that actually works. You know what? Fuck magnetic sheets, I’m going back to glass and binder clips, because they actually goddamn motherfucking work. I’m sick of people unsolving problems.

I’ve barely ever used Discord, I’m not entirely sure I understand how it works, because individuals host their own servers? “Join my Discord server.” So, Discord as a business provides software and…user account brokerage? In terms of functionality, it does basically what an IM client/forum engine and Ventrilo did?
