Exactly. I don’t know the expected life span of 3m 468mp but apparently I exceeded it in my environment and duty cycle. I’m still working on getting the residue off of the bed however, and I can say that where it stuck, and did not fail, it did an excellent job, even pulling off bits of silicone with the glue.

I have had it since probably 2018? It was one of the original x5sa kits. Honestly it has been a good platform to learn off of

Custom. It started life as a tronxy x5sa-400 but I think only 2 steppers and the frame are original still. I changed the bed to a 16"^2^ *3/8 thick aluminum tool plate about 5 years ago. It always worked well for me. Unfortunately the silicone mat I used doesn’t seem to be made any more. I’m going to try one meant for a creality cr10 S4. I may have to re-machine the mounting holes for the thru holes on the mat tho.

Should be chick peas/garbanzo. It’s called aquafaba and can be used as a replacement for egg whites in various alcoholic beverages.
- Comment on 4chan has been down since Monday night after “pretty comprehensive own” 1 month ago:
It’s down because the source code was dumped and all the vulnerabilities were exposed. It’s incredibly old software that hasn’t been maintained and they ts doubtful there is anyone to fix it.
- Comment on How can I get the clogged filament out of this heatblock? 2 months ago:
I don’t know. I’ve use this method several times and I’ve never had a problem. I probably should have specified that I’m in the states so 450° f versus 200 or 210° c that your printer runs at isn’t a huge difference. Sure. You run the risk of some fumes, but your printer is already belting the plastic. In that temperature. You need to go a lot hotter than 400° in order to set it on fire. It’s a lot safer than using a blowtorch

put them on a sheet of aluminum foil and put them on a cookie tray in your oven. set the oven to 450 degrees and bake it for a half hour plus. everything should melt out of it. you could even suspend it with a rolled up piece of foil under it. depending on the wires your thermistor may suffer but the heating element should be fine. tho, your thermistor probably will be okay too as it looks like it has silicone covering the wire.

I really like the orbiter 2.5. it’s not as light as the nimble but it is still tiny. I like that it is open source and they really have thought to put a bunch of engineering in to the gear workings instead of just using clone bonditech gears. It cost, like, 48 USD to get from AliExpress and is definitely high quality.
Thh Hero Me mount seamed like a good choice as well. It was a huge pain in the a$$ to assemble tho, not that I am complaining. The way it mounts to the carriage means you can’t just assemble and mount (at least with my old tronxy carriage plate). The included adapter design that comes in the file package didn’t quite work correctly and I didn’t realize that until I was all disassembled. There is a magnet mount version that would probably have been a better option. I’ll probably print one to have as a spare if I ever need to disassemble the mount. Other then the mounting tho I really like the design and thought that went into it by mediaman.

- Comment on Google Pixel 4a’s ruinous “Battery Performance” update is a bewildering mess 4 months ago:
When I took my pixel 8 pro to ubreakifix they told me they don’t fix them there at all… They just send it to Google. Why would I ever go there if I could just send it to Google myself? It’s such a stupid place to have as an official warranty provider
