Thanks! I’ll at it when I get time. I really hadn’t heard of other sites besides thingiverse, and I am yet unaware of any nuances, issues or controversies about it.

Yeah, the 15w charging is only iPhone, and fast charging doesn’t seem to work – i think because of overheating mostly from my experience. This current setup the charger is closer to my phone than other setups, so I may try it, maybe it fast charging will work, but I don’t have my hopes up.
Hopefully with Qi2 these android users are natively included.

- Comment on Thanks for everyone's help -- I successfully made my first draft of my custom phone case! 11 months ago:
This is just a screenshot… Here’s the STL www.thingiverse.com/thing:6354529. I have 3M trasnfer tape that I’ll use to hold it only my phone, which is basically the same sort of stuff that holds my current Spigen phone case on my phone. I’m not sure I’d trust a plastic case on this phone without some sort of adhesive the way the phone is designed. This is essentially just have the case for the back of the folding phone. Hopefullly this prints well and actually works well as far as locking onto quadlock mounts and magsafe with charging working (I use magsafe charging and accessories currently with an adapater – I would expect this to work better since it’d be thinner than my current setup.

I love this. This would make it easier. I can use the exact same cone to “cut” the case. I’ll also be able to perfectly center the cone on the mag quad adapter (not sure if the stl has is 100% centered or not, but this way I can get it perfect.
I’ll play with this. Probably won’t have time for a few days, my days are busy. I tried using sphere deletion in blender yesterday, and it was a bit tough since it was my first time using any 3d design software.
I think this is probably the best suggestion for how to accomplish this, and I’ll be able to focus on doing it soon.

Thanks- I’ll check it out! I liked how simple TinkerCAD felt, and was hoping to use it, if I can, that’d be awesome
- Comment on Merging two objects (I'm a beginner) 11 months ago:
Something like that last image is exactly what I’m trying to do! I probably could have described it better.
I think it’s probably a bit more complex than I thought, and I’m not sure it’s doable it tinkerCAD (i couldn’t find any way to trim objects…perhaps i’m just missing it). I’m gonna play with windows 3d builder soon when I get a chance I think.
- Comment on Merging two objects (I'm a beginner) 11 months ago:
I’ll check it out. I liked tinkerCad when I used it, but it didn’t seem like there is a way to trim either object to do what I wanted, so I wasn’t sure if it’s the right tool. Maybe a little user error on my end, so I’ll look into it more

Thanks! This sounds a lot, but I wanna try making it. I like modifying things to suit my use, and this sounds like a fun learning endeavor. I’ll perhaps look at OpenSCAD. This sounds similar to some of the information I found on blender (making shapes to delete areas). I need to play with these tools to get more facile at doing this.
I don’t have a picture readily availble at the moment, but the stls are www.thingiverse.com/thing:4935721 for the phone case (I just wanna use the right side) and www.thingiverse.com/thing:5704716 for the holder. It’s a little more complex than just a magsafe holder, it has a quadlock mount integrated.
- Comment on Merging two objects (I'm a beginner) 11 months ago:
www.thingiverse.com/thing:4935721 (right cover stl) and www.thingiverse.com/thing:5704716 are the two files I’m trying to merge. I’m gonna try playing with windows 3d builder as someone suggested as well
- Comment on Merging two objects (I'm a beginner) 11 months ago:
Thanks, I’ll look at it!
- Comment on Merging two objects (I'm a beginner) 11 months ago:
I tried with tinkercad, and I struggled. I was again able to align the shapes directly on top of one another, but when it came to modifying the actual shape I could not figure it out- is there a tutorial on adding shapes together or anything, or even csrving stuff out? I looked and couldn’t find anything this specific. It seemed like a much easier tool to use, but I couldn’t figure out how to do what I wanted

Yes, those are the best fo sure

Nosebleeds can happen and certainly do for some. Nasal hydration helps (for instance, ayr gel in combination with saline spray or irrigations). Ultimately, a good portion of patients that don’t tolerate or fail nasal steroids get surgery.
Azelaetine is fantastic - there’s a lot of patients I prescribe it in conjunction with Flonase. Allergic rhinitis or even just excessive secretions is common in patients with inferior turbinate hypertroph/nasal obstruction, and both meds have a function. They sell it as a combination, actually, but often insurance doesn’t cover the combo.
- Comment on It's like everyday 11 months ago:
It would by a sympathetic response from catecholamines – that’s how it constricts; however, I didn’t know that it had been studied and was actually effective in real life until today.
- Comment on It's like everyday 11 months ago:
This applies to nasal decongestants (NOT nasal steroids). Nasal decongestants (such as oxymetazoline AKA afrin, or phenylephrine based medications) are vasoconstrictors. They work very well and work very quickly as the vasoconstriction (constricting the blood vessels) which shrinks the inferior turbinates (and any other edematous tissue).
The body responds to chronic vasoconstriction by making more blood vessels. When the nasal tissues have more blood vessels (and I presume are more dense with vessels) it’s harder for the decongestant to work — conversely, the patients in this scenario will feel they need to use more decongestant since it previously worked so well, but it no longer does. This cycle can be challenging to treat.
For this reason most ENTs, including myself, typically recommend against afrin use for more than 3 consecutive days. I’ve seen who go as long as five, but I’m cautious and would not recommend more than 3 days.
It’s a bit funny, because if you come into my clinic and get an endosocpic exam of the nose and/or throat (i.e. probably around 50%, often more, of my patients on any given day), I will spray afrin and lidocaine into the nose before my examination. The other main thing I use it for is nosebleeds. It’s okay to use it for 3 days during an acute exacerbation of sinusitis, but I don’t really think it’s necessary.
- Comment on It's like everyday 11 months ago:
It csn happen, but the way most ENTs train these days, unlikely. I’ve seen it twice that I recall off the top of my head, but very rare these days.
Most ENTs, including myself, are overly cautious. You’re at a higher risk for symptom recurrence because of under resection.
That being said, I wouldn’t let an oral surgeon or general plastic surgeon touch my family member’s nose (unless they had a very very good reputation). Nothing wrong with their work, I’m just not sure they had the same training and respect for the nose.
- Comment on It's like everyday 11 months ago:
True; I, and I’m sure most other physicians would not provide identifiable data in a public forum. If you are having issues with nasal obstruction, alternating or otherwise., best advice is to follow up with your pcm for treatment, possible referral.

The best shitposts are the ones that turn out to be real/useful.
- Comment on It's like everyday 11 months ago:
Yeah, inferior turbinate reduction is the next small step for this. Often if it’s just alternating nasal obstruction that’s good enough. Oftentimes there’s another component of nasal valve collapse or septal deviation. Personally, in my population, I end up doing septorhinoplasty (nose job) way more often than other smaller nasal surgery.
You don’t want them to actually remove the turbinates, however. We generally just shrink them down – removing them makes the nasal air less turbulent, and difficult to sense airflow. TL;DR it make look like you can drive a semi truck through the nose, but people will feel like they cannot breathe at all. People have killed themselves over this.
- Comment on It's like everyday 11 months ago:
Interestingly this may work, but I’m not sure anyone has studied it (perhaps I will do a lit search).
There’s erectile tissue in the inferior turbinates that is responsible for the nasal cycle… maybe after an emission it’s more flaccid?
Sadly I do not suffer from inferior turbinate hypertroohy/ alternating nasal obstruction to test this on myself.
- Comment on It's like everyday 11 months ago:
This is called the nasal cycle.
Use Flonase to help (need daily use for >= 4 weeks) If this doesn’t help enough, you should see an ENT.
Fun fact: the turbinates in the nose (which are responsible for the nasal cycle) have erectile tissue in them.
