• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3D Print ABS Without A Screaming Hot Bed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No one answered so I will:

  Have an enclosed printer! You won’t be able to print anything larger than a couple of cm otherwise. Also make sure to not have air gaps, any cold air getting in can potentially lift up a corner.

  You need a good first layer, even more so than with PLA. Have it squish a little more so that it sticks to the build plate like crazy.

  Preheat your chamber passively with the bed. With my enclosed Ender 3 I did 10 minutes before large prints.

  High bed temps: you might get away with 90°C at the lowest but 100°C is recommended.

  When a print starts to lift off the build plate there’s no fixing it. Either you’re fine with the warp (and some squished layers/deformation) or you have to restart the print. No way to sugar-coat this.

  Turn down part cooling as much as your overhangs allow, though with a hot enough chamber you might get away with “a lot” of cooling.

  Print with brim or adhesion tabs! Mind the geometry of your part: models with tall walls will tend to warp more.

  Tl;dr: printing ABS can be cruel, but it rewards you with strong, light parts that stay in shape even at high ambient temps like a car interior.

  If you buy a Voron you need to be aware that everything the printer does it does because of YOU!

  Any problems that arise will be due to misconfiguration, bad assembly, no proper tuning… But when you get it to print amazing results that is YOUR accomplishment.

  Yeah, I absolutely agree!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bambu Lab’s Controversial ‘Authorization Control’ Hits Budget 3D Printers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing that one has to give Bambulab credit for is making 3D printing accessible to people who don’t want to or don’t have the skills to tinker with their printer.

  I know this is a joke… But just in case:

  You know that you can turn off automatic updates, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For now, most of the ad bullshit can be turned off. Though it turned back on after the latest software update and forced me to spend another 10 minutes digging through the horrendous settings menu.

  Cam gears are on the outside of the engine though. No danger of all of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What you think of is district heating, it (usually) just uses warm/hot water instead of steam.

  Why limit yourself to the penguins?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They probably had a non-induction electric stovetop before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a mysterious force secretly changed EVERY clock worldwide one minute forward, how long would it take until people notice, and how would people/governments react?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of those problems would solve itself though. Things would just happen a minute too early, which might cause chaos for an hour or so, but overall nothing too serious. But IT people all over the world would try to find out how that mysterious gap in their logs and data happened for weeks afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MSAART Thunderstorm Generator, converting CO2 - Alpha prospects introduction⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Converting, on a chemical level, always means either combining or breaking apart atoms into or from molecules. To get O2 from CO2 you need to break off the Carbon atom. It will be left over. Where does it go?

  I was a windows user until last year. Work has me migrated to Mac and at home I just can’t be arsed with Microsoft anymore. I won’t ever install Win11 and with Proton I probably won’t have to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yo, Duplo, what you doing on the 24th?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lego’s competition has been improving their quality in the last few years, to a point where I’d argue some are on par or better (Cobi, Mould King, Xingbao).

  At the same time Lego has started to produce in China like almost any other competitor and their quality has lapsed somewhat. Especially color accuracy has allegedly been shite, even in some VERY expensive sets.

  Lego just isn’t worth an almost 100% premium, imo. If you’re in Europe check out Bluebrixx and Cobi. One makes licensed Star Trek sets, the other licensed cars like Škoda, Opel, Fiat, and others.
