- Comment on You have to be married to have a mother-in-law or father-in-law but you don't have to be married to have a brother-in-law or sister-in-law 3 hours ago:
I’m not married and I never was. And on paper I still have in-laws.
I met this girl around 2008 and we became friends with benefits. Suddenly 17 years later we have mortgage, kids, pets, and everything else together. Some might go as far as saying that it’s starting to get serious between us.
Anyway, due to having had shared address and offspring were legally considered married for all practical purposes.

True. I’ve also heard people using the kitchen oven to dry filament spools. It’s better than nothing, as long as the spool doesn’t get too hot.

99% of what I print is PETG. I mostly do functional parts and appreciate the improved temp tolerance, UV resistance, and lower brittleness compared to PLA.
It’s only slightly harder to print than PLA, but it’s still pretty easy. It’s what I started with upon getting back into printing, and the main challenges are the importance of getting the flow factor (extrusion multiplier) dialed in correctly, and getting proper bed adhesion (a clean textured build sheet FTW). Be sure to use a rubber sock on your nozzle - PETG is really sticky.

I mostly use Blender. Sometimes I use FreeCAD instead.
- Comment on Think Big, Print Bigger: Introducing the Prusa CORE One L! - Original Prusa 3D Printers 1 week ago:
If that quality is alright, I recommend starting with 0.4mm nozzle, as it is a good balance between speed and detail (and I believe that it’s by far the most common diameter too).
And if you need more detail you can replace the nozzle with a smaller one later - It’s a pretty easy operation.
I don’t remember what your original question was, but I can recommend the Core One as a pretty good beginner friendly printer. It’s pretty Open in that you can use any slicer you want, (I use PrusaSlicer… it does what I need) and Prusa isn’t taking the walled garden approach that Bamboo is currently going for.
I highly recommend getting the kit over the already assembled one because:
- It teaches you how everything fits together, making maintenance easier.
- It’s fun. The assembly instructions are really good.
- Comment on Think Big, Print Bigger: Introducing the Prusa CORE One L! - Original Prusa 3D Printers 1 week ago:
I’m effectively a newcomer*, and I have a Core One (not the L variant), and printing is a breeze. Automatic bed leveling is wonderful.
*: I dabbled in printing around 2012, when 3D printing was in its infancy. Printing had come a long way since, so what I learned back then isn’t really relevant today. I got back into printing when I bought a Core One a couple of months ago, and my printer has been running almost 24/7 since.

From the announcement:
First, the CORE One L is fully ready for the MMU3, our fast and efficient solution for printing with up to five filaments at once. The MMU3 for the CORE One L will be available in early 2026.

Ah, reminds me of Little Big Adventure. The gameplay emphasizes choosing the correct movement mode. I don’t remember them all, but one of them was “discreet” which was basically tiptoe-mode.

- Comment on Would one run faster without arms? 1 week ago:
While I do enjoy Windows (And TIL that Bill Baley is good at running backwards… I hadn’t seen that episode), I take some of their facts with a grain of salt, as it’s primarily an entertainment show. They do tend to oversimplify and miss some nuance from time to time.

Burnt in dedicated incinerators. Some hospitals have these as a means of disposing of tissue after surgeries.
- Comment on Would one run faster without arms? 1 week ago:
Doubt it. Arms are used for counterbalancing the legs while running, and without arms you won’t be able to use your legs as vigorously. Otherwise the torque would cause you to turn around.

It is. But everyone needs a dedicated PH2. With torx, a bit set is the better approach.

- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 1 week ago:
Just a couple of notes: Your material of choice isn’t a final one. Most printers can print most “normal” filaments, such as PLA, ABS, PETG, ASA, etc, and if you start with one, moving to another isn’t a big deal. The only caveats here are:
- Some materials are harder to print than others. PLA is generally considered the easiest, and personally I find PETG pretty easy too. ABS is a really durable material, but can be a PITA to print.
- Some matererials are considered abrasive, so you’ll need a hardened nozzle.
- Some materials, such as ASA and ABS, cause toxic fumes during printing. Proper ventilation is important for those.
For outdoor use, the main factors are temperature tolerance and UV resistance. I’d advise against PLA for outdoor use. PETG is slightly better in these regards, and I am currently testing how well PETG handles a Scandinavian outdoor climate, and things look promising.

I used to know a guy who built a garage printer back in the repeal days. His plan was to print ABS garden furniture.
- Comment on Designed & printed a bracket to mount wheels on my hammock! 1 week ago:
I was about to ask whether you were one of those to set up a printing-gantry in the garage for that extra print volume until I realized you were only talking about the wheels.
Is that PLA, or something else?
Have you done any stress testing to see how much load the can handle?

- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 1 week ago:
Just some thoughts:
- Printing has come a long way since I was where you are now. Today I’d say most fused deposition modeling printers are multi-purpose. The most common filaments, PLA and PETG are pretty multi-purpose too. Personally I mostly use PETG due to its increased temp and UV resistance.
- Bambu seem to be trying to set up a walled garden. Prusa is doing the opposite for what I think are ideological reasons. Some claim that their printers are a but overpriced, but I’d claim it’s worth it. My toolchain is usually Blender - > Prusaslicer -> Printer, but there’s nothing stopping me from changing out one of those.
- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 1 week ago:
Can confirm. I had some of the higher ups explain this exact thing to me once when I needed to drive somewhere, and it made sense from all angles to use my own (Otherwise I’d have to first drive two hours in the wrong direction to pick up the rental)
We ended up with a policy change that allowed for private cars being used with the explicit go-ahead from the line manager.
