I’ve only had one exposure with a multi-head printer, and it was incredibly messy. No matter what settings I used, there ended up being drips from the unused nozzle.

My most recent printer is an Anycubic Kobra Max 3, and I’d take the wasted filament over the sloppy prints any day. It’s a bed slinger, so maybe not what you had in mind, but they do make one with an enclosure.

Hey fellow dad, that’s a tough spot to be in. Especially tough for a toddler, because a month or two feels a lot longer to them than it does to us adults.

A few things you can try, though:

• Try to maintain regular routines and “rituals”, especially ones that you can replicate from home.
• Send messages (either digitally or through snail mail) to her friends and school. Include pictures of where you’re staying or other fun things you’re doing. If it’s appropriate, you could ask her friends’ parents or teachers to send messages back.
• Talk about the things you’ll do when you get back home. Encourage her to draw pictures of things that she misses and talk about them. It might seem counter-intuitive to focus on those things, but it’s better to talk about them to allow her to process all her emotions.
