I volunteer. For science. Yeah uh… science.

lol I’ve understood the issue. The original post is not exactly nuanced.

Who is downvoting a post based on what’s not in the post title or body? Besides, there are for more downvotes now than when I made my original comment, so it’s clearly not people being fooled by previous, now removed comments.

Also, O said or. It’s Either they’re against a community of answering questions openly, or have the reading comprehension of a potato…

Eh… IMO there’s a big difference between disagreeing about something reasonable, and disagreeing about the most basic tenets of what makes a community a community.

Kinda’ just making room for the sort of hypocritical ilk that ruin so many things. I can think of so many political and religious examples these days but I’ll refrain from fully describing such depressing things.

Who’s downvoting this?? Ban those moronic leeches. They’re either anti-community or have the reading comprehension of a potato, ffs.

Both.

Yes.

In addition to what others have said, this is definitely a failure of temperature control. Only some filaments will do more than turn liquid at temperatures that your print head should be seeing. (eg: PLA with hours of heat exposure)

If you never clean your print head (I always wire brush a nozzle before each print), it could just be buildup. Otherwise, I would take some time to check on what your printer thinks of a given temperature.

I’ve had to replace thermistors twice in the last 12+ years on my oldest printer (TAZ 6). Usually, it fails by being too cold and clogging. Though it has several times gotten too hot and produced similar results when it was going out or otherwise not thermally coupled well enough to the heating block. Rarely, it can be a connection issue between the controller and the thermistor.

Don’t be shocked if you have a few things to check and lock down before you solve the problem.

Yes. I also said there was plenty of silly things.

Two things can be true at once. Especially when there are far more episodes of previous Trek, and not only TOS.

Cartoons don’t set lower expectations. They naturally come with a different set of expectations that happens to have more leeway with writing. Especially in comedies vs overproduced “serious” shows.

Fully agreed there! They also do mature topics better than many humor focused cartoons. At least more regularly.

He would be far more correct in the general sense if it were only bigots and idiots complaining that were never going to be fans of a more intellectual show.

New Trek has had lots of criticism from actual, existing Trek fans that want to see the IP flourish into another 100+ episode series. Of course the usual bigots and propagandists also hated on it, but they were always going to! To thusly pretend there are zero honest fans who didn’t like Discovery or Picard, etc, is to completely ignore valid critique.

Star Trek might be different for everyone, but there are many core throughlines that were heavily changed for New Trek. That doesn’t inherently make New Trek bad by itself, but it also means the old fans aren’t just whining to whine.

Maybe they actually have some good points when they’re comparing things that are getting dropped one after the other, not even approaching episode counts that the original hit with three seasons, when the rest of the older series all have significantly more than that.

Yes, they all had silly episodes, so why did these older things with plenty of sillyness garner so many fans? It’s foolish to pretend it’s all bigots and idiots simply saying, “it’s different!”.

The ones who aren’t being dishonest pieces of shit feeding into divisivism are usually complaining about the lack of quality of the writing and/or the overt nature of ‘leftist’ messaging, meaning anything remotely progressive like gay people existing or touchy-feely things coming from guys in a manner where those things are not directly relevant to the plot.

Often times there is some credibility to the complaints of the quality of writing, it’s just the ‘woke’ thing that triggered them to think about why the thing on screen is happening. Instead of noticing that it’s a general ham-fisted nature to the writing (which Trek basically always has in quite a few episodes of all series), they stupidly blame ‘woke’.

That is the power of the brainwashing coming from the dishonest propagandists like Ben Shapiro and their ilk: Legitimate shortcomings become things caused by “the other”, instead of basic variability of quality.

IMO, the bigger problem with Trek is Hollywood dumbasses like Kurtzman like pushing messaging more than writing good stories to challenge the alternate POV, which plays right into the shitty propagandists’ hands.

There are plenty of old episodes that would embarass modern Trek with being progressive since they didn’t make it an overt declaration (tell the audience), but showed why the bigoted view was bad. Whereas new Trek loves to just… declare the progressive view as good, and then go on to Main Character the problem away: Poor writing even when you agree with the message.

Sure, there are also quite a few hamfisted episodes of old Trek, but I’d much rather take 24 episode seasons smattered with ham than 10 episodes with an overarching story that loves to simply declare itself superior. It’s so much easier to ignore the poorly written episodes in old Trek when there is so much to take in, especially when there are some gems to find.

IMO, the overproduction is also hurting a lot of newer IPs even beyond being a huge cost. It’s so much easier to gloss over a 6/10 in writing which is inevitable no matter the message, when the visuals and the rest aren’t a 10/10 in every scene. I think it’s one reason why Lower Decks gets so much love. It’s “just a cartoon”, so when the writing nails a mature topic, it feels like a proper treat.
