RCS was a dumpster fire for years. Only in the past couple of years has Google stepped up to be the centralized force in making it work as envisioned.

Indeed, the article was written with Backblaze B2 as the S3-compatible storage used.

- Comment on Common printing questions 4 months ago:
Having a 3d printer is super convenient for any home or shop repairs I need to make. I have so many curtain spacers and custom hooks all over the place now. The key is to get some hours in Fusion or some other good CAD software so you can whip up custom parts in minutes. You may get it wrong the first few times, but a couple minutes of tweaks and then you have a new part printing while you go back to working on other stuff.
The Swedish Maker just put out a video about how transformative 3d printing has been for his workflow. youtu.be/p2bClWmKHRM

Not a lawyer, but there are lots of intricacies to this. You can own a trademark without having it be a registered trademark. Registration is expensive and then you are expected to actively defend use of your trademark. Be prepared to pay lawyers to send cease-and-desist letters to parties using your trademark for financial profit. Not to mention you have to be/become a business engaging in interstate commerce using this trademark.

dedsec doesn’t appear to be a trademark in the US at this time.
- Comment on After printing ABS almost exclusively for about a decade, I'm rediscovering PLA and its fancy variants 6 months ago:
I buy samples from Atomic Filament when I don’t know which filament would work best for a project. They are 50g spools for under $4 each. It is usually enough filament to print out a filament sample card and a small test piece.
- Comment on Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore 6 months ago:
Modular ports would be great. I’d love to have two USB ports on a phone rather than a USB and headphone jack.
- Comment on [Troubleshooting] Cannot fix a clogging issue. 6 months ago:
Use an x-acto knife or a $5 PTFE cutter for best results.
- Comment on Who all is out there, setting different sensitivities for X and Y on their mouse settings? Does anybody actually do this? 6 months ago:
Since you mentioned joysticks, Joystick Gremlin is a great piece of software if you want to take the customization up a notch and have full sensitivity curves for your joysticks. You can even have modes dedicated to landing vs normal flight at different sensitivity levels.

- Comment on Finally got a UPS 7 months ago:
no clue, mine doesn’t seem to vibrate. just one of the things that popped up when I searched for why they used to warn against it. was hoping to get a “back in my day” comment explaining why.
- Comment on Finally got a UPS 7 months ago:
Great setup! I’ve heard that it is best practice to keep a little distance between servers/drives and the UPS just to be safe from vibrations or EMI. Does anyone know if this is still something to worry about?

- Comment on Trying to add text to the bottom of prints and the quality is inconsistent 8 months ago:
Your first layer seems inconsistent. What z sensor are you using? Were these printed in quick succession or did the printer have time to cool?
My thinking is this could be due to thermal drift in your homing sensor. First print will be solid, then subsequent prints will have a warmed up sensor resulting in a different z offset. Try minimizing variables by making your preheating consistent. Or just baby step the z-axis during the print start.

Do you have any pictures of the broken part?

- Comment on Finished my DIY keyboard with printed case, feet, and RPi Pico "caddy". Keycaps are not 3d printed, but the labels were DIY from my laser. 8 months ago:
Keyboard looks great! Did you laser the keycaps directly on the keyboard or in some sort of holder?
- Comment on Any tip for printing TPU? 8 months ago:
Great tip! I spent a long time chasing issues with TPU only to realize the spool to extruder section was the culprit. Bypassed the runout sensor and put the spool on bearings to fix the issue.
- Comment on I like big beds and I cannot lie, pt 2. Any hints to improve ASA adhesion? 8 months ago:
The heat lamp did help for the couple parts I was having issues with. I now mostly use a mini trident for most of my ABS printing. The heat lamp only comes out when I need to do a large print on the Voron2.
There was a Nero3D (Canuck Creator) video a while back where he said acrylic is better at insulating than ACM so I went from ACM to acrylic. Plus the smoked translucent acrylic looks better. I bought the ACM from PrintedSolid originally and have since reused it for other projects.
- Comment on I like big beds and I cannot lie, pt 2. Any hints to improve ASA adhesion? 8 months ago:
I have the nevermore under my Voron2 300 and it still struggles with prints like you posted. Switching from ACM to Plexiglass panels helped improved insulation somewhat. The hack that I use in a pinch for big prints is a terrarium heat lamp with temp control hanging from the top of the printer.
- Comment on I like big beds and I cannot lie, pt 2. Any hints to improve ASA adhesion? 8 months ago:
Chamber temps need to be higher for such a long skinny print because it will contract significantly lengthwise. The fun part is that if you get better bed adhesion without higher chamber temps then it could bend the whole bed sheet into a taco temporarily. Try setting your bed at 110C for an hour before printing with the part fan blowing on the center of the bed to help circulate the air.

Goofy would probably drop the gun and make an impossible ricochet shot in the process.
- Comment on Anyone wanna help me do an autopsy? 9 months ago:
Do you happen to know what your chamber temperature was? Ideally, you want to be at 60C to minimize stress cracks like that. ABS shrinks as it cools and will rip itself apart depending on the geometry of the part. My large printer needed a fan blowing on the bed to get reliable ABS prints. Well worth it though because ABS is a joy to post-process.
For bed adhesion, I use a small amount of Nano Polymer Adhesive on textured PEI for my ABS prints.
- Comment on Best Filesystem for NAS? 9 months ago:
MergerFS + Snapraid is a really nice way to turn ext4 mounts into a single entry point NAS. OpenMediaVault has some plugins for setting this up. Performance maxes out the drives and you can use cheap mismatched drives.
- Comment on My old MacBook charger kept falling whenever I moved, so I designed this 9 months ago:
Lying down would be hard to print due to the hollow cavity where the charger goes. You could split it into two separate sections and then glue it together. Easier solution is to model or drill a 2mm hole through the part and glue a piece of filament in place to give it some strength.
