- Comment on What's your favourite era for video games? 1 week ago:
LAN parties. I remember the first time I could connect two PC together. It was Doom, with a serial-to-serial cable. We were two players on the same fucking map. It was awesome!
Then coax cable networks with friends. We used to have two or three different networks during a LAN party since you could not disconnect the coax cable to add a player without stopping the current games. The players arrived later would plug a new network just for them, and launch a game waiting the first players to finish theirs.

Every time I see this contraption, I can’t stop to think about Gardena making propellers. Due to the chosen colors.
- Comment on It's a trap! 1 week ago:
Looks like someone tried:
Uranyl salts are toxic and can cause severe chronic kidney disease and acute tubular necrosis. Target organs include the kidneys, liver, lungs and brain. Uranyl ion accumulation in tissues including gonocytes produces congenital disorders, and in white blood cells causes immune system damage. Uranyl compounds are also neurotoxins. Uranyl ion contamination has been found on and around depleted uranium targets.
- Comment on Field Guide 1 week ago:
This is a full book and not just the cover for fun and giggles!
In The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America author Julian Montague has created an elaborate classification system of abandoned shopping carts, accompanied by photographic documentation of actual stray cart sightings. These sightings include bucolically littered locations such as the Niagara River Gorge (where many a cart has been pushed to its untimely death) and mundane settings that look suspiciously like a suburb near you.
Working in the naturalist’s tradition, the photographs depict the diversity of the phenomenon and carry a surprising emotional charge; readers inevitably begin to see these carts as human, at times poignant in their abandoned, decrepit state, hilariously incapacitated, or ingeniously co-opted. The result is at once rigorous and absurd, enabling the layperson to identify and classify their own cart spottings based on the situation in which they were found.

Is it still legal to have this in the USA?
It has been banned in Europe in 2018, but allowing to sell the stocks for 6 years). Now they use nuts shells powder, apricot kernal powder, or similar things. It’s not necessary to put platic in it. - Comment on tremendous 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know if he has really said that or not. It saus long about the man.
- Comment on It fits! 5 weeks ago:
Congratulations ! I usually make 4 or 5 iterations too for each piece, with my least favorite color (toilet paper pink that looked fuchsia on the website). I even launch a print and during the printing I correct my model based on the n-2 print.

- Comment on Advice on first 3D printer 2 months ago:
What matters :
- Auto calibration of Z-offset (multi-points). Your bed will warp with time and you don’t want to fight with it.
- PEI magnetic bed. You don’t want to fight with your things not sticking to the bed - or sticking too much. You may still have issues but less.
You will be happy with this as a cheap starter printer around 200$.
After some time, you may want to print bigger things, faster, and with ABS/ASA for technical parts. Then you could invest in a bigger printer, faster, hot and with an enclosure for ABS fumes and warping issues. The budget for this is 600-1000$.
- Comment on I like big beds and I cannot lie, pt 2. Any hints to improve ASA adhesion? 2 months ago:
Do you use glue or hairspray for ASA ? I could not manage warping without hairspray.
It looks like your corners separate from the border. I have this issue du to the new “smart” borders from Cura. It turns in the other direction for this to be easily removed… I have disabled this feature.
The last idea if everything fails : I had to change the geometry of the thing to prevent big long fat stripes like the bottom of your item. Making it an hexagonal grid may help to diffuse the forces. The shrinkage will be diffuse instead of along the stripe.
- Comment on Paris mayor faces pushback over plans for car-free Eiffel Tower zone 2 months ago:
The mayor of Paris since 2014 is Anne Hidalgo. She has removed cars from Paris since day one - ten years ago. A call for her destitution is now a meme (“Hidalgo démission”). Anyway, most of the residents like her.
- Comment on Advice wanted for a newbie on project 2 months ago:
There is no issue to print this. But…
If it’s handed, it’s quite big. It has to be printed into multiple parts. I would make the metal things and the glowing thing separately.
The glowing thing will look like shit if 3D printed. You better should get an acrylic rod. You need a bunch of blue leds too.
There are filaments that look metallic. Or you would get better results by sanding it and painting it with special paints.
The whole project could be expensive. (~100 to $150)

Your analysis seems right. The M104 should not wait. What printer do you have? Is the firmware up to date?
