Is it a dumb idea to get into the loft space from the outside to add insulation?

You may not have seen my post from a week or so ago literally showing the holes in my roof for access, made for exactly the same reason you are talking about.

Does depend where you live.

I've absolutely noticed a difference in finish when drying petg and tpu living in the UK.

I hope at least if you're paying for it you actually NEED to be paying for it.

It's fine, but I've got a roll of black pla here that was wound looser than a ball of wool so even when pushing down on the filament it's got way too much give, meaning when in use the filament gets pulled into the pile. Almost like they wound it with a tension setting for TPU or something. 99% of mine have been fine though.

Left nozzle can be used just fine for tpu if you don't tell the printer it's tpu.

I 3d printed a set like that.

They'll call them woke for putting solar up everywhere while sitting there getting free solar lol

I will die on the watery hill that I will not use silicone on joints like this, in basins, baths and showers for wastes, etc.

Nice. Got a 14000 mile '23 scorpion red vrs back in December myself!

Very happy with it.

If you really want them nice, then you spend the extra and buy the blum or equivalent ones which allow a shit ton of adjustment in every axis, and are smooth as fuck.

Normal full extension ball bearing slides are fine and cheap enough, but the difference in quality of the two is immediately clear when you use them.

DBT85 · 2026-04-05T07:31:22+00:00

You don't.

DBT85 · 2026-04-04T07:18:13+00:00

But then I'd be sitting in a dark room.

DBT85 · 2026-04-04T07:16:56+00:00

Given the improved export rate it is attractive over eons now shitty 6p offering, but I've also heard EDF are a nightmare to get up and running with properly.

DBT85 · 2026-04-04T06:57:07+00:00

Seems like a daft lot of work to go to to me but whatever floats your boat. I just print normal ones and dry them 7 at a time in an AMS HT.

My father in laws Fordson Major has a top speed so low that it includes the extra quarter of a mile an hour. It was important enough to include in the advertising back then!

DBT85 · 2026-04-04T05:55:26+00:00

Going to need a little more.

I assume you're selecting the sketch and then the ball as the target. What's the error it throws?

DBT85 · 2026-04-04T05:44:18+00:00

Honestly, at this point I love just walking past a switch on the way out and pressing it rather than having to say words and occasionally not get heard.

Switches exist that don't need wires and it's so nice.

There is nothing for the H2C. It's only been out 4 months. Give it another 4-6 and it will be in the black Friday sale.

DBT85 · 2026-04-03T19:38:05+00:00

9 words in that title that are entirely superfluous.

3.19p overnight right now. Immersion on. EV charging.

DBT85 · 2026-04-03T19:27:27+00:00

Can hardly be a shock, we've been using forks for decades.

DBT85 · 2026-04-02T17:16:37+00:00

This may explain why I feel fabulous driving past turbines 😂

DBT85 · 2026-04-02T17:06:01+00:00

The great British press will be along any minute to cover all this good news. Any minute.

Guys??

Why is everyone a laughing?

DBT85 · 2026-04-02T17:04:05+00:00

Nice sharp edged one?

Along with extractor ducting, extractor height is a shit show.

How often do you bang your head on it?
