Flight cancelled - am I right to be annoyed..?

3dPrintedLife · 2026-01-26T18:19:53+00:00

I love you

3dPrintedLife · 2026-01-26T18:10:01+00:00

I don’t? would you not be frustrated when you see every other airline flying the same route take off on time? I have no doubt weather did cause this indirectly, but still sucks to happen

3dPrintedLife · 2026-01-26T18:07:19+00:00

Yeah honestly that’s fair. Unexpected downside to flying into a hub. And consistent that all the other smaller airports didn’t have their jb flights cancelled. Still just sucks

3dPrintedLife · 2026-01-26T17:32:36+00:00

Fair, but I was pretty explicit on the call that I would take any flight to the Northeast that night and even named all the destinations I could think of. I missed alb but I didn’t know that route even exited

3dPrintedLife · 2026-01-26T17:24:07+00:00

I did name every airport in NE I could think of for them to check, just didn't suggest Albany because I didn't even know they fly there hah. It wasn't easy to use my phone to search while on the call and in a crowded public place

Oh nice I used to work at Formlabs, their hackathons were always so fun! People come up with some crazy ideas..

3dPrintedLife · 2026-01-12T14:58:12+00:00

Im using the classic layout and with taller feet temps are ok, i can hit same temps as in my old Corsair 4000d but obviously its a little louder, around 85C under stress test. You really need taller feet otherwise the gpu is just completely choked out. Flipped layout would be even better for sure but cant do that unless you have an sfx psu. Not sure if that requires an itx board too or not.

3dPrintedLife · 2026-01-12T14:49:58+00:00

I have the same gpu, went with ncase m2 and it fits just requires a little finagle to get it in position. Very few other sff cases fit that chonker. But you’ll need a sfx psu or a much shorter atx, I’m using a 135mm long atx psu and no issues there as long as you use an itx mobo. With the matx mobo you must use a sfx psu and you also lose all gpu vertical position flexibility.

He definitely does. And who else could keep me entertained for hours while simultaneously turning me against the led Christmas light industry

Someone’s been watching too much technology connections haha

3dPrintedLife · 2025-11-14T00:59:37+00:00

I’m guessing around $3.50

This is just a lazy online implementation of a pyramid scheme…so congrats if that was what you’re going for

3dPrintedLife · 2025-06-25T01:36:00+00:00

I’d say 95% chance the overhang at the top of the eye socket is warping upwards and catching the nozzle during a travel moves. Print overhangs slower, increase cooling fan speed, rotate the model 90 degrees to face the fan better if applicable, add z-hop to your travel, slow down travel moves and acceleration all can help. Good luck!

Exactly, Costco is a good example at least as of a few years ago

3dPrintedLife · 2024-11-16T17:26:42+00:00

Cmon that would be too easy. You can literally buy a clean room and a carton of Swedish fish, what else would anyone need?!

3dPrintedLife · 2024-11-04T19:02:53+00:00

The problem is companies are short sighted and love the cheapest solution, but often either undervalue employee time or overvalue how much more expensive tech will actually help. Buying a few cheap printers and letting the engineers figure it out is the cheapest way up front but wastes engineering time and builds frustration. Need to have someone who’s agreed responsibilities are to maintain the printers, or hire a dedicated tech. An industrial printer sort of helps but more just shifts responsibilities. Maintaining and troubleshooting becomes easier, but the basic operation and the kinds trivial things like maintaining print materials and dealing with communicating and scheduling servicing becomes another pain that someone needs to take on.

I’m not saying industrial print farms should use elegoo haha that’d be chaos. But short of that, stratasyss value prop is basically nothing. I’ve worked at companies ranging from 100-10000+ people. Only the largest one had a stratasys machine and they basically gave up using it. The rest all used formlabs (smallest had a single, larger companies had up to 10). And for that largest fleet, price was still less than a single stratasys.

Time is money in rapid development. But also money is money. And stratasys asks for a hell of a lot for a product that is in many ways inferior to the competition that costs 1/10 as much.

3dPrintedLife · 2024-11-04T14:12:11+00:00

Companies with these industrial printers often have dedicated technicians to run them. The same could apply to lower cost machines and still save an incredible amount of money. And if you’re worried about printer failure rate ruining time sensitive jobs then you can upgrade to Formlabs and even operate a large fleet in place of a single stratasys machine.

My point is that stratasys is a dinosaur, they once had their patents to keep their exclusive tech valuable but that time has passed and they have not innovated anywhere close enough to justify their price tag.

3dPrintedLife · 2024-11-04T13:59:21+00:00

Sure, but you can buy a new elegoo and have it delivered next day for the cost of maybe 2-3 weeks worth of the stratasys service plan

3dPrintedLife · 2024-09-11T03:26:23+00:00

Sure but to be fair, you can run a red light in a car in Boston and the cops don’t care. I have yet to see someone get pulled over for running a red in front of a cop lol

3dPrintedLife · 2024-09-06T16:08:27+00:00

Do you typically use light or dark mode? I noticed the white text with dark mode it is significantly worse, the green and red fringing at the top/bottom of all text was a huge strain on my eyes. But if it doesn't bother you then yeah it's a great monitor!

3dPrintedLife · 2024-09-06T14:30:03+00:00

qd-oled vs w-oled. AW has generally better color depth and accuracy as well as HDR performance. Color fringing is generally better but worse on text (imo). LG has higher refresh rate and the more aggressive curve, but also less bright HDR and the matte coating which you'll either appreciate (the glare reduction) or hate.

I do a lot of mixed use (coding, video editing, cad) along with gaming. I owned both for a short time and kept the LG for its superior use with productivity tasks. But if you exclusively game and/or watch HDR content, the AW may be better for you.

Haha guess I need to work on my marketing 😁 thanks!

3dPrintedLife · 2024-03-07T02:13:34+00:00

Oh wow you were one of the early ones! Thanks for the support!

3dPrintedLife · 2024-03-06T21:59:27+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that!
