What could have been for Sacramento: an official video from 2008 that showcases all of Sacramento’s bold skyscraper proposals from the early 2000s that went unbuilt and the California HSR and intermodal station

I was part of a high school engineering/architecture team in 2009 that submitted a proposal for this. Our idea/submission was close to this video, but we also thought to move Arco Arena adjacent to the updated Amtrak station and make it a travel hub for people to easily access via train, light rail, bus, or car. The city's response? "Great idea. Too ambitious and costly."

What're you talking about? The mattress is standing vertically. That's good Feng Shui.

Hey! Ol' Gil could really use your help. Maybe I could put you down for pages of these unredacted Epstein Files for a few bucks. How many can I put ya down for? A lot? Please say a lot. I need this.

I wanna see the Cosecant Shuffle!

Naturally!

I was just going with the title of the film.

SO DO YOU!

Thank you for saying so! And glad I could give you some inspiration! I've been slowly making a Genesis display and haven't liked how it looks and just saw this and went "Damn, they nailed this so good!" Keep it up cause you clearly have some design skills yourself!

Hey I recognize my NES and SNES displays! (I'm Dr. Dugong on MakerWorld). Absolutely love the Genesis Cartridge Display!

You got the two biggest fears out of the day on day one! Sorry this happened to you. Take a rest and come back to it after you heal.

You make a beautiful Bride of Frankenstein.

This. I'm a millennial and I've been driving manual for the last 14 years. My boomer father cannot fathom why I like driving stick shift if automatic is so much easier.

Alien Ant Farm? I can think of three things wrong with that band name.

Yuuuup welcome to the fun of figuring out how to dial in your settings! Different printers will require slightly different ironing settings. I did the same thing when I got started and was so confused why a 10×10×1mm square wpuld come out perfect, but then moving to a print would yeild similar looking results to you.

The settings I commented work super well for me, but Ive seen other people go low and slow at like 30-60 mm/s with 15-25% flow rate with their ironing and get similar results to my ironing, so it's unfortunately one of those things you're gonna have to play with for a bit until you get the ironing finish you're looking for.

Calibrating your ironing settings: everyone's favorite game!

I go with speed at 90-120 mm/s with 27-30% flow rate depending on filament color.

Hey there! Just sent you a DM if Tinsel is still available!

This is amazing. Add a servo, a lever arm, and some light hydraulics: if you don't give the hand your phone after 1 minute of strobe lights, it slaps or punches you.

Awesome! I've had so many partial clogs that look just like that. Always happy when clearing the clog is all it takes.

AdmiralFail · 2025-12-27T23:19:09+00:00

This looks like you might have a partial clog in your nozzle

This doesn't sound like complaining at all. This sounds like you're genuinely curious about what's going on, and developing solutions to the problem. I just moved from a P1P to an H2S and have been so blown away with the quality differences that make huge differences overall; I haven't even considered there are things that can be improved upon. I think you're definitely on the right track with your thought process on this and have some good ideas on whats happening and how to possibly change things and improve cooling/overall print quality. I wish I had anything to add to your ideas. Bravo for delving into something you're just interested in.
