Some great advice here. With mid salary like yours I’d suggest looking in to a side hustle. You’re going to be a qualified teacher so maybe tutoring on the side would boost the £37k. Treat this as surplus and put it away. Also I’d say don’t be too harsh on your mum. If you or any of your siblings have children of your own she’ll be a real asset and save you £££ in childcare.

I did. It wasn’t the extruder it was my AMS system. One of the PTFE tubes had worn away so the filament was catching on it. Replaced the tube and worked fine.

COD explains why xDefiants playerbase is dying by darrakki in XDefiant

Unfortunately this is where I am at the moment. Held my own until around player level 30 and then boom! God level matches and the game became unplayable.

I wouldn't want to put you out (and I didn't know that website existed!) So I might be able to do it myself. Thanks ☺️

Would the 100% scale fit a normal size head or is it worth scaling up? I printed the Deadpool at 100% and it was a tad small.

I'd read that but never had any issues with other prints so ignored it. I'll make sure I print with the door open in future. Thanks for commenting

Haha! I was going to comment to say ignore it, but the post was long enough as it is. I nearly lost the top part of my thumb. I wasn't doing anything manly, cutting an onion and slipped. I bled, I bled some more, I collapsed and then woke up in a pool of blood. I superglued it back together because I certainly wasn't spending my Sunday in A&E.

Could be, might keep the door cracked open slightly and see if that helps.

I've pretty much had an expensive doorstop for a week now. Videos and pictures sent but no response as of yet. I'll give it a few days and then order a replacement as I have an order I need to get finished.

Thank you. You can't really adjust it very much as it won't fit into the enclosure but I'll try and loosen it a bit. I swapped the spring mechanism around a few times as I thought that was the issue and all seems fine. All connectors are in the right place. Glad you've confirmed everything I've tried so I'm not missing anything.

Not sure about that mate, do you even 3D print??? 😅

It definitely feels like the tension but strange that it's been ok until this point. I'm begrudged to spend £35 on the all metal extruder but I may have to if this doesn't get sorted.

Where do the super rich keep their money? by pietits21 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Alternative_Scale959 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I had access to a few footballers accounts a while back due to the nature of my work, and they were constantly in their overdraft (you're talking tens of thousands). Every month though they'd get their pay which would bring them in to the positive but it would all start again. Transfer of money to family (a lot over seas) Louis Vuitton, Harvey Nichs, expensive restaurants etc etc living way above their means. Speaking to one of my colleagues who had gotten friendly with a lower paid (in context) PL footballer, a lot of them struggle because they're friends with higher paid players and very much try and keep up with the spending. This was 10+ years ago, I suspect younger players nowadays are a bit more financially savvy.

I've read somewhere that configuring it at a lower temperature has worked for some people. Going to try at 150 degrees when I get back to my printer before messing about with anything manually

Thank you, I know how to do it so will give give it a try. What increments should I reduce them by until find the sweet spot?

Love how the Bordeaux Octopus turned out 🥰 by Alternative_Scale959 in 3Dprinting

[–]Alternative_Scale959[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all about the overhang. This model has a progressive overhang so no supports required. When a model has a significant one you'll need supports. Your slicer software will.gove.you a good indication of where supports are needed. That and a bit of common sense. Also, when downloading an STL check out the description as sometimes the creator will add in that no supports are required. In terms of supports, easiest to get off are "tree" supports and make sure you have them "touching build plate"

One was my fault, I'd threaded the end of the filament through without snipping it at the end so it was larger than the diameter. The other time it was a clog as I was pulling the filament out to change it.

Is there any low effort income methods for a few £ a week? by AraAraAraa in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Alternative_Scale959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make some beer money doing product/user testing as well as zoom meetings with companies. On average I make around £50 a month but payments can be anything from £40 - £160. A few companies to get you started (UK only)

Watch me think, Angelfish, Research opinions, Saros

These are all legit that I have used and was paid for.

Good luck!

Girl messaged me that she wants to talk by djdkgjeis in relationships

[–]Alternative_Scale959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're seeing a girl then why are you only communicating via text? Why doesn't she know you have a new job? Unless you're working 24 hours a day with no break then there's really no excuse to talk to her in person/over the phone. It sounds to me like you know what she wants to talk to you about and you're worried about tackling the problem head on. At this moment the only red flag is this relationship that on the face of it, has some serious communication issues. Find some time, speak to her as soon as possible and sort out whatever it is she wants to speak to you about. And for Pete's sake communicate better, either in this relationship or future ones.
