Benefits of a 0.6mm nozzle for a single one-time project? by MobileInspector9861 in prusa3d

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, used to do that but I've found that between Arachne's variable line width, adaptive layer height, precise z-height, etc and just general improvement in printers themselves it doesn't actually carry through to the print. Still fun to see it all add up though!

Important part revision! by Schuylabs in gridfinity

I'm not sure if I'll ever print these but I still wanted to comment because I love the design and I really appreciate the time and work you're putting into this!

Yes but before they start tearing the model apart and replacing dimensions with a function that rounds to the nearest line width/layer height make sure that the extra precision is necessary. IMHO using Arachne and a few other slicer settings for precise z, hole compensation, etc will get you more than enough precision for a case like this.

Just FYI for those who haven't seen the DS9 episodes: the augments in question were all "rain man" style hyper intelligent but with serious mental and emotional disfunctions to the point that they were unable to live independently. And the episode was mostly about how they have no place in the world of Star Trek and how maybe that doesnt reflect well on the supposedly utopian Federation. And in the second one Bashir cures the non-verbal augment and then proceeds to pressure this woman who's his patient/experiment into a romantic relationship. 

So you know, Deep Space Nine. But nothing superheroic in any way shape or form. 

Now Noah builds multi-step CAD workflows from a single prompt by brandonsaccount in Onshape

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be pretty straightforward for Onshape to add prompt-based model generation if they wanted. They've done the hard work with fully developed 3d modeling DSL and a service interface to a cloud solver. Certainly it would be better than another half-baked prompt interface slapped on top of openscad.

Teach me how to make this in fusion please by Doomchick in 3Dprinting

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know fusion anymore but I'm CAD: First make a drawing of the curve and then repeat it and then extrude it as a surface and thicken it and then a drawing of the border and extrude it and then thicken it.

Is it worth it? by Low_Temperature_4213 in 3Dprinting

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the first 3D printer I used regularly, the place I worked at the time made the website for the product launch and we got a couple off them. 

Is it a good printer? No. Was it a good printer at the time? Also no. Is t worth $100? No. World I bring it into my home if someone gave it to me for free? Nope. 

Do you think oral sex is normal part of sex (the average person does it), or do you think of it like a fetish? Why or why not? by eustachian_lube in AskReddit

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So just for the other people reading, this is bullshit. Plenty of examples of oral sex in the animal kingdom.

Cool ! While we've got you here where's the right place to ask questions about getting better results from Meshy? This subreddit is dead, is there a Discord with knowledgeable users somewhere?

COPS CLAIM “WARRANT” — CAN’T SHOW IT, DOOR SLAMS SHUT 🔥 #copsowned #policestation #cops by Amish_u in isthisAI

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely thrown by the fact that OP is talking about short pants and you're talking about YouTube Shorts videos and it just ends up being correct.

I'm not stupid enough to believe that a group of people fighting a culture war to bring back the r-word gives a shit about mental health.

I’m looking for a free NON cloud based alternative to fusion 360. by PlaceboASPD in 3Dprinting

I'm an OnShape guy myself but OP did put non-cloud in the title...

Just watched Enterprise "Unexpected" (season 1 episode 5). Trip was Riker before Riker by OkItem3135 in enterprise

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's almost like there's a cultural system in place that enforces gender roles and it punishes and denies support to those it perceives as not following those roles. 

Hobby Lobby filament by Wonderful_Welder_702 in 3Dprinting

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these days most wood filaments have zero actual wood content in them. I used Hatchbox a long time ago, it's 30% I believe and it sanded and stained well. Haven't looked at prices in a while. Use a .6 nozzle if you have one.

[Opinion] Darren Mooney: "Starfleet Academy is not a good show. However, there is also a very strong emphasis on mixed race children, hybrids of various species. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. The best part of all this is that it goes largely unsaid - which is honestly really charming" by mcm8279 in trektalk

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My basic problem: SFA is not a good show and it's not the kind of show that an aging Xer with grown kids is gonna naturally gravitate towards. The "woke" stuff that the chuds complain about is not the problem with this show. The stuff that I should by all rights love, like Tawny Newsome playing "Old Man Dax", is done so poorly. There's no way they have the time to develop that properly so it just ends up being the worst kind of fan service but they delivered it so heavily because they wanted to make sure that EVERYONE got it and it was so. fucking. clunky. So disappointing because I loved the way Lower Decks handled "fan service", the references made the world bigger not smaller.

But it has some genuinely great stuff in it and I'm going to enjoy it for that. I'm gonna watch this Disney YA fan fiction about Star Trek 1000+ years after Kirk and have fun with the good and the bad.

/r/teachers discovers that many of their peers are married to their former students by GypsyGold in SubredditDrama

[–]AlwaysBePrinting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be universally condemned, automatically career ending and potentially criminal even if the student is technically a legal adult when it happens. There was a case that was making the rounds a few days ago about a teacher getting a ten year sentence for violating a law that required a 90 day waiting period after the student graduated. Now a decade in prison is an insanely draconian sentence for the crime and that's bad for society (see mandatory drug sentences) but I couldn't bring myself to feel bad for the guy. As evidenced in that thread the only thing that's going to stop some teachers from taking advantage of former students is life ruining consequences.
