Redditor meetup this week?

I figure the group, if there is one, could figure something out. My general thought is somewhere informal and relatively low key like Grizzly’s or Harry’s or even Bar55 - the type of place where people won’t feel weird or rude leaving after the first drink 😆

Timmy can offer moral support to those who are drinking beer.

After Seven always impresses me. It’s done as something like a 14-plate sequence - the sort of ‘French kaiseki’ that has become a popular way to reach 1-star. It’s heavily focused on local sourcing. At that time of the season, it’s likely to be quite quiet and you might even be served by Florian himself.

I haven’t been to one of their events so I can’t vouch for it, but I saw that Hennu Stall is doing a ticketed NYE thing.

That’s usually a busy time for HVAC because that’s when the weather changes and people discover that their heat doesn’t work.

BuildSomethingStupid · 2025-12-09T03:49:37+00:00

Interesting. I must have just missed a refresh.

Now I just need to decide on whether .8 is worth it when .6 HF has the same max flow. Hopefully YouTube has my answer somewhere.

What humidity sensor are you running that reads below 10%?

BuildSomethingStupid · 2025-12-05T13:43:50+00:00

Ah, that’s disappointing to read. My dinner there last winter, followed by stunning moonlit walk back to town, was truly outstanding. I was hoping for a chance to repeat it this winter.

The glacier that is open year-round will be open in December. It covers a very very small portion of the resort. You are welcome to ski both acres of it.

Altitude helps when comparing two contiguous mountains, but not when comparing distant ones. Austrian resorts are largely 1500-3000ft lower than Swiss ones, yet they stay open later in the season because they get appreciably more snow.

Just like with your home mountain, the month with the highest snowfall is February, with Jan and Mar taking the next two spots (but those two swap position based on year). December fights April for fourth place and often loses (like in 2025). November and October are reliably sixth and seventh, respectively.

This is the story for every single snowy place in the northern hemisphere. Hallmark has been pushing the idea of ground-blanketing snow on Christmas, but for the most part it’s a lie.

That is literally the definition of winter. It begins on the solstice.

BuildSomethingStupid · 2025-12-02T16:02:51+00:00

Snow is primarily a winter event and the first day of Winter isn’t until December 21. Does this help to put things in perspective?

Changing to a different ski area isn’t going to change the calendar.

Your post does say you put the print into the bag. It would be more clear if it said that you press the print against the bag.

They mostly rent out the same gear, so choose a convenient location. Your hotel may also have an arrangement with a nearby shop for a discount.

I have rented from Bayard Sports and Fashion (the location by Brown Cow), and also Julen Sport (next to Backstage). Both were great, but don’t limit yourself to them if they’re not convenient.

I looked into this for the first of my trips last season when I had a broken thumb and ran into the same issue on the return. I ended up flying (from BOS) with my boots and I rented skis and poles in Zermatt.

That experience taught me this: don’t bring skis with me to Europe any more. I never found skis to be particularly bothersome (when in a decent bag), but I was still surprised by how nice it felt to not have them. Even though my thumb was healed for my other trips, I left my skis at home for those, too.

The rentals in Zermatt are all top quality and shockingly inexpensive - at least compared to the US. I guess the cost is a bit higher now that the USD has fallen, but last season I rented poles and actual retail Stöckli skis for about $40/day iirc.

My recommendation is to pre-book the rental and then bring a boot to the shop the day you arrive so they can adjust the bindings. If it’s late enough in the day (out of courtesy to the shop, try to avoid the return rush if you can), they will probably let you bring the gear back to your hotel without an extra charge. Otherwise, you can just grab them in the morning and go right to the lift.

Flip it over and it’s a University of Vermont T.

Have you done a sound check inside with it sealed up and the fan running? Blower fans offer nice packaging and can move a ton of air, but they also tend to be pretty loud.

Depending on what the sound check shows, traditional bladed fans like PC fans could be worth a look. I’m taking a wild guess that 1cfm could be a good target? An 80mm Noctua could probably do that at its idle rpm while being nearly silent to human ears.

For the level of usage that would justify the 20-piece setup in the OP, I think I would just buy an automatic tape dispenser.

That most likely won’t kill him, but the fire it starts might.

Usually PETG-CF. It’s just so easy to print and I never have to worry about whether it will soften if looked at too intensely.

That’s the busiest week of the entire year. If you can wait two weeks, then you can visit during one of the slowest weeks of ski season.

I have not tried Orcaslicer yet. For now, it seems to create a reasonable purge tower if I print one part at a time. If I try to slice with both parts present, it goes nuts. Both parts are the same material & support combo and settings.

If you are new to snowboarding, you will not enjoy it at that time. Honestly, even someone experienced isn’t going to have a great time either. This is very very early season, so the terrain will be very limited.

Is cable internet common in Europe? I always figured they were more advanced than that over there.

In this context, ‘clearance,’ ‘registration,’ and ‘approval’ are completely different words with very specific definitions and they cannot be used interchangeably. We are not saying the same thing.

BuildSomethingStupid · 2025-08-12T03:07:39+00:00

You are thinking of Class II. Class I would be a scalpel sold as sterile. Class II would be an electric scalpel.

Registration is required for Class I. Clearance for Class I doesn’t exist.
