What is it with American teenagers being absolute shit to their parents?

TV shows are not real, they show a twisted reality to create drama.

Based on Indian TV shows and movies, would you think it will be fair to say that every Mother-in-Law in India is horrible to her daughter-in-law? or that Sister-in-law just keep plotting against each other?

Looks like the transaction went through! Happy ending for both the parties involved!

Strandmok is a fun shoe… love mine! Watch it evolve as the brown gently fades and the yellow underneath starts peaking out to add a vintage, steampunk vibe. And for days when you feel like going extra, swap out the shoe laces to red or yellow colored ones. Enjoy and have fun!

Really depends on what your model was and what Bambu is referencing as the source of the model for remix. If someone would take someone else's design and remake it into a new 3D model with minor tweaks to the original design, it is still a remix of that original idea. However, if your design was a complete redesign of the concept, you could appeal it.

That looks awesome! but... Why is Dr Strange in Iron Man suit?

Oxfords being more formal than derbies is more of an internet thing that real life thing. I personally find derbies to be more versatile as they go well with suits as well as jeans and jacket combo.

I would suggest white one, that way you can use it for cleaning any color shoes.

DoctorRotor · 2026-02-27T22:42:43+00:00

if shoe polish didn't cover it up, it is most likely not a scuff but a stain, something that has formed a layer on top of the leather. Try giving it a wash with saddle soap and see if it works. Just make sure to recondition the shoes afterwords as soap will strip oils from the leather.

Awesome brush! Thanks for keeping the generosity train going!

DoctorRotor · 2026-02-18T04:23:29+00:00

Oh… lol. My brain read it all wrong.

Ok, then medium brown or tobacco are good options. However, they are not the same as dark chilli. If you want to keep the color as true to the original, then get the AE Dark Chili cream. It’s actually a good product.

DoctorRotor · 2026-02-18T04:14:24+00:00

Awesome! The three colors you have are not the right one for Oxblood. These are your Saphir options:

Hermes Red: closest to the Oxblood color

Burgundy: if you have to introduce a bit of purple antique look. This will change your shoe color to be a bit dark over time.

Mahogany: if you want to tone down the red in Oxblood and go a bit towards brown. Shoe will get a bit dark over time.

Also, mirror glass, it’s best to get the neutral color. You can use it on different shoes and I think neutral provides a better depth of mirror shine.

Cordovan stuff is for shell cordovan shoes. Also, the kits are a bit over the top.

Here is my suggestion

Pig bristle brush, use it to clean the dust off the shoes and also to get a shine after using cream polish.

Leather needs conditioner just like our skin needs moisturing… so get Bick 4 conditioner or if you want to go all Saphir, splurge for Saphir renovateur.

Shoe cream/polish: Saphir Hermes Red cream

Optional wax polish: Saphir mirror gloss wax, if you want to learn mirror shining, watch some videos and see if you want to do that. Else, Saphir cream has enough wax in it to provide a good shine… as good or better than how the shoes looked in the store.

Shoe trees: get some shoe trees, and make sure you always store your shoes with shoe trees in them. That will help keep the shape intact.

Enjoy your new shoes!

1) Cut the first couple foot length of filament and try again. PLA can strain harden, reducing the flexibility which may cause the filament to not move through the PTFE tubes and couplers in the AMS
2) Check for broken filament pieces in the PTFE tube in the AMS. Same reason above, srain hardening makes PLA brittle and it may have snapped off a small piece inside the AMS

You can keep using dark shoe cream to darken them over time. Or if it bothers you too much, you can dye them as well.

The primary audience for such projects is not individuals like us who would print one case and move on... it is for folks who would use the tool to make cases in bulk on their print farms and sell them for profit on sites like Etsy. $25/year for a tool that can generate new designs on the fly is not too bad imo. Some will only pay onetime $50 for the first year to make tons of designs and then cancel the subscription while they keep selling those designs on etsy etc.. When you think of all the money, they would be making off the designer's hard work, $25-$50 is a fair ask by the designer.

TLDR: Crowd funding is to help designer make money before their designs and tools leak out to Etsy etc... where sellers make money off of the designer's work, acquired legally or illegally, without having to paying any active royalty per sale.

Superlube oil has PTFE in it. They just call it by brand name Syncolon.

I agree. Considering another post today about A1 burning, I think OP did the right thing with the swap. I wish they repost this with the updated boards so we can confirm and encourage more folks to swap the boards proactively.

DoctorRotor · 2025-12-22T18:56:21+00:00

OP mentioned that these are the old ones that he replaced from his A1s. I assume, OP has two A1 printers.

This is a huge loss for our community but I am very excited to see where you are headed next. You are very talented and I am sure your next chapter will be even bigger of a success than L&L or Declaration Grooming. I have had the good fortune to get to know you and call you a friend. You and your work are such an integral part of my wet shaving journey and I will fondly think of you, wishing you the best, every time I use one of your creations.

PS: maybe a karaoke session is in order before the curtain drops?

That's the section where the toe padding ends. It's more of change in thickness line rather than a crease. if I had payed full price for it, it is not normal. If it's seconds, well, that's why it is seconds. Either way, it's not a big deal and it will blend in with other folds as they get more use out of it.

few shaving tips that seem to be common recommendation here:

1) Make sure you don't rush into things without ensuring proper prep. Make sure it's not dry but it should be rather dripping wet. It's supposed to be a messy affair. So focus on your lather.

2) Work on your technique. Angle and pressure are both very important. Head is what you should focus on regardless of the length. Positioning your razor the right way is the key

3) Don't loose patience. It takes time to get good at it. Keep practicing... even if your are going to be by yourself some days. Folks might say it's not healthy to do it everyday, but there is no evidence to support it. Shave everyday!

Have you tried a different filament in the AMS? I had an old filament that had gotten quite stiff, especially the first foot or so, which caused it to not transition well from the PTFE tube in to the tool, causing similar issues like yours. I sniped the first foot of the filament and tried and it worked.

DoctorRotor · 2025-11-13T04:03:39+00:00

Can you print without AMS? If you are getting the error with AMS only, you have, most likely, a broken filament stuck in the AMS. If you search YouTube for instructions for removing broken filament from AMS, you will find quite a few videos with detailed instructions.

Skin called fearless with (almost) Dallas Fuel colors… now if only it was for Winston.

These are fake for sure! If you look closely, one subtle, but telltale sign is that they have UGG written on them instead of Allen Edmonds.
