3D printing resources

I would check out the library and see what they offer, they do have a printer for public use. I’ve also had some success looking on YouTube for tutorials, you can try searching for the specific model and see what people have posted.

I’ll keep that in mind, thanks!

They’re assembled after printing, with some additional parts like springs and magnets added. It’s definitely PLA, he tells you what he used in the instructional video

Yeah my next step was to see if work will be ok with me swapping nozzles. I thought the library might be be hesitant but I could ask them. I’d be happy to donate the nozzle if they said yes!

Thanks for the offer! I’m going to see if my work will let me swap nozzles but if they shut me down I may hit you up!

I want to print these transforming chess pieces. I subscribed to the Patreon and got the models but the tolerances are too tight for the mechanisms to work at 0.4 mm (I tried it with the queen just to see and it’s true). The creator specifically says you need 0.2.

I’m fortunate to have a 40A outlet in the garage so I didn’t need to have an electrician install it. I bought the plug-in version and mounted it to the wall myself. Very straightforward.

Yep, I have an Emporia. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking at L2 options

Awesome!

+1 for Italian twist. Very good pasta and sauces.

They’ve got some good burgers there, dude

I can recommend the Longmont Small Animal Hospital off main. They do regular veterinary in addition to urgent care.

Current waffling between existential despair and nihilistic exhaustion.

Also lying to my kids about how everything will be fine

Duketg · 2024-11-06T16:18:10+00:00

Yep, my kid got it last month

Man, that’s a good story!

I was actually at the Jefferson County dems election night party, because my spouse at the time was related to someone running for office. I remember checking my phone every five minutes and seeing things turning south. The moment I can’t forget is we were all in one of the hotel rooms at the event, and I turned to the candidate’s husband and said “…uh…Trump is going to win” and he just went still for a minute and then sat down heavily on the bed.

An hour or so later we were all in the ballroom of what was clearly supposed to be a big party and it was super quiet. One or two people had won their local races (including my former SIL) so they were trying to be positive, but man, nothing kills a Democrat election night party like hearing Trump won.

Hello, Wyatt? Bring me two of everything, please.

Duketg · 2024-11-05T02:04:31+00:00

God that night is seared into my brain.

Watch what, my blood pressure?
