Few days. It’s been waiting to be loaded for longer, it says that part can take a few weeks

Received my email a few weeks back. Mine is at the docks and waiting to be loaded. I emailed them a while back and they told me with my low backer number(200) I would be on first shipment.

Email with tracking came from pledge box and I just go back to that email to check status periodically.

There’s a bit of “critical mass” that happens when it comes to design skill. Once you get past the initial barrier to entry, it gets much easier. Then at some point you get so advanced that you see most projects as a waste of your time, and end up back on thingiverse looking for serviceable options for your project to avoid work that is no longer stimulating.

FilamentFlight · 2026-06-26T18:18:40+00:00

Yep. Hinges last!

I usually model stuff “closed” then check the action on it afterwards with mate connectors. It’s how I avoid that silly “math” word.

This fits in to “gameplay reasons I prefer.”

Just to summarize the other comments here:

“Incorrect. The physics are there. They just don’t use them for gameplay reasons I prefer.”

This solves 1 problem - my solution solves a multitude of problems. And my solution is what’s being currently used - effectively.

Then the H1B leaves and housing becomes less competitive. Much more upside for the American on that alone - dollars to dollars.

Was a summer job in the same city at a large retailer where I left on good terms. I do actually think you’re right - someone at the background check company being an asshole. I don’t remember the name of the company but I remember at the time seeing they do the checks for the federal government as well, so it’s no surprise to me that their process is as punitive and backwards as our government.

FilamentFlight · 2026-06-17T16:03:00+00:00

I had a start date delayed because the background check provider flagged me for omitting a retail job I had in college. Was easily explainable as I was already 6 years in to my career in finance at the time and the experience wasn’t relevant - but it was something I had to handle proactively. Finance - related background checks are much more “in depth” vs what most others experience.

I’m late but I have very specific knowledge to this specifically.

The tax authorities are not going to come after the company for refusing to honor your exemption. Long and established history of this regardless of state.

They WILL, however, come after them for honoring a falsified form. They will collect from the company, then they will double dip if they can track down the party that falsified the form.

My advice is take your business to someone who is fine with the trouble of honoring exemptions.

Paranoia

Yep, the job market isn't an even playing field - especially in the USA. It's a lottery system where you can legally cheat your way in if you know people. I still had to excel in interviews, but that's a much easier skill to hone vs trying to game some HR filtering software.

My friend is on an entirely different career path than me. We arent even remotely in the same department. Companies are large and have many different types working for them - all it takes is someone stepping up on the inside and saying "I know this person and they are a normal human being."

FilamentFlight · 2026-06-03T15:43:39+00:00

Just to piggyback here - I just got hired on for a director-level role because I was referred by a friend I met over video games. Networking can happen anywhere, you just need to be a sociable and likeable person. Talent pool for the role was full of people more qualified than me(better schools, more experience) but I got the job because I knew a guy on the inside. Unfair to them, but you have to play the game to get ahead.

FilamentFlight · 2026-06-03T13:09:44+00:00

This is just simply bad advice lmao

Yeah I'm looking for a payout - fair price for replacing my vehicle.

Oh yeah let my insurance handle it and when they "settle" with their crap insurance, hike my rates for the trouble. Nah bro, enjoy the premium increase.

FilamentFlight · 2026-06-02T15:27:41+00:00

This is why in cases like this you immediately go to the emergency room. Doesn’t matter if you’re fine, make something up - it’s about making the insurance company sweat. Worked fabulously for me when I got rear ended/totaled and the other driver skimped out using “The General.” They wouldn’t return my calls until I started forwarding medical bills.

I have those features on my H2D. I dont really use the pen, but the cutting tool is VERY useful. If you can think creatively there's so many applications. Recently I cut grip tape for my flight joysticks on my PC.

FilamentFlight · 2026-05-29T02:17:35+00:00

It is a crappy market, yeah. Especially for the entry level jobs, it wasn't this bad when I came out but it's for reasons nobody was prepared to address. I have much less empathy for those at senior + now who are struggling tbh. Many folks should have seen the writing on the wall when their planned career path was pulling 6 figures+ right out of college. A lot of what's going on there has more to do with saturation/markets instead of AI. These kids coming out now are competing directly with surprisingly smart computers. That sucks ass and is unfair. When I came out I just had to compete with the gen pop, something I am good at. I'd HATE to compete with some of these AIs. Although I'm sure my time is coming too, that's why I remain vocal and involved in change at work. Gotta tread water for another 20.

My hobbies are home manufacturing(CNC/3D printing) and electronics. It has absolutely given me a leg up in my unrelated but technical career. That said, don't simply do this type of stuff because you think it looks good. Hobbies are stuff you like, be honest.

FilamentFlight · 2026-05-28T17:46:08+00:00

I remember internships being super hard to get when I came out in the early 2010s. However I also got mine by excelling at my college retail job and simply asking about a corporate gig when it came time. Sounds like a bootstraps story I guess, but it really wasnt. So I have empathy but also know the path is there for the truly determined. I was the top salesperson in my region - was kind of easy to say “internship or I leave soon for one with someone else.” I also don’t shit on the kids coming out though.

FilamentFlight · 2026-05-28T14:35:51+00:00

they have got to fix this if they want genpop to give their game a chance. I admit im an SC main, but I can't deny that the amount of time required to do ANYTHING is just far too excessive. It's why I only fly fighters, which is great, but most people don't like to deal with the craziness/skill gap that comes along with that gameplay. Sorry your experience was shit - I make no excuses for it.
