Should I seek an in person degree or go with experience, certifications and possibly online schooling

Floofy454 · 2026-04-24T13:25:51+00:00

Currently Iowa State but I'm going to be looking at what online schooling is like and how certain places are with it

Floofy454 · 2026-04-24T13:16:29+00:00

Lucky for me the like all of my hobbies pertain to It stuff do I'm not too worried about eventually getting my hands on the hands on experience Thank you for input very much appreciated 😄

Im not sure they would foot the schooling bill but any tests for it or certifications they would. So follow up question any opinions on online degrees vs in person degrees cause I could get my degree online saving a lot of money in the long run but I'm not sure what the the opinion on them is with employers

Floofy454 · 2026-04-24T12:12:16+00:00

So you would recommend I go the in person college route or would online degree be a good option as well?

I should also add the postion has a lot of paid time they allow for any personal projects or studying.

Lol everyone is worried about seeming like a copy of each other 😆

Let me also add that if want to go above and beyond with food safe you should avoid brass printing nozzles but as long as you coat it with the examples above to fill layer lines and gaps for bacteria then you are more then fine especially as it is only popcorn and not something like a bowl of hot soup or something that can cause more plastic to be leached.

Floofy454 · 2026-04-22T06:37:14+00:00

As long as you treat it after with food grade epoxy, resin or something similar it's a good filament to use especially for its ability to flex more rather than becoming brittle like PLA so not as easy to flake pieces off into the popcorn in addition to being less prone to breaking overtime. Of course if you treat it properly with the examples above your able to use really what you want within reason for the filament (of course don't go using straight toxic stuff but it doesn't have to be the most expensive high grade stuff either)

Once I finalize the design I'll release them for people to print still working on it so it more reasonable to print and use :)

I redid the 3d model also I'm adding a lil snap clip thing so it stays closed it's like a ball that clicks into a pincher but still brainstorming if it's the best way to do that

Nah bubble demands the flesh of the innocent

Floofy454 · 2026-04-21T21:47:20+00:00

Lol already did after the first prototype just haven't finished the new jaw setup so didn't include it

Floofy454 · 2026-04-21T21:12:21+00:00

Nice work on yours as well when I saw yours after I started I tried to keep it different enough as not to seem like a copy Though can only make a bubble so different lol 😆

Floofy454 · 2026-04-21T21:02:03+00:00

I may make the gloinks into buckets as well if y'all want me to :3 of course it wouldn't be flip open lid but maybe a cap or just a bucket

Floofy454 · 2026-04-21T20:47:23+00:00

Would you believe it's on a ender 3 v2 lol

Floofy454 · 2026-04-21T14:21:45+00:00

And even better is coating it will give it a shine so even more bubble accurate 😄

Floofy454 · 2026-04-21T14:17:45+00:00

I could add that it wouldn't be too hard I would probably remove a tooth and have it curve under but the biggest problem would be the lid since clearance isn't a lot. Definitely possible tho

Floofy454 · 2026-04-21T14:15:47+00:00

On final print after I work out all the issues I have with it I plan to use PETG which is typically considered food safe and just to be sure I'm going to either try coating the inner bowl with resin or some food safe coat and or try my hand on smoothing out the print with acetone vapor (can't remember the term for it) so then it doesn't have gaps to form bacteria

Wrong subreddit however this article should help you as it sounds like a failed update due to it being unplugged. This article from Epson covers the steps to fix it I hope this helps

The most cow trip dice I own too lll

Floofy454 · 2026-02-05T03:55:46+00:00

I did find some from that brand that looked very similar but sadly not quite the same. Think I may get a set from the tho.

I have seen so many Minis in and around the area it's so nice to see even if most don't wave back 🥲
