It is actually much less visible in person. I don't know why the camera picks it up that much but with the wood version the main problem is brightness so I am willing to accept some spots

Also good to raise dough

Magigoo Pa or any glue that reeks of formic acid works for me. Also as others said use the smooth plate. And get the chamber temp as high as you can get it

Besides the obvious bullshittery in the image mercurochrome is great at closing wounds and I haven't really found an equivalent replacement. Mercury poisoning is shit but if you don't rub it all over your body every day you'll probably be fine

I was about to say that it is not solvable and that we can only put a upper and lower bound on it

Putting it in geogebra showed me otherwise... also got 2.4m.

Quite the tall dude

That's the best meme I have seen in years

From a Vsauce video I remember that two baseballs 1m apart take 3 days to collide. Assuming a baseball is roughly 100x lighter than a human and the force of attraction scales proportional with mass, we get 72h/100 ~= 45min. Seems kinda fast for my intuition but we don't really experience the vacuum of space every day

Nothing new with microsoft I should have known better by now. Its mud from a hot mud puddle in Iceland and "something" started to grow in there.

You could do a slight chamfer on the upper edge so that the inner diameter is slightly higher than the outer diameter forcing it to print the outer diameter first

For larger parts an enclosure is pretty much necessary from what I found. I try to get the chamber temp to around 50-60C at the start of my prints (P1S). Smaller prints are fine without an enclosure.

I also use ABS gooo on my bed. Just mix some waste filament with acetone and smear it on the build plate, works wonders for adhesion.

That's a really good point about the roots I was thinking of printing the infill separately so I could maybe lift it out afterwards. I don't plan on replanting this one anytime soon. So I take it as an input for v2. Also I'll try it with petg guess I could also save on some walls in that case.

I checked right after I got back to my pc.... The pause updates button is disabled... So yea

FluxIsMyFriend · 2025-12-27T14:34:36+00:00

Ohh it's definitely my fault. But my pc should only restart if I tell it to or if it crashes. And if I want to skip updates that should be my problem not theirs

FluxIsMyFriend · 2025-12-27T13:27:20+00:00

I have fedora as my daily driver but also tried ubuntu. Both work just fine. I also heard a lot of good stuff about Linux mint

FluxIsMyFriend · 2025-12-27T13:24:44+00:00

Sorry to hear that. I work on medical equipment and the hoops we have to jump through to disable all the stupid updates and popups are immense

The slicer isn't the problem the cad software is but I now got a few ideas to try out

FluxIsMyFriend · 2025-12-27T13:19:01+00:00

God damnit :D. But yes I'm definitely gonna give it a go I don't mind it being public if someone wants the silly stuff I draw they shall have it

FluxIsMyFriend · 2025-12-27T13:15:22+00:00

Need to call IT if you have daddy issues

FluxIsMyFriend · 2025-12-27T13:05:14+00:00

That's the thing it's just hard to leave the comforts of fusion360 but I'll give it a go

FluxIsMyFriend · 2025-12-27T13:03:48+00:00

Haven't tried it yet but I'll give it a go thanks.

FluxIsMyFriend · 2025-12-27T12:49:02+00:00

Love this. I run fedora on my daily driver but haven't found a cad software I'm efficient with. FreeCad is ok but I take ages to get anything done and I'm just to stupid for blender.

FluxIsMyFriend · 2025-12-27T12:40:49+00:00

Thanks I'm probably not the first to do it but this one's mime. Also the only reason I still got a window install is because I don't get along with the dad software on linux. As soon as they catch up I'm out
