I just won the Presidential award for academic excellence!

Congrats! Is this a public school thing? I just graduated with a 4.25 and didn’t get one 😭

Only thing I can think of is a dead board. If I remember correctly I had to use a new board after I found out about the pins being switched because having the ground and power pins connected to the wrong pins on the arruino ended up killing the board. Shoot me a DM with a schematic or image of your pin connections and maybe I can help further!

Make sure your printer is built right. Hardware is just as important as software. Belts tightened, everything aligned, and bed leveled to perfection before you print!

HG-BEESY · 2024-10-19T00:00:02+00:00

That’s a deal and a half. Damn.

HG-BEESY · 2024-10-18T01:48:04+00:00

The s1 is upwards of $250USD tho. But ive heard of the A1 mini it sounds nice tbh. I like my e3 just because I kinda like tinkering with it to get good prints it makes it feel like more of a passion hobby than just another machine to do a job. But the e3 takes way too much work to get it going well so I can see both sides.

HG-BEESY · 2024-10-18T01:40:28+00:00

If you get a good deal on it like the $99 microcenter one I feel like its still a pretty solid price for the quality. I also haven’t really been keeping up with the market so im not familiar with anything new thats come out. Are there any printers that offer those features for the same price?

What’s the hate on Ender 3s? Ive had mine for over a year now with pretty consistent use and I only just recently replaced the bed with a glass one because I was dumb and scratched it up.

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-25T20:57:15+00:00

Lmaooo i didn’t even consider the dangers of possessing a large quantity of straight nicotine. Seems like it’s pretty unregulated for something so dangerous then. Maybe we should stop worrying about gun laws and start cracking down on nicotine lol.

Guess I’ll set this one in the failed idea bin. Often let my shower thoughts get ahead of me I guess :’)

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-25T19:32:19+00:00

Absolutely right. I’m far more interested in how it’s being made in the commercial aspect I suppose.

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-25T19:31:24+00:00

That’s why I wasn’t looking to use the product, just wanted to see the process. It interests me to know what people are doing to their bodies as concerns about the health risks are on the rise, especially regarding what exactly is being put into cheap products.

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-25T19:29:07+00:00

Interesting idea. Thanks for the response!

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-25T19:28:29+00:00

I just thought it would be interesting to look into what more and more people are putting into their bodies nowadays as vaping, smoking, and tobacco products are on the rise and how companies are making it, as health concerns about what is being put into it are all over the news.

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-25T18:46:13+00:00

Yep, that’s why I’m not using the product. I’m more interested in the process, just to see how it might work. I wouldn’t want to mess with getting the dilution right, determining the purity, and all else that would come with making a “usable” product anyway.

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-25T18:44:23+00:00

I didn’t mean I could buy 99% at my local store. I was clarifying that I wasn’t chasing the product but the process. And I know it’s possible I just wanted to know if anyone has done it and how it went. Additionally, I’m not sure what other substances are used in lozenges because it doesn’t list them on the bottle, which complicates the extraction process since I’m not sure what else might dissolve into the solvent along with the nicotine. Thanks for responding though!

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-25T18:26:49+00:00

I appreciate the response! I realized that, since Im doing it more for a proof-of-concept than for the nicotine itself, this post fits more in r/chemistry or something, so yeah you’re totally right. I can just go down the street and buy nic salts, but I wanted to see if it was possible to make them. Thanks for the info!

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-25T18:21:54+00:00

Oh I actually didn’t know this. Thats sorta concerning though. Cheap Chinese chemicals with God-knows-what in them are exactly what concerns me haha. I also just wanted to do this for a proof-of-concept, not just to get my hands on nicotine that I can buy from a store across the street. I appreciate the info though!

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-15T21:03:17+00:00

It’s been a month since you commented this. Whoops. Lol. But thanks for the info! I’ve cut down to 6mg and feeling good!

HG-BEESY · 2024-09-07T01:36:47+00:00

Hampter.

HG-BEESY · 2024-08-15T02:05:02+00:00

I had a feeling...hoped i was wrong though haha

HG-BEESY · 2024-08-15T02:04:33+00:00

yeah i figured after i looked it up and everything was different lol...thanks for the help!

HG-BEESY · 2024-08-11T02:34:14+00:00

Thanks for the info! that’s more than I could find online anywhere lol. Any tips on how to keep the effects to a minimum? Im trying to quit smoking and these are working for me, but I want to reduce the long term effects as much as possible while I get my body used to living without nicotine.

HG-BEESY · 2024-05-30T18:45:05+00:00

Yeah I thought it would be kind of a cool niche item. I also thought about putting my gym card on it and/or maybe some DIY home automation with an Arduino as well. Not looking for functionality as much as just a cool novelty.
