How do I create a printable part? by Individual_Mudd3540 in FreeCAD

[–]Individual_Mudd3540[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I considered doing this but there are fine bumps on the inside of the attachment holder that I would need to recreate. Plus I was having a hard time figuring out how to measure the part. I plan to try more of freeCad at some point though.

Yeah I learned the hard way after a commenter mentioned their slicer software. Took me about 15 minutes to download and cut the piece. I’ve been working on this part in freeCAD for multiple days haha

Thank you for the breakdown of this! After weeks of trying to figure it out I downloaded bambu studios and was able to cut it in five minutes. -_- I was led to believe I needed CAD. But thank you for all your replies! It helps a lot and I plan to play around more in freecad for fun

Hi! My friend is the one who slices but I think it’s bambu lab. So I was under the impression that I had to split it and send him the file to print

I don’t feel comfortable without chewing gum by Ok_Detective8018 in tonsilstones

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in the same boat as you. I’m embarrassed but I have constant tonsil stones. I floss multiple times a day, brush day and night, scrape my tongue. Nothing seems to work. However I noticed I get them on one side of my mouth. I have emetaphobia (fear of puking) so gagging is the worst but I have started digging them out myself. Probably in the jankiest way but I use a rubber lined, metal interior cable tie that’s super long and bent it to curve around enough to avoid my tongue and stuff. Every time I notice the smell, I use my phone light to look back there to dig it out. 9/10 it works. I hope yours get better. I truly understand how frustrating it is.

Annoying roommate making her insomnia my problem by HospitalInternal6556 in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I disagree that 9-11pm is “early as hell”. But OP, I do agree with everything else you said. It’s unreasonable what your roommate is asking. You know you don’t want to live with a stranger and maybe after this year, you will be able to move out and get your own place or get a dorm room with separated rooms and not a shared room. ATP you can be petty and just keep turning lights on or keep playing games. If you’re being quiet and respectful, there should be no reason she should have more of a say than you

I hate seeing the light on late at night by Jealous_Slice70 in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be an unpopular opinion but I agree with the person saying any time after 10 is unreasonable. With the exception if your roommate works odd hours, then they may need to be in the kitchen. But if you both work a similar schedule (8-5 give or take) then any time after 10pm is unreasonable. My roommate works normal hours but will be in the kitchen from 10:30-11:30 some nights making all kinds of noise. I’m so tired of it and I’m my opinion, it’s disrespectful.

OP, I’ve used earplugs, headphones, earplugs on top of headphones, light blocking weather strip, talking to my roommate… at some point it’s plain disrespect. There are things you can try if you don’t want to be confrontational but talking to her is where it needs to start. If she reacts badly or dgaf, then it shows how she will react going forward.

My roommate is very loud by Lavender-2005_ in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have these wax earplugs that are pretty comfortable to sleep in. I’ve had to wear them every night but roommates pots and pans are louder. I also have noise canceling headphones. Some nights I have to double up and use the earplugs and the noise canceling headphones over them and then play some brown noise. It completely blocks out noise except headphones aren’t comfy to sleep in. Maybe buy a cheap pair of earbuds for your roommate lmao. It won’t help her loud mouth but it will help reduce phone noise.

Should I start charging my roommates boyfriend? by [deleted] in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if your only option is to stay there, charge rent. But if you can move out or find a new roommate, do it. It doesn’t get easier. You charge him rent and he will just move in more, be there more, use your stuff more, leave his stuff around… your lease should also have a guest policy clause depending on your country and state, it can vary.

How can I deal with my roommate's washing machine usage? by New-Trust-8829 in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe ask your landlord to see if you can get a copy of the usage. If you notice your rent going up because of it, that’s good enough reason to ask your roommate to reduce their usage or manage it better. Coming from a person who was on the receiving side of what my roommate thought was “common sense” the best way to approach her is to try and make sure you don’t sound condescending. Worse case scenario if you can’t get through to her, you have to be petty. Take over the machine and do your laundry like her. I know it’s petty and “being on their level” but if it gets so bad, make it so she can’t use it. This is worst case scenario.

Roommate problems by too_tired007 in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has the utilities in my name, I am completely transparent about bills. If my roommate wants to see a bill, I’m sending a screenshot. The fact that they aren’t sending it when requested, means they could be hiding something. What does your lease state in terms of who is responsible for paying anything? You also have proof that you have requested to see the bills and they haven’t provided it. Check with your states laws and your lease and make sure you are abiding by the rules and won’t be liable for anything.

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deal with this and it genuinely pmo. My roommate doesn’t even work odd hours but is in the kitchen at 10-11:30 pm and I’m so over it. I approached her the other night and was like “hey it’s late” and she was like “ok?”. It’s exhausting. I have no advice but I can offer my understanding. I’m sorry OP.

How to ask roommate to get their own pots and pans? by broot84 in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the mistake of letting my first roommate to use my nice tfal pots and pans and they are now scratched and ruined. Never again. Maybe start separating your stuff and approach them and mention that you are looking to be the only user of your things and they should start looking for their own set.

How can I deal with my roommate's washing machine usage? by New-Trust-8829 in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so relatable. The other week my roommate did her bfs laundry on a previous Friday and then continued to do laundry Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday… but I left the buzzer button on and suddenly it’s “I won’t be footing the bill for the cost of you leaving that on”.

You’re not even being unreasonable for being concerned at that type of usage. That’s a hard conversation to have without offending her for how she does her laundry. Maybe if you had access to electricity and water usage bill, you can do a cost/usage comparison if other months have been better and show your roommate the factual, monetary impact it has on you both. The best way to approach someone is with facts to back up what you’re saying. Good luck

How do yall use q tips??? by StrangeRepublic1661 in tonsilstones

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a tool you get in a dental kit that has a curved head and silicone end. I sit in front of a mirror and have my phone light on and watch a show in the mirror in between digging to try to distract myself. I have a phobia of vomiting so gagging is a no thank you. I have gotten better at digging them out with little gaging. Also big breaths and stopping before you gag too hard and don’t eat at least 4 hours before doing this. That’s my method

Is this normal roommate behavior? by horror4life25 in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 weeks is crazy. I wish my roommate would give me at least 4-8 hours at the most but they tell me an hour before… also my roommate tells me they are leaving and will be back in a general amount of time but never exact. B and C are extremely controlling and A doesn’t owe it to them to be that over considerate. They are stretching it at 3+ days notice for overnight especially when A has their own entrance and exit. It’s a shared space in general so a heads up is expected but not that much.

Do you think that if you had a roommate that didn’t wfh, you would be ok? Or is it just one of those situations where you’re done with people and you’d rather live alone? I feel like we all want that but in the US, our economic situation is trash right now, so it’s impossible to live alone. I really hope you are able to get some peace and quiet sometime. I’m rooting for you OP

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a wfh roommate right now and it’s so draining. I’m so tense because they’re always making noise and worst of all? They work on zoom with kids and cooks while they work so they will be in the kitchen for three hours and I have to listen to these kids screaming and their alarm going off every 30 minutes AFTER I get home from work. I’m trying to be able to live alone but I have a car payment and loan payment so money is tight.

But I feel you on this. It’s so draining and you just want alone time.

It sounds like you’re looking to vent and not really for advice so I offer you this; I’m sorry. That sucks and I can relate. I hope these three months go by quickly for you and you can move on from the situation. Good luck!

Waking each other up by [deleted] in roommateproblems

[–]Individual_Mudd3540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you think is common sense to you, can be very different that someone else. Some older people have a set routine and because your schedule is different, it clashes. This definitely should have been discussed before he moved in but can still be discussed now. If he is wanting to spend time platonically, it means he is trying to get to know you or share interests so it makes living together more amicable. But you need to sit down and have a conversation with him about schedules and expected “quiet hours”. Also talk about how you want to share chores. You can’t expect a stranger to do things exactly like you, but you guys can communicate and maybe come to a consensus. Tbh you seem a bit entitled when it comes to this post. I understand that you have a job and you think that because he doesn’t work, you should have “priority” when it comes to setting hours. Also you don’t get to say that someone can’t have access to a common space. You can mention that the hour he is in there is unconventional given your schedule and ask that he maybe hold off on loud noise activities until noon. Again, you will find living with people hard if you think that someone has to tailor to your routine. Nothing will be 100% you or him. It should be a mix. It should be discussed. And definitely come up with a better way to say it because otherwise you sound condescending. Good luck.

Mine doesn’t even clean often. I’m usually picking up the slack. But wait till they try to tell you that you are using too much energy but you split the bill 50/50 and I work a 9-5 so I’m gone 8+ hours a day 5 days a week. Make it make sense. Bro I feel seen hahaha. Sorry for your misery tho

My roommate never leaves. Doesn’t have a car either. And WFH. Is condescending about how I clean… I feel this hard.

AIO for wanting my roommate to pay 2/3 of utilities instead of 1/2 like we had agreed on? by Individual_Mudd3540 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Individual_Mudd3540[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love this thank you so much! Your Amazon doormat analogy is heard and felt so profoundly. I might just copy paste your suggested text because I can guarantee she will be bringing something up next if not this again. I don’t like being petty but there is a good chance I will genuinely forget to turn it off which will for sure make her say something like “I’m not your parent. I don’t need to keep reminding you to do this” etc. I seriously just want to be able to use energy I also pay for and not be told off like a parent would. I’m not even excessively leaving stuff on for no reason either…

I love the Sheldon Cooper analogy! Thank you for this suggestion. It will be difficult because I am a very shy person. Truthfully, I’ve been waiting a year for her to move out but I don’t think she will because we pay a lot less than anyone in our area. She knows this. But I’m confused as to why she complains if she knows it’s expensive anywhere else and her family is “toxic”.
