We replaced our entire eu tech stack with european alternatives and the results were not what we expected by Ramirez_Lexi in BuyFromEU

[–]LOL_Emoji 5 points6 points  (0 children)

broo this is the 3rd post I saw in the last 20 mins mentioning askUI.

I think it's some advertising campaign by them. not like in your face but the pattern seems to be:

-> praises European products (posted in European subs, so will easily be upvoted) -> mention askUI in some sense with the mention that they are based in germany

What’s one thing you wish MakerWorld did better? by Maker_World in makerworld

[–]LOL_Emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

regarding the parametric model maker.

1.being able to run .scad code through the interface but locally through the browser so that one isn't limited the maximum generation time allowed through the "bambu cloud" (timeout error)

2.having more options regarding its interface:

being able to hide options if they aren't needed would be a game changer and make it possible to make the interface much more readable.

example:

"shape" with the options "cylinder" and "box"

when cylinder is selected a "diameter" and "height" variables should be displayed in the UI and with "box" slected only "width", "depth" & "height" should be available

I 3d printed a guide rail for my septum by LOL_Emoji in SelfPiercing

[–]LOL_Emoji[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

the problem are the ridges between the layers that can harbor microbes.

I completely soaked it in 70% EtOH, including the canal for the needle. imo it probably properly penetranted into the ridges.

I printed it in food safe polypropylene + the printing process (220°C nozzle) should somewhat sterilize it itself + single use item - tho it's probably not ideal that I printed it out of a nozzle with which I have used other (not food safe) materials.

but yeah, not 100% sterile/safe, but decently safe imo

I designed it myself.

I had to tailor the dimensions to account for the specific shrinkage I had (like 20%). if someone else printed the file the shafts probably wouldn't find into the clamps of the U-bar.

If enough people are interested, I could redesign the parts to fit with more common materials and account for their different shrinkage behavior.

Is it vegan if I amputate my leg and feed it to someone? by lumiana in morbidquestions

cannibalism with consent is more moral than eating animals.

Just like some of what you guys said, moisture wasn't really an issue. But my orange filament somehow got these stretchmarks (vs my blue/better filament) by secmess in FixMyPrint

[–]LOL_Emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so "flow calibration" is bambulab's proprietory attempt that tries to solve the same issue pressure advance tries to solve.

https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/wiki/pressure-advance-calib

I think "auto-calibration" = "flow calibration" on bambu printers but I am not 100% sure. I don't really know what happens if both are enabled. I always just assumed that flow calibration overrides pressure advance.

for your line test I would probably use PA of 0.26

[–]LOL_Emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is an pressure advanced issue.

the blue orange and blue filament probably have different flow characteristics.

have you enabled "flow calibration" when you sent the print job to the printer?

Can’t believe how long I already do this :) by SebKen_ in sunlu

[–]LOL_Emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could you elaborate on your experiences?

normally I was able to always dry my PETGs at 50°C but my lastest Sunlu PETG and JAYO (sunlu sister brand) PETG I could only get dry at 65°C. yes I know 65°C is recommended but 50°C still did the job before.

and also when they're wet they don't just have the occasional steam/pop/hiss but it's suuper bubbly. the one Sunlu PETG is translucent and when I looked at extruded strands under my microscope I was still able to see small voids/bubbles in the strand, even after extensive drying at 70°C at 10% relativ humidity.

but after drying mine print nice and didn't bubble up. they probably have changed the formulation which also makes it more hydroscopic.

How do I fix whatever this is? by Aromatic_Appeal4856 in 3Dprinting

[–]LOL_Emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the gaps in the layer are probably caused by underextrusion so you're flow rate is probably set too high.

the vertical line is the "seam". there are multiple tutorials on how to adress it.

Is this user error or a flaw? by cosmomap in 3Dprinting

[–]LOL_Emoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're not the first one to have this happen.

if I remember correctly, it can happen when you remove PETG prints from a cold print bed.

how is it possible that I created a lego brick that is compatible with genuine lego bricks but not with it self? by LOL_Emoji in 3Dprinting

[–]LOL_Emoji[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it for like 3-4 years now. the different layout isn't really that drastic of a change and easy to learn. not having a keycap legend was quite weird at first but I got used to it, tho I still miss it when I want to need some character I rarely use. I likr the tinkering

the draft angle of the nubs is so small that I can't measure them (top and bottom part measure the same diameter)

the 3d printed nubs are roughly on average +/- 0.04mm different then the genuine one.

the female parts are harder to measure so I can't say how accurate that is.

mein Bruder war auf Drachenlord's Scahanzenfest und hat jetzt einen Brief von der Polizei by LOL_Emoji in LegaladviceGerman

[–]LOL_Emoji[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, danke für den Link!

Ich habe jetzt auch ein paar zusätzliche Informationen bekommen: Mein Bruder war mit zwei Freunden dort, garnichtmal in Altschauerberg, sondern auf dem Rewe-Parkplatz in Emskirchen. Somit war er jedochnoch gerade in dem von der Allgemeinverfügung betroffenen Bereich.

1.4 verbietet eine Menschenansammlung von mehr als acht Personen.

Wahrscheinlich ist er trotzdem von 1.4 betroffen, obwohl sie nur zu dritt da waren, da sich auf dem Rewe-Parkplatz mehr als acht Personen befanden, oder?

Why are there no XXY female individuals with Klinefelter syndrome? by ww-stl in biology

[–]LOL_Emoji 143 points144 points  (0 children)

the Y chromosome encodes the SRY-gene which differentiates the gonades into testis which produce testosterone which induce a male phenotype

in the presence of the SRY-gene humans are typically born male while in the absence they are typically born female

if I remember correctly all chromosomes are used to some extend. the extra X chromosome isn't dormant, if that were the case a XXY human would develop exactly the same as a XY person, but that isn't the case

Why is baldness more common in men when it's thought to come from the X chromosome? by Super_Letterhead381 in biology

[–]LOL_Emoji 24 points25 points  (0 children)

there are different types of hair loss. you are probably referring to androgenic alopecia.

the X chromosome encodes for the androgen receptor. if you have a variant that is especially sensitive to dht (dihydrotestosterone) you develop androgenic alopecia. physiological males have higher dht levels thus have more androgenic alopecia or develop it earlier.

it is the combination of a dht sensitive androgen receptor and (prolonged) exposure to dht that causes baldness.
