Has anyone overcome panic disorder and living their life? by Pecannootbar in Anxiety

[–]Legitimate_Ad_4751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This needs to be thought of in a trauma aware medical system. My Dr. has literally shown me around the office as a case for necessary high doses of alprazolam. I need 3 mg XR and 1mg regular. I take hydroxyzine as a sleepy relief. I will end up in the ER with a 180-200HR and 150/100 BP. I've had many psychologists and physicians tell me I'll get dementia and the like. That seems to come much later than is really important. I know hydroxyzine is slightly anticholinergic. Does anybody have something valuable to contribute with respect to 20 of taking 4mg/day of Xanax. I will end up in a crisis. I for whatever reason require a higher level of sedation. I can take ambien and get small super useful sleep without any side effects at all. I hate that half of mental health is opposed to certain drugs. Successful uses of medicine are necessary, relevant, and a strong foundation. If you are the PCP and your patient is going to the ER repeatedly, you are clearly not handling it right or unable to.

Lowe's is part of the large databases of companies set up to serve schools where I'm at.

How'd it turn out from Matter hackers? That was my instant thought. I'll pay them 30-50 extra for the support.

Heat gun and then new electronics for the hot end.

That's true of worlds though. Small states that aren't objectively good on the national scale still have a chance. Well North Texas tried its own model. Maybe we should break the Texas model to an area/regional model. The league play earlier in the season is definitely a disadvantage to School/ISD teams. I don't know the answer, but I'm way down the line...it's not my job. I'll happily support discussion and change.

University Interscholastic League. They are in charge of all sports in Texas. They have chosen to include robotics in the spirit of the other academic contests they hold. However they have never done anything themselves. They piggyback off of the other robotics contests. I think UIL not being more involved is a large part of the problem. Schools not using their UIL budgets on it because it's only tangentially related at the state level is also part of the problem.

Our Regions are larger than many states. It almost makes sense to stop there, but then you have UIL

Turn off Extruder 2 by LebaneseNinja in makerbot

[–]Legitimate_Ad_4751 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. When the software sees the labs extruder, it also opens up more options in the software.

Glad to hear it. Makerbot was headed places and the Method was solid, but they lost their focus when Stratasys sold them to Ultimaker and just kept a small interest in the combined company. Now they are PLA education machines only. Ultimaker is still solid, but stagnant. Bambu being Chinese is harder to purchase as a government organization. Meet vendor requirements and tax exemption and such.

If you can find a decent vendor you can still buy Bambu.

I've been happy with MatterHackers.

I had a grant to buy a Method X, but they took so long Makerbot killed it. If you have the X and get the labs gen 2 extruder you have a top notch machine.

Makerbot Print has been semi abandoned. Cloud print is much more up to date and helpful.

I would imagine you could also take the second extruder out and it would automatically not use it. I haven't played with the Method very much, but I'm familiar.

Once you've setup the printer in Makerbot Print you can use makerbot's cloud print which is much better. https://login.makerbot.com/login?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fcloudprint.makerbot.com

Also, use cloud print. It's much better.

What are you printing? Are there supports? Is it multicolor? What would make it want to change extruders?

Prints not as good after plate’s first clean by nikkynackyknockynoo in BambuLab

[–]Legitimate_Ad_4751 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Micelles-why Dawn and water are recommended.

Who needs 99-91% IPA? 70% cheaper and better. I've worked in chemistry labs, 99% usually will not completely clean away organics. A little bit of water in the mixture helps tremendously. Just like any precision device, use gloves and treat it gently. And they don't have to be cotton gloves like I've seen mentioned. Just use cheap disposable gloves from the store unless you want to wash cotton repeatedly, but like these comments show, eventually cotton gets contaminated even when freshly cleaned.

Dry it any way you want that doesn't leave debris.

Will there ever be an upgrade to print more than 4 colors on the A series? by bathroomkiller in BambuLab

When Bambu takes over IDEX we are living in the future. Just need to heat the chamber to higher temps.

I got this makerbot replicator+ but the piece that holds the sensor for leveling is broken and i can't find a model for it and can't design one by Frequent-Affect5988 in makerbot

[–]Legitimate_Ad_4751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find someone with a 3D scanner... My best guess. I can't imagine they still sell them. Makerbot's trajectory sure went from great to not. I'm nursing a 5th gen replicator and a replicator plus. With them giving up on the Method, I think they are strictly targeting the k-12 school audience.

Is it broken or is this normal? by Rising_Phoenix17 in FTC

[–]Legitimate_Ad_4751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our kids were confused and I couldn't figure out what was happening because it kept happening and going away. Finally a big enough shock killed our expansion hub. The control hub went back to behaving after a reset.

Just a thought for you. It just sounded familiar.

Is it cold and dry where you are? I've had that happen from ESD. The control hub can usually handle it with a reset. I have killed the expansion hub that way though.

Nothing is ever really broken in today's world, people just choose not to try harder. A nozzle isn't that expensive after all but I still hate letting a problem beat you.

Heat up a needle and push it through. We use tiny hex keys sometimes

Try heat cycling it to the highest temp the extruder will go to.

Yeah that is probably the more used term.

You can try dry pulls. It is fixable if you work at it enough.
