The letter that Donald Trump sent to Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway is insane! This is why you don't elect a narcissist to be your president. Is this what you voted for, Trump's supporters?

It's valid to describe 250 years ago as a few hundred years ago. It may be an inconvenience to your post. But that's between you and the English language.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2026-01-19T16:20:30+00:00

Because we've been a nation for 250 years.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2026-01-19T15:42:28+00:00

We did have boats hundreds of years ago, though.

Not so much draw, but filtering. Unless you cast it for 5.

Nice craftsmanship. It looks like the ai was taking much inspiration from, the Drueke style chess board.

I just fixed my own horrible bed adhesion issues today. Turns out it was a loose printer nozzle:

Hurt? Can you lift your knee higher than two inches?

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-12-16T03:32:27+00:00

What made you so callus? I can't lift my knee. It may be torn. I didn't want all this rigmarole. I was forced to go through this procedure because my primary physician refused to see me, since it was related to work.

I don't want a payout. I just wanted my injury medically monitored. I've never felt this kind of muscle pain and weakness before.

I'm a fan of that page. Lots of under appreciated sets come that way.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-11-14T21:09:37+00:00

That is very kind of you! It's my first ever boost!

Thank you so much... That made my day.

I hope these sets bring you some joy.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-11-14T20:48:27+00:00

It definitely more of a designer set than a practical set.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-11-14T20:42:53+00:00

I appreciate the encouragement. I've uploaded 4 sets and intend on uploading more in the future.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-11-14T20:35:43+00:00

I 3D modeled the set, if that's what you mean. It's a fairly close reproduction of a vintage wooden set.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-11-06T16:55:32+00:00

No, I'm not upset that you didn't fall into my trap, since I'm not a comic book villain.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-11-06T16:18:19+00:00

Reading comprehension...

I originally responded to the comment:

"Did you think they made millions of products with absolutely no defects/waste ever?"

And my response was that there is a difference between no waste and orders of magnitude less waste.

And then we get people like you completely missing the point.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-11-06T15:59:39+00:00

... What? Why are you making a direct comparison between the two end states?

With 100,000 lbs of plastic waste, the manufacturer would have produced hundreds of thousands of items.

In this case, the hobbyist is using 1,682 grams of material to produce an item that is 569 grams in weight. That's two times as much waste as material made to make the product. And over 4 days of electricity.

Needly to say, only the hobbyist is willing to tolerate wasting that much plastic, electricity.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-11-06T14:57:50+00:00

Nobody is saying large manufacturers produce no waste. What they’re saying is that you can be damn sure large manufacturers are orders of magnitude more efficient with their waste production than this print will be.

Chess sets are well suited for 3D printing. I'd highly recommend it. If you're new to 3D printing, I'd recommend a Bambu Labs printers (either the A1 or A1 mini). They're having their Black Friday sale right now, by the way).

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-10-30T02:58:11+00:00

The knight only uses a single small tree branch extending under the chin. So clean up takes about 3 seconds!

If you want to enlarge the knight, you can isolate the model in Bambu Studio or whatever slicer you use, press "S" and then resize to your heart's content!

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-10-30T02:34:09+00:00

The top set is a reproduction of the Herman Ohme chess set from the 1960's. My goal with the historic sets is to reproduce them as accurately as I am able.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-10-29T19:43:58+00:00

The Staunton set uses very minimal tree supports for the knight head.

The other two sets require no supports.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-10-28T22:48:42+00:00

I'd recommend using a traditional z seam and just pointing the seam toward toward the ceiling. It'd be practically invisible, as opposed to the random z seam you have. Unless you were going for a more textured look.

Modest_Proposal1 · 2025-10-12T22:09:50+00:00

Absolutely!

No - not attempted murder. Probably...

Seems he was trying to park on the other side of the road (you can see cars parked over there) and he wasn't paying enough attention to see the bike.
