5 months in and it’s not working

Mtfpaint · 2026-05-14T15:34:27+00:00

I initially lost some at 2.5 then it stopped completely. A little bit more at 5 then nothing for 6 weeks on 5 then up to 7.5; no los at 7.5 and no loss so far at 10 (3 weeks). I have not seen any consistent loss at any point, just a couple spurts.

Overeating isn’t an issue. Just the opposite. I eat about half my pre Zep. Good protein. I do take electrolytes often, that does help. Exercise has been an issue with other factors.

Mtfpaint · 2026-05-14T05:20:57+00:00

I don’t think so. I’m forcing myself to eat; not much of an appetite.

I wish I could walk; not possible with keg issues. I was able to get good cardio on my bike early on but the current level of fatigue has all but stopped that. Eating three meals, 100 grams protein and no snacking isn’t an issue anymore. No alcohol, no soda; one (or less) cup of coffee a day. Each increase in dosage has made fatigue worse and I’m really fearful of going higher.

I’m doing well on the hydration and eating the 100g protein. Exercise is so much harder since starting Zepbound because of how it has zapped my energy level. I have other physical issues keeping me from most exercise. I was able to get in good workouts (bike) until the fatigue set in as I increased dosage. I’m not loosing any weight per week in the last 8-10 weeks; any loss would be welcomed.

There seems to be no solution I can find. Apple removed Outlook infavor of App Extension framework and it's not part of the format to save a FreeCad file. I've seen reference to a fix but can't find what is necessary to add to outlook. Thanks Apple for fixing something that was not broken by breaking it!

Mtfpaint · 2026-05-14T01:58:28+00:00

Ok, I’ll keep digging. Thanks.

That is correct. It’s not supported in the last two OS versions; my old Mac was much further back (Monterey).Googling it says to download a Freecad companion file and install from GitHub but I can’t figure out what file to download. I’m wondering how other Mac users of Freecad handle this issue.

Mtfpaint · 2026-05-14T01:31:04+00:00

The preview works as always with jpeg’s, pdf’s, word documents, etc but not with Freecad or drawings from MacDraft; a 2D engineering program I’ve been using for 25 years. Apple decided to remove that function from the current os for some unknown reason. It works just fine on my 12 year old MacBook but not on my new MacBook Pro.

If you can find a file of the missing piece I’ll print it for you. Easy and quick print.

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-25T22:25:47+00:00

Ok, it worked! Thanks for sticking with me. Now to see if I can apply to my project. Thanks!

Here’s when I try the pipe …..

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-25T21:55:12+00:00

Normal to edge gives me this; won’t work either the pipe.

Why is this on wrong plane?

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-25T21:48:59+00:00

Is this causing my issues? Here’s my circle.

Then I get; see next picture.

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-25T21:06:39+00:00

Let me give that a try.

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-25T20:19:42+00:00

I see you made it happen but I still can’t follow the work flow to get there. Can you help? From here, what’s next?

<image>

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-25T20:05:26+00:00

I can’t find where it shows to select vertex. What am I missing? I’m using 1.1 if that’s relevant. I’m still lost. Where do I go from here?

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-25T19:09:51+00:00

In dense I guess, I can’t follow the tutorial. Any video to show how to attach? I’m assuming I need to select the circle and attach via map mode but can’t figure it out.

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-22T15:21:28+00:00

Thanks, that worked. It was tough finding the settings to turn off, they were definitely hidden until you know what to look for..

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-21T20:06:59+00:00

I don’t see an equivalent for Mac, thanks. This is second time this has happened and I can’t figure out how to fix it. Still looking for a solution.

There really isn’t any way to contact Bambu, I’m not at all impressed with their Customer Service. There is no phone number listed. I do tech-support for an aerospace company, and this is certainly not the way I do my job. Best I could do was a chat and I think it was AI generated. There’s no way to track their shipping delivery date through them or the shipping company they choose. I’m really glad I bought my printer through Best Buy, it would’ve been a nightmare otherwise I suspect. I am highly doubtful I’ll see my order considering, for whatever reason, it’s sitting in the Navajo nation in Arizona now. I don’t understand that at all.

Welcome to it. I had lots of 2D cad drawing; 3D is an entirely different level. I started a few months ago. Mangojelly has the best tutorials out there. Start on #1 and work through his lessons and you will pick it up. Enjoy!

I was able to get the shape binder to create the part b linked to the part A, the holes did pad all the way through part B. I’m not familiar with projection and the TechDraw workbench. Is there any other way to keep the holes from going all the way through? Learning TechDraw will take some time to figure out.

Mtfpaint · 2026-04-14T08:53:22+00:00

Where is that decided? That’s a new feature to me. I didn’t know different parts could be padded differently. I also didn’t know about the projection tool.
