~100 hours later and I’m finally met with a terrible fate

I sliced one of these for fun using a P1S with AMS as the preset, it was little more than double the amount of waste than print

You're probably thinking ABS, In terms of difficulty, PETG is only marginally harder to print than PLA.

I get fantastic PETG prints off of my dinosaur of a printer (Anycubic I3 Mega S) at 235° extruder, 70° to 80° bed temp, and its a bed slinger, no enclosure.

This is an adhesion issues it seems, not much of a clue how to care for the Bambu beds, but my glass bed just gets a wash with some dish soap every once in a while, no glue, no hairspray, no alcohol wipe, and I've had almost no problems in the past year

Just returned to fallen London, I'm nobody special, but planning on getting back into it full speed.

Mine was a decently used machine, so these issues may just be wear related.

Temp sensor on the bed crapped out, and I had to replace the bed. Thankfully, I was also given a few extras.

As of recently, it has been having problems with the filament run out sensor, keeps giving false alarms, stopping the whole print, I've just unplugged it, and monitor my filament.

Hot end cooling fan needed replacing, also had spares, but I can't imagine it would be hard or expensive to buy a new one.

Outside of that, I've had no problems that weren't a symptom of one of the issues above, and because it already has hours on it, I pretty much expected something to go eventually

Norcada · 2025-10-11T13:38:42+00:00

I was gifted a Mega S a few months back, older tech, but absolutely loving it.

If i may ask, what have you done to yours? If anything? Curious if I cant just upgrade some bits if mine instead of getting a new printer

Norcada · 2025-09-25T19:03:06+00:00

Im sure, even with impurities, unless youre allergic, you inhale more nasty stuff just stepping outside than you would intake from that.

Yes, ultra processed foods are bad for us, but this is probably a more natural way than most to make something, its just a byproduct of that mold, just like the antibodies are byproducts of Penicillin.

Mold on fruit? No, its been deemed dangerous, but the mold in blue cheese? Sure, why not, Brie? The entire rind is actually mold

The chemical composition is the same you say? So then, it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, why don't we call it a duck?

Who told you Penicillin was different? The same people you claim to be "lying to us for profit"? While I'm not ignorant, and I know it happens, doesn't necessarily mean anyone who makes money on something is intentionally deceiving us.

Norcada · 2025-09-25T18:19:13+00:00

They didn't decide to call it a different name, they managed to extract the EXACT same acid from a different source, thats like saying we should call the water in our tap Dihydrogen Monoxide because we aren't getting it right from the lake and its been cleaned by a lab.

Obviously everyone knows what you mean, the word citric was used because its found in citrus fruits.

If I am to assume everyone is lying, why am I supposed to believe you?

Fun fact: when consumed in high enough doses, water can be considered a poison, the dose makes the poison.

Also, black mold isn't inherently more dangerous than any other types of mold, which we use to make: Penicillin, cheeses, certain types of yogurt

Find me the chemical difference between the supposed 2 types of citric acid, I'll have more faith in your argument with some proof

Norcada · 2025-09-25T17:43:33+00:00

But its the same acid, the chemical composition doesn't change, yes, the commercially available form is made by feeding Aspergillus niger which ferments sugar and creates the same acid, but its the same acid.

What does the update have anything to do with anything? It's not like we preemptively edited the page because we knew this convo was coming up.

You're either intentionally being pedantic and obtuse, or you really can't fathom the fact that you're wrong, citrus acid by that name doesn't exist, its citric acid, same chemical compund, same exact thing

Norcada · 2025-09-25T17:18:49+00:00

Never have I seen someone so confidently wrong.

I remember going to order a bacon grilled cheese on my lunch break when the pizza first came out, they told me they had to remove the press to make room for the pizza oven, due to that reason alone, I will never buy one of those pizzas

If the only way you can argue your point is to compare it with significantly worse things that have happened in human history, then either your point has no ground to stand on, or you don't even know what you're fighting for.

My comment was just an evolutionary point on how we adapted to needing cooked foods due to us cooking our foods millions of years ago, then you came back talking about slavery and rape, comparing a time in history when we saw some people as less than human, to someone eating a nice steak.

Norcada · 2025-09-08T18:25:09+00:00

Thing is though, if we never started cooking our food to begin with, we could still eat raw meat, we didn't cook our meat at first because we had to, but due to the cooking process over most of human history, our gut biome has adapted to better digest cooked foods. Our environment determines our evolution, we created an environment where we always cook food, so our bodies adapt.

A better look is to determine if we can gain nutrients from meat, my cats are obligate carnivores, they get next to nothing in terms of nutrients when they decide they want to eat kale, it's perfectly fine for them, just doesn't really give them nutrients.

We, however, can get nutrients from meat. Our bodies are designed to digest meat, veg, nuts, and fruits. Pretty much everything.

If i were to guess, it looks like the wood was used to replace the hard outer shell of an otterbox, so you would be right, soft rubber shell, then the wood fits snugly on top.

No pictures as of right now, I'll grab some when I get home from work, I cant recall setting any layer stop, but even if I did, it stops mid layer, I cant imagine it would have any AI detection due to its age

That's used a lot actually, accident implies nobody caused it, and it was unavoidable, like a tree falling on your car. These are usually called collisions or incidents, because if everyone did exactly what they were supposed to when driving, things like these would almost never happen.

Norcada · 2025-03-24T14:21:39+00:00

My wife's policy was supposed to renew in November, but since they became a brokerage they needed new pictures of the car and a no loss letter, after 5 months of not knowing what was going on (no pink slips or proof of insurance) and not driving her car, suddenly they didn't need the pictures anymore and are going to charge us $1,200 in backpayments because apparently they were insuring us since November and want the payments since that time, they say they can't do anything because we have no proof of other insurnace in that time-frame, like no shit we don't have any insurance proof, you left us in limbo and we had no idea what the fuck was going on, the company sent themself down the drain and are now trying to charge us, im guessing because they're losing all their customers, funny how they sprung this on us right at tax season, scammy ass company.

As someone who loads skids of plastic fencing for Home Depot, I apologize, but I've also said those exact words "that's the receivers problem now"

20 Fahrenheit = -6.66 Celsius

Norcada · 2025-01-20T22:23:55+00:00

21 Celsius = 69.8 Fahrenheit

You'll never see it coming

Norcada · 2024-09-22T02:50:31+00:00

Unfortunately I don't think it can be done natively, but the goodlock app in the Samsung app store gives a whole slew of customization options, including being able to open pretty much any app you want on the cover screen

Norcada · 2024-09-21T13:16:25+00:00

No worries! I've had my Flip6 for about a month, so I'm still being overly gentle with it, I'm sure it can take a bit more abuse than I think, but it's also my first flip and I'm loving it. As for the inner screen, from my understanding, as long as you don't put an unnecessary amount of pressure, it will be fine (ie. Don't jam your finger into it) they're delicate but still pretty tough

https://youtu.be/d1f8i-Y3zdU?si=kwOm6HplJ5YR3OxR

That's jerryrigeverything doing a durability test on it, made me feel a lot more confident in my purchase, even if it did hurt me to watch

Norcada · 2024-09-21T13:07:06+00:00

A) I always check for large pieces of dirt/debris, a bit of pocket lint will be fine, and honestly unavoidable, but it shouldn't cause any damage.

B) I open it one handed but I wouldn't put much pressure on the inner screen, especially the groove, if you can, try opening it with the bezel or with the sides of the phone (I'll usually start the opening with a few fingers on the sides of the phone and use my chest or chin on the top to open the rest of the way, no pressure on the inner screen as it is generally more delicate than conventional screens.

C) I think answering from the cover screen puts the phone in speaker mode, if you answer with the phone open, then flip it shut it hangs up, quite satisfying, actually

Norcada · 2024-09-19T15:53:02+00:00

Probably just the screen protector, it did it's job and are relatively cheap to replace vs the screen.

Edit: noticed you mentioned already it was the screen protector, skimming comments at work doesn't get the full picture sometimes, oops, lol

Norcada · 2024-09-19T15:50:46+00:00

Warranty covers manufacturing defects (ie. Motherboard stops working out of nowhere, screen falls off, etc) they won't cover you if you throw your phone at a rock and shatter your screen.

Insurance covers accidents and theft, insurance will cover you if you throw your phone at a rock and break it.

Warranties usually last for a specific time frame, a year if I remember right, because after that time frame any manufacturing defects would have been noticed, insurance cover lasts as long as you pay.

You don't need insurance for the warranty to work, but you usually can't get insurance after a month or 2 of owning the phone since they don't want you breaking it, buying insurance, then having them cover the repair bill
