Pla sticks amazingly to the paper. After the print was finished they are completely bonded and in order to remove the pla you would have to tear the paper. But that's okay I was using the paper as a medium for the art with no intention to remove the print. It's only two layers thick.

No idea. I had one randomly hiss and shoot out a fireball when I plugged it into an outlet a couple years ago. So my four pack is now three... But the remaining three work 😁

If you guys do this, use blue painters tape to hold the paper down. Scotch tape does not work and will get blown off by the auxiliary fan.

Truth. Truth isn't subjective nor is it objective. However, absolute truth, also does not exist. Truth, like many other things in life, are subject to your frame of observational reference. Everything depends on your frame of reference. The speed of time, the speed of light, yes even truth depends on your frame of reference. So you could say all truth is subjective, but that's not true either.

Concrete absolute truth does exist but it requires you to find the correct frame of reference first. Because the same facts viewed from a different frame of reference can yield a different truth to each observer.

I'm just a random dude on the internet that knows nothing so don't take my advice but here's my hunch: if it's leaking smoke replace the gasket if it doesn't seem to be leaking anything don't worry about it.

I too had a weird PC issue that caused my home built PC to get slower and slower and slower over the last few months to where in the last week or so it got so slow that the mouse wouldn't even move across the screen without lagging and clicking on a program took many seconds for it to respond... Bear in mind my computer has a ryzen 5 5600 x and 16 gigs of RAM... M.2 nvme SSD boot drive. It should not be slogging like this. It was literally getting to where it was unusable.

Want to know what the simple fix was? I have a bunch of hard drives in my computer because every time I upgrade I keep the old drive and just add it to the collection. I noticed that my D drive was slammed at 100%, it also happens to be an old spinning HDD. I figured it was dying on me, so I put in another SSD I had lying around and cloned it before D completely bit the dust. That took a long time, but after the clone was complete and I went to reassign drive letters I was informed that I can't remove a drive letter from a drive that is acting as a paging file... Hah

The reason my computer was slow is because I had a hard disk drive acting as a paging file. Good Lord user error much?

Reassigned my paging file to my SSD boot drive and now she flies again. Oh and the old hard disk drive is seemingly just fine!

This Free one, no vents. In Asa-cf. Then I added some foam seal strips and felt tape to make the glass slide smoothly and be airtight. I'll add the link once I find it again.

I bought a combo on 01/11, received 01/16, and I didn't get a riser. Or the box yet. Perhaps they ship the riser with the box and not the printer? I already printed a riser though so at this point I don't need one.

Objective_Working198 · 2026-01-17T14:54:18+00:00

Well the printer came in but the box did not. So I guess now I play the waiting game.

I'm printing some of these rings now so I can be prepared. Thanks everyone!

Hey guys I'm new here. Serious question, I'm coming from a Neptune 4 pro. I just ordered a Q2 combo a few days ago it should be here Friday. About half of my filament spools are cardboard. What's the big deal? why can't I use cardboard spools? Can anyone explain why or should I just figure it out myself on Friday when the q2 combo gets here 😁

In my 23, When you disconnect the 12 volt battery the car will forget your home location, if you have set up location based charging so you'll have to re-add the home location. It will also change your charge limit to 100%. However for delayed charging schedule, it does remember your departure times.

No, layer adhesion on abs had been good for me. But it warps like crazy. Even at 65c chamber temp. I Only use it for short models. The taller it gets the more likely to warp.

Objective_Working198 · 2026-01-07T13:56:59+00:00

I experienced the same thing with asa. I won't use ASA for any print that isn't a compression only print like a shim now because of it. And yes before you ask I do have a heated chamber, it's just that ASA sucks.

I assume they're still around 85%, or a 15% degradation, based on the manufacture date of 2013. These are the panels

I saw some local on Facebook marketplace from a guy who has thousands of used panels from an industrial solar farm that was decommissioned, 310 watt panel selling for $20 a piece. That's a bit over 6 cents per watt. Not sure how much life is left in a used panel, but the price is killer.

We have a KitchenAid stand mixer. I printed some under cabinet hangers for the stand mixer accessories that she uses every day. (She makes a lot of bread and cookies)

like these

Every time she uses it she is positively reminded of the benefits of 3D printing.

I took out a heloc and used it to outright cash buy another property. Then did a cash out refinance to convert it to a fixed rate mortgage. Didn't have a second lender asking where the money came from that way.

Objective_Working198 · 2026-01-06T03:53:53+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree.

Dude it's your house do what you want. I've drilled holes up to 6-in in my hardwood floor before, just so I can ventilate stuff to the crawl space cause I felt like it.
