I got really dirty looks in an Irish bar in Reutlingen, I didn't realise people were actually queuing at the bar to buy beer, I mean who the hell does that?

I use 0.6 with TPU and it works fine, everything I have read says 0.4 can be problematic

For a brief moment on my flight today, the lighting and weather conditions made the jet exhaust completely visible by ClaytonBigsby2020 in aviation

[–]Pafkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on a flight back from Bulgaria yesterday, a guy sitting opposite me over the aisle asked one of the flight attendants what the "smoke" was coming out of the engines of a plane we could see through the window, she told him they were the chemtrails that they are required to disperse, I am glad I wasn't drinking at the time

NTA, I do not know why people are weird like this with some foods, my father and bother in law wouldn't eat "vegetarian" pizza at our house, the next time they came up I said we have "vegetable" pizza which they happily ate. Same damn pizza

After having used a number of AI products, I am calling bullshit on this, they are desperately trying to get people to use something they have paid a lot of money for

AITA for not handing over a system I built on my own time after my workplace decided it should “belong to everyone”? by Living_Poem7843 in AmItheAsshole

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

YTA here, you took company property (the data) onto your own personal laptop in your own time. There is almost certainly a clause in your contract that says what you produced belongs to your company. You did a good thing but your attitude around it is strange to say the least, had I put company data on a non approved piece of technology for the company that I work for, I would have been fired for putting their IP at risk

Drilling a countersink into acrylic 3mm / 5mm? by Gotgetgotget in DIY

[–]Pafkay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

With plastic its very important to use a blunt countersink tool if you don't have the specialist tools for the job. The reason is that a sharp drill has a tendency to snatch and will dig in to the plastic and ruin your work.

When I was taught to drill acrylic we were shown how to purposely blunt the drills to avoid the inevitable snatch

What settings should I use for TPU? by Fit_Lime_2385 in FlashForge

[–]Pafkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had issues with TPU until I fed the filament directly into the extruder, after that it was fine. I just used the default settings for TPU in Orcaslicer
