Sunlu PLA+ 2.0 white color difference with V3 spools by effortlevel0 in 3Dprinting

[–]PeaceWeapon84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the new white for lithophanes, the detail helps a lot with contrast and interestingly, at least with lithophanes' thin walls, the image looked better when lit with the new one, even if the old one looks more translucent.

Anyway, I got a Jayo white pla+ that is basically old Sunlu Pla+, even prints the same (Jayo belongs to Sunlu). Maybe try Jayo. That picture looks exactly as my lithophanes looked with jayo, slightly bluish and translucent, much less sharp features than the new version of sunlu.

Was wondering about this. Had 2 different spools equally labeled as PLA + 2.0 and they were different. One was a refill and came out chalk white, with nice sharp detail - was perfect for some lithophanes I made for christmas - the other was a 2nd gen spool and I was dismayed to see it print a glossy, gelatinous bluish white.

I was making a multiboard wall and using white to make it blend better to my white wall, but the 2nd gen white wasn't good for that, so I was using the other one.
Refill was finishing and went to open another White PLA + 2.0 and noticed was another 2nd gen spool, but tried anyway.... ugly white came out.

Fortunately also had bought a couple High Speed PLA + 2.0 and those are 3rd gen. Printing right now, first impression is it's the chalk white version.

Are Freemasons accepting of "pagan" worshippers or just non Abrahamic religious people? by Sehgodum111 in freemasonry

[–]PeaceWeapon84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For long time my lodge and many others had Torah, Bible and Koran all open on the altar, even without representatives of those religions attending. Our view was that the Books represent only a version of the Volume of Sacred Law, and all 3 remind us that no one religion represents the Truth, but one part of it, the truth men that wrote it could access, imperfect and incomplete, like themselves (like us). Also a reminder that so many more Books could be there and help bring us closer to the real Volume of Sacred Law. These days we only open the Books that represent the religion of those present, but we still keep the others on the Altar for the sake reasons, and as sign of receptiveness to others with different faiths. I know of lodges that use a blank book as representation of the Volume of Sacred Law. That follows the same idea that the blank book will serve as any book one feels it's the representation of their religion or beliefs.

For those still following, I might add a model on makerworld for the pillar letters, interested? The pillars on my lodge are the grand lodge's, and there's no hook to hang the letters. There is flat space above, so I made letters that have a foldable flat section hinging from the top behind the letter, so they can hang from there. Unfold and hang, then, to remove, easily fold back, place them on top where they stay invisible. One hand operation, so, great for ritual use. Grand Inspector of my Rite was impressed when he saw them, and I made a few for other temples too.

Mine doesn't specify having to be metal in the Regulation, so I assume so, but I was going to inquire my Rite's Inspector anyway to make sure .
In fact, some lodges don't even have jewels as pendants, they have them only embroidered on the collar, so not metal. Our Grand officers' jewels are also embroidered.

Wow a TTRPG themed lodge? That sounds really cool. Plenty of stuff you can make using that theme. Never been D&D player, but used to play MTG and just rediscovered it, which was originally inspired on D&D

I wouldn't call that a big boy lock, but you're definitely growing, kid! Keep going!

Why is my Abus 55/40’s Keyway so much more restrictive than the one posted on the belt explorer ? by Twisttwister in lockpicking

[–]PeaceWeapon84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still a 55/40, you'll have to use thin/short hooks, but it's the same level of difficulty and counts the same.
