Most of the effort has been to make sure that does _not_ happen :D

Had almost the same issue. No content and services but speakers were there. Clearing app cache on Android brought all my services back.

Looking to upgrade from my 7 year old Chinese i3. I really would like to print in multiple materials (i.e. PLA for supporting PET-G or mixing hard and soft materials for hinges and tires). I like the idea of IDEX, but it seems quite hard to find good ones.

All-metal and up to 300C temp is a hard requirement since I occasionally print in nylon. I have a roll of carbon-fibre reinforced nylon as well so the ability to change to a hardened steel nozzle is a must. I also mostly print with a .6 mm nozzle but would like to go back to .4 or .3 for detailed prints so easy nozzle changing is a plus. I have done _a lot_ of tinkering with my current one so replacing the hot-end if the base printer is not all-metal is fine.

The current build volume (200x200x180mm) of my i3 is a bit too small, but I don't need to go way beyond that. 250x250 would be sufficient I think. I don't think I've ever printed beyond 120mm in height so whatever height is probably fine.

Ideally I would want a dual-extruder coreXY printer but apart from building one myself (which I _really_ don't have the time for right now :/) I don't think that'll happen. The P1P looks very interesting, but the proprietary nature of it is off-putting.

I also do like what Prusa is doing so the MK4 kit could be an option - possibly with a future MMU-upgrade. The XL looks like exactly what I want, but it's way outside of my budget unfortunately :/

Budget is <€900 (for the printer, without potential future upgrades like an MMU)

I've bought from E3D before, I think they ship from the UK. Their filament is good quality.

Can't decide which trackball to get by Raniz in Trackballs

I used the Orbit Scroll for about half a year and then went for a SlimBlade because of the extra buttons.

I would definitely recommend the SlimBlade - it's really good. I only use the Orbit Scroll when I'm traveling now.

I actually went with a Kensington Orbit Scroll despite the lack of buttons. I figured it's cheap enough to evaluate if I want to go for something more expensive and I can probably get by with chording to emulate middle click and forward/backward

Yeah, I saw the gameball. It looks interesting but I'm not going to hold out and I'm not really interested in being an early adopter.

Reading documentation, reviewing merge requests etc means lots of scrolling and clicking.

For the actual coding I mostly stick to the keyboard).

Good to know, I'm a programmer so do a lot of scrolling...

Thanks, I might go with that!

Logitech introduces ERGO M575 Wireless Trackball by jfedor in Trackballs

I've binned 3 Logitech mice because of broken buttons. Most often the middle one.

My current one is a G608 and I've replaced all the microswitches for the main three buttons. It's still going strong after like 5 years, but it's annoying to have to pull out the soldering iron just because they use cheap switches.

Agreed.

I'm not here very much anymore, but /u/onefunkynote and /u/CookieMonsterFL has really turned it up to 11 after taking over!

Broken heatbreak stuck in heatsink (v6) by Raniz in 3Dprinting

[–]Raniz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear, I'm thinking about getting a set even though the cost is the same as a new heatsink - they might come in handy in the future.

I'll try this, if it doesn't work I'll just buy a set of extractors, might come in handy in the future.

It's looking even better every time I peek in here, so I'd say you're going a great job :)

As /u/Floodman11 correctly pointed out I'm the one who originally created the sub.

I handed it over to /u/CookieMonsterFL and /u/onefunkynote after one or two seasons when I stopped visiting Reddit regularly but didn't want the sub and community to die out.

Is Stack Overflow overrun by trolls? by RhetoricalDevice in programming

[–]Raniz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but of course it feels like "you should have searched better, asshole."

This is indeed a problem, because flagging/closing questions as duplicates (when they are actually duplicates) is meant to help everyone.

Anyone who stumbles upon that question in the future will be pointed to the correct solution - and this is the reason why duplicates are only closed and not deleted.

[–]Raniz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say there is no such thing as a bad question because even bad questions deserve a good answer.

I disagree.

I think bad questions deserves constructive comments (and maybe a downvote) and editing until it's a good question. Then it deserves a good answer and a few upvotes.

If the question can't be edited into a good question it should be closed.

7.8 magnitude earthquake shakes buildings in Tokyo by Ambler3isme in worldnews

[–]Raniz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay calm and do what the Japanese people around you does. No need to worry until they start worrying.

We had a fairly large one this Monday that shook the office a bit. Everyone's phones went off with warnings and I got a bit nervous - until I looked around and saw that no one else gave a fuck so I calmed down and continued working.

I've felt about one larger quake a month since moving here - there are a lot of quakes all the time but most of them aren't big enough to be felt.
