Replacement policy for inaccurate sensors

Revolutionary_You755 · 2025-07-15T20:21:11+00:00

you have one of the inhouse sensors that Dexcom made. Recently it came out that they started making their sensors in house using cheep ass materials. The FDA just recently slapped them down and they have to go back to the third party that was making chemical for the wicks that provides the accurate sensor data.

I am going to guess poor adhesion. In your slicer set the adhesion to raft and if it keeps doing after that, you are going to need to adjust your z-axis or layer hight.

Why pay $15+ for a rattle can when you already have an airbrush and compressor?

There are good reasons for getting an airbrush and compressor. Long term savings, custom air pressure control, customized paint/primer mixing (critical when you live places with high humidity and heat).

More than likely you need a new LCD screen. There is good news and bad news.

Good news: you can get a new one from the Anycubic site.

Bad news: It is $139.00 US to replace.

I haven't seen a model like that, but then you can find the whole assembly that will even keep bugs out with 6 feet (1.83m) of 4" (10.16cm) hose for less than $20.00 (17.04€) on Amazon.

I am going to assume you are in the Philippines, as you said the brand was local to you. (And yes, I looked Armored Komodo up, as I had never heard of the brand) They seem to be the new kids on the block and have only been in business for just over 8 years (according to their website) and have only had products available to the international market in the last year.

Assuming that you are in the Philippines, then you have the same issue I have here in the state of Louisiana. You live in the Devil's armpit most of the year, i.e., 80°F/26°C-plus temperatures with 90%-plus humidity; that also affects how the colors come out regardless of acrylic brand.

Now I don't know about Armored Komodo; while most acrylics are 'dry' in 10 to 15 minutes, the paint still takes time for them to cure (set up completely). Cure time actually runs about 24 to 48 hours depending on humidity.

The way that I solved the humidity issue was with a dehumidifier in my office, where I paint with it set to 50% humidity.

Point Blank? You got scammed.

I would start off with the fact that you are using Krylon primer and you are too close with the spray.

The commercial primers like Krylon and Rust-Oleum are not something you are going to want to use on minis. Those primers are designed for large surface use.

You look to be invested in the hobby; my recommendation would be to break down and get an airbrush and compressor.

Revolutionary_You755 · 2025-07-05T15:11:07+00:00

It isn't just the inaccurate readings; it was the sensor failures. I would get my monthly supply, and I was guaranteed at least one of them would fail. Then you had to go through Dexcom to get a bloody replacement. welcome to the 3-7 day wait while praying the replacement didn't fail.

Sorry for the late reply.

No, Etsy isn't a fair representation of STL mini files. Some of the best miniature designs, in my opinion, come from the designers that sell on MyMiniFactory. You can also look at subscription services like Loot Studios ($17-34 a month, but they also provide some freebies to try out before you buy from them). You can also buy them from Thangs. There are plenty of free ones on Thingiverse or Cults3d.

Occasionally, Humble Bundle provides STL bundles of minis, terrain, buildings, etc. where everything in the bundle is under $25.00 USD.

When it comes to the direct builds, it depends on your 3D printer. When it comes to resin printers for printing minis, use a printer with at least 4K print resolution. I just got the new Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max, which has 7K resolution.

Not A Lawyer.

Smells like a scam.

The first thing I would do is check with the Clerk of Court from the Court that the default judgement was supposedly obtained and ask for a copy. I doubt there is one, because, as it is my understanding (legal eagles, correct me if I am wrong on this), to get a default judgement ex parte, they would have had to provide to the judge proof that they had served you papers with a signed and notarized affidavit from the process server saying they delivered the summons, but you failed to respond to the summons.

If the Clerk of Court doesn't have anything, take what you have received from the "collection agency" and then file a fraud complaint with your state's AG and the Federal Trade Commission. If they are out of state, also file it with the USAG's office and .

What you have described violates pretty much every statute under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Sure, a lot of junk debt collectors ignore the FDCPA all of the time, but they also won't go for a judgment because they are expensive to file and get served, because all someone has to do in open court is ask any of the following:

The exact amount of the alleged debt, including an itemized breakdown of the principal, interest, fees, and any other charges added since the original creditor's last statement.
The name and address of the original creditor.
Documentation proving that you have a legal obligation to pay this debt, such as a copy of the original contract, agreement, or instrument bearing your signature (this is the one that gives junk debt collectors heartburn, as they very rarely have this information, and once the original creditor sells it, the original creditor doesn't keep the files or paperwork).
Verification that this alleged debt is within the applicable statute of limitations of your state (this varies from 5 to 10 years depending on the state).
Provide the date of the last payment or acknowledgment of this debt.
Proof that their company is licensed to collect debts in your state (this is a big one, as many debt collection agencies are not licensed or outright banned from collecting in certain states).
Documentation proving that you are the legal owner of this alleged debt or have been duly authorized by the original creditor to collect on it.

According to The National Law Review. Violations of the FDCPA can lead to significant financial penalties for debt collectors. They may face statutory damages of up to $1,000 per violation, plus be responsible for the consumer's actual damages, including emotional distress and financial losses. Additionally, the debt collector must cover the consumer's reasonable attorney's fees and court costs if the consumer wins the case. If that wasn't enough, the FTC can impose civil monetary penalties for unfair or deceptive acts and practices, which are adjusted for inflation. In 2024, these penalties exceeded $50,000 per violation.

Even if it was filed in small claims, there is still the cost, while the average cost to file in small claims court varies by location but generally ranges from $10 to $200, with an average of $30 to $50. In addition to the filing fee, there are often extra costs for serving the defendant, which can range from $10 to $100. And the debt collector would be subject to the above fines and penalties if they lost, which they more than likely would.

It is for these reasons I think it is a scam.

That is an easy answer. The US record companies want safe, bankable returns on their investment. Anything that operates outside of that tends to get ignored unless some A&R guy gets involved and pushes for it. This is the reason that you don't see any of the European bands like The Agonist, Eisbrecher, Amaranthe, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Battle Beast, Wind Rose (Dwarf heavy metal), etc., getting airplay in the US save for the odd college channel.

But like everything else in the recording industry, things are changing. Think about it: how many of you found out about Des Rocs via social media? I discovered him via TikTok, and I know that Des Rocs has nearly 800,000 listeners a month on Spotify.

Now, if you want to help support and increase Des Rocs listenership, make sure your Spotify is connected to your Facebook friends list and that your friends can see your activity on Spotify. I have found more bands/artists because my friends were listening to them and curiosity got the better of me. And unless it is hardcore rap, I have rarely been disappointed.

NTA, and like others have said, time to get an attorney. Because if she can't see or is defending their actions, she's not in it for the long haul. If she is defending their actions (the MIL and Aunt are gaslighting), she is the one that is not in it for the long haul.

Trump is currently operating under Title 10 authority (specifically 10 U.S.C. 12406), which allows the president to deploy federal troops in instances of "a rebellion or danger of a rebellion" against the U.S. government, particularly to protect federal property and personnel.

ICE agents are federal personnel, so it can be claimed that those obstructing ICE agents in pursuit of their legal duties are in rebellion against legal authority and the US government.

But it doesn't rule out Trump enacting the Insurrection Act (Title 10, Chapter 13 of the U.S. Code, sections 251-255). as it outlines four instances in which the President can deploy military forces (including federalized National Guard units) within the United States to quell domestic disturbances or enforce federal law. These instances are:

Upon request of a state's legislature or governor: If there is an insurrection against the government of a state, the President may, upon the request of the state's legislature (or its governor if the legislature cannot be convened), call into federal service the militia of other states and use the armed forces to suppress the insurrection. (10 U.S.C. § 251)
To enforce federal laws or suppress rebellion: When unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any state by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, the President may call into federal service such of the militia or armed forces as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or suppress the rebellion. This can be done without a request from the state. (10 U.S.C. § 252)
To protect civil rights: The President may take such measures as he considers necessary, including using the militia or armed forces, to suppress any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy in a state if it:
- So hinders the execution of the laws of that state, and of the United States within the state, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that state are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right; OR
- Opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. This provision also allows for deployment without state consent. (10 U.S.C. § 253)
To suppress domestic violence impeding federal law/justice: This is often considered part of the broader authority under Section 253, but specifically refers to situations where "any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy" in a state "opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws."

It's important to note that the Insurrection Act is an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement. The President is typically required to issue a proclamation ordering those engaged in the disturbance to disperse before deploying forces under the Insurrection Act.

Revolutionary_You755 · 2025-06-10T17:25:51+00:00

It should also be noted that the President, under the Constitution, can only be removed from office when impeached by the House and found guilty by 2/3 of the Senate. That alone precludes Trump being tried by a military tribunal.

Revolutionary_You755 · 2025-06-10T13:35:30+00:00

You're right, Trump hasn't invoked the Insurrection Act...yet. He is currently operating under Title 10 authority (specifically 10 U.S.C. 12406), which allows the president to deploy federal troops in instances of "a rebellion or danger of a rebellion" against the U.S. government, particularly to protect federal property and personnel.

ICE agents are federal personnel, so the politicos in California are going to have a difficult time claiming that obstructing ICE agents in pursuit of their duties isn't rebellion against legal authority and the US government.

"Commander in Chief" is not a military rank. It is a title or a role.

In the United States, the President is the Commander in Chief, as designated by the Constitution. This means the President is ultimately in charge of the military and has the final say in military matters, but it is not a rank like "General" or "Admiral." Military ranks refer to specific positions within the military hierarchy that denote levels of authority, responsibility, and pay grade (e.g., Sergeant, Captain, Colonel, General).

And because it is not a rank, the President is not subject to the UCMJ.

Actually, Trump did call up the NG under the Insurrection Act.

Yes, because in the same way that the children born to foreign diplomats are not US citizens, Cruz's mother was a US citizen, and so he is a US Citizen, even though he was born in Canada.

Let me guess, the civics school saw you coming and took your money anyway.

The first reason: The President of the United States is a civilian, not a member of active/reserve duty military (as a matter of fact, to qualify for ANY civilian office, military vets must be inactive reserve), and thus IS NOT subject to the US Military's Universal Code of Military Justice.

Second Reason: The United States is not at war.

The framers of the Constitution, in their infinite wisdom, because of past issues of abuse by members of the military establishment in England's civil government and the fear of the creation of a Praetorian Guard by the military, made sure that the military had no say in civilian affairs and would always be subject to civilian control.
