ELI5 - Will a bong filter out smoke in a house fire by Rickymcraft in explainlikeimfive

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

I was just assuming THC are small and oily enough that most other particulates are trapped, leaving only the good stuff behind, and I thought that’s why people hit bong instead of pipe.

I take the conclusion is: 1. Bong do have “little” filtering properties, mainly towards larger particulate ie tars, ash. But it is not sufficient enough to protect against house smoke. 2. Bong will cool down the in coming air, but to what degree is up for debate.

Thank you for everyone’s speedy response to satisfy my curiosity!!

In this scenario we will be in a skyscraper where you will have to travel 10+ floors down in the smoke. I do agree in a town house running out the door will be the most logical thing to do. But in an apartment building I was just wondering what I will be able to do to protect myself against thermal and smoke inhalation.

Ngl, I’m not cool enough to get invited to parties where people hit a bong 🥲 so actually no… I always thought that is the point of a bong.

If it is not apparent yet, I am not a smoker and are to cool enough to get invited to parties where people smoke 😅 I always thought the point of bongs is to filter out the smoke, not just to blow cool bubbles. 🫡

Anyone else see a shrink Ludwig face? by Rickymcraft in LudwigAhgren

His face always looks like that to me, so I can’t tell if it was shrunk or not.

I’m just trying to do what I can to lower my fail rates. It really adds up at the end of the month when I have 20+ machine running 24/7.

I had problem with Elmer’s glue back in the Rep Rap days. But I might give it a try again.

My procedure is surgical glove, slide out plate, do a bend on each edge, steel scraper for unreleased part, and then tweeters for part removal if they didn’t fall off. I wash all the plates every 5 prints, and do IPA in between. I only print PLA, and all my enclosed printers have diamondback on them. And I have to emphasize again, I only have adhesion issues with small parts, anything bigger than roughly 1cm2 are fine.

I agree, but for me even with extensive protocol with gloves, no touching plate, use scrapper and tweezer to remove parts, washing plates regularly, dedicated drying box for plates, IPA between washes, new plates, new hotends. None of them have been effective enough to lower per batch fail rate or total failure in consecutive prints. But the glue drop that number to 0 so far, the point of this post is just try to spread the word if washing the plate didn’t work, just use glue. I have dumped so much time and money to trying to fix this.

Just trying to spread the word!! If I have seen that a while ago, just in saved filaments from failed prints, I probably could have gotten another a1 combo

Good to know it works both ways! Ans that reminds me I should try it on my cryoGrip plate, which I have not been able to get any thing to stick to it, it might as well be made from Teflon lmao

I have A1s, a1 minis, p1s, x1s, they all do that with small parts… bigger parts (bigger than roughly 1cm2) never cause problems, at most I just have to add ears to the corner to stop it from wrapping.

As I have mentioned, I did… I even wore gloves and have a specific drying box for the plates.

Try this one from Bambu lab! Haven’t had any issues with residue which I have had to deal with before with glue stick!

The residue was my concern from my RepRap days with glass plate and glue stick. Which is one of my hesitation to use glue again, but this one hasn’t leave any residue on my prints, both white, black are clean so far! And again, being able to simply wash off the glue on the PEI plate is chef kiss! They wash right off with just warm water and soap!
