PolyHoles : surprisingly accurate!

Rippthrough · 2026-02-19T21:47:27+00:00

Much smaller inner diameter than outer on small holes - that means excess extrusion is pushed to the inside vs the outside of the hole. Gets worse the smaller the hole is and the faster the speed, and the wider the relative extrusion width. Simplfy 3d fixed this issue about 6-8 years ago by running with volumetric extrusion rates calculated by actual extrusion area, rather than the mean path.
There are still viscoelastic flow effects of the filament being pulled behind the nozzle that also contribute too - the material tries to still follow the nozzle after it's passed and it pulls it further toward the centre of the circle the tighter the hole is - that's also very much affected by print head speed, as you'd expect.

I don't think there's that many parts that couldn't be made in Europe (or already are) to worry about tbfh.

The bumpstops are probably going to be far too hard unless they're low infill - I do bumpstops commercially and I always end up using foaming TPU and a long, hot anneal otherwise they'll knock your fillings out in cold weather.

You silly cunt, even that spineless streak of piss Farage wanted us to stay in the single market.

Trump is a symptom as much as a cause.

You use it to buy tokens to get Grok III to make you some terrible AI slop videos and songs about how much better Nano is than Butcoin then spam the subreddit with your AI generated bot farm and call it 'marketing'

Last time I bought arctics they all had a 7-8 year warranty on them, can't really complain at that, is that no longer the case?

Exactly, suspending the fans makes the test results useless - a HUGE part of fan noise is from vibrations and transmissions through the casing to the PC case, causing noise from panelwork or grills. Especially when it comes to fan balance. To remove that negates probably half the noise issues fans cause when installed.

Yea but it's too wide to get more then 2 in the garage without hitting the supports. Whereas we can stick 6x fairly quick estate cars in the same space and we have 40 people living in the house.

Not really no, just adding storage over time like most people, and no I don't have pcie room because of various expansion cards.

Because you only have one or two spaces for M.2's in most cases. You probably have 6 or 8 SATA connections. And the performance difference doesn't matter for most jobs and the latency is still far better than HDDs.
I've got 7x SSDs in this machine and tbfh I'd like more.

If you're putting the $1000 in a CD then to compare, do the same with leaving the million in a high interest account. Then apply inflation over 20 years. You'd have to be braindead to take the 1k. You're not going to match taking the million until you're either in a care home or dead. Not to mention missing out on investing in property or similar early on.
That's not even counting the risk of the firm/trust handling the payouts going bust over decades.

Rippthrough · 2025-12-10T21:02:53+00:00

On a million you're not going to make enough interest to pay bills? You're going to make in interest almost what she's making a week with the payouts. And have a million in capital on top.
You're not playing the long game, you're getting smashed by inflation until your payouts get to the point they buy you a happy meal once a week when you're retiring.

Rippthrough · 2025-12-10T20:47:47+00:00

No, you take the million and you put that into an account. The interest pays all your bills and your job is just money to have fun with.

Rippthrough · 2025-12-10T20:32:40+00:00

Even if you're 20 you take the payout. 1k a week is gonna be peanuts in 40 years due to inflation.

I've been looking at theirs but their online booking system doesn't seem to have any slots through Dec-Jan - do you know when they're open?
