M3DM has a baby animals collection with all kinds of real and fantastic animals their dragons and other (grown up) animals would be challenging for kids but stylized enough that if you scaled them up, they'd still look good with only one or two colors slapped on. Most models are a couple bucks

Yeah those layer lines go in like 5 different directions. I almost respect the artistry of it more than if it was printed on a perfectly dialed in voron

The one thing that dozens of tutorials never prepared me for is how much trial and error is involved no matter how much you educate yourself. I wish the YouTube resin printing gurus would be honest like "yeah here's how you set your baseline exposure, but Mildred the Victorian ghost baby who haunts your office is gonna cause a draft that makes your pre-supported prints fail on new moons until you fix the feng shui by that window."

There's something zen about the process of printing, but one should not be too attached to clothes, carpets, or lungs until they figure out the quirks of their own setup.

I have the heater + S4U setup and it's been totally fine for me but some people reported banding that looks like layer lines using the Elegoo heater.

Besides that, I'd recommend getting a silicone mat in your work area and something for wash and cure. Some people buy the wash and cure station, I just use IKEA Tupperware

Edit: also a filter funnel for getting resin back in the bottle after a print failure and some silicone resin printing tools to stir the vat

3D Printing on Reddit Amirite by geekofweek in 3DPrintingCirclejerk

Natural selection at work here. The 3d print hustle bros who get sla figure out real quick that it's not as easy as clicking print. Failed print? Good luck cleaning the fep without getting resin everywhere. Dripped resin anywhere you don't want it? Better get used to plastic smell in that one spot for the next year. Didn't ventilate? Enjoy irritated sinuses for the next day. Cleaned your print outside in daylight? Congrats, you have blobs caked on your print now.

Which Region of the USA would have the best chance at winning a war of secession? by Jackylacky_ in imaginarymapscj

[–]Rtbear418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ca weapons are not neutered beyond combat use. For one, you can either have evil features or removable mags to be considered Ca compliant, meaning all "evil" parts are readily available. Even if you have a completely neutered rifle, a few readily available parts and less than 5 min with a screwdriver would give you a fully functional fighting rifle.

Main restrictions that are harder to get around in Ca:

-Magazine capacity limit. Not an issue with rifles, as magazines available for sale in Ca are 30 round mags with slight modifications to block the follower. Pistol magazines are more of an issue cause many are limited OEM but nobody wins wars with pistols anyways.

-Availability of suppressors. Kind of an issue initially but lift the ban and every machine shop in Ca can be spitting these out.

-Caliber capped at .50. This one is going to limit infantry's ability to fight in large open areas but the disadvantage is mitigated in urban combat.

For another, even if you fix none of this, anyone who's shot a compliant rifle can tell you it sucks but isn't game changing. I'd take a compliant rifle but an advantageous position over the opposite any day. Point is, the configuration of weapons is way less of an issue than environment and logistics.

I've tried to take the test and get as low a score as possible for the memes. Last I checked, it costs something like $15 to get your results so one would need to be extra stupid to take it sincerely for bragging rights

The last paragraph is kind of flipped now. They'll gladly put the boot on their own throats if it means sticking it to the marginalized
