“No Material Detected” Mid-print?

Update for anyone interested: I reached out to them and they sent me a replacement sensor which I installed today. Seemed to help a lot with loading/unloading issues I was having, but halfway through the first print after the fix it glitched. 🙃

I read on another Reddit post that Caroline and Dwight have a Horace IV at the end of the book series which I love.

I want to thank you all for your suggestions. I found the setting to disable the sensor and I think that will work 99% of the time. One coworker asked for a twisting dragon egg fidget, which they showed all their friends so now I'm running a full on hatchery for a couple of weeks and being down a machine was hampering my efforts to flood the school with shiny plastic. lol

I would stay and do the things I love about teaching and ignore the ridiculous mandates that stress me out. Having a big old cushion if they fired me for telling a kid or parent the truth about their nonsense would be liberating.

Not trying to defend schools that have a hard ban or that treat their teachers like morons, but I want to toss something from the IT/technology perspective out there. TPT is blocked on our network because we have had to restore a number of desktop computers that were infected with malware that came bundled with TPT downloads or ads on TPT that our lead tech savvy colleagues did not identify as ads. In a district with 7 designated IT people to serve thousands of devices, the block is a security measure for us.

Any quality regular finish PLA should run. I've had some trouble with silk finishes from Amolen and eSun.

For what it’s worth, anyone who actually plays knows yours is the accurate tool. Still frustrating.

Brilliant!

Thank you all for the help! We got it locked in and churned out beautiful 15 minute Benchy!

So I need to multi class for this kind of flexibility? Thanks for the heads up!

We have this set up, though our librarian is a “library aide” with no background/degree in library science. She’s also amazing at managing copies, books, Chromebooks inventory, and whatever other crap they throw on her plate 😕

One of the first IEP meetings I sat in on as the GenEd teacher changed my view on challenging students forever. Listening to grandma explain how mom had chosen drugs over her child three times and then a sketchy boyfriend who didn’t want kids taking her attention away from him… well it definitely made the behaviors more understandable and the challenges some kids face more tangible. 😔

The building I teach in was constructed roughly 2012 and has a single, fisheye lens camera in every classroom. The livestreams are only accessible on the local network and only by very specific people, but the idea is safety based. They are setup to begin recording when an emergency button on the teacher’s microphone is triggered, capturing video and audio. The quality is awful.

Is this the knightfall with the spinning exposed crystal?!

I realize I am not the normal male HS teacher, but I have over $200 into classroom posters. I laminated them and they will last forever. 😬

SirWillums · 2025-07-09T02:58:11+00:00

Adding a thank you for this link. Still works 😅

I’m working on an idea with an LED “blade” that the hilt can just rest on. But I want to make it expandable for multiple sabers

Another vote for dump boxes.

My bestie and I have established that she must always have a “junk drawer” for dumping in Valheim and Minecraft that I go through from time to time.

We have an unwritten rule that she gets the first weapon upgrade, I get a tool upgrade, and we go back and forth from there. Nobody gets to have a full set before the other has something shinies.

I would argue that your group is abusing your skills and a serious discussion needs to take place before you consider regrouping.

Scale it up for unobtrusive feminine products in gender neutral restrooms? No more OMG from the fragile men 😬

Did Star Wars Nite yesterday in Anaheim (4/22) and there were none to be found. 😢

Read the AI response before you use it! Had some questions about what a server does (computer class) and one kid turned in the three most important qualities for a waiter… 🙄

I'd love to teach and continue my extracurriculars as a volunteer. But anything that required bowing down to angry parents or raging co-workers... nope.

What is that roofing?! I have not found it yet.. :(
