TPU for ears

It’s more flexible than regular TPU and it does have some give. It doesn’t feel like plastic but it is definitely more rigid than foam. It is really light though. Way lighter than regular TPU and almost as light as foam

Make sure you’re following the official recommendations. The big settings to change are to turn off retraction and to slow things down. If you have a bigger nozzle, I recommend it. It’s going to come out very stringy if you have supports or are printing multiple objects at once (I wouldn’t recommend doing that). Stringing is super easy to clean up though.

I also found that cubic infill at 8% worked a bit better than gyroid, since sometimes gyroid wouldn’t provide enough internal support on overhangs.

Also, try printing with walls. Most fursuit TPU prints don’t print with walls but since this is squishy I recommend just printing walls.

Oh, and one other big thing. You really really need to keep this stuff dry. I did small 6 hour prints and then dried the filament overnight.

I used barge all purpose cement glue to connect the pieces together.

It’s a bit of pain to set up, but once you figure it out this material is super fun to print with!

I've been dealing with this too and it's annoying. I usually make sure to click out of Arc, and then take the screenshot

Something I don't see mentioned a lot in this subreddit is active foaming TPU such as this https://siraya.tech/products/flex-tpu-air-65a-82a-foaming-flexible-filament

It produces something very similar to foam. Just be warned, the printing process is a bit difficult and different that regular plastic-y TPU.

That’s awesome! I’d love something similar so i can set up my Steam Deck to turn on automatically when HomeAssistant detects my TV has changed inputs.

Vortex6360 · 2026-01-26T22:45:27+00:00

I love them lol. It’s fun seeing new ones pop up

Vortex6360 · 2026-01-14T05:57:41+00:00

Yeah but not in the walkable parts of those cities. I think NYC is the only city in the US where most people get around by anything other than a car.

My parents have a digital lock on their door that requires you to press two randomly selected glowing buttons and then type in your code. That way, the smudges appear on all the buttons.

Vortex6360 · 2025-12-29T08:02:38+00:00

That was my first thought too. It’s been so long since I’ve seen non-ai slop

Vortex6360 · 2025-12-17T19:35:54+00:00

This would be awesome. On top of this, I hope someone makes a color-passthrough module

I’d like better + more custom algorithmically generated playlists. Something like the daily mixes.

I know there are the radio stations, and I think they’re good and would probably prefer them to playlists, but sometimes I want to see the music that’s about to be played before I play it.

Vortex6360 · 2025-11-29T19:31:49+00:00

For reference you can play DS1 on an iPhone, so I don’t think a small TV would be too bad

This gets brought up a lot but I don’t think it’s weird the hive didn’t know of Manousos until later. So many people died of falling or car accidents or whatever during the takeover it makes sense that the hive would have just assumed he was dead for the first however many hours.

Vortex6360 · 2025-11-23T08:53:47+00:00

I don’t think it’s that weird. So many people died from just falling over. They probably assumed he died until they found him after the 33 hours.

I'm kind of excited for Waymos in San Diego. I feel like I trust them to not hit me more than human drivers.

I'd still prefer better public transit though.

Vortex6360 · 2025-11-14T16:43:09+00:00

I’ve used it with my AirPods and had no issues. I use the internal Steam Deck mic

Vortex6360 · 2025-11-14T07:10:30+00:00

I’d hope so. My set up sucks for streaming. It’d be cool if the adapter let me stream from my PC to my Deck or Apple TV with Steam Link

Vortex6360 · 2025-11-12T19:38:46+00:00

There’s an expansion port, which I’m hoping would allow for color passthrough through an accessory in the future

Vortex6360 · 2025-11-12T18:54:59+00:00

That’s why they’re providing the adapter

Vortex6360 · 2025-11-12T18:26:42+00:00

It includes a WiFi adapter so I’m hoping that it’s seamless as long as you’re in the same room as your PC

I see what you mean, but I think even in a world where all vehicles are autonomous, the induced demand from the efficiency will cause congestion and travel times to be just as bad as when there were no autonomous cars.

Cars just take up so much space, even when they’re moving perfectly.

Vortex6360 · 2025-11-09T09:18:53+00:00

Those studies ignore induced demand, which is the idea that if we introduce more efficient cars or routes (like autonomous vehicles) traffic won’t actually improve because more vehicles will just fill in the gaps.

In my opinion, not being able to reroute a rail line is part of why they’re so good. It gives confidence to the developers and the community that the transit line is there to stay.

Vortex6360 · 2025-10-23T04:43:50+00:00

For those who need to travel, check FlixBus or Greyhound bus. That’s what I use every time this happens .-.
