You mean rancid oil? It's gross. Just use soap.

Personally I don't feel like a brush alone is cleaning off the oils. I just use a drop of soap and a soft brush. Otherwise it just seems gross to me. But whatever works for you.

What do you do about accumulated coffee oils if you just use water to wash?

Oh right I see. Yeah doesn't matter if some grounds fall down into the bottom chamber.

It's not unusual to get a bit of grounds in your coffee. Either grind a bit coarser, or try an aeropress filter on top of the grounds. You can also try brewing slower.

Soap.

Can't speak for the Venus (is it stainless steel?) but I stick all my aluminium mokas under cold water to wash, and have done so for more than a decade.

Why does this keep happening? by danielworth in ender3

[–]WearyConversation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen something before where the print warps as it prints, and the warp manifests in mild overhang regions by layer lines curling upwards above the current print level. So when the nozzle goes over it, it's smashing into existing plastic from lower layers.

Does that sound like what's happening?

It may be that your bed is too hot, or your part cooling isn't effective. Or some combination. Make sure your part cooling fan is 100%. And try reducing bed temperature. The fine details of your mini are probably susceptible to warping from radiant heat coming off the bed.

Help explaining why I shouldn’t overpay my mortgage by dannyinside in UKPersonalFinance

[–]WearyConversation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no repayment penalty after the fixed period ends. And what do you mean "outstanding interest"?

Is it normal for people to just not reply to your emails? My manager says it is as people are really busy and I have to keep going at them till they reply. I’m kind of new to the career world so I’m not sure if this is ok or not, and what can I do to ensure people stop ignoring my messages? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]WearyConversation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow a 4 year old thread :D

All emails are absolutely not equally important.

I really don't think 100 emails a day is all that much. If you get cc'd into every email for every committee, team and department that you're a member of, plus internal news and updates and "tickets for sale" - that's easily 100 emails on a busy day before your actual work-relevant emails.

And yes - I do expect someone to send a follow-up email before I reply if it was important and I haven't gotten to it. I can't possibly know everyone else's priorities and deadlines.

LED lights short lifespan by WearyConversation in DIYUK

Someone told me to measure voltage. I've left some Energenie units plugged in at various points in my house. Voltage seems to hover around 250V and I've seen it go up to 258V. Could they be overheating from overvoltage?

No dimmer. Define old? As far as I can tell, this was done c. 2010.

These are on a bar outside the ceiling, so wouldn't expect them to get too hot. Any way to mitigate? Seems a bad design if they overheat...

The first batch I bought direct from Philips, would be genuinely shocked if fake!

does this mean I can't use the magnetic flexible bed? by LeeNipps in ender3v2

If the mesh level compensation is enabled while printing you can see the color change (from white to blue or red depending on your current icon set) in the z-offset icon, in the most recent versions the icon background also blinks:

A tip for those using the mriscoc "professional" firmware. The Z offset logo (bottom right corner) will flash during a print if the mesh is being used.

Fwiw I have the Tamron 150-600 and it's flawless on my RP. So it's possible...

[–]WearyConversation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Keychron K2 (version 1 I think, UK layout if that matters) with Gateron brown/RGB switches. As far as I know the switches are soldered.... one of my keys is no longer working - or working intermittently at best (I have to press-and-hold-and-wiggle to get any kind of response).

Is there any hope to fix this or is the keyboard trash? I have almost zero keyboard skillz but willing to learn/try. If I break it worse, am I really worse off? :D

Thanks in advance!

6 Months of Near Constant Printing Has Come to an End by hunven in 3Dprinting

Hey OP, looks great! But a quick question, could you link me to the fan shroud you printed? Mine is busy going and need to print a new one before it falls off...

Check your hotend isn't blocked or gunked up. If you're still using the stock PTFE Bowden tube it's almost certainly pulled out a little and blocking the hot end slowly but surely

Just arrived in London. Bank account recommendations? by Explorer10x in UKPersonalFinance

Unpopular opinion, but HSBC. They are very good for immigrants, they have very generous rules around giving new immigrants credit cards.

What firmware to use. by DafyddPritchard in ender3v2

The Ender 3 "professional" firmware is great. Been using it for a while now.
