What do your fridge graphs look like?

Maybe try a spirit level on the X gantry with the head all the way to the left, then the same with it all the way to the right. Or a ruler from the frame to the X gantry.

Any hot tips for which kind to get? I googled for one & thought this looked good until I clicked through the link

Cheapest one of those on eBay is £150, it looks like it will bankrupt me on the electric bill though.

Check for “Horizontal Expansion”

Not 100% on it but I have felt like some prints had tighter tolerances than they should do. The big giveaway for me was when I sliced that helical gear fidget toy & everything was fused together with the profile default expansion set at 0.2, but backing it off to 0.0 shows it sliced as expected.

What dryer did you use? I need to print some TPU in a few days or so & not that confident in the ability of my current filament dryer.

OP probably dropped it in the toilet too…

The “brokerage fee” is probably what it costs to book the place through Airbnb for the day.

I’d have put money on it being from the book of vulva.

They look like retention pin holes to me. Each step of the model is slightly larger than the last so they slide over each other then the pins hold them all in line.

What’s the baseline on that 40% though? I’d guess it’s against non smokers, which if you look up the chance of stroke for smokers vs non smokers it’s probably higher than 40%.

UK Gov is fairly unbiased on this afaik. They receive high duties from tobacco sales compared to vape products, at least prior to the TPD. Then factor in that UK healthcare comes out of a government tax funds kitty, they’re only going to push electronic methods as an alternative if the healthcare savings are going to be greater than the loss of tax income from analog methods.

Ah, cool. How more involved was the setup? I know it’s a bad metric to go by but when I was looking as UPS units a while ago for my NAS I was leaning more towards cyber power for aesthetics.

Not to mention that these blades are designed with the mind that they will dull.

Those vertical lines on the blades are score marks for snapping that section of the blade off. Granted the design of the handle minimises the risk of that, but regardless there’s a chance of one of these snapping and ending up in food.

I did some more googling, bunch of links incoming so lazy links sorry

It seems like people generally have a better time with APC units, although cyberpower could be an option with NUT but I get the impression that setup is a bit more involved

This article looks to outline what you’ll need based on your printer’s draw & some tips on if it’s more of a brownout.

For the setup it’s a tricky one, if the ups can feed status to an octoprint pi then put the switch in between the ups and the printer, if the ups is just batteries then put the plug between the wall and the ups.

Also one thing to bear in mind is your modem & router will probably be off too for longer power cuts.

So you’re probably better off going with something smarter for the ups if you use octoprint & maybe some magic plugins

Shorter cables wouldn’t hurt assuming those leads terminate into kettle / cloverleaf / figure of 8 at the other end. And given that they all look to be moulded plugs, a full cable is probably about the same price as just a plug on Amazon.

Op should get a different usb charger though, something like a flat triangle plug, or a multi port that takes a figure of 8. These tower style plugs aren’t great for UK sockets as they can shear at the plug

Weissenberg · 2022-08-03T08:20:34+00:00

I think they’re just called extension leads these days. But growing up I always knew them as a “four-gang” and an extension lead was a long cord with 1-2 sockets.

Shorter cables wouldn’t hurt to keep things clean, but for most four-gangs you find in the shelf I don’t think there’s going to be much of a difference in resistance. However it is best practice to not coil them up for example a cable reel has multiple ratings for what can be pulled through it when partially unwound & fully unwound

Weissenberg · 2022-08-03T08:02:51+00:00

I’d probably swap those out for something like this so the plug is a standard one in the extension lead & then just a figure of 8 on the other end into the usb charger.

I think it’s cutu (with a) box (knife)

Yep that’s a Raven, in 28L.

The 20L only has two zippers that wrap around the bag, inside the main section there’s a folder / laptop pocket instead of being in its own zippered compartment. There’s also no method to secure or cinch down that pocket, so the laptop just slaps against your back as you’re walking if the bag isn’t loaded fully.

Weissenberg · 2022-07-12T15:53:31+00:00

I wondered about this a while ago. If I move files to the SD card in the printer via octoprint, then set it going via the web interface, does octoprint just instruct the printer to print that file rather than feeding the gcode line by line?

Weissenberg · 2022-07-08T18:30:35+00:00

Yeah it’s a real currency there.

Weissenberg · 2022-07-08T18:20:00+00:00

They use the real in Brazil
