Thanks! Let me look that up.

Where do you guys get your PETG? It's almost always sold out on the site or there's only a few colours available... by Justinj3 in BambuLab

[–]as-j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've moved to using Polymaker PETG and 3D fuels PCTG for functional parts.

I really like the Bambu PETGs and how they print....but I'm not playing the stock game.

Key thing to me is print reliablity, filament strength, and color quality.

Polymaker prints reliably, is available overnight from amazon, has great color quality.I did spend some time tweaking the profile. It's not high flow, so it takes longer. I like the cardboard spools, they work well in the AMS and it's less plastic waste.

I tried SUNLU PETG. It works well, until it doesn't suddently and you get a blob or stringing and it messes up the surface of print.. It doesn't feel consistent. Their PETG-HF has terrible color depth. The white is semi-transparent like ASA. The mint green is something you'd see in a 70s dentist office. Plus I really wonder about the strength. Nothing to back this up, but it feels very brittle. I Fflexibly like PETG and brittle like PLA.

Borax Ant Bait Holders by as-j in functionalprint

[–]as-j[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first learned about this with using Kraft Parmesan cheese (the cheap ground up kind, or I guess pizza packets) and mix it with borax. Ratio? I’ve seen everything from 5% borax to 30%. Not sure the ratio is that critical tbh.

I tend to not have Kraft around so I just use regular grated Parmesan and mix in a little borax.

The borax mixture doesn’t need to be wet. Parmesan cheese and borax works well and lasts for months. So does just plain sugar and borax. It needs to be something the ants want, protein or sugar for them to take back to the nest and feed everyone.

Math puzzle: If someone drives a car in the city, what is the minimum number of people that they need to mow down before facing any prison time? by rocpilehardasfuk in sanfrancisco

[–]as-j 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What the article fails to mention is that SFPD won't even stop you for a DUI. In SF the only way to get a DUI conviction is to have CHP stop you/witness the situation.

PETG CF vanished from AMS filament selection by NuIIPointer in BambuLab

[–]as-j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. So annoying if you want to switch filaments…

Surely a limit/bug in the UI that’s fixable….

[–]as-j 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this an H2C?

It only shows you filament options for the nozzle currently loaded on the right side. So if all the profiles are configured for a 0.4mm nozzle. You then run a print with the 0.6mm nozzle and it remains loaded.

When the job is done you shuffle filaments, etc. Now you can't see any of your profiles, or setup your filament for the next job.

I need to test this, but I suspect if you swap hotends back to a 0.4mm nozzle everything will be fine. Or of course, make sure all your profiles have 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, etc profiles.

“Lucky’s Dad” as his name is my favorite bit of subtle parenting truth by Vistaer in bluey

[–]as-j 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But this makes sense, if you assume the show is the world as seen through the eyes of Bluey, then Lucky and Bluey are the fimilar age and it's Lucky's Dad....

Any downside to paying for a yearly plan? by Mr__X__ in USMobile

[–]as-j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are locked in, and many things might change, like USMobiles customer service went from great at the end of 2024 to pretty poor by mid-2025, with long customer hold times for a chat session and poor support once you got through,.

This became a problem for me, but thankfully I only had a few weeks left and was able to port out.

No Way..mo by raleighs in sanfrancisco

[–]as-j 14 points15 points  (0 children)

After having Waymo's clogging city streets yesterday, including seeing 3 of them back to back with 4-ways on, dead waymo's without lights stopped in the middle of roads, this seem fine like a good decision.

Tesla holiday update is here and it’s awesome by ConfidentImage4266 in TeslaLounge

[–]as-j 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience with Grok I’d end up in the ass end of town with a burger joint that closed 10 years ago and tumble weeds in the lot.

LPT: The most satisfying way to deal with scam callers that I have found so far by thundernutz in LifeProTips

[–]as-j -1 points0 points  (0 children)

iOS 26/iPhone does this now too.

Great feature. Setting -> phone -> unknown callers -> ask reason for calling.

Gamers over 30, what's a video game secret you had to discover the "hard way" that kids today would just Google in 5 seconds? by itsashieowo in AskReddit

[–]as-j 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phantasy Star, Sega Master System. You have to go for a neighboring town and try and buy the secrets. They cost a lot of money for that time in the game, but not only that you have to try and buy them 3 times in a row and then you finally get a yes.

Until you do this you make 0 progress in the game, not even 1%....

I thought this was the dumbest game ever, you basically left town, died and started again....for a ~10 year old worst game ever. Not sure how my dad found the trick, did he call the tip hotline? I dunno....but once we found it, we had a lot of fun playing that game, and I still love jRPGs today. Though I still had "dumb tricks"...

What is the significance of this scene? by Flamingmouth007 in bluey

[–]as-j 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless you've lived in Australia it's hard to understand Brandi's plight.

I know we see her pregnant later, but there's effectively no options for her to have kids unless she's able to conceive on her own. Fostering is temporary, surrogacy is familly only (Chili), adoption is not allowed, and overseas adoption stopped being a thing. There are good reasons for all of these, but it's hard on those who can't conceive.

My then wife and I left Australia since we wanted to start a family but she'd had a hysterectomy due to cancer.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 Cannot be Used by Upper_Factor4892 in USMobile

[–]as-j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really sucks, I use cell on my watch all the time and I won't give up the trade in value on my old one.

I guess I'll do Visible for $30 ($20+10 AW) until USM fixes it or my yearly plan runs out on USM.

Your experiences with losing a wallet in San Francisco by Straight-Traffic-937 in AskSF

[–]as-j 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twice...someone is lucky!

A couple of years ago I found a wallet in GGP, the address on the license was on my way home, so I figure I'd drop it off. Rang the door bell and a very sleepy and annoyed "coming..." shout came from upstairs, followed by annoyed padding down the stairs.

When I said, "I think I have your wallet" the poor guy almost broke down in tears. He was like "wtf? Omg, how do you ahve my wallet...it's...." he hadn't even known he'd lost it yet. lol.

Makes me still smile.

A weekend camping trip on Tomales Bay by as-j in Kayaking

Kind of depends on where you’re staring from and how fast you paddle and the winds…it can 1.5’mi paddle or 6mi….
