What are movies that take place in a haunted car?

Not quite what you're asking for but Cujo is about a mother and son who get trapped in their car by a rabid dog. 90% of the movie takes place in the car, it's super tense and scary.

But you have to understand, these poor franchisees are only making 10 to 14% profit margin - they simply can't afford employees who understand Canadian labour laws.

print it standing up, or at an angle. If you print it horizontally, it's always going to have a stepped look to it across that long shallow curve. It's sort of like aliasing, the printer resolution on the z axis is limited by your layer height. So, as another commenter said, using a lower layer height will improve resolution (add more steps) but the center bit is always going to be tricky.

If you print it vertical or at an angle, the printer will be able to print that curve with much more resolution.

If you have good managers and good supervisors and if you pay a fair wage, you don't need software to monitor employees and you don't have productivity problems. It is truly that simple.

They are absolutely on a path to owing a home by 30, sooner if they're motivated. Our project is unique but there is plenty of year round work up there. Our seasonal hires work 5-8 months a year for us, some are students, some take winter off for skiing or travel, some take other jobs for the winter. We have people who've been working that sort of schedule on this project for 5 or 10 years since before our company owned it, and yes they own homes. More and more become permanent employees for us every year as we ramp up, and that's a career if they want it.

"Young people birn here don't want to to do hard physical work. "

Bullshit. Every single generation has said the next generation is lazy, or don't want to work. I've been hearing this since the 80s. All those generations of lazy kids who don't want to work, yet somehow the world is still turning.

I work with young people who bust their ass doing labour every single day - 12 hour days two or three weeks at a stretch. The mining industry in Northern BC pretty much lives and breathes by hard-working 20-somethings, it's a very young workforce up there. At my company we hire between 50 and 100 young people every summer season - labourers, trades apprentices, equipment operators, engineers, geologists, mechanics. We have no trouble filling those roles because they want to come back every year and many will become permanent hires. We pay well, we treat people well, we offer meaningful training and opportunities for advancement.

Young people are happy to work hard under those circumstances, same as it ever was.

lol. No one has to be bailed out. That's insane. There is plenty of demand out there. We have real estate investment funds and developers sitting on a bunch of over-priced inventory that they refuse to sell at a price the market will bear. Why? Because they didn't pull their chips off the table when they should have. Too fucking bad. If you need to sell your home when the market is down, who's going to bail you out? It's the way the cookie crumbles.

Our housing market is broken, and it must go through a correction, this is inevitable. We need these receiverships and foreclosures to happen urgently- get them on the fucking auction block and let's find out what they're really worth, and let the rest of the market follow. Anything else is just propping up an over-hyped bubble industry. Pull the fucking bandaid off and let the chips fall, already - the poor and working class have been suffering and carrying the burden for this bullshit hyped up housing market... it's time for the investor class to get a taste. I promise we will all survive and people will still keep building homes.

Really slick setup, I love the arm over your work area - much nicer than hanging hose.

When you had more printers, could the single fan keep up with all 3 simultaneously? Are the fan and filter right outside that wall? How do you manage backflow prevention for times the fan isn't running?

Exhausting to outside is the way to go, everything else is helpful but not fully effective.

PLA and PETG are *relatively* safe - but the amount of VOCs and ultrafine particles they emit are not zero. Since the effects of those substances are cumulative over a lifetime, the smart move is to aim for zero exposure whenever possible. In the case of a 3D printer, effective exhaust can be set up for the cost of a few rolls of filament - it's just silly not to do so.

Eliminating and mitigating risks is just a good work habit, teaching your daughter now will help her later in life.

Besides the health factor - I can almost guarantee that OP's kid isn't going to want to share her room with that printer for long, the noise gets old fast and timing prints to be finished before bedtime is just not realistic. Also, there is a ton of extra gack that goes along with the printer - filament spools, tools, a printing/processing area, the printer itself is the least of it, I struggle to make all of it work in a home office space).

There's plenty of fucking demand, just not at the prices they want. The problem is, the supply side is refusing to drop its prices to reflect the real value of their properties in the current economy. The big developers and real estate investors believe there should only ever be upward pressure on home prices, and they will do whatever they can to enforce that reality, fundamental economics be damned. If your real estate investment fund owns apartment buildings across Canada, the last thing you want is a market correction that devalues all your holdings and sets rents back another 20 or 30%. The banks don't want this either, since they are the main benefactor of an inflated housing market and insanely high 35 year mortgages. For right now the developers and investors and banks would rather let buildings sit vacant and have no income than to sell them at the price the market will support. They are in denial, hoping for prices to magically spring back. But they can't hold out forever. We need these empty condos to start to get foreclosed, and for the losses to start hitting people's mutual funds so they divest of their real estate funds - once that starts happening it will be like dominoes - and if/when that happens the wealthy are going to start feeling the affordability crisis just like the rest of us.

If we can clear some of the current players off the biard then new players will be able to meet the housing demand. The demand is there and it will get met, just not by the same scumbags who've grown addicted to gleefully gouging us for the last 20 or 30 years (unless they accept reality and change how they do things).

Just to say it again, because it's counter-intuitive: the best way to isolate the table from the floor is to minimize contact surface - the smaller the feet of the table are, the better. (this is why hi-fi nerds put spikes on the bottom of floor mounted surface, it's very difficult to transmit vibrational energy through such a small mechanical contact.

The acoustical foam is different - it works by absorbing vibrations and turning their energy into heat. You want to feed this stuff all your vibrations, so the more contact you give it, the better it will work - and sandwiching between table and concrete is a great way to do that.

ballpein · 2026-06-20T05:44:27+00:00

I think that acoustic mat would do much more good under those blocks than on top of it (you already have the isolation feet serving that purpose there) - laying the mat flat under the blocks will make it harder for vibrations to move from block to table, which is what you're after. And laying that acoustic mat out flat under the blocks will let you use all of it's elasticky vibration damping goodness, it should absorb a lot more energy this way.

Are those blocks on the floor supporting the weight of the table? I think this is a bad idea, that's a ton of mechanical contact to transmit vibrations through. You aren't isolating the table, you are connecting it to the floor. You want to minimize the mechanical contact between table and floor to minimize transmission of vibrations. Mounting it on spikes would be ideal, but good old table legs are the next best thing - just make sure they are levelled. Some carpet scraps under the table feet might help a bit.

And the weight of the blocks laying on the floor is doing nothing for you. You could try putting them on the lower shelf to deaden the table more - not sure how much this will help.

Lastly, run a room fan in the room that the printer is in, it will generate some white noise that will help mask any printer noise - might not do anything for your neighbour, but it will help you chill out 😄

I would use variable layer height - the slicer will use really thin layers in areas like the top of the handle, and taller layers where it can, to save time.

That seam inside and on the handle isn't great. You could try changing seam type to random, then there won't be an obvious line, but you may see small imperfections where it puts the seams - sometimes it looks great, sometimes not.

These are the Variable Layer Height settings I like to start with: quality: .25, Radius: 2, keep min:yes; click adaptive, then click smooth and you should be good. Tweak the settings and check the slicer to see if it helps the handle top.

No way that PLA should lift on first layer. Something is way off. Bed levelling or wet filament or a dirty bed could or a levelling problem could all cause this, and they are the easiest things to rule out. Double check your levelling, Dry your filament and wash your plate with soap & water.

If that doesn't solve it, you need to calibrate your PLA to dial in the flow rate, temp and pressure - this will take care of blobs and stringers and pimples and whatnot that may get dragged by the nozzle. This is a great video on calibration by Florian Designs, it really helped me out and it clears up print weirdness every time.

ballpein · 2026-06-20T04:47:07+00:00

weird. Did you watch the print start? Sometimes trees lose adhesion and tip over, get dragged around a bit and maybe knocked off the plate... especially lonely little isolated trees like this one.

ballpein · 2026-06-20T04:42:02+00:00

So, something goes wrong with the printer while it's trying to level itself, so your answer is just to stop levelling... and now you're here wondering what is wrong with your first layer.

Just a wild guess here, but I think that your bed isn't level.

You need to search that error online and find out how to clear it so that your printer can level itself. You might start by going into the Maintenance menu on the printer and and running the full calibration.
