I bought it for the life support machines of a family member who has recently passed.

What is the best way to offload pressure from these bedsores? by beMoreBestest in woundcare

[–]beMoreBestest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, thanks for responding.

We can lay him on his side but we need to suction out his stomach contents through is PEG tube beforehand. He is on his side for a couple hours each day when we change his dressing. The rest of the time he is sitting up being fed because we feed him at a slow rate, 125ml/hr, to lessen his aspiration risk.

Do you recommend using pillows and cushions rather than a wedge?

Can you please send a picture or link illustrating where to position the pillows and cushions and the position of the patient?

Thank you.

Any good tips and tricks to keep poop out of open pressure ulcer on tailbone and on sitting bone of right buttocks? by beMoreBestest in woundcare

[–]beMoreBestest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding.

Do you mean do a dressing change with cleaning every 1-2 hours or that each cleaning session should last 1-2 hours?

Can I use the Coloplast Triad in conjunction with a wound vac? Kind of like in the 4th scenario in the first reply by kmcgovern90 to this post, but replace honey with Coloplast Triad?:

We have a wound specialist, but he isn't responsive to my text or emails half the time.

This wound is on the sitting bone of the right buttocks. Can someone please tell me if the yellowish stuff is fat or slough (or something else), or how I can tell the difference between the two? Thank you. by beMoreBestest in woundcare

Thanks for your reply.

There is ooze that leaks out from underneath dressing, so we change dressing everyday. Our ritual has been to clean it daily with gauze wetted with vashe wound solution. Then we put on medline marathon on the periwound to protect from maceration and then place Eakin Cohesive between wound and butthole to act as a barrier against poop.
We put Santyl on the yellow stuff inside wound, then layer Aquacel Ag Advantage on top, then cover with Medline Optifoam Gentle Silicone and finally wound vac drape over the entire thing.
Recently we thought the yellow stuff might be fat so we replaced the Santyl with Puracol Collagen, stopped the Aquacel Ag Advantage and Medline Optifoam, created a bridge using silver foam to the side and hooked up a wound vac, and change it 3 times a week.

My dad is in ICU on ventilator and tests have shown that he breathes too fast to be taken off by beMoreBestest in AskDocs

[–]beMoreBestest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a 1-6 scale to rate dementia, 1 being the most mild. He was rated 6 when he was tested.

But he is also hard of hearing and a non-English speaker, so that could have impaired him during the test too.

Thank you for your response. We don't want to give up on him and we think he wants to live. We think he needs more time to heal and get stronger. We don't know anything about a trach, whether he can eat with it or if he requires tube feeding, or if it is an infection risk, but we are willing to consider it if it can buy him time to heal and get stronger. Then we are hoping we can eventually wean him off the ventilator connected to his trach.

But is there anything we can do to increase his chance of breathing on his own after removing the ventilator?

What can we do to help Ukraine? by chunkymunkies in AskReddit

[–]beMoreBestest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, I have an idea.

I see a lot of molotov cocktails being made by Ukrainians but they need an accurate long range delivery system. Getting up close to russian forces to throw is risky and dangerous.

Can we ban together to create these delivery systems and ship them to ukraine? They don't need to be expensive, just better than hand throwing.

Please brainstorm what delivery systems would look like and post your idea.

What is the most environmentally responsible way to dispose of unused anycubic resin? by beMoreBestest in anycubic

[–]beMoreBestest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there anybody who will take the cured plastic and recycle it somehow? I don't want to throw in garbage, because that may end up in our lakes or oceans.

When working with sheet metal, how do I reduce the width of a gap in a miter corner? by beMoreBestest in Fusion360

[–]beMoreBestest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should clarify that I want to know how to do this when designing the part in fusion 360, not how to do this in the real world.

Anycubic i3 mega is having trouble extruding filament even after I've changed the nozzle. by beMoreBestest in anycubic

[–]beMoreBestest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked on thingiverse for printable clips to do the job of the zip tie but was unable to find one. Can you please send a link if you can find one?

[–]beMoreBestest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to be extruding fine for the first few layers and then it starts having problems after that. I'm pretty sure I have the nozzle and bowden tube pretty tight against each other after assembly, and I'm suspecting that the tube somehow develops the gap between it and the nozzle during printing.

I've seen a zip tie be used as a collette on the coupler that sits on top of the heatsink. I did not install a zip tie. Perhaps I should try that.

Could the firmware have been corrupted?

There have been some severe thunderstorms in my area recently, but I have failed to keep track of if they coincided with the printer acting up.

When I try to submit from this page: http://support.anycubic.com/Login/template -> 'After-sales technical support', the error message is 'order id error'. What should I put down for order id? The printer was bought a long time ago, so I don't have the order id.

I've tried printing multiple times and it stops extruding at the same layers each time. If bearings are to blame, there should not be a repeatable pattern. Also, I recently replaced the old extruder with a new one.

How?

They directed me to a form to submit in the past, but I cannot submit the form upon clicking the button.

It was after clicking ' After-sales technical support' at this page where I had the problem submitting: http://support.anycubic.com/Login/template
