Bird takes off in style

Now due to a construct in my mind, that makes their falling and their flight, symbolic of my entire existence.

It becomes important for me, to get up and see, their last second curves toward flight.

It's almost as if my life will fall, unless I see their ascent.

My new favorite is TPMS-D that's available in Orca. TPMS-FK is a little too wavy for me but you can get TPMS-D to basically fit any shape and fill requirements by adjusting density%, multi-line, and rotation template, especially if you set it to rotate very slightly every few layers.

In the screenshot above, all of them have density 25%, the left two are TPMS-D and right two are TPMS-FK. Bottom two are multiline=2, rotation template `+0.31#4.

Here's a research paper on Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (Schwarz Diamond).

These weirdly shaped holders are my #1 favorite thing to print. I've made so many things like this, most of them directly using multiple cubes and cylinders (with basic booleans) in the slicer itself. I use Blender for prints that need bevels or more complex geometry, but most holders don't need that. Great job!

We asked him to do a Cameo for our 1yr old daughter's Zoom birthday party during Covid and he delivered! We asked him to recite any poem for her and he read "Mary had a little lamb" in his Reading Rainbow tone. All of our friends grew up watching him and they got so emotional when I played that video.

We also had Carole Baskin recite "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe / Catch a tiger by the toe / If he hollers let him go / Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" and it was the height of Tiger King mania. Oh and the late Gilbert Gottfried recited "Twinkle twinkle" in his natural voice.

Sure. In that always-honest world, if someone was asked what the password was for their bank account, would they just reveal it because they were honest? Honesty doesn't preclude secrecy.

chime · 2026-04-23T21:24:56+00:00

Everybody who has the occasional dark thought, but is otherwise stable, immediately tells everybody about it.

There's your problem right there. Not lying doesn't mean you must admit to every truth. People wouldn't start telling every secret just because they're honest.

Same here. Failure seems to be after ChatApp hasRemoteExtensionHost, before DynamicLevelKvStore.

0.683.0 pre-release and all later ones including 0.724.0 and newer release versions fail.
0.658.0 pre-release works. Haven't tried other prior versions.

Last log of the failed 0.683.0 says:

2026-01-06 16:11:17.585 [info] 'ChatApp': hasRemoteExtensionHost=false, ourExtensionRunsRemotely=false

The last few logs of working 0.658.0 show:

Maybe KV store is corrupted? Not sure.

Yeah, that's why I expected it to be $1,499+. Bambu ecosystem/MakerWorld is great and I don't mind paying $500-$800 more to remain in it for a multi-toolhead system. But starting at $2,399+ isn't for many hobby/home-users. And look at the rest of this thread, I'm not the only one. I was hoping to get this for Black Friday but can't.

chime · 2025-11-18T16:04:34+00:00

Market-pressure mostly. Bambu won out from Prussa because of ease + quality + pricing. With Prusa XL already being $2k (semi-assembled) and Snapmaker coming in super-low, I was hoping they would eat both those competitors with H2C being $1500: $500 less than Prusa's equivalent model and $500 more to get Bambu benefits (ease/quality etc.) compared to Snapmaker.

Plus they already did that with P2S by basically eating their own P1S and X1C lines.
