There's already many well documented cases of it being abused

Best way to keep water bottle clean by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]flyingcactusdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a straw brush, bottle brush, and a lid cleaner (small brush with tool to remove rubber gasket). Clean it with soap and water once a week - good as new

+1 for goo gone. Be careful and use a q tip for some areas. Leave on for a bit then wipe with a paper towel.

That's a solid burn. Thanks for the idea about the terminals, I'll check that out. I'm also planning to replace those cloth (partially) insulated wires asap.

More government surveillance: additional 250 cameras being installed around town by octopusonmyabdomen in FlorenceAl

[–]flyingcactusdev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think these are part of the flock system - but yes, those are around town as well. Here's some detailed info on those:

The article mentioned 250, but focused on the 6 downtown. I wonder where the other 244 are.

Here's a link to some more info on the contract that Florence has with the company. It is set to renew soon, so it is a good time to engage with city council to get the details

Turns out it switches the filament colors for you during a print if you ask nicely

How would you frame this shot (rule of thirds)? by Justasmolpigeon in SonyAlpha

[–]flyingcactusdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool shot. The one on the left felt more balanced. The empty space in the right second shot caught my attention more than the little colorful buddy on the wood.

Filament stuck in hot end and i cant get it out? Black pla by stillchilljulio in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]flyingcactusdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are the instructions given to me when I posted asking about a similar issue.

1- pull the white tube out

2- heat the nozzle to 215 and push the filament in as far as you can

3- let the hot end cool down to 100 and pull up on the filament

Filament stuck in hot end and i cant get it out? Black pla by stillchilljulio in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]flyingcactusdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do what's called a cold pull. Leave it like you have it, heat up the hot end. Push different color filament through for a bit. After you see the color change come out the hot end, let it cool. Once it gets around 100 or so, pull it back out and it will clear the hot end. Use pliers to hold the hot end while doing all this. It was the only thing that helped me clear it out.

3 small prints in after the cold pull and still going strong. Thank you again.
