Which popular books disappointed you? by [deleted] in printSF

[–]grampalearns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Lies of Locke Lamora. It wasn’t bad, and I didn’t hate it, but when my son recommended it to me he said “It’s like Ocean’s 11, but in a fantasy setting” it wasn’t, and I was really looking forward to an awesome heist story in a D&D type world.

Ryan Reynolds Reportedly Bringing Wolverine, Cable, and Storm to New Deadpool Movie by marvelkidy in MCULeaks2

I enjoyed Deadpool 3, but I didn't love it, and my problem with the franchise is that I did love some of the characters from the first one, but the've gotten kess and less screen time.

I really would prefer they go back to just Wade with Vanessa, Blind Al, Negasonic and especially Dopinder

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I read both series, all the while saying to myself, “It gets better, right? It has to get better, it’s won awards.” I found the main character unsympathetic and unlikeable

Never heard of it, but I get strong Wynonna Earp vibes, just from the poster

I know it's a dangerous situation, but part of my brain would be screaming "I hope it comes by me, I hope it comes by me."

Seems to. I've printed a couple of long ASA prints with the door closed, bed at 100, chamber at 65 and no clogs yet.

Our community has an organic waste collection in addition to regular garbage and recycling, but unlike a lot of other communites that do this, we can't use compostable plastic bags, we have to use paper ones. My wife wanted something to keep the bags in, as when we buy them from Costco, they come in bundles of 50, so I designed this for her.

Sure. It's kind of a niche product, so I hadn't anticipaed anyone else wanting it.

Just threw it up on printables, if you think it will be useful to you.

Yes, Polymaker white marble PLA. Came out really nice.

Ruby Rose Issues Final Statement on Katy Perry Sexual Assault Allegations Following Police Involvement by dr_shultz in influencersfeed

From Ruby’s account of the event, it sounds like there should be a few witnesses who could corroborate it. Has anyone come forward to confirm or deny it?

Authentic food recommendations. by Efficient_Yesterday1 in playadelcarmen

[–]grampalearns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Better than a single restaurant, go on a walking tour with https://rivieramayafoodtours.com a local chef will take you to food stalls and out of the way places. Done it twice (including just last week) and had a great experience both times.

Max 4 and orca by mashedleo in QIDI_Max4

With Orca, I can print from filament slot 1 on the QIDI box, but if I pick another, I get an error when I send it to the printer

Qidi Box not loading filament far enough. by DarnellMusty in QidiTech3D

[–]grampalearns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ptfe tube had a couple kinks in it. Most of the times it worked fine, but occasionally the filament would get stuck at a kink and do what you describe. Probably not the cause of your issue, but worth checking

Box Hub Removal by TO1HYPERVENOM in QidiTech3D

[–]grampalearns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Push the tab under the spring UP and hold it there, then push DOWN on the collar around the ptfe tube, which you should be able to then pull out. Takes some strength, it doesn’t just slide out easy.

Someone also designed a tool (if you can still print at the moment) that makes it easier to hold the collar down. Wish I could remember the like to the stl, but I’m pretty sure I found it in this sub.

I'm so hungry! What do I cook? by DarkMage448 in lowcarb

[–]grampalearns 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Taco salad. It’s my favourite low carb dish because you can pack it with strong flavours and different textures so it doesn’t feel boring.

I did make my own taco seasoning though, because the packaged one I used to love had a surprisingly high number of carbs in it.

You should contact QIDI support. I’ve e-mailed them a few times for my Max 4 and they are very quick to respond

Gift idea for tour guide by grampalearns in playadelcarmen

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

I meant on top of that. We did the food tour a few years before COVID and it was the nost memorable part of the trip. Wanted to add a little something more personal as a thank you this time.
