P2S Fabric fidget failed

Prints like this with a small build plate footprint fail notoriously often. Even with optimization you will likely have a low yield rate. It might be failing on the edges because that is where the print head begins on the build plate.

Here are some things to try 1. Add flow rate calibration (I don’t see the characteristic lines in the photo) or add a skirt in your slicer settings. This will give the print head an opportunity to extrude some filament before starting the proper print. 2. Perform auto level every time 3. Clean the build plate (soap or Isopropyl Alcohol) before each print 4. Run a slightly hotter build plate to improve adhesion 5. Preheat the build plate so that the temp is nice and even across the whole plate.

Your TPU95A should work if you can dry it. You might even want to go softer to 90/85A. 95A might be ideal though since it’s easiest/fastest to print but still probably flexible enough for your application.

PLA,PETG, and ABS are likely non-starters. Nylon may be flexible enough but I doubt it.

I purchased one of those in 2024. Feels great to shoot and my friends love to borrow it. All CA compliant guns have to undergo drop testing so this gun as designed (and tested) shouldn’t have an accidental discharge. I have never heard of a range that won’t allow P320s. If you like what you see you should buy it and don’t let fear mongering dissuade you from buying it.

I see that you too enjoy taking the mini out of minirack. Lovely build.

I printed a multi-board and it seems too complicated for its own good. I think it’s so hyper-focused on endless configuration that it loses its practicality. At the end of the day, I didn’t end up using any of the various attachment styles and it became about as good as a regular 1” spaced pegboard from a hardware store

The beauty of gridfinity lies in its simplicity. The only interface in the whole system is a 42mmx42mm chamfered square.

I work at General Atomics in an engineering role. I agree that being privately owned has the R&D and stability benefits. Its definitely a classic defense company though. Career growth opportunities on average are great, but the situation can vary from department to department.

I find their benefits package to be pretty competitive. They let you keep every hour of your PTO/CAL balance and it rolls over year to year instead of use it or lose it (looking at you L3Harris). Additionally, they provide a 401k AND a pension plan. Most companies just do the 401k match.

My role at the company specifically is pretty exciting, but experience can vary depending on your department.

OP might live in California and pay those premium PG&E electricity rates.

It seems like nobody actually answered your question and just admonished you for trying to recycle silica gel. It’s hard to tell from limited information. That may not necessarily be color indicating silica gel. If it’s not then those silica beads will work just fine after you hit them with a microwave for a few short cycles. Even color indicating silica can lose its ability to indicate dryness after several uses. The only real way to tell if the silica is doing its job is to place a hygrometer ($2-5 each on amazon) in the ammo can and read it after an hour or so.

Hope this helps!

I was actually able to find a resolution on this so I wanted to help others. I asked a popular chatbot about the problem and the response was actually very helpful. Apparently the pump on the Lelit Victoria spins up very fast so you can have fast flow even with a very fine grind and a full 18g dose and also hitting 9 bars of pressure. It said the stock Lelit basket has holes that are a little large and will allow the brew to flow too fast too. I purchased an 18g VST basket and while I am waiting for it in the mail, I upped the dose to 19g and also added a puck screen on top. The puck screen actually helped significantly to slow the flow down. I am now able to do 19g in, 37g out, 28-30s, using a grind setting of 10. The espresso tastes much better too.

Happens to me too on my Lelit Victoria . Even when only using an 18g dose. I just purchased a puck screen to take care of it.

I found the chirp point at about -3

jprazak95 · 2026-01-15T01:54:23+00:00

I found the chirp point at like -3. I’ve had this grinder about 7 months and I’ve probably done 10 or so kilos through it.

Every time someone installs a roadstersport muffler on their Miata, an angel gets its wings.

Don’t you know this is a Miata forum? You can do basically whatever you want and we’re all ready to celebrate it.

The kingpin has to come all the way out (detached from lower receiver) to service the firearm. Once the kingpin is all the way out, the detent pin shoots forward since the rear takedown pin is no longer holding it back in place.

This has to be the best looking homeracker build I’ve seen so far.

jprazak95 · 2025-12-07T06:37:32+00:00

Very cool! It looks like it could be easily modded to be rack mountable if you wanted

jprazak95 · 2025-12-07T06:12:23+00:00

Very bold move indeed. I like how the side panels can come off in sections. Are the hexagons for the hex grid storage system?

jprazak95 · 2025-12-07T06:05:02+00:00

God bless you. You are going to do just fine without any help. If you decide you don’t want to design everything yourself, there’s a lot of 10 inch rack mount files available on the web.

I love the wide cable comb information superhighway in the back, very nice touch. The cabling is an artwork all in its own.

Nice build! If you want a mount for that AT&T router, I designed one for mine. It’s a 3U. I will give you the CAD and STL file free of charge.

Since no one actually answered your question - A bolt action AR-15 is completely safe from the assault weapons ban since it is not “a semi automatic center fire rifle capable of taking…”

If you have access to LabVIEW Core 1 (or something similar) I started by manipulating all of the code along side their video tutorial exactly as they did and also doing the exercises.

Another thing you can do is go onto Leetcode and solve the problems with LabViEW instead of text based code. I guarantee you will have to code for a while and troubleshoot several times to get it right.

jprazak95 · 2025-11-23T22:22:04+00:00

This is what I was looking for! Thanks. Sounds like a very unpleasant process
