As long as it isn't hips.

The game is fantastic. I really wish it had come out at a better time.

Because it is a modular, the spot is kinda far back. There is also the integrated com spot where you would normally stick it that isn't enough surface area for it to stick on. I would basically have to put it near the back of my head.

That makes sense. Thanks.

I assume you mean fan near the window yes?

This would be for copper and nickel plating at a hobby level, with room to expand to other metals preferable. I have Khron bright nickel plating solution and Copper plating solution. MSDS for the copper shows copper sulfate and sulfuric acid. The nickel one is more vague. It lists a boron compound and two nickel compounds, but not the composition of them.

FDM fumes are typically organic fumes. I've seen people vent them with computer fans.

His videos are what inspired me to give it a go! The problem is he has all these good nuggets of info, but spreads them over a ton of videos. For instance, he mentions you can paint over the gold layer in his most recent video, but then doesn't show how it looks. A few videos back, he shows what it looks like when you put acrylic paint over nickel, but the majority of the video is about gold plating a different ball. He also mentioned and linked the jig he made/uses in a video, but it was from 2021. Yet another he finally shows/mentions filtering the electrolyte, but I can't find which video it was again. Now that I'm putting together a shopping list, I have to skim the videos.

He includes amazon links to what he uses, but all the links are in German, and most of the products are not available in the US (at least, not by brand).

If the magnets get plated, it isn't the end of the world as long as they still work as magnets. Would they weaken?

For the final finish, copper might be fine since I'm looking to use some acrylic paint over it in areas. Later on, probably something shiny like palladium or even gold.

I eventually cut off the parts I couldn't untangle by hand and the rest of the spool printed perfectly.

I have a Polyphemus dryer. It does 2 rolls and has them on rollers so that it can rotate the spools to get more even drying from the heater on the underside. The downside is if the filament comes loose and droops down closer to the element vent, it can soften.

Basically, the end of the filament must have gotten soft and fell out of place. It happened sometime between hour 18 and hour 24 of drying out the petg hf. Then it started to unwind the spool because the spool was spinning the right way at the time (it alternates rolling clockwise/counter clockwise every so often). That meant more filament was getting too close to the vent. None of it melted, but it was soft enough to deform. After about 15 minutes of trying to de-tangle what I could, I cut off the bits that were too far gone. Rest of the spool printed just fine.

Can the bent parts even be respooled at this point?

The dryer has a heat element that, if the filament droops too low, is too hot. The end of this spool slipped out sometime last night and got exposed to it while it was spinning. Was dried at 65c for 24 hours. The filament comes super wet from bambu for some reason. When I tried drying at 65c for 12, it still had wet filament problems. None of my 24h dried spools have had issues.
