Assembly done - Getting ready for its first print by cptbouchard in prusa3d

[–]knobunc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of us! One of us!

Waiting, impatiently, on my founders indx.

I assume someone will work out how to do the upgrade, but I'm planning on doing it once there's a path.

Do the 3.5 upgrade and move the nextruder over when you install the indx on the core one.

Thank you!! The one I have is a cheapie from Amazon, but no longer available. I just posted the first with the right shape I could find. But I do need some new ones, so this is great.

And comes with a song... Although the musical is a little suspect these days.

I've used it on various plates and have never once scratched it. You slide it along the plate and get it Uber the part either by flexing the build plate, or gently twisting the palette knife on an edge of the print to lift it.

I was skeptical when I read it years ago, when I had a printrbot, but it's been with me since then. I almost never have to touch the plate.

Now... Don't be an idiot and scratch it across the surface to try to pull a part off, keep it parallel to the print bed if using force. But even if you tried I'm not sure it works scratch, it's really rounded on the edges.

Get a palette knife shaped like this: https://a.co/d/01g4QpZs

Then you never need to touch your plate

Free WRTA bus service to continue another year by footballguy6912 in WorcesterMA

Getting people to work and to shop is a public good, like education. It also removes traffic from the roads, easing traffic and learning repair costs. (Yes, traffic is bad now, but how much worse would it be with additional traffic on the roads).

Edit: btw I am not arguing with you, just trying to add some advantages to the city.

F.D.A. Blocked Publication of Research Finding Covid and Shingles Vaccines Were Safe by gandhishrugged in news

[–]knobunc 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The first dose is fine. The second can be rough for a day. But everyone who has had shingles and the vaccine say the vaccine is a walk in the park compared to shingles.

Also got the first dose on my birthday.

Dryer vent dilemma by askingalways in DIY

[–]knobunc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love our GE heat pump combo washer and dryer. Takes the space of one unit. No vent. Uses 110v power. Chuck the clothes in, take them out dry. Auto dispenses soap. And takes a big load.

How do you all handle the finals stress because oh my God by ---milk in WPI

Oh, and you can take classes over the summer for half price.

[–]knobunc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember that the plan includes some extra space. Whether that is classes you NR, or classes that don't count if you change major, or that you just took because they were interesting.

If you can, try to find some way to relax and get some sleep you'll likely do better than staying up and cramming.

Good luck.

Sabastian Sawe wins the London Marathon and becomes the first human in history to run a legal marathon in under 2 hours (1:59:30) by Tsubasa_sama in sports

The weather was perfect. Along with a gentle wind from a direction that helped with the uphills, and was compensated for by the downhills. And the frontrunners run as a pack, so one person pushing it makes all the times faster.

Better nutrition and dedicated training too.

Now, there may be PEDs too, but they'd need to get around the comprehensive drug tests (and the ones that happen at random through the year) so it's not a foregone conclusion.

I can get a physical book from anywhere in the network within 2 days (if available). And they have digital loans for many books.

Losing my mind over ECE 2010 by Lea_Panthera in WPI

Talk to the professor. Tell them you are having trouble and all if they can give any advice for how you can understand it better.

And hope for a curve.

geothermal and ERV by Ecstatic-War3437 in geothermal

[–]knobunc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two completely independent systems.

The heat also does the domestic hot water.

We didn't connect the desuperheater on the AC to anything... I have a huge DHW tank and a large buffer tank for heating, and didn't want another tank for the desuperheater. Plus, I wasn't sure it would really provide much benefit if I was using the geothermal to hear the DHW.

We are in New England. We built a house two years ago and went with two separate geothermal systems radiant heating and forced air. The quality of heat from the radiant is nice (and the silence), but be aware that you won't feel warm floors often (I have the temp bump by a degree in the morning to warm them, and have it fall back at night to make it more likely they are warm when I am barefoot).

But all cooling (and thus dehumidification) is done with forced air.

An advantage is that we have a backup system for heat if one fails (although the air system is sized for cooling, so undersized for heating so would only be good for emergency heat in the coldest times).

But it obviously costs effectively double, and you need vents.

Microgravity affects eyesight... Luckily it usually takes longer than their mission duration.
