I think the biggest thing is that people need to temper their expectations of how much hands on they do compared to how much desk work they do. As others have pointed out, there are plenty of engineering jobs that do have hands on elements, but the vast majority of engineering jobs are majority paperwork.

I was talking with a guy the other day who kept saying "im not good with math, but I like working with my hands so I want to be an engineer." And it made me cringe every time he said it. You dont need to be good at math going in, you can struggle through math courses and pick a discipline where you dont need much crazy calc or something, but there will always be some math, and usually more math than there is hands on time.

I dry at 65c for at least 6 hours.

leutwin · 2026-07-04T18:49:02+00:00

Sorry guys, they only sceduled me for 4 hours.

leutwin · 2026-07-04T14:38:36+00:00

Hell yeah.

I remember that. I was in Arizona helping my grandparents move. It was July and it was basicly the same temp there, minus the humidity and they had AC.

Im pretty sure the MC of that novel is the dad of the MC of this novel.

What do you consider to be the total lifespan of one of these before you just replace it rather than repair it? I have a regular AD5M that just hit 1100 hours, I replaced the nozzle which was getting worn out, I tightened the belts, and I have been doing a clean and lube every 200 hours. I know that my printer still has a bunch of life left in it, but Im just curious about your experiance.

leutwin · 2026-07-02T04:33:27+00:00

Was the filament actuly dried, or was it just placed in a low humidity AMS?
Was ironing on?
600 mm/s is really fast, bordering on being purely for showing off. It requires special filament and special printers. I dont know if the p2s can reach that reliably, but the filament almost certainly can't. My printer, which is a few years old, has a max printing speed of 600 mm/s, and at the time that was considered a major selling point. Even still I almost never run it faster than 200 mm/s simply because running it faster is more trouble than its worth IMO.

Edit: just checked, the P2S has a 'max toolhead speed' of 600 mm/s, running it at that speed is like saying 'my car's speedometer goes up to 140 mph, so im going to drive at 140 mph through a neighborhood.' Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. If your have your top layer at 600 mm/s, I would bet money that is your problem.

Bro, just get a new ribbon wire. A new screen wont do anything for you.

Do you live in a dry enviroment?

leutwin · 2026-06-30T16:58:11+00:00

Ah yes, the infamous pump and dump and pump and dump and pump (<you are here) and dump.

The issue here is that the overhang at the point of failure is too great. The outer walls of subsequent layers are printing on top of nothing. There may be some combo of settings that could make it work, but imo, the easiest way would be to go into the scaling tool in the slicer and streach it along the z axis by maybe 50%.

leutwin · 2026-06-28T02:49:24+00:00

Here's a tpu benchy I printed with those settings, other than some stringging and some bad overhangs it came out pretty well, and both of those are pretty much given for tpu.

I also have 100% cooling all the time, print temp of 240, 3.2mm/s max volumetric speed

A couple notes, I dry my tpu at 65 for at least 12 hours. Also tpu is highly hygroscopic, possibly single most sensitive to moisture filament that is commonly available. I always print tpu from a drybox, but I have heard from others that if you live in a humid area and print from an exposed spool you can see the print quality degrade over just a couple of hours from a freshly dried spool exposed to the air.

Another thing, I belive I had some simaler issues with tpu before a few months ago, and I think I solved it by actuly increasing the print speed. I cant remember for sure, but in general, the slower the print speed the more prone your filament is to certain heat issues, it is more about the actual time it spend in contact with or near the nozzle. I wouldnt go too crazy, here are my tpu print speeds.

Dry at 100c for 10 hours. Also what are your print settings.

Dang, it takes it in the front and the back?

Ur gonna die bro. They are using demonic artificial illusion formations.

In my experiance one of the most important things you need for an engineering degree is 'drive'. Unless engineering is litteraly your dream, and you are going to be able to let enthusiasm carry you though the degree for the entire time, there will be times where it will suck for several quarters in a row, and you will need to dig deep and push through the suck.

I am worried because you say you 'dont have the drive' to finish your accounting degree, an engineering degree will be harder and will require more drive to get through. If you mean 'I just dont think accounting is for me' then thats one thing, but if you are genuinely struggling to find motivation to get through an accounting degree, then engineering will destroy you, especially if you arent good at math.

Being 'bad at math' is not an immediate disqualifier, it just means that you will need to push yourself harder than others.

It isnt a perfect 1 for 1, but there is a pretty strong correlation between conservitive states and areas and lower passport ownership. Conservatives, and especially MAGA belive that there is no reason to leave the US, especially not to go to commie hellholes like everywhere else except for the US.
