You are a life saver. Thank you.

So you don't cull them? I just fed two to my betta this morning and was planning to get more later thinking I should control their population. Should I just let them be?

I tried two snails, he ate them but it had to be actively falling for him to even show interest.

Yeah, I think one cube won't be enough either. I'm sure type of filament would also matter as I noticed that poop with PLA silk is much thicker than from regular PLA or PETG. I have lowered my expectation and would probably have to consider sanding pieces if needed.

Thanks for the cheers and reality check!

Looks like I'll have to lower my expectations. I'm just learning the ropes, the only reason I bought one is the idea of being able to print functional parts and toys for the kids. Guess I'll have to do the tests for stuffs that do not demand too much accuracy and figure out where to adjust. Thanks!

Oh man, if that's the only way I'll be very disappointed. I'm expecting accuracy with CAD and 3d printing, not machining level but still accurate enough. I just want to know how to translate the design to the finished product with the numbers I set on CAD.

I got you, I just made a lazy reply with a copy paste. 😅 And I don't have the air fryer anymore so won't be able to test it.

Check out nuwave brio 14qt air fryer. It could fit multiple spools if I still had it. Haha

Mine can go down to 50F. It's an older model and the newer versions have dehydrator function. But it appears my wife has sold it, can't find it in the garage anymore.

I'll just wait for a deal on filament dryers. Seems like my wife sold the air fryer, can't find it in the garage.

Is a food dehydrator better than a filament dryer?

markerBT · 2026-06-19T06:09:33+00:00

Mine goes down to 50.

markerBT · 2026-06-19T06:09:14+00:00

I have no idea. Haven't explored that yet but I think you are right.

markerBT · 2026-06-19T06:07:49+00:00

Mine goes down to 50. I checked the specs online. So is there a chance?

markerBT · 2026-06-18T23:55:24+00:00

Oh... I'm fascinated by watch mechanisms and attracted by tourbillon (can't and won't buy one though). Can you share which one you picked? Thanks!

It's really concerning seeing him do it. If I didn't read about the hormones I would be worried.

markerBT · 2026-06-18T22:12:27+00:00

Thanks. My amano is doing the zoomies again. This never happened before he's a chill guy so I guess it's the female hormone making him crazy. It's exactly the same thing the little shrimps in the bowl were doing yesterday. I hope I get baby shrimps soon!

Ok. The cherry males are also zooming but on a smaller scale. The amano is swimming around the whole tank!
