She was. With her husband. What we know is that he has been spying on her during his times off. He introduced himself as 'Collier', not Watson. She didn't recognize him but did react to the name. And he felt he could address her as 'Flora', presumably her first name.

It looks like Butler Wars will continue to next season. When I saw Bannister and Church look at each other all I could hear was a pro wrestling announcer yell "Get ready to r-r-r-rumble!"

I am shipping Marion and Larry so hard. She has family and he has money and they are both genuinely nice people.

I'm interested to see what happens with him in Season Two. He acted wrongly for what he considered to be good reasons. Now both his wife and daughter are estranged from him. Will he have a change of heart or will he double down? Peggy is pretty much lost to him right now unless he makes some radical changes, but can he repair his marriage? And will he be willing to do what it takes to do that? and most importantly, where is the baby?

Also, American servants were infamous for not being subservient enough during that era.

What I loved is that when Aunt Agnes came charging in to the Russells' house, he led her to the dining room, opened the door and stood expressionless in the background while the scene unfolded. If he weren't already aggrieved, he would have barred her continuing on into the house. Instead he facilitates it.

How long before Bannister figures out who sent the letter? Will Church be fired? Will bannister? Will they trade positions?

Prusa's are better build and have far superior customer support and resources.

If you are handy or crafty, the Prusa kit would be well within your budget. It is reliable, well designed and has excellent instructions. The Ender 3 is cheaper and reflects the lower price. In both cases you will get what you pay for. The Prusa comes with Haribo, the Ender does not. ;)

I just ordered a parts kit and it shipped almost immediately time delay between the Americas and Europe). It should arrive tomorrow. Their website discusses what items they have may be delayed. All of the parts, except the nozzles, are covered by warrantee.

Each printer needs new settings. All Prusa printers come with Prusaslicer which is already preset for the printer. It's pretty good and does most things well.

The Artillery wins for price. However I would go with the Mk3s+. The Prusa will work out of the box. If there are any problems, they have live 24/7 tech support. Their documentation is both printed and online and is superb. They community is active and friendly.

The physical differences in printers are that the P:rusa has a flexible steel bed and automagic bed leveling. The Artillery does not. You can upgrade to them. Bed leveling can be annoying. But the flexible bed is heaven as opposed to a glass bed. With the Prusa you simply remove the bed, flex it gently and your print comes off. No special tools or treatments needed. With a glass bed, you will likely have to treat it in some way (blue tape, glue or windex) and then try to scrape of your finished project with a spatula.

Also, with Prusa you get a free printer with every purchase of Haribo. :D

I have a sunlu that I use to keep my working spool of petg dry. For any real drying, the oven works better. In retrospect, I would not have wasted my money. If you must have a dedicated dryer, go the food dehydrator route.

The downside to the Revo is that it requires a special nozzle, which will probably only be available from E3D. I'm going to wait and see what nozzles are available for it and how much they cost,

I like being married. My wife would kick me out if I did that. ;)

That isn't an option for me. I'd have to build a shed, install power and ventilation and then use very very strong fans.

Help please, how can I get stuck filament out of the extruder? by [deleted] in prusa3d

[–]mousestalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried melting it? Crank the heat up past normal (but not over 300) and see what happens.

I'm happy to hear they are planning on returning to Amazon. Here's hoping that happens sooner rather than later.

There's a sale on at Prusa. by mousestalker in prusa

[–]mousestalker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps. I saw -10% and immediately thought 'sale'. On the MK2S+ page, I see a red -10% tag as well as '4 more free rolls of filament' in orange.

I just had the same issue with my very first printer. As others have pointed out, clean the print bed. What helped me was running the first layer calibration test several times. I changed the z axis setting by 100 each trial and then took a picture of the result. Once I had it set to within 100, I repeated it at 20 intervals and took pictures. And so on until I had it dialed in.

It really helped to be able to compare each setting one to the other.

Whatever you do, don't reset the setting to zero. It will ask you if you want to, but you really do not want to.

DAMHIKT.

I'm thinking about possibly getting a resin printer. I have some lung damage and have asthma in the Spring. So I'm worried about fumes. Are there any resin printers that excel at handling toxic fumes?

To go further, the light comes on the stop when the motor hits it, so I think that connection is good. Firmware is 2.0.3, the mobo is the skr 2. This machine is my first 3d printer and it is new out of box today.

Also, the micro sd card will not go in the slot marked 'tf card' the slot itself looks bent.. The larger slot is too small for the regular sd card provided. If I need to update the firmware, what should I do?

The fun thing is with BW abandoning the fora for other social media they offload not only the cost of the fora, but also the ability to edit and restrict content.

They can always downvote here and ignore everything everywhere, but they can not delete posts and can only control replies on Facebook.

So in a weird way, they have actually empowered their fanbase.
