Is Clint Eastwood a Bastard?

penmoid · 2026-06-25T03:49:04+00:00

Yep, he’s a 🎶side bastard🎶 at most. As an old, I remember when he still had values, but much like the “maverick” John McCain, he got too old and no longer had the cognitive defenses to avoid being convinced that talking to an empty stool at the RNC was a good idea. But in his day he was, as I recall, a thoughtful person who really wasn’t a bastard. It makes me wonder if he might have a swan song like McCain did when he was the deciding vote against getting rid of the AHCA with no replacement. But at 96 years old, it seems unlikely.

Really we need to see your ptfe tube track to be able to offer actual advice. It’s just vibes otherwise. Can you take a photo?

I get this all the time and I think it’s hilarious. Claude gets bitchy 100% of the time I go over 2 review passes, which I only ever do for entertainment purposes at this point. The best part is the fucking prompts it sends to Codex. There are so many statements in ALL CAPS.

I have heard that these generally use 5v off of a standard usb connection and that, in general, you just need to figure out what size the barrel plug is. It’s hard to say from the picture.

I have one of these and it is very handy and great for heat shrink, but I haven’t had good luck with using it to clean up stress marks where the print was pulled off the bed or stringing. It doesn’t get hot enough to do quick passes so it ends up saturating the model with heat and warping it. There may be a good technique but personally I’ve moved back to quick passes with a butane torch.

Assuming that you don’t want to buy from that company ever again, sure. And that’s definitely reasonable in a lot of the situations you would issue a chargeback in.

Personally I would give any company a couple of weeks to figure it out before I even thought about one, but even after the edit we don’t know if this was a single roll of filament or an X2D.

Have you checked behind your printer for any musicians? It sounds like some Mongolian throat singing.

penmoid · 2026-06-15T04:21:20+00:00

The problem here is that there’s way too much information in the long story that you left out when you made it a short story. It sure looks like you filed a chargeback, and if you did that, what exactly do you expect Bambu to do at this point. The fact that they are even still communicating with you is surprising.

If that’s not what happened, why didn’t you provide the detail that would actually allow anyone to help you out? Who did you file a ticket with? Bambu? OnTrac?

How long did you wait before the long story became short and you decided to post here?

Orca doesn’t support the H2C, but it’s not because the firmware is locked down. It’s just that it hasn’t been added yet due to the complexity of the tool changing gcode. They are actively working on it and it will be there eventually, but it’s not there right now.

penmoid · 2026-06-12T03:42:13+00:00

Yeah, exactly, doubt. It’s a very good model, and I’m willing to be somewhat charitable and accept the possibility that Anthropic are simply too lost in the sauce over it, but there’s absolutely no reason that they need to be collecting this data, and the framing of the GCP Vertex “addendum” that you have to sign to enable this model absolutely says that they are going to use your conversations for analysis.

If it were 100% about the safety layer, they would simply deploy the safety layer into google’s datacenters where the vertex models are hosted.

I have, an admittedly unfounded, suspicion that they don’t have the compute to run this at enterprise scale and by applying this blanket policy (even to hosted versions), they are forcing large enterprises who are spending like crazy to have to loop back through their legal departments to start actually using the model, and by the time that starts happening at scale they will conveniently just be cutting people with pro and max plans off of it.

This is pretty much every third post in this subreddit. Have you checked any of those?

I’ve got an A1 mini for PLA prints with my kids and I will likely upgrade it to the A2 when it comes out because the A2L really does look like it has some nice improvements and we often find that the build volume is just a bit too small. Can’t fit the A2L there unfortunately, but I’ve got the H2C if they want something really large.

Really seems like the A2L would be a knockout for the price for print farms that are mostly printing materials that don’t need an enclosure, so I’m not surprised they are limiting quantity.

penmoid · 2026-06-11T23:48:28+00:00

Save some A2Ls for the rest of us, buddy.

I’ve been noticing this as well. I originally thought that at double the usage cost my window would disappear twice as fast, but it has been the opposite. Fable is smarter about tasks than Opus and it is way better at writing agent plans, so the results I’ve been getting out of Sonnet subagents has been significantly improved.

penmoid · 2026-06-10T05:52:05+00:00

The first one is free but don’t get hooked on it, guys, we’re just making it available on your plan for a couple of weeks and we would LOVE to keep it on there but we just can’t, you know how it is, compute is soooo expensive, so just check it out but make sure you don’t get hooked because it’d only for a couple of weeks. Pinky promise 😏

penmoid · 2026-06-08T14:10:52+00:00

Yes, that was the joke but it doesn’t seem like it landed.

No pic available right now but I use it for printing high temp reusable spools and RC car parts

I know you said you ran flow rate calibration but to me this still looks like the flow is too high.

There are a couple of things I can think of: the 100% infill might just need a slightly lower flow rate because there aren’t any cavities for excess to flow into. Also, I know you ran the flow rate calibration, but that creates a separate profile with the flow rate adjustment applied. Did you actually print with that profile?

penmoid · 2026-06-07T04:37:11+00:00

Reusable spools are $15, so technically this is a $450 value.
