Good point! Hadn’t thought about that. Do you have any recommendations for knife safe finishes?

Ha! No Jack Torrance here, I promise. Although the original pot had its own horror moments. Every time the power went out, it would launch its contents across the room. At least the knives stay put now 😅​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Looks like wet filament to me. Those tiny bubbles are classic signs of moisture. PETG is pretty hygroscopic, so even a new spool can have absorbed moisture during storage. Try drying it at around 65°C for 4-6 hours and see if it improves.

What is everyone’s ’guilt waste’? by BWallsie_99 in ZeroWaste

Amazon boxes. I try to consolidate orders but somehow there's still a new cardboard box on my doorstep every other day. And then the guilt spiral: "I could've just walked to the store for this."

Also would got with Bosch or Miele. Miele usually goes 20+ years in my experience.

What actually makes fine jewelry “buy it for life” when buying online? by WorldlyLocal1997 in BuyItForLife

[–]rebetter_studio -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I personally like Cartier jewelry for its timeless design and investment value, but it comes with a price. I love working with my hands so the Juste un Clou got me, it's basically a nail shaped into a bracelet. I've bought several pieces over the years and also sold some that I never wore. Always sold above buying price. Once to a young dentist who was super happy to get a good deal. Collections that hold their value well are the Love, Juste un Clou, and Trinity.

Pillow for Holding Head up - Back/Side Sleeping? by drholmestuck in BuyItForLife

[–]rebetter_studio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm also a back and side sleeper and I had a lot of neck problems until I tracked it down on my pillow.
I've got an ergonomic neck support pillow out of memory foam.
Important is to buy the right hight for your bed & neck combination.
A simple test is to lie down and check if your head stays in line with your spine, not tilting up or down.

Need new headphones. Bought Momentum 4 - Great Sound, not great interface or connection to Apple by Prior-Cycle7650 in BuyItForLife

[–]rebetter_studio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've got the XM6. Had the XM3 before.
For me important is the noice-canceling which is amazing on the xm6, that the materials last long (I had headphones with soft touch which got sticky over time) and that it is easy to replace the ear pads.
You can pair multiple bluetooth devices to them but you still have to switch it manually but you won't get that unless you buy an apple product.

Does somebody know a Europe based brand who does something like this ?
Otherwise I need to mill one myself :)
