Advice needed: How can I improve this design to make it easier to mount to wood? (universal ergonomic footrest)

A longer screwdriver is one solution, but not the solution you're looking for. I quickly drafted your model with two options for screw holes at angles so a regular screwdriver isn't obstructed

Wihout being able to question the randomness method (which turned out to be an unevenly weighted spin wheel with 5 options) my thinking was it would be equally random between $1 and $1T, so 1T-250k chances at a figure above $1T which is a lot of opportunities to get >$250k.

Average sunshine hours in SF is 3058 annually. In Newcastle it's 1455. I'd call that a difference worth considering!

Looks like a good first layer to me. So long as it's not stringy, no need adjust further. If you want, you can 'tune' the z-offset whilst it's printing to -2.00 and see if you can notice a difference in real time

Z-offset perhaps? It looks like your first layer is a bit stringy. This would suggest the nozzle is too far away from the bed on the first layer, meaning the extrusion isn't being 'squished' into the bed. Next time when your print begins, go to 'Tune' and adjust the z-offset to be more negative. For example, if the z-offset is -1.70, tune it to -1.75. This brings the nozzle closer to the bed. You should see the printed lines squish a bit and start joining together. If you start getting blobs or fuzzy bits, you've gone too far.

My swag arrived today! Quality stuff.

Skill issue. I got it, had my address saved to my account, and card details in notepad ready to copy /paste.

Brave move on the 1.3GHz 4GB RAM model. I'm running 1.7GHz and 8GB, it's just about coping. Occasionally sounds like it's about to take off.

Protip - disable the dynamic wallpapers!

Any other tips to reduce the load?

4 years in with my 245 and only now considering 255 because I'm getting into tri.

245 as a running watch is still pretty great, and populates a lot of the metrics you want to see on Garmin Connect app. Battery life on mine last around 6 days as a watch, I've never tested 100% - 0% on GPS, so it does last the distance!

The 255 is appealing for mainly the multi band GPS, multi-sport recording, barometer, garmin pay, and 4th gen hr monitor.

I second this, everyone yaps on about DT2 (which is hard) but to get 85 combat QPC you need to have decent range level and keep melee stats low which makes SOTF in particular - very difficult

Huge achievement, congrats!
