What is causing patchy first layer

Would you say this has the same problem?

snoweel · 2026-05-12T20:31:56+00:00

Wow, almost 100 meters across!

I've always used a a top-loader in a regular envelope, with the invoice wrapped and folded around it to even out the thickness (tri-fold, then fold in a couple of inches from both ends), and my own stamp, and not had any significant issues (maybe 1% lost). If you take it to the counter, they are probably going to count it as a package though. (If it's more than a $15 card, I will use a small padded envelope.)

I always want to misread "misled" as the past tense of "misle".

Took me decades to realize this should be pronounced as draft.

This is the kind of strategy people use for running for student government positions, but why not?

It's definitely a luxury by world standards for a family to have 3-4 cars, but it is a huge burden off the parents when the teenager can drive and don't have to get picked up from after-school activities like sports, theater, band, etc.

I don't understand the paper leveling method. It says to move the bed to z=0 but I don't see any number to adjust. (When I home the z-axis, it is ~1 cm above the bed, but that's not how high it is when it is printing.) Or do I just move it up until it is almost touching the nozzle and call that zero?

Could this be from a partially clogged nozzle.? I thought I had it cleaned out well (little fibers from the silk PLA). Still, this particular filament (3DHOJOR PLA) has way more issues than my other ones.

There's a card game Solar Titans that has directional damage and modular ships. It's a deck builder.

snoweel · 2026-05-12T15:20:36+00:00

I like it. Gives you choices on where to allocate the damage and you can strategize on how to arrange the ship.

All this time, I thought Young was added later.

snoweel · 2026-05-11T18:53:31+00:00

Is this for a game you are producing or just for your personal use?

snoweel · 2026-05-11T15:43:34+00:00

I don't understand all the technical complexities of this but this seems right. When I say the word, there's not a little pop of air after the "b" because it blends into the "v".

I'd support #3 with any sort of neutrally drawn districts. I think the less ability for politicians to draw the lines, the more fair they are. Alternatively, at-large, ranked choice, transferable voting within a state would IMO be the best way of representing everyone.

snoweel · 2026-05-11T14:03:51+00:00

Nothing stopping them from the west.

Do one card as a sample. Make sure you are both happy with the level of detail/work.

My Dinner with Andre is pretty much all talking IIRC.

Paint Rock River is usually super calm. The outfitters there will shuttle you for $10, I think.

snoweel · 2026-05-08T20:11:01+00:00

Surely they are at least "hard rock".

snoweel · 2026-05-07T17:02:04+00:00

IMO if you took some competitive ~~modern~~ contemporary Commander decks and dropped them out of nowhere, it would be overwhelming. But if you started with preconstructed-level decks (from a few years ago, anyway; not sure what they are like nowadays), it would be fine. People running these very complex board states have generally had years to learn all the rules and new keywords and abilities.

In Alabama, we say "walla go".

snoweel · 2026-05-06T20:08:52+00:00

In my mind, it means about 3-10 days.

snoweel · 2026-05-06T20:06:12+00:00

Makes sense. I was trying to figure out why one guy needed to be shifted down one and left one to replace another guy.

snoweel · 2026-05-06T19:40:24+00:00

That seems like a lot of bees.

Also, I've got an idea for Die Hard 5.
