Disclaimer up front: I have very little background in any of this.

Why not do three exposures on three different prices of paper with a color filter in front of each? Green pigment gets the green filter, etc.

Good luck. The company I work at has the exact same problem. Since each system tends to be owned by a different org, and the systems all meet the owning org's needs, you're going to be in for struggle.

Woah, those bullets. I didn't know you could do that.

Great post too!

There is a movement to make it illegal, but the goal isn't to feed the needy. It's to help keep it out of landfills, incinerators, and waterways.

Is the print stopping or does the printer keep going like all is well?

If the printer is continuing like everything is normal, you can surmise that the issue is either the heater, the extruder, or the filament path.

What does your temp graph look like during the print? Oscillations = potential wiring issue, especially if they're not present for the whole print.

Have you caught the printer doing this? Is the extruder clicking? If yes, something is preventing the filament from moving through the extruder. You're either developing a clog or something is preventing the filament from feeding (binding, etc).

If the extruder isn't clicking, and the print continues for a bit, does the extruder slowly chew through the filament? If yes, you probably need more tension on the feed screw. I would still suggest looking for souces of binding.

How long has it been curing and how off was the mixture?

Way too little hardener = will remain tacky

Somewhat too little hardener = will cure, just more slowly

Too much hardener = will cure quickly

The specifics come down to the expoy in question and whether or not the pad their ratio one way or the other to make it easier to use.

If you're only somewhat off, I would give it time and you'll probably be OK. If you're way off, I would still give it time but would be less hopeful.

Except BBQs are often against fire code so they're not allowed 😭

Turning leftovers into fried rice generally results in one of my favorite foods. That's not to say I don't like more upscale options too, but man.

I truly don't get PMs who themselves haven't done the thing they're now PMing. I like to think I make a decent PM because I was a user, got frustrated, made my own version of the thing that was way faster and easier, that saw some success, I learned a bunch, and now I PM that space after I figured out I had much stronger opinions on what a thing should do/be and why that mattered than then actual implementation.

This whole thing is nuts to me. From the way the article reads, the patient was likely still breathing and had a heartbeat. I get wanting to keep organs fresh, but this seems... non ideal

I don't know that I would call Harris cake, but I totally agree that she's far less repugnant than Trump.

It looks like a honey bee to me (obligatory not a bug expert) and don't they have corbiculae? Or are there different kinds of corbiculae?

I'm learning lot about insects posting these photos, lol.

Tons of incremental updates.

Based on the printer in the picture I think you have one of the answers, lol.

The other answer is slicers, but if you're using Bambu's you've also seen that change now.

I agree that building a Voron is a project. I had a Pursa I3 clone (knockoff) that I used to print most of my parts on. If you don't already have a 3D printer you can use the Print it Forward program to get printed parts shipped to you. Parts aside, your first build will take an easy 20-40 hours. This isn't because the build is hard, it's just that the build is long - especially if you want to have your wiring just-so. On the upside, you'll have a very good knowledge of how your printer operates at a physical and firmware+Klipper config level once your done.

Be wary of better. From a quality of life perspective I would absolutely put my 2.4 ahead of a Prusa. For example, I can mechanically level my bed via automation. That said, expectations often outstrip reality. Beware of what you're getting into.

I think you got a lot of good replies, but at a glance no one said "Prusa good!" so here's that reply. Prusa printers are workhorses. They run their own machines in a print farm printing parts for the printers they sell and iterate/bring tweaks into production.

If you look at posts from a year or more ago they'll frequently appear as trustworthy/hassle free options. They've somewhat fallen out of favor from a price to performance ratio, but if you want a hassle free printer so you can just worry about printing they're still a good option.

Jumping in here, a lot of what you said checks Voron boxes. Fast, CoreXY, can print a range of material, completely open source. I really like my 2.4. You can self source the whole BOM from wherever you want. There are a few BOM in a box options, including some put together by US companies (West 3D) but with whatever you buy a decent quantity of the BOM is going to originate overseas.

There's a very large community around the printer, along with tons of mods. The only thing it doesn't do out of the box is multi-material, but there are mods for that.

I do not understand how supporting Trump will result in a better outcome in Gaza 🤷 If anything, it seems like the opposite is likely.

I use a mix of edge and chrome at work and Firefox and chrome at home. In boring work use (not signed into the browser, no extensions, no real customization), edge and chrome feel pretty similar to me. I will happily admit that I am using both basically out of the box and that if you're invested in the configuration of one it might be annoying to switch.

Qualcomm's stuff is within single-digit percentage points of the current-gen AMD and Intel chips both in power usage, performance, and battery life

Back in June, the new Snapdragon X processors were a lot more efficient than their x86 based counterparts. I can personally attest to much lower levels of heat generation.

The problem is that the current tradeoff is that huge amounts of the software you've been using just does not work, and a huge portion of it might NEVER work, because nobody is going to invest time in making it behave.

I agree with the sentiment, but IMO this is a PC and Windows problem. I would also extend this beyond pure comparability. I say this for a few reasons

• I lose about 5% charge/day with my laptop asleep. It does wake up very quickly, but 5%/day feels like a lot. At this point, I don't think Microsoft has a strong incentive to really optimize the kernal for efficiency
• Historic massive variability in hardware across devices also makes it hard to optimize efficiency, although the current crop of snapdragon x laptops seem to have less variability
• One of the strengths of windows is that it can run applications written 20+ years ago fairly reliably. There's a ton of software that's still floating around that hasn't been actively supported in years. I don't see all of these software companies desiring to port their code over, especially without guarantees that the market will adopt ARM (the Apple approach) or until they see the ARM adoption rate go up (the current Windows approach)

All that said, I've had zero issues with emulation so far. I never personally used a M1 max when they launched, but from reports of that era the current Windows experience is at least as good as that.

I own a Lenovo Yoga slim 7x Gen 9, which is powered by a Snapdragon X. It certainly checks the "good enough" box. I use it primarily for photo culling/editing (I'm a holdout dedicated camera user). It is more than fit for purpose there, stays cool, is slim, and although I know the fan has come on a few times I wouldn't have known if it wasn't on my lap. When I bought mine, it was also one of the better deals - you could upgrade to 32 GB of memory and a SSD for under $125 in total. The SSD also isn't soldered, but the memory is. The 3k OLED display is amazing, but if you want the ultimate battery sipper it's probably not the best choice. I still get tons of runtime per charge, but am somewhat sad that I lose about 5% charge per day thanks to the laptop not really being off while asleep.

The biggest downside is linxu support is very hit and miss depending on the laptop in question, which means you're tied to windows 11. I don't have the time to tinker with it, so I haven't looked much further into it than this.
