Vacation permission? That’s just vacation notification, I’m not going to be there.

It looks like that’s your first layer? Poor bed adhesion coupled with a slight under extrusion might be doing it. You could also try to slow down your first layer dramatically (50% or more slower)

GOP law exists, customers hate it, companies love it - there, wrote all headlines for GOP-written laws

Agreed, these budget printers are a project in themselves. So if you’re into tinkering/modifying/upgrading it may be in your wheelhouse. If you want to get into 3D printing to pick a print off a website and have it print perfectly every time, this probably won’t be a good printer for you.

That being said, getting one of these project printers throws you in the deep end, you’ll learn more about 3D printing hardware, and at an incredibly deep level. If you stick with the hobby, everything after the initial learning curve will seem easy

You probably need to recalibrate your e steps, it varies by printer, but here’s some general instructions

When I hover over the middle of the control bar, in the blank space, I get a pop-up like there’s supposed to be a button there that says “null”. I also hate how big the play/pause pop-up is on screen when you push that button, it takes almost a quarter of the screen!

Shoutout Save It For Parts on Youtube who has been decoding all sorts of satellite data for years.

Potentially rig up some PTFE tube holders that stick to your wall to ensure the filament enters the AMS motors’ yellow areas at a perfectly straight angle, I bet the filament is just getting “sticky” with any drag on those parts.

That’s a really cool upcycle! Nice!

That’s a lot of free time to have during a work day /s

This is very common for Muskolini, any press contacts are often let go, makes obtaining damning information impossible/improbable. None of his companies staff a PR department as far as I know. Why anybody puts up with this guy and his companies is beyond me.

Finished? Factorio?

Great! Goodbye money.

Onshape is an amazing browser-based modelling software. It has a pretty easy learning curve as a bonus!

Here’s the great site about it’s mission and stats!

This was its Ingenuity’s 55th flight, originally the goal was to get “up to” 5 demo flights!

Seems to be that the take away is that yes, there is a budget shortfall, but also that they’re choosing to build new buildings rather than upkeep unnecessary historic buildings. It’d be great if there were more funding, but also, no need to sink money into dilapidated structures.
