The washboarding happens if you try to squish too much plastic onto a too small area. I had a problem with this until I calibrated my flow rate perfect. At perfect flow rate it is very rare for me - only on very big first layers, so I have chosen to slightly under-extrude.

Loving my prusa core. The indx system was just released for it, so I suggest you wait until the reviews are in, and if they are as good as I hope, then that’ll take care of your multi-filament needs.

My plan exactly. I’m not buying anything at that price until the reviews are in. I need what indx represents in my head, but I’m waiting for indications that my headcanon matches reality, both in terms of functionality, ease of use, and quality.

I’m sure digikey.com has what you need. Ships all over the world, they’re pretty quick, have a huge stock, and doesn’t cost a fortune.

One of those look like a JST connector. I don’t remember the ame of the other end, but it’s pretty common too.

For roughly three milliseconds I thought to myself they shoulda used solar panels instead.

“Oh, wait…”

I built a Prusa Mendel from scratch eons ago. With enough of effort, and a more modern nozzle and extruder, you should be good.

My uneducated understanding/intuition: Mechanical resistance to movement between two surfaces that touch. This resistance is partially caused by imperfections in the two surfaces that cause the surfaces to slightly mesh (which is why the force pushing the surfaces together is proportional to the friction). Also, partially, I am sure there’s some electromagnetic laws at play on the molecular level that resists the movement.

Is it really friction, though? It seems more like a case of one layer inducing mechanical work in the other, which in turn results in loss of efficiency due to inertia and actual friction within that layer.

In other word, I read this akin to an inductive coil moving through a magnetic field and drives a motor with a load. This will cause the coil to resist the movement, but it can hardly be called friction.

Introducing the next generation of OS: Microsoft OS AINT^TM

Combines the best features of NT with an AI agent that offloads everything onto onedrive. Requires an internet connection and a Microsoft account to boot, but that’s OK; once the kernel and the drivers are loaded, you can spend two hours in a dos prompt to be able to load files locally

I came here to state that 90% of answers to any AI questions people may have would be a simple “no”. Seems I lowballed it.

I’d love to say “yes”, but my uneducated guess would that’s not happening before 2027.

It’s hard to design something that’ll fit cleanly with the existing break. It’s not impossible, but I think it’d be easier to replace the mug with an identical one.

Do you still have the broken remains of the handle? If so, some epoxy or other strong adhesive might be able to do the trick.

I certainly hope so. But I doubt it.

It doesn’t take many flight hours to realize how many backups and contingencies there are in a normal SEP aircraft in case something fails.

And the common denominator for all these techbroesque personal air transport vehicles is the obvious lack of any of those.

Yup. Failed spectacularly, which is why they went for mixing boards as a backup solution instead.

Makes sense. As long as the transfer medium isn’t highly capacitive or inductive, it doesn’t matter as long as you compensate for the loss in signal strength.

…and now I fell into a research rabbit hole regarding mud capacitance.

EDIT: Mud is actually slightly capacitive. Source: “Static Dielectric Constant of Water and Steam”, a 1980 journal article by M. Uematsu and E. U. Franck published in Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data

Additional trivia: The term “banana republic” originates from countries best known for exporting high-end audio equipment back in the day.

My knee-jerk reaction is to answer “Like shit”. Mostly stemming from the fact that I don’t have a proper workshop. However, what I do have:

• A “printer room” in the basement. When we were remodeling the bathroom upstairs, this ancient dungeonesque bathroom in the basement was used temporarily. It had a bathtub, a washing machine, and misc other things you’d associate with a bathroom. (Note: Not toilet. That’s a different room). When the upstairs bathroom was completed, the basement one was no longer needed. The bathtub ended up cut in half as I needed to test my new angle grinder, and other than that it was mostly left as is until I figured I could temporarily keep my printer there. Temporary became permanent, and the old unused washing machine is now a “printer pedestal”. One of the first things I printed was a cover for the drain, and then I put in a huge dehumidifier so that the room is nice and dry, despite its original function.
• A halway with a large storage furniture. Its height happened to be the perfect height for standing up kind of work, so I’ve annexed the top, which now holds a PSU, a soldering iron, a bunch of things I’m working on, and a 5x5 gridfinity storage shelf with drawers. A substantial amount of Digikeys overseas revenue is in that hallway.

Either I make them myself, or I grab something from printables.com

Sometimes I use a downloaded model as a starting point and I modify it to suit my needs.

Looks interesting. Without a native linux build I’d have to pass, though.

Anything to distract from the fact that they’re a car company selling fewer and fewer cars.
