Because it’s easy. You don’t have to think for yourself if you let someone else do it.

A patchwork of things has helped me acquire and maintain a more balanced life. I’d say the largest contributor was adopting ‘radical acceptance’ as a way of life. Basically, I’m constantly, consciously accepting whatever is happening to me. It doesn’t mean I don’t try to change things but it means that I’m not always resisting everything.

Unless monthly payments on renting from the bank are lower than renting from someone else it’s a worse deal. If you rent you don’t need to worry about things like replacing roof, windows, etc.

Also, if you rent you’re more free to pick up and leave vs. being tied to a mortgage.

For a lot of people it does have to be that way though. I just saw an article claiming 7 million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. They can’t really decide to take the more expensive climate friendly way. A billionaire could absolutely decide to do that though.

Horse shit. No one gets that wealthy without making some anti climate decisions. That class of people have the power to make significant sacrifice for the better while normal folks have the power to make very tiny sacrifices.

Not saying we shouldn’t all be doing our best but at this point in time the ones with power are steering the ship.

Good call on a deep clean. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. I think it’s a lot of trial and error for most people at the beginning.

That piece on the FEP sheet is where it let go from the supports when the build plate lifted. More support will probably fix that.

I always think about what’s happening when I’m doing supports. The resin gets cured on the FEP then the build plate moves up and pulls that layer off the FEP. The part is being pulled by forces in opposite directions so we need to make sure that the part hanging on to the build plate is sufficiently anchored so it’ll pop off the FEP and not off the build plate.

 

Do I have to sand or is there some magic I’m not aware of?

 

I don’t know how these asset packs work. Could I get .stl files from them?

 

The print didn’t finish because of a corrupt file apparently (that’s what the printer told me). I’m wondering what causes that big gap between the layers.
