I can't speak to Verizon, but as far as AT&T is concerned it's just a phone. I put my SIM card in and turn it on.

Now that's just not true... someone has to load the van.

(I kid. I play both... and a few other things.)

OP: Nice Danelectro. I've got a Korean 59 NOS+ and while I have guitars worth ten times as much, it still pops up in the rotation regularly.

I'm with you. It was still cool enough to run the trimmer at noon. It's up to 21C (70F) now which is a little warmer than I prefer to work in, but still not overwhelming. We're not quite getting freezing temps at night anymore, so it's in the sweet spot: warm enough to plant tomatoes and peppers, cool enough to do the work without breaking a sweat!

"Frosty clover" sounds like something you could type into a search engine and discover some sort of improbable sex act...

Good picture though. I love sunny spring days where it's still getting cold at night and the day gets up into "shorts" weather.

She's sad because no one wants to be friends with a scambot.

I've had good results with most of Bambu's filament, BUT, it comes wet. Just dry it thoroughly first and you'll save yourself a lot of stress.

So this isn't a tool to remind me when it's time to reorder my 55 gallon drum of personal lubricant?

(Apologies for linking to Amazon... it was them or Walmart and they're both terrible)

I grow mine in containers and have made it work not even bothering with new soil until spring. Unfortunately, this year I had an early freeze sneak up on me and I'm not sure if any of them are going to make it, but we'll see shortly.

I can wait until they work the bugs out.

We're on very similar pages I think.

Honestly, if I were in the market for another machine right now I'd be taking a hard look at building a Voron. I don't WANT a project like that, but it seems like the best compromise in the quality and capability vs price compromise. I'm told they're working on a 600mm³ model that may really tempt me when they finish.

 

Any thoughts on this. It seems pretty obvious as a development once you get into it and there doesn't seem to be much difference between the new patent and the expired patent. Layer adhesion is the big Achilles heel of 3D printing after all.

 

I recently got back into 3d Printing because it finally seemed like it had matured into a usable production method - where one could actually just make parts instead of spending all their time fiddling with the printer. That said, I realize there are still some benefits to some fiddling.

I'm wondering about other's process using the calibration prints in Orca. Do you go beyond maybe a temp tower, flow rate and pressure advance? Do you do those in any particular order? Bambu owners, do you bother on Bambu filament, or do you find their stock settings are pretty close (I haven't been bothering - most of it seems to do pretty well without).

I started thinking about this because I pulled out some OLD filament when I got my X1C, just to see if any of it was still usable. I dried it all thoroughly with a dehydrator, and have been pleasantly surprised. Much of it has been fine. The really old ABS has been fine as was the slightly newer ASA. The 5-year-old Hatchbox PLA was perfect, but a slightly newer generic PLA roll is terrible (it may have been bad when new). Old PETG has been hit and miss. I had all but given up on one roll, only to try tuning it, and suddenly got usable prints for the rest of the roll. Then the next roll clogged the nozzle on the pressure advance tower. I could just toss it all, but it was already paid for several years ago, so anything good that comes out of it is a win.
