Someone quick, put them in a sock.

That’s me, but with my 3d printer.

So that’s why Instagram is the way it is, i assumed it was fairly small but it has attracted a rather toxic userbase and i don’t actually enjoy it anymore.

It used to be a place where i could share my joys and people with similar interests would follow me because they enjoy my joys too.

But now it’s just tiktok, at least i assume seeing it’s all reels and loud noises.

Gone are the days of being properly fed off a normal wage.

Nah, calm your tits.

I have those magnet balls and over the years (sounds more dramatic than it is) i bought 10 sets which usually sit on my desk in some fancy shape as decoration.

They can get fairly expensive (mass/price) so i opted to buy a single set every so often as i haven’t found a magnet shop that sells individual balls for less.

Sometimes i get so invested i’ll mess with them for hours.

I scan my own groceries and i’ll keep track of the hours to eventually hit them with a “freelance register operater” bill for €55 an hour.

As i’m freelance i need to pay 49% taxes on that and another x amount for insuring myself in case i have a work related accident, i’ll be left with roughly €20 an hour which is a little over my actual wage as i’m apparently so skilled they want me to do the job so it must be worth it to them.

I think everyone everywhere should pull this shit, even if it’s just to make a point. Show them how much they rely on free labour while living in big houses and driving fancy cars lol.

Since we’re all going off what is visible and nothing more: the outer bits seem to be fabric, maybe those are dirt covers?

I just want to point this out: Louis Rossman is trying to fix this in a way, by allowing people to subscribe to a person and not one of their platforms, so if they get banned their new platform of choice will show up to all of their subscribers instead of them having to try and move their audience to a new nearly unused platform.

Nah, it needs to be brought down a couple notches.

It’s bad.

The porn is legal, just so we’re clear on that lol.

My phone is 512gb and i use about 80 myself, largest part is porn(yeah i’m aware, it’s bad…very bad,i need some time).

I’ve decided to start pirating again as my device has plenty of space to keep my music.

The biggest thing is getting all lf the music, so nowadays i’ll just play what i have and sometimes go: “oh damn i forgot about billie eilish” for example and make a mental note until the next time i’m at my computer with some time to spare.

Slowly but steadily decreasing my porn stock and replacing it with music i would’ve bought as cd’s.

It’s not that i don’t want to pay, it’s just that their “service” isn’t serving me and thus not worth the money.

Give me my cd’s back lol. Let me own what i purchase.

Do it.

I worked at Albert Heijn in my teens and they stopped selling coca cola as they couldn’t agree on a price.

Cola wanted to increase the consumer price to €1,35 for 1.5 liter bottles.

It took quite some time before the store had coca cola in stock.

I bought a bottle a couple weeks ago as we had some friends over and i laughed so hard out of misery. That same fucking bottle now costs €2,49 at Albert Heijn.

Store brand is 89 cents, which is what we used to pay for original cola .5 liter bottles.

Guys, it’s just water with a bit of flavouring in it. We should all just collectively stop buying these famous brands and watch them burn. Lol

If i don’t see the value i’m pirating.

Money is tight, don’t expect me to pay for a play button that you’ll take away the second i can’t spare the money. It means there is no value delivered for my money so i don’t have a reason to spend my hard earned money.

Especially when the amouny is as significant as 10/15€. Fuck i would’ve bought a cd for each month i could spare that money.

They played rust during their down time huh

Not yet, i’m still working on getting it all back together as i need different connectors and some other hardware.

I thought it would be an easy way to save roughly €100, but alas.

I have a copy of my current settings, dimensions etc. So it should get me some safe variables to start it up once it’s time to test if everything is ok.

If you’re wondering why i haven’t replied yet…a friend said it should be easy to put the 5 pro mainboard into my 5 plus, so i decided: “might as well as it’s already apart for upgrades and maintenance”

Turns out it’s not that simple and requires a fair deal of adjustments like the bltouch connector and it only has on Z stepper motor connector on the board.

And i need to figure out how to do the firmware etc…

I have a different one apparently, the bondtech ddx. It comes with it’s own smaller stepper motor. I ordered a new gear either way since they have an upgraded version now, but mine seem to be on a round axle with bearings.

Little addition though, i completely took apart the extruder to check. The gear that is directly on the extruder is STUCK on there lol. The other secondary gears are on bearings and all still look brand new apart from a tiny amount of filament shavings that i cleaned out right away.

It might be in part that i messed up the thumb screw tightness because i wasn’t aware of their specific instructions. I usually just tightened it to: “meh, feels right” and haven’t had a similar issue before.

My printer is in parts atm as i ordered a new hotend, i’m still waiting for replacement springs as i broke one within 10 minutes of receiving the hot end.

I got my e3d hotend and it took me a full 6 minutes to break it. I turned the bottom to line up the cables so it would fit in the bondtech thing and i managed to bend the spring enough that i couldn’t remove the nozzle anymore.

In an attempt to free it i completely fucked up the spring, so i’m back to ordering parts again.
