The loops, brother! I hunger for the loops!

“Your bed is a car.”

“Yeah but it’s a fuckin’ sweet car.”

Boss makes a thousand

I make a buck

That’s why I use the company laser engraver

And don’t give a fuck

They went crazy and they’re no longer supermen.

And Terminator: TSCC

Why no base10 clock?

Being next to the sink, might be a good idea to drill drain holes into the bins so water doesn’t get trapped in the bottom. Otherwise pretty cool! Next gridfinity step would be making some kind of purpose built holder for the flosser picks and the toothbrush head.

Dang this is seriously cool. I wonder how much space the whole workflow will take up on a workbench, and of course how dusty the room it’s in will become.

Good points, makes me think of how good lightweight RSS readers were at accomplishing the same kinds of content aggregation goals, and worked well even over 56k modems.

How many layers of green did you use?

It’s not a spoiler, it’s on the back of the book.

Don’t read Children of Time if you’re arachnophobic. Or do, and face your fears.

Yes, and I need more books with bird aliens in them.

Or aluminum cans! Those are very recyclable as well.

Truly the best solution!

I actually have a “resin mixing” gcode file that just raises and lowers the build plate a bunch while I’m warming up the shed my resin machine lives in. That mixes it up really nicely!

As for leaving resin in the vat, thank you for the advice, however I’ve been printing with this machine since 2020 and never empty the vat unless I’m changing resins or using a water washable (which I moved away from as the detail wasn’t as crisp, and it’s just as problematic as regular resin). I do run a clean cycle after a print, peel the sheet up, cure it and toss it. Never had to replace the FEP, never had any leakage issues

Sounds like the consensus. I also have a dye sublimation printer for photos (Canon Selphy) and it never fails. We’ve used it as a “near instant photobooth” at weddings, put probably a thousand photos through it, and photos today looks as great as the day we bought it.

Interesting. Does it have to be “on” or just plugged in? I don’t have a permanent space for a paper printer so it stays in the closet until we need it.

My kids love to doodle on the computer and print the drawings out so color is a must. Thank you!

Yes, but where the carbon comes from does matter. Burning fossil fuels is bad because it reintroduces previously sequestered carbon back into the atmosphere. If we can shorten the carbon cycle and simultaneously reduce the total amount of free carbon in the atmosphere, it’s still a net positive, even though we would still be burning hydrocarbons.

Of course the less we burn, the better, and I’m sure the water resources used to make the “renewable” fuel are just as problematic and wasteful.
