Y’all remember when we found out all the AI in the walkout Amazon grocery stores was just a bunch of dudes in an Indian call center watching cameras? That would be hilarious if this was the same, some random dude in India sshs into this dude computer then gets annoyed about it if date packages on the system and it spirals from there.
I mean the same way, retraction isn’t pulling the molten filament out of the nozzle in FDM so I’m either filament or peeler based extrusion you just run it in reverse briefly.
Not to mention the patent for heated build platforms wasn’t filed for something like 4 years after the first heated bed was put to use. Stratasys only has the patent because that bought the company that filed it last year.
Also the heated bed was first put to use in 2010 as a way around the stratasys patent on heated build chambers, they never even thought to heat only the best.
Aside from what’s already been mentioned there’s the Qidi plus 4. Reviewers seem to like the newer Qidi printers but I have no clue how closed off their ecosystem is. Also seems to be about the price seems to be 800 usd which is cheaper than a Prusa but more expensive than some of the other options given.
I recently saw an A8 voron switchwire conversion, what I’m taking away from that and this is first A8 mod should be a metal frame.
If I’m real quick I can get in and out in under 48 hours but that depends on whether or not I need to wash my hair.
If I only took like 3 showers a month I bet I could be pretty productive too!
Generally yes, like the other reply said it might be automatic and self winding. It’s a style of mechanical watch though so something somehow has to tension the spring that makes the watch run.
It’s essentially a fancy watch spring mechanism. So the open spot on the bottom of the dial is the tourbillion as it unwinds it rotates around.
Dude if someone told me this was a modded Seiko 5 with a “tourbillion” movement in it I would 100% believe it.
The usual plan now is just to hop in whatever you came in and evac to earth. Right now the plan for the Boeing dou would be to ride back in the currently docked dragon. I think they’d have to ride down on the cargo pallet though so it wouldn’t exactly be a comfortable ride. They’ll have their own dragon seats once crew 9 launches later this month.
Basically they don’t have enough docking port to keep two crafts for every flight docked to the ISS at all times so they just plan on if there needs to be an evac that the ones the rode up on being fine.
The shutdown would be triggered by Congress not passing a funding bill, something that’s happened 3 times since 2013, and the supreme would continue to get paid if this happens.
If one gunman killed around 3k people we’d be in the range of invade 2 countries territory but I doubt it bring of calls for domestic gun control.
I used to have a friend that NaNoWriMo every year and would update her progress on live journal. I always took the exercise to be what you’re describe, just an event to get people to write not even particularly well. Having your foundation saying that people not writing in your writing event is wild.
I work in retail, but my homelab isn’t super extensive just a nas, a Plex server, and a couple proxmox boxes.
Closet I’ve ever come to being in IT was back when I was still in college and took some a networking class and some web development classes but that was many moons ago.
Yeah the support is what pulls me to them but anymore unless I need the form factor of the pi it’s hard to justify them. Like the only place I see a hobbyist use for the Pi is 3d printers. Outside of that everything else seems like a small form factor desktop is better.
Well duh presidential candidate immunity!
Essentially the chance of something wrong happening on there return is high than like 1/270 or something, Scott Manley said 1/270 in a video so that’s where I’m getting that number, so they’re keeping them up there until they can either bring that chance down or get them another way home. If shit were to hit the fan in their orbit and they had to come home right now they could hop in Starliner and return but the risk for non emergencies is higher than NASA wants to accept right now.
The marlin build from creality is fine but klipper is another option if you’ve got a raspberry pi or an unused PC lying around.
I think there’s also some marlin forks around for ender 3s but I’ve never looked into those.
