@lost_in_tech That would suck to not be able to open a window all the way, but does the UK not have flying insects? ..because I never see bug screens on pictures of windows in the UK.
@lost_in_tech That's good to hear, I've avoided Bambu because of their cloud crap and don't recommend their printers to others because of it, sounds like Snapmaker will be the recommendation. Not to mention all of the filament waste Bambu printers create.
@lost_in_tech £.12/kWh today for summer rate, £.11/kWh is the winter rate, was £.08/kWh 7 years ago before they started ratcheting it up nearly every year more than they had ever before.
How to get me to not return to your establishment. Your kiosk asks me to tip on a to-go order ..and it's a fast casual restaurant with zero table service, they give a pager for YOU to pick up the food if you are at a table. Am I wrong about any of this?
@lost_in_tech ahh, was mostly joking. Nothing against PCB fabs or the sponsorships. It's sort of like how financial influencers promote audiobooks, comedians for therapy shops, and social advice influencers promoting grocery kit delivery. I realize some printer shops try to steer reviews tho.
@star_rose_three@CanuckCreator Same here, but often I try to download the STLs and it's missing files that should be in other "profiles" despite trying to select and download the STL after chosing that profile. It's a garbage experience.
@lost_in_tech Pretty sure plenty of people in the US probably think UK and England are synonymous and they also probably couldn't put Scotland on the map. You could probably get laughs of having people loudly read northern Ireland city names too.
@CanuckCreator Running cold water when someone is taking a shower used to be an issue before pressure balance valves became a code requirement in most places in the 1990s. The new type of valve will equalize the pressure on the opposite pipe if either cold or hot pressure drops.
@lost_in_tech No kidding, either rage bait or just generalized 'engagement' baiting. If a brake pad "fell off" their caliper or entire wheel would be gone too, likely crash involved. Had a friend who crashed a car, broke all caliper mounts but brakes still worked, drove all the way back home.
@CanuckCreator Polyisocyanurate is fire resistant. EPS and XPS can lose structure if in contact with any temperature within the 70ish C range and as others have mentioned can burn. A buddy made a solar heater box with an XPS back and the sun melted a hole, next one was polyiso.
@lost_in_tech It's a good question because once you get beyond the 320c materials, you now need a much hotter bed and actively heated chamber temps than those ~300c materials need if the print has any real z height to it.
@CanuckCreator No. I've probably made about 1kg of waste plastic in the past 5 years of printing and any cost for just equipment is way more than even a years supply of filament for me. I print single digit kg annually.
