@Matt_Pinner You'll understand when you're older.

@DJSnM I think that's a magical belief in intent: "We could *totally* do that if we wanted to. We don't want to do it here, so it's not happening."

@Avboden @DJSnM Not even close. A porkchop plot is a 2D plot with color for a 3rd axis that is used to show how certain parameters affect total delta-V for a given maneuver. Should look something like this.

@MilesBScott @CNC_Kitchen Yep! When the water absorbed into the filament gets heated to 220C/470F, it boils and turns into water vapor, which creates the bubbles seen here as well as the little pops you hear when printing with wet filament.

[Stefan - CNC Kitchen @CNC_Kitchen]

That's some amazing frottage... totally ruined by the wet filament they used 😅
