@4jawjan If you can find the other half, you may be able to superglue it back on 😅

#ScamAlert typical vague confirm link. But I like the text they used to fool spam filters. It's about the LNWR and LMSR Memorial, Euston Station.

TFW you've been cleaning and doing laundry for 4 hours and you finally take a break to have a bowl of cereal but the milk is frozen solid 😞

so I spent the last 3 days learning how to modify it with #Fusion360. This is version 2. Now printing version 3 that was modified from scratch again, and has a bracket to support the wire harness. The 4020 blows a lot more air so bridging and supported areas should print better.

Modified MicroSwiss NG shroud for 4020 blower.

Printed the modified shroud I found on Thingiverse before I realized it was only for a CR-10 - the 4020 hits the E5+'s Y-axis wheels. Thankfully #MicroSwiss published the STEP file...

This is culture. This is worth preserving. Everything else is noise.

Peace on Earth to us all.

tonight we gather in a massive collective moment of goodwill

Whether expressed in effort, experience, gifts - these are expressions of love.

In this moment of love, I stand with All of you in gratitude that we as a species are capable of such greatness. Together.

DD started misbehaving last week but I couldn't figure out why. Extruder gears would skip randomly and it wouldn't extrude. Thought clogged nozzle so I changed it twice, no difference. Finally saw this after I took it apart - solidified filament at the cold end of the heat break.

A new @MicroSwissLLC NG for my Ender 5+ 🥳 Replaced a MicroSwiss Direct Drive. The DD weighs 445g while the NG weighs 303g!

[Robert Lau @notrslau]

Changed esteps and Z offset (was 2.65mm with DD, 2.85mm with NG). Resliced with 1mm & 45mms/ retract. Should have done a PID tune but ran a print because I was impatient. Turned out great! 150mm tall printed vertically. No uneven layer lines even under worst possible lighting 👏

@aneri I’m only 50ms away 🤗

WTH, these are (almost guaranteed to be) mutually exclusive groups 🤦🏻

The package that already arrived will be returned 🤦🏻

Like most scams, this "error" is intentional - it filters out people who notice the error and are thus unlikely to be scammed.

@kashthefuturist Very cool but I needed to take a screenshot from the video to find the product name 😅 And I couldn't reply to your tweet.

My kids’ constant outbursts while gaming gave me an idea - traffic throttling based on noise level. The louder they are, the slower their net. An Arduino or Pi with a mic + REST API calls to my border @Fortinet should do it 😁
