What's causing this pattern on my first layer?
  • I would have guessed the same as others that it was interactions between the nozzle and the bed or some texture on the bed. Especially since we don't see any normal extrusion lines which are normal on the first layer.

    Since you're confident it's not, are there artifacts elsewhere on your prints that might be a clue? Is there anything going on with your nozzle? Maybe some wear, chips,or inconsistent flow? If you print just the first layer what does it look like from the top? Does it help describe what we're seeing?

    Mozilla removes telemetry service Adjust from mobile Firefox versions
  • That doesn't exist in the mobile nightly.Picture of Firefox nightly toolbar on printables.com demonstrating missing home button

    But honestly that's no problem and I hadn't noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.

    But they love him in the mirror universe.
  • For what it's worth, I've seen this screenshot on three other social media platforms as well as getting an entertainment weekly article about it pushed to me so I think people are seeing it 😅

    Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team
  • Read the headline and thought "there's a catch..."

    Finally got around to reading the post and Microsoft is very politely saying "we've completed stealing their shit now. Don't know why anyone would want it, use ours now. You can have it though."

    Thanks I guess? I'm glad it's out of their hands now and with an open source group that cares and can make a difference.

    Small reminder: Don't forget to periodically renew your nozzle from time to time!
  • The larger photo shows a lot of wear on the end compared to the new nozzle (the flat area on the top is larger). It's hard to tell from the photos but in my experience this generally correlates to a widened nozzle diameter and decreased print quality.

    Biden, Harris greeted by chants of 'Thank you, Joe' at 1st joint event since he exited race
  • Bidens Trump's kryptonite. He can't stop talking about the guy. This donald dump stuff is perfect. He needs to stay on the trail and keep Trump off message campaigning against the wrong candidate.

    Patreon: adding Apple’s 30 percent tax is the price of staying in the App Store
  • Being as this is very similar to the apple epic legal fight that epic lost earlier this year, I doubt apple will make a deal. My understanding is that patreon can cave, choose to pay 27% commission, or make their own store.

    Though skimming the news around epic's attempts to make a store, you "can" make a store in compliance with EU and UK laws, but apple made it kinda impossible to actually do and epic is fighting it in court again?

    So patreon seems to have read the lay of things and said I guess we just have to make the best of a shitty situation and communicate everything to try to limit the pain.

    It's almost like apple feels like they have the power to do whatever they want because they've created a market where they don't have competition...

    ‘Worst Vice Presidential Pick of My Lifetime’: JD Vance’s Net Negative Favorable Rating Gets Even Worse
  • Not mine either but I met him once in a hotel lobby. He was very nice to the group of high schoolers and came off as a decent person but that may have just been him being good at his job.

    I always felt watching that election that he was pushed to the right and out of his comfort zone by the state of his base and even though I didn't want him to be president I felt a little sorry for him. He would have made a better president than a lot of other Republicans.

    Artificial intelligence is taking the consulting industry by storm – should we be concerned?
  • Surprised consultants are pushing the latest fad? No it's what businesses want to hear.

    Concerned they're pushing the bubble? No more than the rest of it.

    Worried a machine will be lying to me about timelines instead of a person? That's innovation for you I guess.

    First Functional Print
  • When we visited Europe a number of years ago I had to learn stick and we all practiced quite a bit because renting an automatic wasn't reasonable. It's actually pretty hard to find a manual to learn on and not all learner agencies even have one.

    Don't think I've seen this before. Don't even think the author has things for sale from what I can tell. Couldn't find an obvious option on any of my models to toggle this either.

    Anyone know what's going on?
