Has google stopped working for finding anything?
  • The search engine makes the rules for what they deem important in finding the correct results. SEO is the practice of optimising of a web site to best get your site on the top of the list. All the painful stories about grandmothers and long lost lovers at the top of recipes are to achieve better SEO and a good example of how SEO made the internet worse.

    Is Fear of Repetitions a Thing? Can't find a lot of information...
  • For me my mind will drift off and I won't be able to stay focussed on completing repetitive tasks.

    As a result thoughts of failure, stress, frustration, distraction etc will kick in and I will actively start avoiding it and sabotaging completing it until the last minute.

    It only makes sense for me to try and avoid that scenario so I would say yes I have a fear of repetitive boring work/tasks but I don't think its a phobia in the strict sense.

    I can't see how anyone thinks ADHD is a superpower.
  • I would add being a few steps ahead of most others in the group, project etc because of all the over thinking you've done instead of sleeping or completing other things.

    I can't see how anyone thinks ADHD is a superpower.
  • Im already in my mid 40's. For me it helps to have a solid maximum cap of 4 things to juggle at a time. 2 is good 3 is great, 4 is OK but only 1 or more than 4 is looking for trouble.

    Japan sets new nuclear fusion record
  • Fusion is a very long term goal and I'm sure they are careful to not tarnish its image. But yes sadly the first commercial fusion reactors probably won't be sustainable but once they are a reality investment into the technology will be much greater and hopefully cleaner fuels will become a reality.

    Help with stringing after shifting to Klipper
  • Its a balancing act so if you are only upping the temperature to get higher flow but not the speeds to use that higher flow then there will be some issues. Each filament also has different temperature and flow characteristics so just because the new filament works with the current settings doesn't mean the old filament was junk.

  • This is the first time I tried to grow mushrooms and I'm not sure if things are still on track as it going pretty slow and would appreciate someone having a look.

    I needle biopsied some store bought button mushroom and made a liquid starter with dry malt. Then I made grain spawn with some chicken feed and finally it went into coco coir in small "shoe box" containers.

    Can anyone see based on the attached photo if I am likely to get any mushrooms?

    Where to start with a Volcano hotend?
  • The volcano was made for high volume prints and has a bigger melt zone. Ideally it's best for bigger nozzles, high layer hights and faster printing.

    If you want to print small and detail a normal e3d or other hotend gives you better control. For smaller characters you can use a standard hotend with a 0.3mm nozzle and switch on arachnid or similar in your slicer. That will give you pretty good results provided your cooling is good.

    For calibration its best to watch a few videos as its a lot to discuss over a post like this. But you are looking to do e-steps, flow-rate, temperature tower and retraction. Also know that this may change when you change the filament or speed you are printing at so try and keep things as consistent as possible.

    Where to start with a Volcano hotend?
  • To be honest the Volcano HE is the wrong thing for printing small detail like a DnD character. If you do all the calibrations it can print quite well but will never have the control thats needed for high detail prints. Your best bet is to have an extruder setup that makes it easy to change out the HE. I run both the volcano and normal E3D v6 and swop them out when needed with a EVA extruder.

    You didn't bought it you rented it!
  • HP is a horrible company. They make things up just to make life difficult for consumers. Everyone should boycott them I make sure none of the hardware the company I work for is HP as well.

    A room temperature superconductor? New developments. Science.org/HN
  • We are all waiting. Currently a claim has been made and some other claims that it could work both from modeling and replicating the process.

    We are waiting for other labs to do proper peer reviews and verify the results. That still won't mean it does what we hope it does just that the results are the same as what was found in the original claim.

    So still a long way away from knowing what is actually possible.

    Finally using Linux full-time thanks to PopOS
  • At home I started running Linux Mint years ago in a dual boot setup and rarely use the windows partition anymore.

    For work I've threatened to do the same a few times but never actually got that far.

    I think it helps with all the software going cloud based so the reasons of needing windows only apps are slowly disappearing even if that's another can of worms.

    First claimed successful replication of LK-99
  • Managing heat is a large part of circuit design. Superconductors can fundamentally change everything about it meaning far smaller much faster and more capable in every way. As an example 95%+ of modern CPU's and GPUs are cooling related. The actual chips are tiny in comparison to the whole component.

    Looking for a self-hosted web-based slicer application
  • There are some plugins you can try in octoprint.

    Personally I would probably install cura engine or PrusaSlicer on the pi SSH in and use the CLI to slice the stl and upload the gcode. You can probably write a script that monitors a folder and runs a script to do it all when a stl is dropped as well.

    First layer woes - looking for advice
  • Most brands should work fine. Same with hairspray.

    I've been using glass print surfaces and glue stick for 10+ years. I just wash off the glass with warm water every 2-3 prints otherwise just add a new layer of glue stick before printing. I'm going to try a G10 print surface next as I finally found some in my country.

    Why does all of this alien stuff take place mostly in the USA?
  • If you pull back all the layers of this onion you will most likely find out its just humans manipulating a situation to fund secret projects and funnel money into private corporations. It happens elsewhere as well but mostly under other different veils.

  • I have been working on this Vase Wing OpenSCAD project for a bit but Im still new to OpenSCAD and looking for some tips before I carry on.

    My primary issue is that the Preview Pane is getting slow and it seems to be an issue for people especially on windows. Are there any OpenSCAD guru's on here willing to take a look and make some recommendations?

    The project is on GitHub over here: https://github.com/Beachless/Vase-Wing
