  • Framed "Bottle"

    Jump

  • That's pretty awesome! I don't think it's there anymore, but there used to be an xkcd shop where you could buy signed prints. One of my favorite possessions is a print of Compiling that my sibling bought me.

  • After a 40-year wait, technology finally enables three-sided zipper design

    Jump

  • Hey, that's pretty cool! I'd be super curious to see how other materials outside of pla (not particularly great for long term outdoor use) or tpu fare, especially with tools like metal printers becoming slightly more accessible.

    Also, it might be worth cross posting to !3dprinting@lemmy.world, it's always nice to see cool and bleeding edge use cases for the technology.

  • What's your favorite childhood cartoon that everyone else seems to have forgotten about?

    Jump

  • I watched a lot of PBS growing up and was always fond of Cyberchase, but I think that show has something of a cult following (plus it's somehow still running). I have yet to meet anyone else who remembers my all time favorite George Shrinks though- childhood me was fascinated by the idea of being able to experience the world from the perspective of being 3in tall (probably something to do with being small enough to literally live in a palace made of lego lol).

  • Oh, Brother [@jasonadamk]

    Jump

  • Kind of. Some of the newer models use chip identification and refuse to print if they think the toner is out. The L3765CDW has been something of a nightmare...

  • Summoners

    Jump

  • Reminds me a bit of this comic:

  • [Meta] Posting comics from transphobic artists?

    Jump

  • I do like the idea of putting some sort of identifier in the post title, so I created a new post for discussion.

  • What kind of Servo or actuator to use for diy filament cutter?

    Jump

  • All the cutters I've seen mostly rely on the printer's physical movement to drive the cutting blade, rather than a servo. Technically there's the SnappingTurtle, by the same guy who made the BoxTurtle project, which appears to be closer to what you're looking for, but unfortunately isn't available yet.

    That said, maybe take a look at the BoxTurtle project/ discord? Part of the project is the FilamATrix tool head, which is a mechanically activated cutter. There's also the AT4 tool head and the crossbow filament cutter (which you might be able to adapt to your old printer if you didn't want to do a full tool head conversion).

  • What do you keep in your pockets and which pocket do you keep them in?

    Jump

  • I tend to keep a fair bit of my stuff clipped to my belt loops, not quite as streamlined and elegant as cramming everything in a pocket, but much easier to tell when something is missing (and far less likely to beat up my phone).

    Front left pocket: wallet, multitool (Nextool s11)

    Front left belt loop: noise cancelling earbuds (Sony WF-1000XM5)

    Front right pocket: phone (pixel 9 pro xl)

    Front right belt loop: keys

    Hip right belt loop: work badge (when applicable)

  • Having issues with PETG. Is this bed leveling issue, bed dirty issue, wet filament issue, or something else?

    Jump

  • How do you document your setup?

    Jump

  • That's the direction I'm moving my lab in. Plus a bit of supplemental markdown to keep track of which guides I'm referencing (and which parts can be ignored because I baked it into the terrafom). It's really nice to know that as long as I tweak the terraform for changes, I don't have to worry about forgetting what I changed.

  • What are things that bring you joy?

    Jump

  • Dungeon Crawler Carl has to be one of my top two favorite reads in the last year (I'd give it the top spot, but Red Rising was also really good)! It's a struggle to convey just what makes it so good, but it's been a fantastic ride. I can't wait for the next book in May!

  • ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses

    Jump

  • I'm partial to OVVO, I tend to be pretty hard on frames (-8 prescription, I can't not wear glasses), but the two pairs I've had have been nigh indestructible- deceptively sturdy especially given how thin and light they are. (Bonus points for not being part of the eyeglass cartel too)

  • Scrum

    Jump

  • This. A scrum master's job should be first and foremost making sure that the dev team has what it needs to get real actual work done. Ideally, the scrum master should be face tanking status/ update meeting, coordinating with outside entities, and ensuring that as few distractions make it to the team as possible.

  • Doesn't help that they're almost all owned by the same company...

  • Is a Dell Latitude 7430 any good for general school stuff?

    Jump

  • That sounds like a perfectly capable school machine (especially for $250). According to the service manual for that model, it looks like the storage can be upgraded (assuming that you can get your hands on an SSD). There's no mention of replacing the RAM, so I'd almost bet on that being soldered, but realistically 16gb should be plenty for the use cases you mentioned.

  • Can I get in on that action?

  • What are some lesser known facts and hidden easter eggs in movies/TV shows?

    Jump

  • Yeah! I put an order in for it back when it was announced and I think I saw that they're not far from shipping out (I'm excited!)

    I'm also a Kickstarter backer for Olan's new project Godspeed whenever that gets off the ground. I'm just still bitter and very willing to hold a corporate grudge (it'd take purging the CEO and board before I'd even consider giving them money again).

  • What are some lesser known facts and hidden easter eggs in movies/TV shows?

    Jump

  • From the deep Final Space shaped hole in my heart, fuck WB/ Discovery.

    I'm of the opinion that claiming media for tax breaks should immediately forfeit IP/ copyright protections and require it to be made available to the public.

  • The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices
