Same here. I went through a breakup recently and I’ve been trying my hardest to not go paddling back to reddit to distract myself from all the feelings… It sucks to not have a place to vent and lean on. I hope the communities keep growing. It’s really good vibes here so far, I’m looking forward to more posts as people join.
No freaking way those are 3d printed! If so, you’ve got serious talent. Very nice :o
I love the idea of going out and having tasty drinks with friends without the pressure of needing to be intoxicated. Think of it this way - if alcohol was the only reason people were going to bars, why even have cocktails to cover up the taste of it? To me it seems to fall very much in line with the other trends of society lately, like with bubbly fruity waters or healthier versions of soda. I’ve seen more and more people abstaining from alcohol for reasons beyond addiction. Wanting to be healthier and live life without a hangover, taking care of their bodies, challenging social norms of what’s considered fun, replacing alcohol intoxication with other kinds, trying to connect in more authentic ways.
Personally I find myself drawn to these new ways of living too, and even though I still drink on occasion, I feel a lot better when I don’t and I’m glad there are alternatives that are all-in (rather than just ordering a soda at the bar).
This is so cool!! I don’t think I was ever as excited for a gift as I’m sure those kids were! Beyond thoughtful to personalize them with names. I would keep mine forever. You’re going to make your daughter very popular, I’m sure hahah.
Loving your posts. This one cracked me up.
PETG is truly a pain!! You’d think with a plastic used in water bottles, it would do better with moisture. I recommend the brand CC3D if you want something reliable (and ultra cheap!) Also remember that PETG needs more room between the nozzle and the build plate (higher z offset) so that the filament doesn’t stick to the nozzle and make a mess :)
That’s not a printer. That’s furniture. 😃
inb4 people learn about what the animal industry actually does to their unnecessary animals. The baby boy chicks are just as worse off imo. 😞
