Jesus Christ, who the fuck gets bleeding gums as recurring thing.

I thought you were exaggerating so I googled it and what the fuck man.

ABS generally requires additional additives for UV resistance, and plain ABS will degrade relatively quickly in full sun.

There’s a section in this study on the change in mechanical properties of ABS resins in simulated weather environments https://mirror.wide-net.org/pub/b/plastic/abs-yellowing-etc-CIB9222.pdf

And Australia!

Absolutely farcical that McBride’s in jail while Ben Roberts-Smith is free.

This isn’t the Murdoch Sky News.

Oh hell yes

I love this surreal shit.

Link was down but this release from NTI has similar info: https://www.nti-group.com/home/information/news/3dbenchy/

Came here to suggest Akagi, it might also help to play a little Mahjong Soul to understand riichi mahjong. It’s not essential, but rewatching Akagi after learning how to play was an enhanced experience.

Then why implement over the top security and encryption in said RFID tags if it’s only for AMS compatibility? The fact they went to so much trouble is writing on the wall that some time in the future they want to try and implement a printer cartridge-esque walled garden where only approved filaments can be used.

It is very weird and not for everyone, but it is definitely very original. It feels like a feature length Tim and Eric skit.

The most recent would be The Greasy Strangler, on Blu-ray. Truly one of a kind, it has been stuck in my mind since.

Too right, mate.

As an Australian, why bother importing “y’all” when everyone is already “mate”?

Even without development skills, you can still contribute by helping develop and maintain good documentation for your favourite projects or helping with testing and bug reporting.

The big issue for long term storage and exposure to moisture is hydrolysis, in which over time water molecules infiltrate and alter the polymer chains of the filament, causing the mechanical properties to degrade. Hydrolysis is, to the best of my knowledge, not reversible by simply driving the filament as the water molecules become incorporated into the polymer chain.

That said, simply storing your filament in your vacuum bags and tossing in some dessicant pouches before you seal it should drastically increase the time you can store filament before running the risk of it degrading noticeably.

Personally I just have a large plastic bin with a rechargeable dessicant device that keeps things relatively dry and I haven’t had any issues storing filament long term.
