  • If the first layer is good, this looks like some sort of over-extrusion.

    How many layers up is this? The more solid layers, the less overextrusion it takes to get this pattern.

    And yes, it’s normal to have it in areas like this, with no good explanation of why it’s a problem “there”, and not “there”.

    A good closeup would help diagnose this. Maybe even a nice closeup video of how it looks while it’s printing. When I get these results, it’s very clearly overextrusion, when I look closer.

    If it is overextrusion, there are many solutions, each with different side-effects. You can consider doing an extension rate calibritation, with the exact filament roll you are using. Or maybe simply adjust the extrusion rate down a little bit.







  • Can you spare a dollar? I need a beer.

    Exactly, it’s not related to me at all.

    there’s a whole class of street beggars pretending to look needy

    Yep, in some areas that can actually give a middle class income.

    Imagine working hard on a low income job, but you make enough to “fit in”. You have a house, you have a car, your kids can join class trips.

    Then there’s a beggar that’s making more than you, but doesn’t have any kids. They have a better house, a better car, and goes to Thailand for two weeks every year.






  • Honestly, I think it would be healthy for you to study just a little bit about what it’s like to be poor and unprivileged. If nothing else, it should make you feel more lucky in life, and make you appreciate what you have more.

    First, about a third of the world population doesn’t have access to internet at all.

    Second, what do you think a person can do with internet, when their intire life is about getting enough food to survive? And how would an education even help, if you have no chance of ever getting a job or starting a business bigger than selling water and snacks to people stuck in traffic near your bridge?

    If you have never been so physically and mentally used, and so far down, and so out of options that the only way of of the missery is substance abuse, you are lucky.

    If you are so far away from all of this, that you are unaware of its existence, you are very lucky.




  • We live in a society with a lot of equality almost anyone smart enough can work hard enough to get themselves out of almost any situation.

    That really depends on where you live, your health and possibly several points about your parents. Millions and millions of people never get a chance to grab, never get an opportunity to pursue.

    It is entirely within your choice to live under a bridge.

    Lots of people don’t have any better options than to live under a bridge, despite being in an area where that is illegal and not a real option.


  • Actually, just go to the library. Depending on where you live, you’ll not just find all kinds of books, there may also be audio book, board games, console games, game consoles and computers you can just use.

    There might comfortable furniture and coffee, you can go there just for the mood or the peace.

    Got kids? There might be a whole section just for kids. It may include toys or even a play-area.

    There might a whole wall of post from people who wants your attention on something. There’s probably a few about free activities you could join.
