I’m a huge LotR fan (probably going to go see Two Towers in theatre tonight!) and am very much not looking forward to this movie, lol. I was reading Fellowship a few months ago and got to the part of the book that talks about what the plot of Hunt for Gollum is about… Aragorn pretty much summarizes the entire thing in less than a paragraph. It’s pretty wild.
Viggo is playing Aragorn!
Viggo is now older than Ian McKellen was when he first played gandalf…!
Nobody is allowed to make content based off the Silmarillion. The Tolkien Estate has exclusive publishing rights for everything 1st and 2nd Age. That’s why Rings of Power is so bad, they’re basically trying to rewrite the lore to tell the same story and set everything up the way it already is without being able to use any source material.
It’s like, just tell a different story at that point bro.
The corner is laying down. The would be no supports in either case, and the fillet avoids hard turns while the chamfer still has two (less sharp) angles.
Like 99% of things in 3D printing, “Xs are to be preferred over Ys” is an entirely circumstantial statement that is never going to be true all of the time.
You might try adding a small fillet or chamfer to the inside corners of the model. 3D printers don’t like making sharp, pointed turns; rounded edges (or wider angled turns) tend to print much better.
The rounded (fillet) corners will probably be less visible, and will prevent the start / stopping point where the problem is occurring
In Germany we have organic waste bins.
Sounds like some liberal commie alarmist woke propaganda to me. Here in God’s country, we put our organic waste directly into the coal plants 🇺🇸🦅
You’re supposed to put a third forklift (using a fourth forklift) on top of the first two
“your tactics” is still like, several notches above a sane take on what OP actually posted. This is not a remotely problematic post, at least not in the sense you guys are implying.
And videos with still images of text with an animated clip-art border and sound use even more!
Hey, nice fix.
Only thing I’d look at is maybe adding a slope to the little protruding rectangle, so the model can be printed on its front/ back side without supports or losing quality on the first few layers of the notch. Based on the complete photo, it looks like only the lower side of the rectangle that’s resting on the monitor needs to be there, you can make that a small angled lip instead of the block.
I went on a canyon drive one time. We started with 7 cars, when we got to the end of our route, we had 8. Hopped right out of his car and stood around in the circle with the rest of us, didn’t even register for a second that it was just some random guy. He thought it looked fun so he kept up with us. Cool dude.
What if the aggressor misses, and stabs the wrong one?
There’s a 0% chance the tiktok generation avoids using nukes on itself.
As much as we hate the ‘old guard’ and as much damage as they continue to do to the world, in a way they are protecting us.
There is no way the tiktok/instagram/twitter generation has enough foresight and appreciation for human life to avoid pushing the nuclear button when they’re in control.
Can you point out the parts that aren’t about generations? Because the first paragraph is a single sentence about “the Tok Tok generation”, the second paragraph is a single sentence about the “old guard” generation, and the last paragraph is, well, a single sentence about the “Tik Tok / Instagram / Twitter generation”.
You’re correct, there are in fact other words in your post besides “generation”, but all three sentences are literally only about how the next generation is too XYZ compared to the previous one.
Telling people to read your post again while giving zero additional context doesn’t make everyone else go, “wow that guy is so dumb for not understanding the clearly written post! OP is smart and cool!” it just kind of proves to everyone that you’re talking out of your ass and can’t explain your position.
Nah. Lol has been part of the “texting based dictionary” for a good minute, it’s like putting “haha”. I’m near 30 and this definitely predates gen-x
Yeah, really don’t like that one.
Awesome! One of the biggest advantages of switching to a larger nozzle diameter is being able to print those larger layers. Cuts print time dramatically
0.3mm layers seems kinda high for a 0.4mm nozzle (I usually try to keep layer height ≤1/2 nozzle diameter), could be your hotend is having a hard time melting PETG that quickly?
As others have said, you are severely under-extruding.
Looking at your pictures, I do see a potentially major issue that nobody has addressed: the taughtness of the filament between your hot end and runout sensor. It does not look like filament is being fed to the extruder easily enough for the extruder gears to grip the filament. If you’re able to print other filaments, it’s possible that this one has a harder or slicker surface than say PLA.
I would try temporarily disabling the runout sensor, and routing the filament under the top bar, directly to the hotend, to test this.
The Tolkien Estate (namely Christopher) is incredibly protective of J. R. R.'s works and their integrity. Anything that is produced, they want produced true to his image. That being said they were very much not fans of the theatrical LotR films we know and love by New Line Cinema. Also worth noting that when J. R. R. sold the movie rights back in the 60s, he only sold the movie rights to the LotR trilogy and the Hobbit, but there was an additional clause that stated that if the Silmarillion were to be sold, the company that bought the rights to the LotR/Hobbit would get first dibs on it. So, if they want a Silmarillion movie, they have to offer it to the parent company of New Line Cinema, meaning they’d likely purchase it and produce the movies, which the Tolkien Estate does not want. So, the chances of the rights being sold, at least while New Line Cinema and it’s affiliates exist, are practically zero.
So, why not make it themselves? Very much for the same reason. I don’t know your familiarity with the Silmarillion, but… it’s very heavy reading. Not to say that it isn’t a good read, or that the story isn’t there, but the first section of the book is a bunch of shapeless angels singing songs about life and accidentally creating the universe, and the remainder of the book has 500 characters with a total of 17 different names that get altered, swapped, and outright changed halfway through the story. A true 1:1 adaption of the book would probably be longer than the original extended trilogy, but be way harder to follow for the average audience. So, major changes would be needed to make it financially viable, which are the exact things the Tolkien Estate does not want New Line Cinema making them.
TL;DR: The Tolkien Estate has to sell the Silmarillion rights to New Line Cinema before anyone else can buy it, and the Estate didn’t like the other movies so they aren’t going to sell it to them (and thus to anyone). They didn’t like the movies because the movies made too many changes to get the books to work for film, so they certainly will not be the ones to make the major changes that would be necessary to turn J. R. R.'s Bible fanfic into a Hollywood blockbuster.
