Yep. If it’s 9:22:45, then rounding to 9:23 is more accurate than 9:22 anyway.

Thanks! I wondered about the glue stick trick, but I think you’re right that a taper would be better. I have to wonder why he didn’t say that, but maybe he was tight on time or some other thing.

The part at the end about the fins is good, but too quick. He says put a gap under the fins, and that makes sense, but then how do they print? Are they small enough that they can basically just break away? I’ve heard ironing is the key to stacked, separable prints (like miltiboard grids). I’d that (a) necessary, (b) unnecessary but helpful, or © irrelevant for these fins?

P.s. while I was internet searching to try to understand this, I found a cute video of his from 3 years ago where he is explaining the same concept, but with less polish and less good vtuber equipment. Still neat, and neat to see how he has and hasn’t changed over time.

Or just hydrate more—its better for you and your shit.

Like others have already said, this article is a good collection of tricks/principles/examples. There are also lots of links out to other resources that cover the various items in more detail.

But I haven’t seen anyone mention how awesome that head image is! Take a closer look if you didn’t at first. I’d love to see an animation that wipes from design to completed piece.

None of the sites are completely free from enshittification, but printables seems the least bad. Prusa has a better track record with supporting an open community, at least for now. Bambu+makerworld is an example of a company trying to close as much as possible to lock people in. Now I can’t download without a login? No thanks.

Yeah, there’s probably all kinds of clever ways to use folding for subdividers or something. If you come up with something to post, tag me so I can check it out!

Yeah! I know people make full organizer models for it, but mine has grown into its own thing over time, as I add more parts for the new expansions.

I didn’t know about that one; seems cool.

Freecad!

I like the sustainability, but if I’m being honest, what I really enjoy is the pure satisfaction of solving a tiny but annoying problem. This was a lot cheaper than a full replacement, but also a lot easier than tracking down the part and ordering it.

This is petg with 100% infill, and it seems sturdier than the original. I put a reminder for myself to check in 6 months if I don’t notice a problem sooner.

Why is it on the ground?

Agreed; the emacs one is incredible! Emacs is also the ones I know the best, so maybe that’s a core reason for my preference.

A change that was truly freeing for our family was to decide on just a few repeating standard meals. We did one night for tacos, one for some kind of fish, and one for some frozen food. Depending on how quickly you get bored, you can make the same or different things within those general outlines, but it helped narrow the decision tree at least for those nights.

After some time, we expanded to an even more thoroughly planned schedule, but that’s not where I would try to start. Just a loose schedule for some go-to meals that aren’t too repetitive but also don’t require too much energy to plan, prep, and make. Then you have more energy for deciding on other nights, or some basis for planning the other nights if that’s what you want.

your average black rubber oring isn the same material

That has got to be the most amazing typo I’ve seen in a while. This comment seems legit and knowledgeable. So, did they mean is the same material, or isn’t !!???

(Context says they mean isn, but still, it’s a fantastic typo)

I’ve really been looking forward to this! This announcement post is really sweet, and makes me glad for all the folks who worked on it.

Actually my first time; I had to order them just for this, and they’re great! Now I have extras ready for the next project.

7 hellhounds howling

Thanks; that worked! I was a little worried about the extra steps for my Nvidia card, but it was fine. Cosmic seems cool so far.
