I use M4 button cap and M3 socket cap exclusively. This is so I only need one bit for everything. I find they tap in so well that heat inserts are pointless in nearly all cases. I do recommend you use an electric screwdriver or drill to install them though, at least the first time. In cad I use 3.8mm holes for M4 and 2.8mm holes for M3.

There is a strong case for using self tapping plastic screws though, I just haven’t tried it.

I mean I can’t really blame them for being smaller, the USB port is a lot of value added but is also pretty huge.

Unironically I thought “why are random women who look like they teach second grade posting on c/amiugly?” I only realized this was a trans sub after I finished reading the title. I just saw this on the all feed lol. I wouldn’t say you look younger than 35 tbh but I also definitely think you look like a woman.

Robots do bake. Actually, a lot of the food you eat is partly made by machines. It’s how we aren’t all starving right now, and why famines are so much less common. As good as handmade bread is, it couldn’t feed 8 billion people. We have bread loaves in the supermarket made by machines, and we are better off for it.

They make USB rechargeable lithium ion batteries in every common form factor. I use lithium rechargeable AAA batteries in my mouse and they work great. You don’t even need a charger, they are USB-C. Highly recommend.

seems really different actually but I think I’ll try making this!

Kartoffel mit ei is really simple and really amazingly good

They do sell all of the components online though and at good prices. It’s not hard to get replacement parts. I’ve even seen Voron and ratrig people making mods to use bambulabs spare parts in their custom machines because they are way more affordable than comperable high performance parts from other sources.

I use my front facing camera to see under things all the time. It’s very useful, even though I don’t take selfies. I’m an engineer though so I probably spend more time looking under things than most.

in that price range you can get a bambulabs X1 carbon, which is an extremely high performance and high reliability machine. If you want to save a bit, the P1P is also really good.

I am a hardcore custom printer guy who loves building everything themselves, but even I have to admire this machine.

Don’t listen to people recommending ender 3s or anything creality, but prusas are also a good option, if a bit outdated.

I have long history of being intrigued by this phrase. I wonder which Reich it refers to?

I’m running a rapido UHF on an EVA. It’s partially to hold me over until I can sort out how to properly clean my cht volcano bimetal to fully fix my curling problem, because I have to chose between the flow reduction of my backup nozzle or the curling on the fancy one.

I really do need to sort this out because I keep running into it on different machines (even ones I don’t maintain myself, like in labs), but I can’t find anything about it on the internet. last time I made a post about it nobody knew what was causing it, but a nozzle swap has normally fixed it.

The top layer curl is something I’ve experienced on 3 different printers so far, to varying degrees. I think it’s caused by a very light partial clog. I switch out the nozzle to fix it normally, but the pattern has grown on my for general use. I just think it looks kinda neat.

this is cool, but kinda overkill. I just printed a super simple insert that fits snugly into the spole hole and the problem went away completely.

I go through 3-4 spools a month so carboard has been huge for me.

what’s the best way to post videos on lemmy? Know a good hosting site? Also, I’m working through filament pathing issues right now so it’s not going as fast as it could be.

Considering you can freeze a whole mouse and have them survive after unfrozen, but not a human, I wonder how well this will carry over.

I think allowing only discussion of how to set up lemmy instances via command line would make sense.

this is the least offensive cube rule example you could have posted tbh.
