Thoughts on 3D Printing or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Bed Leveling
Like the wrapper said, I've learned some things, and that's always good. Some are even unrelated to bed leveling. Or adhesion. Or offsets or....
Now to start printing what I've been waiting on. Here's a printed rabbit:

Imagine having a 36 hour print fail. Or any of the other number of failures that can happen. It's a lot. many expletives were said aloud when I saw balls of plastic and not lines of filament adhering to the glass bed.
Maybe resin would be more beginner friendly? But that brings a host of other concerns about handling the materials. Like I said, fiddly.
For those willing to, well, fiddle, it's certainly rewarding.

Still, testing the limits of one's patience in real time using a machine which uses hot plastic to create things is perhaps not for everyone and I totally get that.
It took me two weeks to get to this point, and I'm sure I'm going to deal with something else this week. 3d printing is like that.
This has me wondering how we present it to classes at certain education levels.

After almost 2 weeks with my shiny new FDM printer and poking, fiddling, printing, failing, fiddling, poking, more fiddling, printing, failing again, poking more, searching, poking, I've finally gotten consistent prints.
Took a while. And if the above wasn't clear enough, holy shit, 3d printing is fuckin' fiddly.
It's been an experience. Not a bad one.
Wednesday again, is it?

Today, I'm feeling considerably bisexual.
I've never been so happy to look at a wee boat. 😁

And one of these days, I'll finally remember to only mark sensitive content as sensitive.
Wednesday? Well, shit. When did that happen?
I'd like to speak to the manager of linear time.
It's Sunday? When did that happen?
Well, I finally did it. Bought a 3D printer for makin' things.
Let's see how this goes.

The more I think about NYT hiring David French as an opinion columnist, the angrier I get.
He has written so many unbelievably vile things about trans people over the years. And it'd be one thing if NYT wasn't already an anti-trans propaganda factory, but this hire takes it to a new level. He is one of the meanest, most cruel writers on this topic.

leftists who believe that men become misogynists because feminists aren’t nice enough probably think the left should be nicer to cops as well
[sighs] Back to work. Fare thee well, my relaxing end of year. Hello, return to the grind.
Ah well. Perhaps the House shitshow can keep me sufficiently entertained.
Happy New Year, #Fedi! Here's to a better one for all of us.
