Yep! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yinz

And people who use the term are yinzers

Ah, the Winchester Mystery House approach

I signed up for it last night for exactly that reason.

Not an answer I was expecting, but one I'm glad to see

I appreciate that John Ottiver is packing heat.

Nope, not at all! You've got it right.

I'm definitely a 1, and generally I don't. I do, however, really like interactive fiction in both work safe and non work safe contexts. I think I really enjoy being able to visualize it in my mind more than I do watching it.

I'm not sure if it factors into your pet theory, but I'm asexual so the appeal of physical forms is also very lost on me. That's a different can of worms that I'm happy to open if interested, but I'll leave it be if not.

Oh rad! Keep your eyes peeled for conventions!

Speaking of, Anthrocon actually just wrapped up this year. You should go next year! It's always a blast!

Ah, well, fair. Would have made for a great story! 🙂

Hey, I hear repeated sounds of exoskeleton bumping into glass. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

In all seriousness though, that's a very cute piece!

A big swing, but I'm genuinely rooting for you.

 

Hey y'all, I managed to hack together a printer from scratch and I'm struggling to get it to print well. It's a CoreXY system that's being controlled by a Octopus 1.1. Dual z screws, the works.

I have it moving under it's own power and all. It's able to actually print, but the results are atrocious.

I'm just trying to diagnose what's wrong here.

The bottom/first layer actually looks kinda good. It's just completely shredding subsequent layers.

Any advice would be appreciated!

 

Howdy y'all, much like the title says, I'm looking to build a Hypercube. I have what was once upon a time an Ender 3 V1 that I've rebuilt with an Ender Extender kit. I'm not happy with the aggressive ghosting I get from the 400x400 bed so I wanted to cannibalize the electronics and build the frame from scratch. I was also planning on keeping the bed since it's got a stick on heater and thermistor that'll work well with the new setup. Hotend too, probably, since it's an all metal Micro Swiss.

Any gotchas to look out for? I know belt tension is a biggie once I get it together, but any gotchas to look out for in the build process?

I'm not too nervous about throwing together a custom firmware for this, it's not my first custom firmware and I'm a software guy by trade so it's pretty straightforward for me.

 

I've been putting these things together for a few years now and I wanna show them off a little bit. I originally started making them to solve a problem - I'm kinda tall, and I like having a blanket that can cover me up from my head to my feet. I hadn't found any that could do that, so I started making these 6'x12' blankets. The example here is fleece on top and flannel on the bottom!

The heart is my maker's mark. Orange because leggy.
