This factory was supposed to be producing Tesla Solar Roof tiles which is now vaporware. And the only reason Tesla owns the solar business at all is because he bailed out his cousin or something by buying the business from him.

I heated up the nozzle separately in some boiling water and scraped off almost all of it. Then I put it back into the hot end and heated it up to 200 C, took it back out and q-tipped off a lot of the rest. There’s still some but I’m running a print right now and it’s working fine.

PLA

Wrong. If she wants to help, she should start talking up how great Trump and Musk’s policies are.

Heat

The same one twice

Dude, fuck you. You don’t know me. I’ve been on the front line dealing with DOGE’s bullshit since day 1. I’ve been to 4 protests in as many weeks. I’ve made numerous phone calls to my representatives.

Fuck Elon and fuck you too

Speaking as a Federal employee myself, this is now the 4th president I’m serving under. Some of my colleagues have seen more come and go. We were here before Elon and we will be here after.

Protests and vandalism are the effects of a shitty brand, not the cause. Musk himself is the cause.

White straight dude. Who isn’t 100.

Secretary Mayor Pete would kill it but he could never get elected.

I believe this one is called the double penetration

I don’t know what a direct drive extruder is but I have a Bambu A1

How is PETG different (better?) than PLA?

I designed and printed a fender for my kid’s bike. It would be totally usable as a fender but he’s a savage so he broke the first one within 30 seconds of me installing it. Then I changed the design to add more support and that one lasted a full hour before he broke it off. So I’d like to print the same design again in a new material. I think either of these two would work, as they would put up with more abuse in different ways. one would be much harder and the other more forgiving.

I don’t love the idea of the toxic fumes. I don’t want to get an enclosure and the printer is in my home office off of my living room. I could crack a window and let it run overnight but that sounds inconvenient.

I’ve been using Signal since like 2016 when it was also my sms messenger. I’m also a federal employee. I’ve tried so many times to get people to use it and no one did that I eventually gave up trying. Until 2 weeks ago. Now I have well over 100 Signal contacts. Mostly government employees but a lot of others as well.

But did they keep a good ratio though?

Musk also said that the company could become cash-flow positive “within months” nearly two years ago, and it still faces over $1 billion in annual interest payments on the loans.

3 months maybe, 6 months definitely

Does stagnant actually mean negative?

But does running this cost the AI bot at least as much as it costs you to run?
