I would really like to mess around with self-hosting someday, but I live in a residential area and those sort of shenanigans are explicitly banned by my ISP. Is there anything someone in that position can do?

Doing the lord’s work 🫡

Parts for a Wimshurst Electrostatic Generator! You’d think it’d just be for fun or something, but we actually need one for supplying the charge on a electrospinning machine lol

Measure the ends, design some 3d printable caps, maybe? Except it sounds like you might need a LOT of them, 3d printing isn’t as good for that… maybe make a mold for a cap and then thermoform a bunch off of it? Orrr maybe it could be easier to grind the ends down instead?

I’m also curious about the laser engraving process! What are the keycaps made out of, and what settings/type of laser did you use on them? This isn’t something anyone has used our laser for, and I’d like to recommend it to my patrons.

Do you have any suggestions for what else one might use large perfectly spherical balls for? I desperately need a justification for building one of these 😅

I dunno about your subscribes, but mine are usually about roughly an hour a day’s worth of scrolling lol. Definitely way quieter than the big platforms, but enough for me. I also try to contribute to the niche ones when I’ve got something worth posting

At least the subscribed timeline looks nothing like this at all, but to be fair I did put a lot of time and effort into curating mine

I use this all the time, real filament saver! For the overwhelming majority of real world use cases, the strength of a part has much more to do with the walls than the interior, so it shouldn’t really be any weaker. Just make sure your walls are thick enough.

What’s the backwards R one?

We use a 3Doodler Pro+ at work, which I think might be the most expensive one out there? I’ve got to say, it really isn’t any easier to use than the cheapest alternatives on the market… There’s just a horrendous learning curve to these things in general, although if you think of it as any other art form then I guess it’s probably comparable.

On ours, I do really appreciate the wide heat range, the ability to access the dual gear extruder during operation, and the swappable nozzles. What I don’t appreciate is the ridiculous markup, the non-standard nozzle size, and them lying about only being able to use their special proprietary filament (it’s just normal 2.85mm).

Whoaa, a fedi tumblr clone?! I had no idea anyone was working on that. You rock!

Greetings from Lemmy, Uhrbaan of Mastodon!

I bet it might be fun to, just once, get all the most infamous lemmings goofing around in one thread together. Because communities are themed, maybe they don’t usually cross paths that often

…no, no, I totally get it, this makes perfect sense actually. The bard could hurt my feelings, which is way worse! I’ll take the tall buff person choking me 👀

This is one of my favorite features to introduce to people, definitely a game changer. The only thing is, when working with other people’s models, I usually don’t know if they’ve already included any additional tolerance or how much.

Our defuault PLA at work is all recycled stuff from Reflow, especially the candy collection.

I went with spectra.video, but my subscriptions are allllll over the place. I have roughly the same approach to choosing an instance on every platform:

• Not the flagship instance or one that’s similarly huge.
• Not one that’s miniscule either.
• Running as close to the latest version of the software as possible.
• Then and only then do I start comparing rules, cool content, etc.

Thanks, this was really informative! I’ve only been on the viewer side of Peertube, but I’m a fan for sure. From that perspective, another thing is that I really wish there was a better app for it. Thorium hasn’t been updated in ages, and it’s super glitchy.
