Oh, good to hear!

Oh sorry, how many hundredths of millimeter are you are adjusting at a time. You should just make small adjustments and try them on a small first layer test print. But I guess you’re live adjusting, so what I said doesn’t make a lot of sense

Also, how much are you adjusting, in terms of steps?

Yeah, a warm soapy wash is definitely a good step to include here. Let us know how it comes out

I was gonna say the z offset is too low, so the filament is getting squeezed around the nozzle and bunching up in those gobs. Did your adjustment work?

Oh lord, as someone teaching a bunch of technologically illiterate college students something that requires a lot less computer skills, teaching CAD to today’s high schoolers sounds rough. I am a millennial that started on DOS, and joke to them that back in my day, to play video games I had to climb uphill both ways in the snow, and, use a terminal lol. And funny that you mention your KDE setup, I use plasma and one of my first thoughts was “I bet there’s a KDE widget/applet for that” haha

Ooooh that looks interesting. I haven’t messed around much with tailscale since I set it up a few years back and hadn’t noticed this. Funny, I was just the other day wondering if they might have something like that, but didn’t look it up. Thanks!

Yeah, what @[email protected] suggested is definitely the easiest thing and super practical - I got family members on my tailnet for this purpose. I am however now also looking into some kind of tunneled, reverse proxied and authenticated way to expose a few of my services to other friends where I don’t want to have to put them on tailscale or potentially expose them to more than needed via that route.

I haven’t started yet, but I am updating my network set up soon to install a dedicated OPNsense router as the edge for my network. From there, the plan is to have a cloudflare tunnel that accesses some of these services via a caddy reverse proxy, with Authelia for authentication. That’s the part I have studied enough to feel confident I can do. I am a little weaker on the networking aspects of this, which is where I need to study some more - like isolating those services that are exposed in my network, while still giving them access to some other needed resources within it, etc.

Honestly my biggest issue is with not moderating out the dozens of ridiculous entries that are either unrelated or just tinkercad screenshots of unprintable objects that were slapped together without even knowing how to use the align tool. Bonus for the ones that are not even screenshots but photos of someone’s monitor showing their ridiculous tinkercad thing. Like, what are they thinking? Why even submit?

I like contests as curated collections for me to browse through, and the scrolling through all that crap kinda annoys me. Maybe they’re curating them out now, it’s been a while since I looked through them. I know it’s a minor pet peeve thing lol

Ah thanks for letting me know about Rx Resume! Great resource, and actually solves the last mile problem (creating the document) of my little personal app. I am a bit of a jack of all trades, so I made a little database for the resume where the lowest level item (the little bullet points in the experience) can have tags attached to them. So I might describe the same job/experience in multiple ways depending on who the audience is, and then filter for the tags to only get the bullet points that are relevant for that position and generate a resume.

Now instead of going into some whole slog of coding document generation, I can just export that bit as JSON and import into Rx Resume! Thanks again!

Oh wow, that’s crazy, cutting a notch! Yeah, I only considered the nozzle, not all the other parts…

Can you expand on the glow in the dark filament? Are you talking about abrasion/safety of your extruder, or safety of handling etc. I am not concerned about my extruder seeing that I am using a tungsten carbide nozzle, but I have made GITD stuff for kids (older ones, not young enough to be putting stuff in their mouth lol)

Ah thanks! I am working with .NET, and I was surprised how there’s little out there in terms of (open source) libraries for LaTex (I did some research since this comment). I might end up going with docx via the OpenXML API. Also, I haven’t really used LaTex before (has been on on my learning to-do list), and once I started messing with some templates, I realized I need to learn a lot more first.

One thing with my documents is that find and replace alone won’t work, as I need to replace some patterns. I am generating resumes, so I need to take something like a pattern for a job, and then repeat it several times

Ah, that’s the only thing I was thinking of, but it surely didn’t sound like you trying to develop a product on top of it haha

Just curious, what’s their reasoning?

I am working on something similar and also planning on LaTex because it will be so easy to do find and replace because it’s plain text (just adding placeholders like ##NAME## or whatever), but I’m only planning on outputting PDFs, which would be easy enough. I don’t think there’s many viable solutions to go LaTex to docx if that’s a big requirement for you

Sorry to be that guy lol… But what does this mean in English? Does it help me as someone with an NVIDIA card on Plasma 6 who sometimes has to jump back into an X11 session to get some software to behave, or I completely misunderstood?

I did a nozzle cam setup with a cheap borescope out of eBay once, and definitely loved watching that first layer. Eventually it gave in to the heat and I haven’t bothered to replace yet though. Also multiple cameras on octopi was a bit of a pain to set up when I did it, but that was 2-3 years ago

Oh I think I misunderstood you - do you want me to PM the docker compose and notes on the setup?

Got so carried away I didn’t answer your actual question. Yes, good speeds but then again the sucker is hooked up to gigabit fiber. But also, my speed is usually not the bottleneck anyway, I think
