But the local humans call me Phil the Drunkard

It just wants a little belly rub

“It jumped right out in front of me, I didn’t see it”

I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.

So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)

And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn’t help but share the results of.

About $3.20.

So yeah, about a dime a dozen… 111 years ago lol.

USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks

They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.

If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.

Back in the day it was a terrible loss though

In some regions in my world there’s a distinct amount of racism so some places have outlawed different people to different degrees.

For example one city outlawed Goblinoids within their city limits. Another nearby city had a curfew for Goblinoids vs outright banning their presence within their city limits.

There’s quite a a bit that can be said about quite a bit by what restrictions exist in your world and the hardships people can face.

It was a very long day that started with a nice easy plan that quickly turned into “Which POS part is preventing this thing from working”

Fun fact it was the motherboard. Though it wasn’t a consistent issue sometimes it was RAM failing, sometimes it was pcie not working, sometimes it was networking not working, etc. After swapping the motherboard everything worked beautifully.

Yes we tried reseating the CPU, yes we checked for bent pins, yes we made sure the cables were secure. Something was fucky with the motherboard.

I’ve used mine for a lot of stuff really

Weaken adhesive for opening a cell phone (like your picture)

Revive a Nexus 5X long enough to patch it and transfer the data off of it (a really frustrating process BTW)

Heat treat resin prints (place print in box, set box on bed, set bed to 80C, come back in an hour, turn bed off, wait for it to hit ambient, remove box) this process is great for hollowed prints as not only will it cause and trapped alcohol to evaporate out but it will further cure the part and increase the durability of the part as well (CNC Kitchen has a great vid on it)

Keep my coffee warm while I was building and setting up a NAS for a friend

Lychee Slicer (slicer used for resin printing) is usually pretty good but sometimes it’ll still fail

Which basically means I’d have 2 choices, go in there manually with Blender or fire up Windows 3D Builder and let it work it’s magic

I haven’t fully given up on trying to find a way to get it to work on Linux but I’ve had to take a break from trying purely due to frustration

I didn’t know about the 16-bit support, which is really cool to say the least

I see myself as still somewhat of a noob to Linux

And sometimes the Windows only software is more “Windows only” and works with Wine

Windows 3D Builder though is firmly in the Windows Only category though. Which is a bummer because in my experience it’s the best at repairing 3D models for 3D printing that have errors like holes, redundant geometry, inverted faces, etc.

If memory serves it costs them something like $10k per year 4 years ago for the Adobe suite.

Link to the vid where they talk about it

Short sighted LTT video?

Checks out

Seriously though transitioning your team to a new software suite will suck at first but it’s worth it in the long run. Long term gains vs short term gains and all that.

I’ve shucked a few drives in the past but when there was a big sale on hard drives awhile back I finished decking my NAS out with 8TB drives that weren’t shucked as they came out to be cheaper than the ones in enclosures at the time.

The main downside is warranty really and some of the drives from enclosures need to have the power blocked on one of the pins to work (can’t remember which sorry) due to the type of drive they are.

It was definitely a pretty fun session

It was also pretty fun when the old timer players were like “He does that that a lot, trust me it’s better than seeing him try to look things up”

I find I DM better riding by the seat of my pants than trying to strictly adhere to something

I’m very interested for when a price is announced for this

Hopefully it’s reasonable

No worries

And dang that it’s not one of those things as the things I mentioned in my comment are relatively easy to fix

Edit: Best of luck on solving it and I really hope to see you post about how you fixed it as I’m hella curious

Do you have the correct thermister type set in the firmware? If there’s a reporting difference that could be why. (This one bit me on my first 3D printer rebuild, now I’m way more vigilant about it)

Without a nozzle installed are you able to push the filament through the hot end? (This one bit me on one of my printers due to faulty hot end and there being a piece of metal partially obstructing the filament path. Sucked to diagnose but was an easy fix once it was found)

Is everything on the hot end tightened down still? (This one bit me a few weeks ago after a couple bolts on my hot end worked themselves lose after months of use)

Is your extruder still functional gripping the filament? If it can’t grip properly (or is jamming) this can cause clogging issues.

Have you run a PID tune?

And when you installed your thermal probe and heater cartridge did you use thermal compound?

Edit: Sorry for the really basic questions but in my experience clogging issues typically have a frustratingly simple solution.

Edit2: Does your printer have a screen not connected to Klipper?

Hell yeah that’s freaking awesome

I hope to see these become popular someday and with that kind of increase they’re likely to get a shit ton of funding
