3d Printer Babbling 

20mmx20mmx20mm calibration cube. sides are within a tebth of a mil accurate: finish is good, but inner shells aren't laminating properly. Going to try another run pushing extrusion past 1.1 and nudging the temperature up a bit.

3d Printer babbling 

A little tinkering with the build platform, goose up the extruder head a few degrees, and boom: Moment's Folly is no longer printing PETg, but semi-rigid polyurethane. We'll see how stable this material is before breaking out the carbon fiber fill-mesh. n.n

@mona@cybre.space @kara@occult.camp @kel@witches.town @chara Oh *that's* who Monophylos is part of! As a part-time occasional space unicorn, I bid welcomes. n.n

3d Printer Rambling 

While transferring gcode to a miniSD card and physically walking it from PC to printer is a minor inconvenience, as is saving a file from Autodesk Anything into an STL to read with an external slicer, when Autodesk decides to lose everything you've ever done? It can be *really handy* to have those STL and Gcode files lying around the place.

Mechanical Rabbit Joke: Chipped a Tooth 

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, s'about what I was wondering.

@green If they were close enough to put toebeans on either side of your head

and you got them both purring

did you hear the 'peet frequencies' as the purrs went in and out of phase?

@mawr Haven't the faintest. I'd expect there are knockoffs all over the place, tho, and I know 'resourceful' our parts scroungers can get... so I'm actually vaguely pleased to see the inside isn't pot metal or depleted uranium.

Mechanical Rabbit Joke: Chipped a Tooth 

Well, chipped a cutting surface, any how. Grain pattern looks odd - bad case harden, maybe? Looks like a clear delamination between the harder outer sheel and the softer inner. awoo.space/media/OxL2ZvBgvoU1M

work tomfoolery 

@JulieSqveakaroo It was a *fascinating* high-speed silent review of trying to figure out what I had forgotten and was about, obviously, to be killed by. Master switch? Off. HV, filament? Switched off, locked out. Residual tube charge? Bleeder circuit *and* grounded via staff and groundwire. No possible way there's any juice in this th-OH GHOD I MUST BE ON FIRE SOMETHING SMELLS AMAZING IS THAT CHIPOTLE WHY DOESN'T THIS HURT

Concerned Tech Question (Net Neutrality Death) 

@Phorm "Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake using TCP/IP in the first place. And some said that even IP had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left FidoNet."

I wonder how far an 'experimenter license' microwave relay can reach from the top of a high church spire...

work tomfoolery 

I never really considered
how much the

*clunk*

of a microwave door

sounds

JUST

like a high-voltage power supply transformer being shunted online

(*bcHNNNQUE!*)

until I was in the 20,000V half of the work laser

up to my elbows

and my coworker decided to nuke a burrito behind me.

@emanate This explains the small migratory groups of chinchillas who follow you about through your day. Fresh ash is a luxury.

Rabbitry. 

Flayrah when I'm hungry, 
And bink when I'm high
When Inlé-rah comes for me,
I'll lay down and die
Wry Whiskers, Wry Whiskers, 
Wry Whiskers my doe
If you don't love me Wry Whiskers
I surely must go
I'll abandon my owsla
and find a new town
Or live my life hlessi,
Alone and atharn
Make flay when I'm hungry,
Hlaozen when I'm dry
Bob-stones when I'm hard up
and Inlé when I die
Wry Whiskers, Wry Whiskers,
Wry Whiskers I sigh
If you don't love me Wry Whiskers
I surely will cry.

@mawr Hey, full disclosure is good to know. Oversharing, maybe, but good. XD

@JulieSqveakaroo Your friends are your friends because of who you are, not because of how you're like them in every way. *hugs*
