I'm waiting for the Lucas 50th anniversary edition of Empire where Vader shoots first.

If they can charge 15% less for subscription, that means they are overcharging you 15% all the time.

While it is nice in theory to eliminate all national borders, it's not one wolf but a wolf pack. The pack is deciding democratically to respect the border of another pack.

Saying borders are "imposed by the state" is like a cub who ignores the pack, wanders into America and gets torn apart by nasty Americans.

The "state" is people.

I'd say it's because Alexander is still such a very common name.

He's asking why is it Alexander the Great but not Caesar the Great. If Alexander was so great, he wouldn't need "the great" after his name. Alexander itself would be enough.

Oh sure. But it's 12 hours of color swap time on an a1 vs 41 minutes on a u1.

It is slower but it's 5 seconds per change instead of 90 seconds. So it's up to 18x faster on multi color prints.

Uv cured resin is used in dentistry. I would assume it's safe once cured.

This doesn't seem like a daily use but specialized for running/hiking. It's like criticizing hiking boots for being uncomfortable and hard to lace compared to sneakers.

It does to me.

I'd like to smooth some model prints and chemical is the only practical method (detail too small for sanding).

Are there any ABS or ASA filaments that look silverish like Pla silk? I do want to waste money on another grey spool.

 

I'm working on some models and have found that if I add an SVG modifier, Orca slices it beautifully. But I'd rather have the SVG's "baked" in the model so it's easier for others to download and freely share the STLs and print without a 3mf.

The problem is that if I put SVG image in Fusion and then export the model, when Orca renders the G-code, the quality is poor to bad. The same SVG added in Orca looks great.

STL with decal built into the STL geometry in Orca:

STL in Orca after "Preview" so you can see the layer lines:

The same file but applying the SVG as a modifier instead of it being part of the imported STL.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get an STL to have the same quality as using a modifier? Or maybe a way to go backwards from gcode to STL so that I can share the higher quality version that Orca creates?

 

I've been pricing out components for my first new build in 20 years. (I've bought many ebay servers and a few mini PCs in between).

The parts are around $2k. But then I look at the amd ai max+ 395 PCs that are out or coming out shortly and I think I might be buying an already obsolete platform. For the same price I'd get 16 cores and over 2x the memory bandwidth.

 

I've made some prints fit in my printer by printing them at a diagonal. I work it out by spinning it until I don't get an error from the slicer.

I'd rather be able to calculate exactly what will fit beforehand instead of spinning the model around in CAD or the slicer.

Has anyone found/used a calculator that can do this?

"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.
