Man they are just the ugliest flowers. But that is cool.
Didn't realize they grew so well in pots.

Need for infinite hype means you need to full explain the thing so that the investors feel the company did everything in their power to make money back by spending extra money on marketing.

It's like a black hole of the wrong thoughts that spirals in on itself in poor logic.

Awesome job with the root veggies. None of mine came out this year. Potatoes never even flowered.

Nope. It is not.

Yeah. I will want to learn some more of this soon but part of it is picking one that doesn't drive me batty and taking some time to work with it before trying to print something complex.

But as for now I found outer wall order and x/y home compensation worked for me really well to get the pieces together. Slicer settings brute forcing for the temp win.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah I noticed that. Kinda feels like doing it in the slicer but with brighter colors.

All the best softwares are dead. I apparently used to use the Microsoft 3D builder app to do this but it's been also removed from the Microsoft store.

But good to know that some of these can still be got somehow.

I have trouble remembering what key pans and what key rotates view and the thought of actually figuring out how to manipulate the 3D file in FreeCAD felt like it was gonna melt my brain.

But thank you for the recommendation. TinkerCAD made me feel like I was playing with children's blocks but at least I understand them.

I also think I'm gonna try get started on learning something else after I brute force this stupid single print. And I think it will just be trying some of them out.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 3 days ago

Amazing. You are incredible.

Oh my God the bastards at Microsoft killed the app!

I had used that before to fix files. It was great.

I can't seem to redownload it without jumping through hoops but know this was the right answer for none coder fixes. Sigh.

Yeah I think people forget about print orientation and stuff like that with FDM.

I think the person said they printed with supports on but didn't have great results and my thought is how they didn't realize they made supports inside their part to get it to print that could have been solved with some mounting points for the bridging.

Which in theory sounds like something I could do... No animation...

But man slicer modifiers made me want to go insane and I barely managed to learn Photoshop, gimp, and the like.

But thanks. I'm noticing basically 2 camps for software and it helps at least narrow down what I'll find support for using I guess.

 

So, I'm trying to print some older models from thingiverse and I have discovered that basically all the files I want to print have glaring flaws in them.

Internal free floating structures, connector pieces and holes that are the exact same size... So on and so forth...

Do I need to learn a software like CAD or Blender to fix these? I seem to be able to do some basic stuff in Orca Slicer but it honestly seems like as much of a pain to modify the parts there as it would be to use a real software.

Is there one that's easier? I think I messed around with SketchUp once upon a time.

I am worried this feels like opening a can of worms just so that I can make a thing that already exists in a dozen forms better.

 

Kamala Harris was seen by many as simply continuity Joe Biden, a president who has long had a negative approval rating. When asked last month what she would have done differently from Biden, Harris answered: “There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of – and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”

There was no clear vision, no shared rage with the American people at the state of the country: if there was anything deeply wrong with the US, her campaign seemed to suggest, it was the existence of the Trumpist movement, and voting for Harris could finally turn the page on that.

The part that the Democrats missed again and again is that the issue with America is not just that people were and are willing to vote for Trump. It was never gonna be over just because he wasn't elected. Despite that being the message from large amounts of DNC leaders and commentators.

We can blame voters all we want but at millions of people that becomes a concept more than a specific person or group to blame. There are problems that need to be solved with more than status quo and centrism. And it doesn't start and end with Trump.

I hope we remember that as we see more of him than ever.

 

Truly a pretty terrible place for any kind of social activity.

People here are super self righteous and unwavering in their beliefs, quick to insult others and be generally bitchy, pedantic and quick to dogpile. Worst of all while still usually slightly wrong about a thing, but unwilling to hear it.

It's basically the worst parts of reddit users where we have boiled it down to the most affluent or socially insecure.

Even if it's as simple as a question people jump to defend their position with insults rather than answer it cause they get worried the person might be confused and it's best to just make sure it's a closed community as quick as possible.

This isn't an open community it's a private gated one where everyone jumped the fence and is scared that the wrong person might have come in with them.

Condescending is not welcoming.
Upvoting cause they are your in group isn't community.
Berating outcasts cause you at least don't feel like them is still bullying.

 

Man, what else have I missed?

 

As far as I can tell they are over 9 feet tall... What the hell did they bury in their front yard?!

 

Yeah... This is half a packet of seeds and they are literally hopping from the fence to tree branches literally a couple feet away.

I swear it said it was a bush type too and this is more forest.

 

Well the branch holding my bell peppers fell off entirely from the weight.... So guess it's fajita night.

I honestly have so many Serranos and jalapenos but am the only one that loves spice so.... On the plant they stay for another days nachos.

And yes I know that is a leek but my onions aren't ready and it's a kitchen scrap garden. So using what I got.

 

My in the ground bell peppers are freaking massive.

 

So, what's the general feeling on those plastic popup greenhouses?

After a particularly rough month with my plants I am considering getting a popup style plastic greenhouse for my plants.

I am kinda hoping that it would help to keep the moisture up and the shade up since a like half dozen of my peppers just got sunrot.

I have noticed my plants under my bug netting do better and my pepper plant in the ground under it doesn't have sunrot. I think it would also let me keep my pots longer in fall since in in zone 7 and cold snaps happen.

So.... Any thoughts? Tips? Etc?

 

I rent in an urban area and was given a backyard full of 6 foot tall weeds. Over the winter I managed to somewhat reduce their numbers and have been fighting them down since but also I didn't really have any money for gardening so I just went with direct inground with a bag of miracle grow for fertilizer and some cheap mulch for bedding.

Pretty much a scraps garden. I have green onions and regular onions, garlic cloves that sprouted, bell pepper and jalapenos, a potato plant, 2 basil and 3 Thai basil, a daikon scrap I'm letting flower I hopes of seeds I can plant next year, and all my beans and peas on the fence over there.

I also planted a blueberry bush that I realized I really should have kept in a pot cause I realized how long that thing is gonna grow for.

I also threw potatoes under the bush in the far back that is doing pretty good and a strawberry I won't ever be able to eat the fruit from because the critters get up earlier in the morning than me.
