It depends on the country I think? We have them too, but we don’t have road tolls. They’re used to monitor traffic and actual tracking if the police is looking for a specific licence plate in relation to a crime here.

Starch-based polymer != starch

it will be readily metabolized by the various ubiquitous species populating our biosphere. i suppose it’s a good thing. possibly the only microplastic that doesn’t suck

Not really, it is considered compostable in industrial composting conditions. It will not degrade at a reasonable timeframe in natural conditions and will basically just remain micro plastic.

I have had a few ads popup in it,

How is this not cause enough to instantly drop them!?

I think OP is asking for help with what to try next to fix the issues on the benchy, not what item to print next.

Yeah it’s pretty crazy…prices vary by the hour, and that was only the single most expensive hour in that period though, and it was way above normal. Normally it peaks around 0.35USD/kWh with normal daytime prices around 0.2USD/kWh and nighttime prices around 0.1USD/kWh.

My total electricity consumption in the 5-9pm period is only around 2kWh though, so despite high prices it’s not much money.

Hah, that’s rookie numbers man…we just hit $1.2USD/kWh the other day during the “dinner rush” between 5pm-9pm

I would definitely still tune extrusion rate on the printer profile and flow rates and PA for each filament profile

I’ve always followed Ellis’ guide start to finish. It really makes a huge difference in print quality and especially consistency of printer performance.

As for filament, I’ve found brands I really like that have good and consistent quality and stick to those. Before when I was trying different brands, I found I had to tune filament settings every time I tried a different brand which got really annoying.

And it’ll only take 3-4 months to print it!..oh, and you can’t really use your home while it prints because of noise and VOCs.

I only respond to “ding”

Behavioural modifications through specific patterns of rewards is not limited to dogs…

Pavlov did some very famous experiments that suggests otherwise.

They didn’t…

That’s a pretty cool way to construct a bearing that fits the limitations of especially FDM printing.

Then I wouldn’t even sped a second trying to cancel the account…remove the disposable mail from your mail so you don’t receive forwards and be done with it.

Why on earth did you give them any real info?

I mean, it’s not unreasonable for the search engine to assume OP just didn’t know how to spell “reverse” or mistyped it…statistically that’s probably way more likely.

Annoying, yes…but being specific in search queries is always a good idea, most people just tend to be super vague in their search queries.

OP wanted gifs with reavers from firefly, but got a bunch of “reverse” gifs instead, so to OP DDG is half dead and worth nothing.

I always ditch a podcast the second i hear an ad or something that resembles paid sponsored content. removed that, I’ll pay them if I find the quality worth it, ads are cancer.
