PLA is widely used as a medical plastic and its normal decomposition is into lactic acid.
Even if it is just being atomized down into smaller and smaller particles it’s safer for you than any other common plastic.
The colorants added are the only risk
Gotcha. The other issue with microwaving it on high settings is they burst releasing a dust of silica and indicating color, neither of which is good to breathe. If you’ve got good ppe and ventilate you should be fine.
It will kill the color changing effect tho
The video specifically calls that method out as dangerous and toxic.
Microwave is fastest but you’ve gotta do it at an extremely low power setting and he recommends not using it with a food microwave
It’s in the linked video
It was just the crush core iirc but that required servicing the entire leg.
Not to mention the landing legs being single use - they have to replace them each landing.
Per capita with total as tiebreaker:
Brazil 94kg
Germany 78kg - 17% less than Brazil
China 76kg - 2.6% less than Germany
UK 76kg - 2.6% less than Germany
USA 73kg - 3.9% less than UK/China
France 61kg - 16% less than USA
India 55kg - 10% less than France
Russia 33kg - 40% less than India
I am not! I hadn’t heard of it until just now. Very neat project.

What a mediocre story

It’s a dangerous command - I’d rather not run it by accidentally hitting the f key a second time.
If you’re doing something bigger you’ll want to set a raft - 85°C bed petg as the support, PLA as the main material.
Soluble support settings.

I’m traveling at the moment so I don’t have my exact settings handy
Re:filament sensor triggers
Are you sure it’s the PVA? I had a faulty sensor in mine and it behaved like that.
Also when it comes to soluble supports I have had excellent success using PLA and PETG. They chemically do not bond so you can print them like soluble without needing to post process it.
Definitely makes me nervous - not a huge FL fan. But I also see how they make sense as a team.
Melting polar ice is releasing CFCs back into the air, exacerbating the problem.
Looking at random Facebook marketplace postings I’d say you should go with a mk3s from Prusa. In NYC I’m seeing them for $350-$500 used and they’re fantastic printers. Very much on the tool end of the tool:hobby spectrum.
Prusa mini or bambu are definitely common. Mk3(s/s+) will also be common, maybe even more so.
Steer away from Creality if you want consistent and easy printing: it’s a tinker machine.
And now with the US included - https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy?time=1870..latest&country=OWID_WRL~CHN~RUS~USA
Which China surpassed thanks to the idiotic way the USA handled COVID.
Always keyboard and mouse, never controller.
But yeah I’ve looked into alternative setups but it ultimately always means additional hardware to run the windows games.
My main machine is 95% gaming and 5% hobby work in CAD (also not on Linux) for 3dprinting.
Any coding is already a Linux laptop thing.
Yes but we’re also more mastodon less bluesky. If a bluesky-esque clone of Reddit comes along with better UX and paving over the issues of federation then it will win, the way Bluesky has beaten out Mastodon as the Twit alternate
