I was a drama kid and as such am usually the loud, boisterous one when playing DnD (as DM or player). I’ve come to terms that most of my friends are going to appreciate my roleplaying, but respond mostly out of character, and that’s fine.
But when someone does respond in a character voice, it feels so great!
Yeah I feel you. I’m doing two campaigns right now, one is my first time as a player and the other is the first time as a DM haha, as a player I’m a bard so the face of the party and my old-school improv skills are getting tested for sure!
Personally I find fleshing out your character’s backstory makes playing them a lot easier. If you know your character inside and out, you don’t have to translate an event into their “language” and think about what they would do or say from their perspective, you just let the thing happen and the character will tell you how they respond.
When you laugh at our jokes, or respond (in or out of character) to our banter, or lean in with keen interest during an epic monologue, you feed our energy with yours. I can’t get into a back-and-forth with a brick wall; even if you just laugh and describe what your character does instead of acting anything out, if I know you’re having fun with it that gives me the mental fortitude needed to keep acting ridiculous.
Being the only one in character is one thing, it’s a little awkward at first but once everyone knows it’s your thing it’s fine, but if you’re the only one in character and everyone else just kinda deadpan responds it’s an instant vibe kill. If there’s someone in your party that is always in character, even if nobody else is, that means you make them feel comfortable enough to express their character, and that isn’t nothing! I know they appreciate you letting them channel their character.
I’m a small vinyl collector (not the kind with a wall full of ancient albums, but if I really like an album or want to support a smaller artist I’ll buy their vinyl). It’s mostly the first and last points for me. I used to be (and still kind of am) an audiophile type but I can’t really tell the difference between vinyl and streaming from Spotify, so the quality argument is out the window for me. But being able to listen to multiple albums without touch the volume knob is great, and I love going through album artwork, reading anecdotes from the artist, etc. One of my favorite vinyls is a sort of concept album that tells the story of a man who threw his life away to the sea only to be “reborn” a new man, and the album artwork inside the vinyl is absolutely phenomenal. (Deep Blue by Parkway Drive for the curious)
I had a similar realization recently. When I was younger I’d be excited for something for months at a time, but now that I’m older I can’t really look forward to something until it’s right there.
I’ve been trying to look forward to small things lately, even if it’s something small I’m doing for myself like a nice dinner. It helps
If you drop some pictures we can better diagnose the issues you’re having with your extruder. But, if you decide to get a different extruder, there are many aftermarket alternatives that may offer better performance/ reliability than the stock one. I recently got a knock off BMG extruder (I believe this is compatible with your setup) and it performs many times better than the one that came with my Neptune 3. Keep in mind that if you get a different extruder, you will likely have to change your extrusion rotation distance; look up how to do it depending on your firmware, it’s really easy once you know what to do.
At least so far. The first go round had the nozzle crash into the tree support, resulting in a layer shift. The good news is that the print stayed very firmly stuck to the bed....
I do get where you are coming from with outlining all of the precautions you have taken, and I agree that the print is 99% likely to go just as fine as all your other ones, but there’s no amount of planning or prepping you can do that will change the fact that putting a pile of flammable articles over a massive source of thermal energy is indeed a fire hazard.
This is coming from someone with a very not ideal setup that does not have great fire safety precautions. (It’s inside a wooden hutch with a curtain draped over it for heat retention… 😬) I understand that my setup is dangerous, and I accept those risks. You aren’t making yourself any safer in denying your own.
EVGA had PSUs that blew up. Samsung is still too afraid to put ultra fast charging in their phones because they were blowing up. AMD GPUs were starting fires like 10 years ago. Just because you bought nice parts, doesn’t mean you aren’t dumping a ton of power through very delicate and fragile components that at any second could decide to kill themselves and everyone around them.
Not trying to say you shouldn’t do this because it’s your setup and you know it better than people online, just that you should keep in consideration when making these decisions that none of the things you’ve explained will matter if a large capacitor goes pop, and if it’s under a pile of sweaters you’ll probably have a much bigger problem to deal with than you would have otherwise.
We aren’t saying that the clothes are going to cause the printer to catch fire.
If the printer did catch fire, those clothes are going to make it a million times worse. You’re correct when you say most of the printer is not flammable. If your printer caught fire normally, it might run out of fuel before the fire was able to spread anywhere else in your house. If there’s the tiniest flame now, those sweaters are going to create a ball of inferno. It’s the exact same reason why every space heater says not to dry clothes on them, 99% of the time nothing bad will happen but if something bad does happen that 1% you don’t want to literally add fuel to the fire.
People are going to be fine with the “better looking” insulation because as you said insulation is made for this purpose and is usually fire retardant.
It’s a dangerous setup man. No if ands or buts about it. I’ll say the same thing again, I’m not here to tell you to change anything because mine is dangerous too, but if you’re going to do stuff like that it’s really important that you understand what you’re doing (and why it’s dangerous). I get that people online tend to try to find issues with everything, but sometimes people aren’t just complaining because something “looks bad”, and in communities like this it pays to look into stuff before assuming you know better than everyone trying to tell you the same thing.
When printing on my Ender 3 Max Neo (stock except for a PEI bed), the right side of the bed is always printing too close. I manually leveled the bed, and then I run the auto-leveling sequence. I also have it set to run auto-level before every print, and confirmed that it’s enabled using M420 S1 after the G29 in the opening...
I’ve got a long shot, but I saw a similar post a while back where someone was having extrusion issues on specific parts of the bed. After everyone was digging through diagnosing the gcode, extruder, hotend etc, ended up that the bowden tube was getting bent/stuck at certain positions and was keeping the filament from flowing properly.
IIRC, your printers cables running to the nozzle come from the left side… are they maybe getting caught on something as the nozzle moves to the right? Or anything else that could cause your print head/ sensor to get pulled or pushed while on that side of the printer?
I saw in a comment you’d mentioned some bolts had come loose - check the bolts holding your z-axes bolts and make sure they aren’t loose too. Have you tried calibrating bed tilt? (I don’t have dual z so don’t know much about this but do know it’s a potential problem)
I know you can, I do the same haha. What I’m saying is, they couldn’t have both accidentally read the 50mg as 50% while simultaneously claiming to have calculated exactly how much would be needed to dilute it to 49%, because diluting it to 49mg and 49% would be two different calculations and it’s unlikely they’d make that mistake after doing the calculations.
I’m not trying to be rude here, but the math is not my problem, I understand dimensional analysis.
After doing that calculation, is it likely that you are going to mistake the term “percent” and “mg”, or after doing something so specific with units are you more likely to use the right one?
I’m saying that if OP actually did any of this (you say their math is on point but they didn’t do any haha) they’d probably be using the correct term rather than the incorrect yet common “street” term
The reason they say this, is because using inspect element is going to give you a cleaner result 100% of the time with way less effort.
If you use an image editor, you have to worry about making sure all of the pixels line up properly, the right font is used, right font size is used, make sure that the margins are the same, if you make a small mistake you practically have to start all over…
Right click > inspect element > find the text block you want to toy with > type what you want > done. And it looks exactly the same as if it were part of the website, every time.
Different strokes, yes, but if I see someone cutting their food with a chainsaw I’ll at least make sure they know how a steak knife works.
Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.
If we talk about low-end China printers then the answer is they might not be as safe
Bambu had to recall one of their printers for a faulty bed heating wire that either was causing or had the high likely to cause fires. We have robots with flame swords that we’ve trained to not burn our house down. Yes some robots are better built or trained than others but it’s still a robot with a flame sword nonetheless.

Oh I love that. It happens a lot in political discussions when you don’t 100% agree with someone’s point.
“I don’t think defunding the police will solve the issues we’re facing” means getting called a boot licker and that every comment you’ve ever made that doesn’t scream “I hate cops” is about to be linked to for proof that you’re a Trump loving Nazi.
