When building extruders, make sure you properly tighten the grub screw to attach your gear to the motor shaft. If it's loose, it'll gradually work itself free, and then your extruder will jam.
Interesting. Reading between the lines, you printed extruder parts from ABS - my extruders have only been #metal and #POM, no other #plastics. I'm curious why the Gorilla stuff would be better suited to ABS than Loctite or others? Gorilla's red still seems to be methacrylate-based, like the others.
I've mentioned before they make up their own estimated #delivery#dates, which are more #optimistic than the carriers themselves estimate. They do this to drive #sales; #buyers are less likely to buy if it'll take a long time to get to them.
Today: buyer in #Australia ordered, delivery by surface #mail. #Canada Post estimates 24-84 business days by surface. That's up to 17 weeks, plus extra because of holidays in there.
#Etsy gave the #buyer an estimated delivery date of 5 January.
Despite the #holiday rush, when #packages are always slower, despite the #holidays when Canada Post and others are closed, they provided him an estimate right at the bottom end of that "official" #estimate.
And then, the buyer will probably (rightly) be angry when it takes until February, because Etsy promised it on 5 January.
And they don't provide a way to override the estimate they display.
[EDIT: I took down the photo because it was posted by the tattoo artist, not Jimin, so I'm not 100% clear whether he's cool with it. Instead for now have a cute sweater Jimin.]
Remember #Patreon set up new on-by-default sharing of your account information with every other Patreon user (and maybe the world)? Remember people posting how to turn it off, because they were using confusing language/dark patterns to try to #trick you into oversharing?
I got the "welcome to the new Patreon" today, and ... they've turned the "Community Profile" setting back on after I deliberately turned it off.
