"Bold and Spicy?" I guess the name "Sad and One Dimensional" was already taken? Prob won't buy that again.

@ottaross could I interest you in some "HANCH" instead?

I think… after 10 years… I’m finally going to apply for Canadian Citizenship.

Mechanical keyboard key cap recommendations please :)

I’m looking primarily for a set that is very readable, in the blue/black/white/grey/beige colour palette and double shot PBT. No RGB shine through needed.

Thanks! ☺️

@britt I don't know if you're a Lord of the Rings fan but on the off chance you are, Drop has Dwarvish and Elvish sets https://drop.com/buy/drop-the-lord-of-rings-mt3-dwarvish-keycap-set

(They're dyesub rather than doubleshot though)

Points in favour of playing Little Kitty, Big City:

  • Hats for cats
  • Hide in boxes
  • Photo mode
  • Pounce!

Points against:

  • None, game is purrfect

A white cardboard box. Through a hole in the side there is a black cat with green eyes looking out at you. Their tail is just visible poking out of the top of the box.
An action shot of a black cat wearing a cactus hat mid-pounce. There is an unsuspecting blue and white bird in the foreground that is definitely about to be pounced on.

#3DPrinting where to sell a model?

My Filament Stackers are ready to go, but I've reached an impasse. Thangs.com wants me to set up ongoing plans that people subscribe to. MyMiniFactory wants me to pay like $25 a month.

Are there any 3D printing focused sites that would just let me sell a model for $6 and just take a cut of the sale with no monthly fees or buyer subscriptions?

[edit: I went with Cults 3D for now: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/vertically-stackable-3d-printed-filament-shelves ]

astrovore,

@masukomi I realize you've got things going on Cults for the time being, but for future reference https://printables.com lets you sell individual models now too.

Very unpleasant looking outside as my morning starts. Not much snow accumulation (a couple of cm?) but slushy looking and howling winds too.

My primary died in the middle of a big multi-print session. Had it all apart yesterday to see the remedial work I did on the hot end last year isn't cutting it anymore.

Part I need is a new PTFE heatsink throat liner, but it's an OD of about 3.5 - 3.8mm (depending on which calipers I believe) which doesn't seem to be sold anywhere. 3mm is prob too small and 4mm (of which I have plenty) is too big.

Ordered some 3mm overnight anyway. Will try it today.

about to install a new hot-end assembly in my X1C

IT'S SO CUTE AND WEE!

Look at its teeny little fan!

astrovore,
@astrovore@mstdn.games avatar

@masukomi So cute! Does the hotend ship with the fan attached? The spare nozzle that came with my P1S doesn't have that, I assumed the hotend fan was mounted in the print head somewhere.

@masukomi That's good to know, thanks! I've been thinking about getting a 0.6 at some point too.

I realised when scanning my cards from Friday's draft that I got one with the subtly-altered art! That lampshade isn't usually green.

@tapandrollgames I thought they were rarer than that! 50/50 eh? Feels a bit less special now 😅

Currently sleeping the sleep of the righteous, @andrew was up way too late building tools to fend off the current wave of fedi spam, playing whack-a-mole with bad accounts, and getting fedi friends up and running with their own blocklists.

I’d like to convene a discussion this week or next to do a mini retro on this attack and some work around fedi spam fighting tools. If you’re interested in the discussion, @ me your email or send one to spamretro at hypatia dot ca and I’ll loop you in on it 🙏

Would love to have a proper UR/UX person on the call, I’m a mere amateur at that part 😅

Edit to add for reach 🚀

astrovore,

@leigh @andrew I don't think I have anything to add to the conversation but I'd love to listen in. Will DM email shortly but wanted to ask if you're planning on releasing a recording after the fact?

If you've built a SaaS that allows your clients to integrate with it via an API, I have one big request:

PLEASE give them a staging environment for testing their integration without having to buy another license (sometimes very expensive). Just include it.

astrovore,
@astrovore@mstdn.games avatar

@shawnhooper recently we built a (very simple) integration with a third party via API. In order to test it we had to call them and then while they were on the phone they'd tell us if the requests we were making were having the desired effects. It was bonkers.

Hey! Are you an MTG player in Canada who wants a nifty 3d-printed life counter? I've set up a little shop to help fund my hobbies: https://wubrg.club

:boost_love: Boosts appreciated

Triffen, to accessibility

Finally I will remember which part of the printer requires which Allen key, and will also see them better in that dark drawer underneath. I think it counts as an improvement.
Cheap set of heat shrink tubes from AliExpress, hot air station (I used 170 degrees) plus a video for inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67cUhytpCJg

The same DIY colour Allen keys on the palm of my hand.

astrovore,
@astrovore@mstdn.games avatar

@Triffen I did this a while ago on mine, but eventually the heat shrink came loose. Don't know if it was poor quality, the wrong size, or something else, but it was definitely worth it while it lasted!

A question for anyone selling 3d-printed objects on a small scale: What e-commerce software/platform are you using? Would you recommend it?

I would like to offer a small selection of 3d-printed items for sale but the monthly cost of a lot of the popular e-commerce platforms is offputting. $40/mo for something that I may make a single $5 sale on during that time just isn't worth it, you know?

:boost_love: Boosts appreciated!

@DrH this is rad as heck. Is it scratch-built? A kit?

Edit: I see in the thread above that it's a kit. Should have read that first 😅
