The filament somehow got wound under itself and formed a knot. Extruder couldn't pull any more. stuff got stuck.
I thought i'd cleared it out, but apparently not. & now there's a clog in the middle of the heating chamber / tube that refuses to budge no matter how hot I make it or how hard I shove with the wee needle thing.
I can't open that up so... it's just dead i guess.
😿 the 0.6 nozzle was clogged too. I definitely cleared that clog though.
ALL of these clogs have ultimately been due to filament doing things it wasn't supposed to: breaking + ??? (with the wood impregnated), getting tied in a "knot" so it couldn't be pulled off the spool, and breaking because brittle from too wet... i think.
I've replacement nozzles & the https://noclogger.com/ tool @gooba42 recommended after watching a vid. Maybe it can save my 0.4mm.
@Natanox@logicalmoody I honestly don’t think the problems have anything to do with a printer, although I do think that a bed slinger would be worse because I theorize it would induce more wiggle.
From my testing last time ( see the toot i linked in my reply to myself), it really does seem to just be an artifact of those two skinny sections
holy 💩! DAYS after updating the "Social Preview" for #FediThready - at least 3 - GitHub FINALLY started serving up the image instead of the default stuff.
BUT I made a "it works just give it time" post with a link, only MINUTES after having it work in a DM, and guess what? IT'S NOT WORKING... but ..it is... sometimes?
i should note that the angle of your inclined plane plays into the look a lot. As with the stair-step look, the more shallow the angle the farther the waves will be spread from each other.
I would suggest that you're probably going to have a lot more value from playing with the width of the sine wave than the height.
If the sine waves get much taller than this, the eye starts noticing the ridges more than the pattern.
Also, we now know what caused those trails in the silt that I posted a week or so ago.
Now we really want to get rid of the beaver because as I filmed Ted making her way back into the pond it was clear that the silt built was a significant problem for her.
I went and checked on it. it is mostly good. It does not appear creatures have tried to get in. There is a little gap that I need to address but my back really hurts right now so hopefully I can do that later today.
I also still need to come up with a solution to hold it down that will free up those weights
Do any of you know of a package that lets me use slack / mastodon style emoji insertion?
Between Mastodon & Rocket (awesome macOS app) I keep starting to type : foo : instead of going to M-x insert-char
Obviously we can't just use : foo : because programming languages use colons all the time, but surely there's something similar we can do like !: foo :! or whatever.
🤔 I can't remember a language that combines colons and bangs.
@masukomi it’s probably still a USB3 cable, since it has the 3.0 small rectangle added to the micro-B fancy shaped bit.
The USB 3.0 A side (standard USB shape) is backwards compatible by having 5 extra pins in the back of the cable. You can (hopefully) see those 5 pins way in the back of this photo, with the standard 4 pins on the bottom plastic bit.
That’s the secret sauce to 3.0 using the same 2.0 plug, add pins to spots that weren’t normally used.
on top of literally being the most frustrating & maddening conversation with a hospital employee I've ever had, it took a LOT to get past the executive disfunction pushing me to not deal AND no-one wants to talk about gender surgery with a complete stranger in a society that makes you feel like 💩 for daring to exist.
Well 💩
I just learned that Peru 🇵🇪 signed a law last month that classifies #transgender people as mentally ill, despite lots of societal support for them.
Guess we can cross Peru off of the countries USians can flee to in November (if the cheeto gets reelected).
@angiebaby don’t count out Mexico. Last time I checked (a while ago), it didn’t require much to get a Mexican passport and 1st world poor income is generally “comfortable” in much of Mexico and Central America. Being able to make money working remotely is important though. Otherwise you end up being 3rd world Poor which is not great.
Minor Update re the #Accessibility tool I've been working on for a friend for whom Apple's palm rejection absolutely refuses to work.
We've prototyped the cover + hole shape over the trackpad & it got a 👍. Now I've gone back and added 4mm thick leather wrist wrests & there's an internal cable run for charging the trackpad.
the lighter colored "wood" in the picture is a magnetically attached plate that we can swap out if he / anyone else needs a different hole shape.
A friend of ours just finished setting up a really nice new CNC for woodworking. The plan is for me to model & prototype things with my 3D printer and then once all is 👍 he'll cut one out of wood.
alas, it's too big for my printer so I'll have to cut it into pieces & re-assemble to test.

In case it's not obvious from the photo, the top hole is where the keyboard goes and there's a rectangular hole below the triangular cutout where a trackpad would go.
