The polite security guard (same one from a year ago) knocked on my door about thirty minutes ago. I had been sleeping on my couch while a movie was playing.
Apparently, the downstairs neighbours called 30 minutes before that, about a noise coming from my unit.
I was, basically, sleeping, no feet touching the ground, and the television was playing low volume Warhammer 40k lore videos (the soft spoken type).
They're the mascot for #SharkeyWorld, an instance powered by @Sharkey (cc: @ruud). It's a community of roughly ~120 members, and part of the rapidly growing squad of instances based on this #Misskey fork. #OhHaai
Haai is also the Dutch word for shark, and also is a homophone for a greeting (Hi!).
Did not know that. The moulding around the hot-end on my printer was packed-in with filament, making it very hard to print — it harmed the adhesion to the print plate rather terribly. The interior of the module (the plastic casing for the hot-end) was also slathered with hardened plastic, breaking the z-sensor of the hot-end.
Also, in #3dprinting news... I learned how to replace a hot end today.
@TheWillofAvis Well, white elephants, if I recall the origin of the idiom, are rooted in malice. I'm not sure it's malicious -- just... a terrible way to push a feature, without consideration for the end-user.
So in my ongoing journey to re-learn @Blender, create .STL files, and use this 3d printer of mine...
... I present to you a prototype for my Fueling Brains & Academies business cards. Now I just need to figure out the stringing and cleaner prints around the curved logo and text. #3dprinting#blender3d
