The body shape and color scheme scream 1970s to me.

But... trash? Hopefully they're really going to a municipal compost facility.

I can't speak for other printers, but my X-Max 3 has an absurdly thick aluminum plate

The stock 350mm Voron bed is 5/16" (8mm) thick. It's quite hefty lol

(it was totally a she, but yay!!)

DTW has areas that look much the same way too. The parking structure can get you quite a distance from the terminal.

What OP meant was volumetric flow, not the extrusion multiplier. Volumetric flow caps the volume of plastic the slicer will ask your extruder to deliver per second. Fiddling with this value can help prevent under extrusion.

What you did by reducing speed is similar, but you could run into issues if you were to modify extrusion width or layer height.

Speaking in generic terms, film is way more forgiving of over exposure and digital is way more forgiving of under exposure. A fast lens is always king, but once you hit parity on that I would personally take digital for low light any day.

Less grain than a shorter exposure? Absolutely. Due to motion you still have to cap exposure duration to a somewhat small number or you'll start getting light streaking. It would be very interesting to see the exif information for this photo.

Hi, I missed this whole thing until after it ended :x

I don't know that there's really such a thing as too deep, but I've personally never put more than half of the seedling's stem below the ground when I transplant them.

Work is busy so we are not babysitting them as much as we should, but excited to see what makes it.

Seedlings are like houseplants in that the usually thrive on benign neglect. Too much attention usually means too much water and/or fertilizer, neither of which are good for a plant in a container.

The good news for tomatoes at least is that you can bury them deep when you transplant!

 

Well, almost. I didn't give myself enough tolerance in the cutout for the speaker and it doesn't fit well. On to v1.01!

 

It will be a 240x280x70ish speaker stand. The first go ground with it flat and support free resulted in warping despite a 60°C chamber, so I stood it on its end, cut print speed by a third, and added the breaks to reduce stress.

This will take a while...

Note that the bottom has a chmafer, so although there's a shadow it's not warping.

 

I turned the grow lights on early this year to grow some potatoes, which I'm sure is a totally a great use of energy. I'm really hoping to grow another round of starts after not having a very good year this year due to keeping our potatos in smaller pots and us not getting a ton of rain. Next year I'll put them in a much larger planter.

I'm also trying to get some cherry pits to seed. I collected the cherries, which were delicious, from a tree in our neighborhood. I'm betting the mother tree isn't a graft given its location and age. If any of you have any tips, I'm all ears. The pits are now a year old and spent the time in dry dirt on this table.

 

Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...

 
 
 

The coaster is shivering timbers at Michigan's adventure.

 
 

At least the Canadian wildfires are good for softer light. It's very surreal having a cloud free sunny day without the sun actually being that intense.

 

The scene smelled delicious!

 

We saw a pretty good amount of them in our yard this June. It was nice. I can't remember seeing many lightning bugs for years.

 

I'm going to have to track down a macro lens for my camera body after selling the micro four thirds kit I was using for bees last year.
