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.
A bit delayed, but I also built my own with a starter solenoid and a used car audio capacitor. I use a bench power supply to change the capacitor and made a diy foot switch to trip the starter solenoid.
This approach is pretty cheap, very repeatable, and easy to control.
Changing the bench supply's voltage lets you dial in the amount of energy delivered per weld. Just keep in mind that energy stored = 1/2CV^2^ so don't jump from say 5 volts straight to 10 volts thinking that you're doubling the power - that's a 4x increase.
