I don't have a source, some looking will find it, but NASA used to have to be in the public domain. Now they partner, and the partner gets the patents. I know the Apollo soyez mating hardware was public domain, and apas docking is still.

I also seem to remember that research paid for by the USA, used to have to stay public.

I don't have a source to quote, just memory.

There really is no good reason for not being open source.

My claim was I didn't know of any others. I've seen rat rig and voron. I'm not sure if they are really open source. I tried to contact them last year, but the documentation was locked. I'll favorite your list flow when I get some time. I'd love to build something like my first reprap.

Other than prusa, I'm not sure of any you can purchase. Of the build yourself ones, they are variants of prusa. Or corexy. For a bedslinger, I built a bear upgraded prusa Mk something. But custom, so not exactly. For my next, it will be a variation of a corexy. Smash together a voron and the other popular one. Because I don't like the bed design.

My wife wanted tulips. So we bought a dozen and planted them in a row next to the driveway. As they came up the bunnies and squirrels ate them. My wife was sad. So my wife said, if they eat a dozen, they won't be able to eat a hundred before they bloom. So we planted a hundred. After several years, we still have a couple, but we need to plant more. The critters will eat what they like. If I wanted something, I'd plant more than 3. In all seriousness, I hope it survives and thrives, I have a few, and the critters and insects like them.

I find that squirrels have a lot more time in a day to try to figure out how to get to food, than I have to try to prevent them.

If I stop the squirrels, its more interesting to the bunnies, so then they join in to try.

If the bunnies try, then it becomes a competition with the chipmunks and ground hogs.

Within a week I have a deer in my yard claiming victory over all the tiny animals that aren't as great and majestic, while standing over the hole that used to be my special plant.

Its really simple. We use a crock pot. After you get the meat off the bones, you dump the skin, bones grissle and whatever is left in the crock pot. Fill it with water and let it cook for a day or two, or three if you plan poorly. If you put in vegetable scraps its prettier and tastes different. I think the longer it cooks the more white it gets. Just add water every night if it gets low. Then can it in quart jars, or pints. You have to pressure can it, because its meat. I think that is just a USA thing, but that's what I do. Or you can freeze it.

I keep forgetting to do that. My wife even has frozen onion skins just for stock, but I forget.

I'd try raising the temp on the heat bed and maybe on the extrusion for the first layer.

The bed arcs up in the middle when it heats, so it may also be an issue with z offset. If it is 0.35 in the middle, but 0.45 at the edge, you might just need to smoosh the first layer more. Speed also effects first layer, so slowing down sometimes helps.

Find a big flat one layer test print and see what helps. Just don't doal bunch of changes at once.

My dive buddies keep it simple.

If they are out of air and they have time, they will get to me and take my octopus/secondary.

If they need my air and can't wait, they pull my main out of my mouth and Buddy breathe till we figure out who gets what regulator.

Seems simple that way. If they start grabbing my gear, I just wait and see what they want. They know how to buddy breathe, so I just trust them to give it back at some point. If not, I use my octopus.

The dive ends when you get in trouble, so either way you are starting for the surface. So move to upright facing means the length of hose does not matter.

Depression is so very hard. Its unbelievably hard. I spent most of my life depressed. 13 to 50. Not being depressed is weird. I don't know who to live without it. I tried drugs, they made it worse. Suicidal tendencies made it hard to take drugs. My first break was laughing at a kids movie, it was a real laugh. I broke down and cried. It was the beginning of getting rid of depression. Maybe 10 years before I was out of it. Things slowly changed. Lines like, "it is what it is," helped. I work on mindfulness. I avoid thinking about anything that has negative emotions. Really, I avoid thinking. Mostly, you need to change the way you think and behave. I am not the person I was. I act and do things differently. Be willing to change anything to get out of it. Fear of change kept me in it for a long time. Good luck. You are not alone. You might be able to become a survivor. Keep trying.

I agree. I'm just tired of the concept of profanity. It makes no sense to have words that can be used sometimes and not other times. Like don't swear near a lady, or children. Use the word that means what you want to convey. Someday, it will cease to exist.
