My version of this with a bit more detail

Did you measure that? Would be great if it was only fractions of a mm.

Would a larger inner diameter not cause the transmission of movement to be less direct due to bending and coiling inside the tube? This is probably mostly an issue in bowden systems

There are some serious differences between a badly made loaf and a well done one though. You never stop learning. But yeah, it’s easy to get something passable.

Yeah, very nice. It will be tough to bootstrap since you need a critical mass of people who ideally live close together so that it’s cheap and quick enough to deliver the items in question.

I’ll give it a try. Nothing to loose.

I’ve been using various GNU/Linux distro over the course of the last 20 years. When I started out, packages could never be too fresh and cutting edge. Nowadays I’m an admin and I administer way too many VMs. I dream of a system that I never need to update. While I know that’s almost impossible if you want to be secure now might finally be the time I give slackware a try. I’m also old enough to be more curious about learning less but more in depth.

Libre office calc would do the trick also, every cell is a day for example

Why a gantt chart for a road trip though. There are not that many parallel things you usually do, no?

Then just keep it and stop buying keyboards for no reason.

You “just” need a longer distance inside the drying chamber. This could be achieved by coiling up the space where the filament travels through and guide hot and dry air through that space, ideally from the outlet towards the inlet. That air could maybe be pulled from the hotend cooler.

Argh finally someone tries the obvious solution. I was already considering it but was demotivated since it seemed so obvious and nobody seemed to have done it before.

This device could also probably be printed in PLA. I can’t wait until I get my lab power supply so I can give this a try with a wire coil heater.

Edit: you could even mount some PTFE tubing mounted below a heated bed and pass air through it. That way you could potentially get away without a heating element and re-use some power usually lost.

Full agree!! I use the dev version too!

The 1.0 release is around the corner. It’s only a matter of a few weeks. It has the toponaming problem fixed and a built in assembly toolbox!

I’m interested to hear how it turns out!

Thanks a lot for having taken time to respond so thoroughly. I must say I haven’t thought about things from this angle.

The part about the book and the mediocre comedian definitely rings a bell. Getting stuck in stupid local extrema (like in optimization) more often than necessary is definitely a thing with me.

What of many of the things you’re “supposed to do” are things you don’t actually want to do and therefore you don’t do? What if it’s external circumstances define what’s called a mental disorder?

Would you feel like you have a mental disorder if you lived in some completely different context?

I’m just wondering if we can call things a disorder that might mostly arise because society is built around working better for more neurotypical people (it at all).

Would you call it a disorder being tall if for some reason most people were short and all our infrastrucure were built for short people?

I’m not questioning the difficulties many people have with their lives. I’m wondering what to do about it and where the threshold is.

I often wonder as well. Then I think: is this not just the human condition. In any case I seem to score pretty high on those online questionnaires.

KDE Connect is amazing. Also works without KDE.

Not true about xmpp in general. There are modern clients out there.

What’s your problem with xmpp?
