  • If this was during an auto level, it’s my humble opinion that this is a manufacturer’s defect in the machine that caused the damage. There should be proper coding to ensure that any increase in sensor pressure by (delta p) halt that machine and that there should be a pressure offset in the sensor such that a loss of signal or anomalous zero reading or lack of reading is done prior to levelling to ensure that a sensor failure has not occurred. My XL freaks out if a fan isn’t spinning at the right speed, so they clearly know that a nominal operational check before the print starts is proper engineering design.

    Of course you won’t get anywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of 3D print failures really are user error so I suspect that’s their default response and it takes them a good deal of proof to push them of that mark.




  • TBF, I got a finger wagged at me when I missed a recurring-fee cancellation date and I had only locked the card instead of deleting it. It notified the fraud department and they (claimed in the email notifying me that they) locked my entire card out and had to call them to remove the lock. They then went through the “you should remember to cancel” speech and recommended deleting the number instead of locking it. C1’s customer service is, generally, trash compared to Amex and Chase so I shouldn’t be surprised that they’re a bit overzealous in how to handle a locked card. Still, it’s a worthwhile feature.







  • Which is great if I were storing it and only opening the box for a new roll. I expect to open the enclosure multiple times a day when I’m working with it and the moisture would quickly require recharging. Also, since the box will be accessible for two printers sharing the volume (I might be able to isolate them, but it makes the working space more difficult) and there will be two doors it will be impossible to create it at the budget level I’m considering. Management of moisture, in this case, is a more achievable engineering solution than perfect moisture isolation.






  • I’ve had it for 15 years and just replaced the seat cushion last month.

    I have 5 cmdrs in elite, I think. Only one is on Odyssey. One Horizons-end-game-all-but-carrier with 6B credits and a fleet, one stuck 15,000LY in the black, two with T-9s I made for commodity storage, and one new play through that’s mid-game (the odyssey one). I’ve mostly given up since I don’t have the free time / desire to grind for alien fights and the new on-foot and eco-bio stuff just doesn’t wow me.

    Epic doesn’t play nice with Linux, and lemmy is a Linux-centric place - that’s nearly all of the hate. I find Linux to be a pain in the ass because everything else I use, and am of my games, are Windiws native. I click the install button and never have to worry about which version of proton will work. It’s the second worst thing about my Steamdeck (the first is, of course, that atrocious keyboard).

    You will be able to tell how rabid the Linux continent is here by the number of down votes I get for saying that windows is simply a better gaming platform and Epics nose-thumbing at Linux causes me exactly zero worries because I play on the OS these games were made for.
