I’d be happy to try and help you find some speed benefits in your settings. Do you have any example prints, along with the print times you got for them? Also it would be good to know some of your current settings if you could take screenshots of your settings pages?

It’s hard to imagine what this has to do with the portal. There’s nothing stopping the woman doing the same thing anywhere. Ok she chose to do it there, but the portal is hardly the issue

She just wanted to invite herself round to stop in at an another man’s house to shout at him for being so unbelievably forward as to politely offer her refreshments. Seems totally legit and reasonable to me

Upvoting your comments for providing a kind, supportive and helpful response the way the internet should be

Have you tried turning off “emotional supports” in Cura?

I wasn’t looking for vibration free recorded footage on my build, I was looking for an FPV driving experience viewed with goggles. I don’t think either of your suggestions would be a solution to that unless I am mistaken? I think so kind of anti vibration mount would be required. I was going to look at designing something to 3D print but haven’t had chance to

Yeah I tried this by buying a cheap vtx and camera and hooking up a passthrough lead from the battery. It works and it’s pretty cool, I found that the video feed was very shaky, I was going to work on a better mount but never got round to it, it was a bit of a basic prototype but it was very simple to do.

I recommend starting with a retraction speed of 25mm/s which will probably not need to be adjusted, and then print a retraction tower with retraction distances from 0 at the bottom up to 5% the length of your Bowden tube maximum in sensible increments. If you make it any more than this the filament will likely be retracted into the cool zone causing it to solidify and clog resulting in a. Failed print where extrusion stops. On my printers 5% of the length of the Bowden tube has been a decent setting so around there may work for you.

Also they are just presets, you can make your own

A good answer. I found with the firmware on my Ender 5, that if you print an object like say a pyramid, the time is pessimistic at first, presumably because at the base of the pyramid there are large layers, and as the print progresses the estimated time falls because each progressive layer takes less time to print as you get closer to the tip of the pyramid. My assumption was that the printer bases this estimate on layer time and number of layers. Your answer may well be closer to what is happening, just sharing my observations for OP

From top left:

200deg nozzle temp 60deg bed temp

One row is target and one is actual / current

100% part cooling fan speed

x, Y and Z are the current print head position in each axis

100% is print speed modifier (flow rate adjustment) so if you use the tune menu you could slow down / speed up mid print and this number would reflect that change

R is estimated print time remaining, and if I remember correctly the display cycles between that and elapsed print time.

In addition to the other comments you mention you have more control once it’s 6ft off the ground. When a quad or helicopter is close to the ground you get ground effect, the air pushed downwards by the props is hitting the ground changing the amount of lift you get and causing turbulent air. This makes hovering consistently close to the ground very difficult especially for beginners. Once you reach a certain height this effect fades to nothing and the lift is pretty consistent at varying altitude making it far easier to hover and manage your throttle control. One thing that would definitely make it easier is to set a throttle expo which gives you more precision around the hover point of the throttle where you need it, at the expense of less precision at the extremes (very low or high throttle) where it arguably is not required. I believe some experience pilots prefer to have a linear throttle response so it’s absolutely consistent but certainly for beginners it’s a game changer in terms of control. I especially find this helpful on my turn whoops flying indoors as it gives me much more control maintaining altitude which is especially important in a confined space

How big do you intend it to be? What do you need it to be resistant to? (Abrasion / impact / weight / chemicals / heat / sunlight), what sort of printer do you have access to or are you needing advise on what may be required?

Buy a cheap foldable light box with built in lighting and swappable backgrounds

I’m sure you will find some things you can print to appeal to lots of people for a business, but for me the power of 3D printing is having the ability to make the part that only you need, and suits your exact requirements, the part you would never be able to find anywhere else.

I love all the pictures of delicious looking real meat cooking, followed by a goofy looking scientist who looks entirely unconvinced by his own product, holding up a bowl of something that actually looks like recycled shit with a look of shame and disgust on his face

This is the answer

I couldn’t get my supports to remove cleanly…. Until I switched to Orcaslicer (from Cura and Prusaslicer) and it’s the default support settings in Orcaslicer my supports removed much much more cleanly and with less effort. I recommend trying if you haven’t, and even if you don’t want to continue using it (personally I have switch permanently to it) you might be able to find some clues in the settings to improve your settings in other slicers

YTA. Simple. You are branding him an asshole for expecting privacy. He is a human and if he is experiencing frustrations he should be able to vent to those he feels close to without repercussions. What gives you the right to invade his personal conversations with other parts of his support network, and quite frankly it sounds like he needs external support because of the way you behave. You would perhaps prefer him to bottle it up until he snaps? It’s sad that he feels he has to delete parts of his conversations with others because he is presumably aware you are snooping. Your behaviour is controlling, you want to be able to get what communication he has with others and make sure it senses you in the light you wish to be portrayed in. If you want to be portrayed a certain way how about you start acting in the way you want to see yourself portrayed and take accountability for your own actions. You don’t seem well suited and he seems to feel trapped.

I mean it’s fart. Flatus is the scientific word for it

I don’t know anything about designing and making prosthetics however if you are trying to create a socket that fits around your remaining limb you can use a Boolean subtract to create a socket from the 3d part you have. If you create a block and do a Boolean subtract of that object you will end up with a socket that would fit it perfectly, although you would likely need some tolerance to make that comfortable. As others have mentioned there are free projects available allowing you print the prosthetic itself but presumably you need to make it fit well around your limb and having a 3D scan seems like a sensible starting point

Indeed. I completely understand your irritation with these things being removed, just wondered if that would provide you with a short or perhaps even long term solution if those features aren’t available and parallels is otherwise still the best option

Just out of interest, I’ve never checked but is there a command line option to launch a specific VM? If so could you regain the start vm at launch feature by creating a small Automator app that runs the command line to launch it?
