This is what I sometimes do, transfer a bit of filament to a mini roll. There are a few decent files out there for re-spooling out there.
As environmental shakey 3d printing is, I am happy to be inconvenienced by cardboard spools, as that is one disposable things we can make not-plastic.
I use Reddit for duckduckgo searches (if they lead me there) and to look for info. I interact and post to Lemmy.
Yes and no. Keeping the spammers away yes, but there is still so much more useful stuff that appears on Reddit.
I had the same with mastodon. How they explain it still makes no sense to me, and it seems like some strange echo chamber where youonly discuss 1 topic, whereas twitter is everything, and you just follow what you like.
Turns out I just don't like the twitter format anyway.
Lemmy.world does a good job simulating what Reddit does, but I don't think it will replace Reddit any time soon
I specifically use Reddit for the data retention and ease of finding "old" information, unlike basically other social media which scrubs it from any search even seconds after you looked at it (even if they still store the data)
I always print slow with it. The tiny heated bed uses so little power, maybe only 5p per hour to run, Vs my rating which was costing me 20-30p per hour :|
I could get threaded rod up to 700mm, and the v slot 20x40 v slot could be cut to any length.
The "hardest" part was all the new cables and connectors needed. The printer uses 2 types of connectors for stepper motors and end stops, even though I purchased a few meters of ribbon cable.
I tried upgrading the extruder motor, but sadly the old ender 2 you can't easily adjust any of the settings like esteps or pid tuning.
I have had cardboard spools for a while. I am on the fence. They are much easier to recycle (no matter how many 1million and 1 uses for plastic spools exist). however they creak horribly on my spool holder, and are much larger than most of the similar weight poly spools i have, so i had to create bespoke spool holders for all 3 printers i have!
With friends at a pub. Most people had flaked and didn't show up, just 1 couple. The drink was expensive and not very good. They had no food available despite it being a food festivals, and the.muaic was dreadful. Went to open RiF, and it didn't work :(
Could be developed by 1 person or 300, doesn't give them the excuse to take the low road with the EULA. 2K are literally looking at their EULA for BattleBit and going "holy shit, we can do this?"
So why is everyone comparing it to "old battlefield games". A lot of modern games, like SQUAD, only exist because the old battlefield games allowed modding.
Google has really gone to shit. "2009 Eurovision winner". 3 pages of the 2033 Eurovision winner.
Same with Google maps. "Pyramids of Giza", shows pyramids bar in London.
