It looks like the extrusion lines could be smushed down a bit further onto the build plate, can you set your z-offest downwards a bit so that the lines merge together more?

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

They went on forever and they, when I, we lived in Arizona and the skies always had little fluffy clouds in them and, er they were long and clear and there were lots of stars at night and, er, when it would rain it would all turn, it, they were beautiful, the most beautiful skies, as a matter of fact...

Sleep for 1 hour but with all of the benefits of 8 hours.

Wimbledon is a sporting event which has a posh reputation, many seats being traditionally reserved for the upper and ruling classes. For example, on the centre court they have a area called the 'Royal Box'. I would argue that there are probably quite a few oil execs in the audience.

There is no proof that lemmings jump off cliffs together, really we are all just trying to survive.

Reddit was Fun. Such a smooth and well designed app. Godspeed!

I have a theory that the advancement of AI as demonstrated by the likes of chatGPT is gradually assimilating the data corpuses of big social media companies and using it to train bigger and better models. The social media sites are being eaten alive.

So it is only natural that Reddit would want to ban API access or make it incredibly expensive. This defense prevents outsiders from extracting their valuable data.

But there is a bigger issue that makes this problem existential not only for the likes of twitter and reddit etc. Eventually, there will be no clear distinction between a human user and an AI agent, it is already possible to instruct an agent to browse the internet and carry out actions on behalf of a user. If this process is scaled up then it becomes a de facto programmable interface to the application.

When this happens the remaining users will be forced to pay for continued access because they will have no way to verify that they are human and no way to prove that the text they are reading is not going to be used to train large language models. The business model that fueled Reddit for so many years (unpaid content creators and moderators) will fade away and the site will autocannibalise.
