Since there isn't really a specific airbrush community, i'll try dumping my issue here ok? I'm following the Q/A structure of the airbrush subreddit for completeness sake :)

Alright, so I just got my first airbrush for my birthday - for mini painting - and I'm getting very unreliable / unpredictable paint flow after an initial clog and cleaning.

Airbrush make and model

Timbertech ABPST05

Compressor make and model

Same name, came with the set. Running just over 20 PSI during open airflow.

Paint or other medium you are using

First some Vallejo Black Primer with Vallejo AB Thinner, then some Scale75 White which clogged.
Now I'm struggling with Citadel Shyish Purple contrast paint with thinner despite its already very liquid nature.

Have you done anything different lately?

After thoroughly cleaning (stripping the whole thing, running Timbertech AB Cleaner through the pot -> nozzle etc) I slowly started noticing unreliable spray pattern:
I open airflow, then pull back ever so slightly -> a thin stream comes out for maybe a second -> stops. I pull back a little more -> a slightly bigger stream, then stops.
Once I hit a "wall" on the trigger, it starts working a little bit better but still not entirely reliable.
No bubbles appear in the tank during this.

Have you tried using just water, tear-down and cleaning...

Just water feels like it's working fine, just thinner also seems fine. I did a full tear down after it first clogged because that's how a YT video told me is the right way to clean an AB after every use T_T
I'm pretty confident that I put it all back together right.

I switched out needle, nozzle and cap. I let some cleaner flow through the pot, out the front without a nozzle on to check the channel isn't blocked.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Probably the most satisfying print so far.
almost full plate, entire model done in one go.
It's a walker by Station Forge.

Some parts reattached in the corners as you can see, i'm assuming because they managed to peel off the fep there down the line.

Very odd failure anyway, i'll just reslice, and retry.

Pretty mean how hard this one was to detect. I paused and checked the print and looking at a full plate of solid supports made me feel safe :(

No clue if too moist or too little FAE, but I'm here for whatever the fuck this is :)

Left bag is also doing a weird blob which sprouted two separate new growths too:

Already harvested some parts of the left one, as they were getting slightly brownish at the tips.

I've been going ot the gym for a little while, using GZCLP on Perseus.
Been making steady progress (besides a longer dip after a nasty cold) but I still struggle with deadlifts, especially now that they're getting a bit heavier.

1. I got a shit back and inherent anterior pelvic tilt, it's easy to tweak the lower back for me. I put a lot of emphasis on keeping it straight, neutralizing the tilt and bracing the core to support it.
   Still, sometimes I feel the pinch near the sides of the lumba spine. Any advice to help with that would be phenomenal.

2. I got stupid knees. They're not injury prone or anything, but they stick out. Several times now I bruised them pretty severely, mostly on the way down. The bar slides down the quads - as I learned it should - and then bonk into the tissue just above the patella before continuing around the knee.
   What am I doing wrong?

Here's my form at the moment of impact

This is roughly where I hit and bruise

The first flush stopped with two pingpong sized fuzzy balls, after low oxy, high temperature thanks to a record summer.

This is the second flush. Probably got too moist and a bit too warm again because of a late heatwave. Any other guesses on why its so deformed?

Will make some battered wings from this :)

Noch immer nicht ideal aber n spannender schritt.

For all of human history, eating meat has meant slaughtering animals. But scientists behind cultivated meat say that's no longer necessary. They produce meat by growing cells extracted from an animal's body. And, today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture gave its first clearances to sell meat produced this way.
