To be honest the Volcano HE is the wrong thing for printing small detail like a DnD character. If you do all the calibrations it can print quite well but will never have the control thats needed for high detail prints. Your best bet is to have an extruder setup that makes it easy to change out the HE. I run both the volcano and normal E3D v6 and swop them out when needed with a EVA extruder.

HP is a horrible company. They make things up just to make life difficult for consumers. Everyone should boycott them I make sure none of the hardware the company I work for is HP as well.

We are all waiting. Currently a claim has been made and some other claims that it could work both from modeling and replicating the process.

We are waiting for other labs to do proper peer reviews and verify the results. That still won't mean it does what we hope it does just that the results are the same as what was found in the original claim.

So still a long way away from knowing what is actually possible.

At home I started running Linux Mint years ago in a dual boot setup and rarely use the windows partition anymore.

For work I've threatened to do the same a few times but never actually got that far.

I think it helps with all the software going cloud based so the reasons of needing windows only apps are slowly disappearing even if that's another can of worms.

Managing heat is a large part of circuit design. Superconductors can fundamentally change everything about it meaning far smaller much faster and more capable in every way. As an example 95%+ of modern CPU's and GPUs are cooling related. The actual chips are tiny in comparison to the whole component.

Billionaires are going to Venus now. Titanic trips are so last seaso.

There are some plugins you can try in octoprint.

Personally I would probably install cura engine or PrusaSlicer on the pi SSH in and use the CLI to slice the stl and upload the gcode. You can probably write a script that monitors a folder and runs a script to do it all when a stl is dropped as well.

Most brands should work fine. Same with hairspray.

I've been using glass print surfaces and glue stick for 10+ years. I just wash off the glass with warm water every 2-3 prints otherwise just add a new layer of glue stick before printing. I'm going to try a G10 print surface next as I finally found some in my country.

If you pull back all the layers of this onion you will most likely find out its just humans manipulating a situation to fund secret projects and funnel money into private corporations. It happens elsewhere as well but mostly under other different veils.

I've used https://sequencediagram.org quite a bit as well. Its a text based sequence diagram generator and its been handy over the years.

Thanks I'll give that a try. I also found another post on here about the Manifold engine that's way faster. Its only in the dev releases at the moment and the under preferences/features/manifold

Somewhere we went from finding those who do wrong and punishing them to censor everything because everyone is bad.
