I’ve got an IQ of 87. So far, tinkercad is basically the best 3d modelling program for me so I can make stuff by using arrow keys to move around basic shapes.

It’s one of the biggest problems of the whole 3d printing ecosystem that so many people are relying on software like fusion or tinkercad that could shut down, lose its free option, and see massive price increases on subscription software.

I wish I could wrap my head around freecad, but we’re just not there yet and we may never be. I feel like it or something like it must be our future because until we have a full libre software chain we’re living on borrowed time.

It bugs me that I use tinkercad but nothing foss is nearly as friendly to use, and I tried (I think it’s librecad the parametric 3d one?) But even though I understand the concept I didn’t find any success modeling with it.

Printing din rail?

Yes, work on getting your first job, don’t worry so much about getting your dream job on the first try.

Let’s say most jobs get 1000 applicants. Having a relevant education will put you in the top 200. Having relevant job experience will put you in the top 50. And not having a bunch of strange red flags that suggest you’re not going to be a useful hire might mean you’re one of 5.

It’s important to pay your dues, and early on that often means working a job you don’t want as much.

A lot of people with university degrees end up not doing anything related to their field because nobody told anyone this stuff and they end up applying for jobs they can’t get first.

I feel like phaser emitters on nacelle pylons is a general nono.

Typically you see them on thicker areas and further from the warp nacelles.

I imagine having a bunch of phased energy next to the source of your warp field could be tricky.

It would also be particularly bad if your phasers had some sort of catastrophic failure and it blew off one of your warp nacelles, or if the enemy ship was targeting phasers and blew a hole through your pylon in the process.

Unless I’m misreading the image and someone is trying to shoot the pylon.

tbf, you wouldn’t do this because it’s cheaper, you’d do it because it’s more ecologically friendly and it helps make your 3d printer a bit more sustainable.

But at 20 bucks for a spool of thread, you won’t be coming out ahead economically by recycling, I agree.

The second part is a nozzle cleaning. It wipes the nozzle on a part of the bed that won’t be used for printing to get debris off of it before printing. Cura does the same thing on my tevo tornado and actually sends a message saying what it’s doing so when I’m logged into reprapfirmware it says “cleaning nozzle”

The line around the object I believe is meant to purge and fill the nozzle. Without it, there’s a chance you start printing and a big chunk of your first layer doesn’t have any filament.

Coooooool!

I love tinkercad, but it leaves me reliant on Autodesk which I’m not happy about. I would like to find something simple to use that doesn’t rely on a server someone else runs to operate, and that includes activation servers.

It seems to me like missing the forest for the trees as well.

A stationary chunk of solid plastic will probably give off negligible micro plastics, but unless everyone is wearing 100% natural fabrics there’s going to be tons of tiny synthetic fibers floating around in the air from clothing…

The sort of prints that become part of your life are my favorite.

I still don’t understand why they thought Neelix would be the breakout character when every breakout character has been something like a Vulcan or an android who looks in on humanity from the outside and acts to comment on the human condition from the point of view of someone with a completely different way of being.

Oh and look at that! The breakout character in Voyager ended up being a former Borg struggling to deal with humanity and individuality! (People go “hot girl in catsuit” but there were plenty of hot girls in Voyager)

I guess it just goes to show that by this era the people running trek didn’t really understand it.

I dunno. I don’t really feel like the character of Star Trek fits within the typical combat game template.

The whole point of the franchise is exploration, finding out what’s out there, and expanding the realm of the possible. If I’m in charge of a Starfleet starship, I fully expect some number of my encounters to be techtech’d away or for many of the challenges to be moral rather than tactical.

The enterprise no bloody a b c or d was in constant peril, but the enterprise d was only very rarely in a situation they couldn’t shoot their way out of.

Its when you find the clitoris for the first time.

Joking aside, it’s a description of the runtime of a thing for a size of a data set. Its expressed as a function. So for example an exponential function would get longer and longer as your data set size grows, linear time has a basically proportional operating time compared to the size of the data set, and log(n) would see runtime increase very little as data set size increases.

I stand by my decision to use a duetwifi.

YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO – SNIFFFFF

Even if you’re printing with anything but PLA, you should be ventilating well, since it obviously releases chemicals into the air – you can smell it. PLA does as well, but from the smell it seems like a much different one.
