On my direct drive Voron I could make it through retraction tower test prints fine with TPU, but it would always jam with retraction enabled on longer prints with my usual 0.3mm. Pulling apart the extruder would always reveal some TPU had gotten wrapped around the drive gear. Rather than try tuning until the failure went away, I just went with 0 lol.
I’m still using my pixel 3a, which I bought in 2019. It is the 64 GB variant (I think base was 32 GB) and cost me $340. It’s still doing its phone thing pretty well, but it can get a bit warm scrolling the modern bloated web without an ad-blocker running. I really don’t see a reason to upgrade right now.
My wife has a 6a and I recently had to open it up to replace it’s internal speaker that failed.
Some succulents grow in such… seemingly unsustainable ways for the mother plant. I guess ultimately these are all some kind of propagation strategy for the plant though.
Alloe will overground their pots with tons of babies and fall over when they get too big.
Our big jade will intentionally dry out the center of some of its smaller branches to make the ends of the branch fall off in hopes of rooting.
I guess this is why the plants have been successful. It does make for some level of struggle as a house plant though, lol.
I want to know more about the out of focus back. Specifically what seem to be some pretty beefy speakers.
Thanks for the recommendations, I will check everything out!
Viking metal eh? I recently found Brothers of Metal and they’re banging. What else do you recommend?
It looks like the answer is yes - you can grow a normal plant from each leaf!

Not a succulent expert by any means, but the fact that it’s growing some air roots and the dropped leaves also are trying to root also seems to point to not enough water.
We have a big jade that will air root when it’s too dry. Before it gets to that point it’s leaves will look noticeably less plump.
Succulents do require watering, but it’s very important to not overdo it. Our Jade is probably only watered ever two months or so when it’s outside (on an east facing porch in zone 6) during the summer and even less frequently in the winter. I know it well enough to be able to eyeball the plant at this point.
If you intend on keeping it, why care about lineage of the brand? If it’s well made, of decent material, and fits the vast majority of the populus will neven consider/care what brand it is.
For better or worse, there are multiple ways of measuring “American Made”. An alternate measure, which probably matters more in this conversation, is “how many people that worked on <product> are American residents”. Here’s a study that tries to rank each model by how much it contributes to the US economy
The vast majority of the development (engineering, planning, purchasing/supply chain, quality, after sales, etc) effort for Honda and VW is overseas, along with most other non-domestic brands. This extends beyond their own employees to their tier 1s. Many OEMs use suppliers that are located geographically close to their development centers.
None of this excuses the domestic OEMs for their abandonment of cars, their endless march to higher and higher average transaction price, or their quality records.
If it’s heat it could also be a cooling thing. If you search the web on your search engine of choice for “<printer name> driver overheat” you’ll see what solutions the community has already come up with.
If the print didn’t come off the bed, I don’t think adjusting z-offset will help. As prints get taller, if you’re running into issues with warping the corners will start to curl up.
Your printer definitely missed some x or y steps. Whether that was due to your drivers getting too hot and just that, or the extruder running into the print. Have you ever seen your printer do this:
How did you remove the pineapple last year? Cut the whole stalk off at the plant , right below the pineapple, something else?
It looks like you missed some x and/or y steps, which made the printer lose its orientation and make a lot of spaghetti.
Possible causes usually involve warping, the nozzle catching the wrapped up piece, and then your printer missing some steps.
Have you completed a large print before?
If nothing’s changed since you last print, including the filament, I would suspect a jam/clog. Is the extruder clicking?
lol, missed it 😂
I’m guessing I’ma green bean that was left to fully mature. Let the green hulls dry out, shell the dry ones like any other bean, and cook them!
I wonder how they calculated the range. If it’s representative of the real world drive cycle these will experience, the estimate might not be too far off. A postal route is constant low speed stop and go. Regen is much more effective at higher speeds, so they’re probably dumping most of their kenetic energy to hear via friction brakes. Suspect their drive cycle is going to be something like an endless cycle of 25 kw acceleration, rest, 25 kw acceleration, rest, etc.
Bonsai burl? I didn’t realize those were a thing, but now that you said it of course that’s a thing.
TIL there’s a slicer called Lychee Slicer.
Sounds like a hot mess. Are you looking for a alternative? If yes, provide info but my off the cuff recommendation for a FDM printer is Orca Slicer.
