  • I had read that TPU doesn’t really like to be retracted. I did a retraction tower and it didn’t seem to make any difference really at least in the ranges I tried. I have avoid crossing perimeters on (using OrcaSlicer) with something like 350% detour but that won’t help with the archway of course since those lawyers are just completely separate pieces

    I’ll have to try the combing setting though









  • With a traditional download, examplesite.com sends a file to your computer, that’s it.

    With torrents, instead of that you download little pieces of the file from many different computers. Sometimes hundreds of different computers. Then once you’ve downloaded the file you can then start sharing pieces to other people downloading. The more people doing this, the faster the downloads will be for everyone else and the less strain it will put on each computer’s Internet connection.

    Also if not many people are seeding, there’s a danger that the file will have 0 seeders and nobody can download it at all.

    This is also why torrenting is good for privacy. Shutting down one website isn’t so hard. Shutting down hundreds of random personally owned computers is very hard.
