It printed beautifully externally, absolutely zero complaints. Tweaked the insides with a sharp edged ruler and that's it. The original PLA cover fit like a glove. No need to tweak anything given the results, so I hit reprint right away. Back to sleep!

Well, the fan in the 0,4mm.nozzle kinda died? spins freely and doesn't throw an error, but started making an awful noise while spinning. Will save it for extreme need, but in the mean time I just stole the fan from the 0,8mm nozzle. Also, compared it to a.different nozzle and it definitely spins sliiightly less freely. It is possible to change the bearings, so I may do that for fun (ceramic ones? 🤣) Definitely buying spares in the future.

Well, my plan of using my morning well, went to shit and I just slept over my alarms. Oh well, shit happens. Let's put 4 covers to print now.

The single reel feeder has been setup (I have procrastinated for way too long on that) The PPA-CF has been dried (85ºC @ 9h) Now the adventure begins:

Hmm...I just made the whole thing much larger (like 60mm longer) And also, I'm putting the rear slots slightly more vertical to ease printing.

33 minutes left. I went to sleep a while ago, but woke up hungry. Really tempted to wait it out so I can just hit reprint while the printer is still hot and ready, so tomorrow Incan have ready a pair of units. Then I can later print 4 covers in one go and match quantities. The sloped part does suffer a bit, bit I think I can live with that. I could probably tweak the print for an even flow pattern, but I don't know how to do that. 🤣

HMM...how thrustworthy is this cobalt free dessicant? I know the orange-green one is safe, but I really don't like the colors, I know my brain is going to go "Green, that's good" and forget.

I just had to remake this from scratch because my bearings where not the ones the original designer used. Mildly annoying.

It's been a while since I postd anything wind turbine related. Holy shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL_MgUakQSc

Me: My back hurts a little, must have lifted something wrong yesterday.

Also me: LET'S PLAY BEATSABER AFTER A FEW YEARS

I did normal songs, nothing insane, tho. :D

Honestly, feels liberating to just be able to play without concern or fear of retaliation/reprimand/silent treatment.

Okay, my next step is actually learning to leviwand while riding the EUC.
That's gonna surely turn heads.

Definitely can't afford a led leviwand yet, so I'll probably train with a stick anyway.

Diverting from yesterday's tone, here's something funny.

A few days ago it was the birthday of the first person I met from the rpg club, and somehow, my two brain cells managed to bounce against eachother AND spark. I barely know the person, but there are some common themes I could pick up from, so, since I was at work, I quickly bodged this:

Laser over spray painted aluminium leftover of apropriate size.

It's not much, but it reminded me for a brief while, how my brain used to operate.

So, that's more or less how this is gonna be. I may move the small compressor to the ground, next to the small UPS And I should probably make a second drawer like I have for the AMS, to fully access all the things when I have all the toolings in there. I also should get some sort of reservoir for the compressor, not sure what to do about that, tho.

As expected, the wood swelled up and the legs separated from the board. My other table did the same, it got back to normal...in...a month or two?...can't remember exactly.

@brettm It's just "some" steel so the concrete block has something to grab onto, this won't see any loads in it's life.

@robryk@social.wuatek.is It's mostly two things. 1: To avoid the table to act as a resonant chamber with the wood surface and the small space below it. 2: High frequencies don't like massive things, and milling at 13krpm is gonna generate noise in said range, adding "as much weight" as possible within realistic times, will always help. Note I said "mass damper" and not "tuned mass damper", the second one would be calculated for specific frequencies, as you suggest.

@f4grx@chaos.social Well, after all, the wood only got wet on one side, and given the board parts grain, it can only swell up in one direction. I'll report back when I see it goes back to shape.

@johnmclear@mastodon.green Ah, no, the board sits on thick plastic, it's not directly on the ground, but it's transparent. :D

Ex is gonna be out of town for a week, guess who started reorganizing the house not even 10 minutes after she left.

I am fucking tired of having living space breadcrumbs.

I moved around the bed and pink drawer and brought her chair.

Yes, all the shit in the bed was ON the drawer, preventing me from using sections I was supposed to be able to use.

I am bringing the glass table to the bedroom. (with all the the shit on top, that it's also hers, never cleans it up, she uses MY table when wfh.

I have no idea what this means: I mean, I get the managed homeserver (too expensive for me) but what's that 30€ yearly other thing?
