I literally just got my Saturn 4 ultra two weeks ago, it prints PERFECTLY right out of the box. I literally did nothing to set it up. I'm so used to my CR10 needing to be babysat it was shocking how well the prints come out.

I have heard of them losing their Z position and ramming the build plate into the reservoir repeatedly, but that the only problem I have really heard of them having.

Maybe yours has a defect?

And those employees are sometimes literally fighting for their lives.

I did! And you have no idea, those damn horses can be scary. We had one a while back (total asshole of a horse) that kept escaping and walking on the streets, I had to walk it back one day, it decided very abruptly that is was terrified of the gate. It started rearing up and shit.

I panicked because we were right in the gateway and I was very close to it. I just knew I had to get it back in so the first thing I thought to do was punch it in the face.. it worked. We sold him very shortly after that.

My wife likes to sculpt model horses for fun and she wanted some base heads that she could attach and sculpt/paint over. So I made her some of these little guys.

I should have recorded while I was testing it, once I replaced the base plate, I will absolutely record it!

I built a pneumatic can crusher, but I wasn't satisfied with with just crushing it, I wanted to flatten them. So I put it it on a lever, it has ~2.4 mechanical advantage. So it goes from ~160lbs from the cylinder to about 400lbs on the "squishy plate".

Unfortunately, I was a little too hardcore, after a few tests, it managed to bend the entire base. Once I can get a some thicker metal I will put it back together.

Why do this? Because I have a tiny furnace and a mountain of cans that I melt down and cast into random shit.

I absolutely support this, but why cant we as a society end subminimum wages period?

Putting everything else aside, can you imagine being them in 2016? Doubling your income in a year.. by more than a million fucking dollars!?

That would be absolutely mind blowing.. I think getting 4-5k a year would be exciting..

I'm a freight conductor and yard shifts have similar times. For example, tomorrow my shift is 06:32-14:32. They never explain why, you just show up when you're told.

The annoying one starts at 23:57.

Testing out high resolution stuff, this hefty jeff is the background on my 4k 3840x2160 monitors. I am actually really pleased with the result.
