I’d love a hitchhiker’s crossover where Marvin gets assimilated and his depression grinds the Borg to a halt

Well that’s one way to plug your memory leaks

Hah I totally whispered that line in the theater when it came out! The Matrix had come out recently so you just couldn’t unsee it.

Boards are fiberglass at their core so most cutting tools work just fine—hacksaw, jigsaw, dremel, bandsaw. It’s abrasive though so a note of caution that it will wear out cutters quicker

Isn’t this game made by the same person/group that did QWOP and GIRP? Man I miss girp that was the first and only game I tried speedrunning.

Does that top surface feel ridged? To me this looks more like an issue with either overextrusion or z offset too low than temperature.

(Apologies for ChatGPT, I’m not a great writer, but I couldn’t help but imagine what this would be like haha)

INT. KLINGON QUARTERS - DAY

Gowron, the fierce Klingon leader, stands before an easel with a paintbrush in hand. Worf, the stoic Klingon warrior, reluctantly joins him.

GOWRON (roaring) Today, Worf! We paint the glory of battle, the splatter of blood on our blades!

Worf scowls but follows Gowron's lead, dipping his brush into the vibrant red paint.

GOWRON (CONT'D) (roaring) Now, Worf, let the brush roar like a disruptor, leaving chaos in its wake!

Worf hesitates, then starts applying the paint with a fierce stroke.

GOWRON (CONT'D) (roaring) Excellent! Let the canvas be a battleground, where each stroke is a strike against our enemies!

Gowron continues with his Klingon interpretation of Bob Ross's techniques, creating a chaotic masterpiece. Worf struggles to keep up.

WORF (grumbling) This is not the way of warriors, Gowron. We do not paint. We conquer!

GOWRON (roaring with laughter) But, Worf! Conquer your canvas, let the colors scream like a victorious war cry!

Worf grumbles, attempting to make his battlefield scene more ferocious.

GOWRON (CONT'D) (roaring) Remember, Worf! Each brushstroke is like the roar of a targ, wild and untamed!

Worf, frustrated, accidentally smears paint across his forehead while brushing his hair back. Gowron bursts into laughter.

GOWRON (CONT'D) (roaring with laughter) See, Worf? Even the mishaps become battle scars on the canvas!

Worf glares at Gowron, the painting resembling a chaotic battle scene mixed with unintentional comic elements.

WORF (displeased) This is not the Klingon way, Gowron.

GOWRON (grinning) (roaring) Ah, but Worf! Sometimes, the true warrior finds honor in unexpected places. Art knows no limits!

I did something similar. I would get about as far as writing the interesting mechanic/game logic and then give up.

Another vote for prusa here. The recently added organic supports are really awesome. It’s enabled me to print some things I previously would not have attempted.

You guys have projects that end??

Yeah seriously. The day news of this broke, I switched my book library over to Calibre+DeDRM and put my device in airplane mode.

In my experience the hole that the thermistor goes into isn’t in the path of the filament. So probably what’s happening is either the nozzle or the tube that screws into the other side of the heater block is loose, allowing melted plastic to escape through a place other than the tip of the nozzle.

After you’ve cleaned it out, what I like to do before running filament through again is to turn the hot end on, let it come up to temp, then tighten the nozzle a bit more. The joint expands when heated so even if you’ve got it right at room temp it can still need tightening at the working temperature.
