I felt seen for a moment, but then you walked it back. Sad.

I re-purpose sooo many things, and use so much random crap for projects when my budget won’t allow completing them, but frankensteining my backlog will.

Came here to say, bump it to 24-72 hours without sleep for maximum results. “maximum”<> “good”, but you never know until you try.

Reminds me of Massoud Hayoun’s When We Were Arabs. Jews being welcomed and protected by their Arab neighbors(and family!) in Palestine is one of the many truths that Israel/the West wants everyone to forget.

Gotta trick the kids into thinking its just a bunch of vertical lines at first.

If the bearing were loose on the shaft, this would be a different conversation entirely.

If adjustment/refinement of the fit in the housing were out of the question, it shouldn’t be made out of plastic, but even in the world of metal-cutting machine tools, adjustment is often neccessary, and if a shim, spacer or set-screw does the job, its what is done.

Meanwhile, my own suggestion was, first, the upgrade kit.

You should, on higher-resolution monitors, or with high-dpi mice. Indispensible for touchpads, eraser nubs, and trackballs.

It exists on all operating systems, just seemlessly-enough to escape notice. Try turning it off, and you’ll see why.

Resin isn’t that cheap either. Then there’s shipping. That said, if shimming works for test-prints, it may work for this. Personally, I can’t believe there’s not a wedge-centering end-cap or set-screws for dialing in the centering of the bearing just-so, but I’m no expert on this printer.

No skin off my back. Sorry, I honestly wasn’t meaning to call you out personally, beyond maybe, hey, this is how to do this next time.

I may just look into whether I can set this community to ding my notifications for new posts … apparently that’s not a thing in the webUI.

Honestly, I was thinking post-approval by mods would be the best solution, for just that reason. Its why I led with the question about the existance of mods. Obviously too much work if its just the single mod who started the community.

Is there no moderation in this sub? An instance-agnostic link should be the bare minimum, not the exception.

Epoxy isn’t cheap, unless you have it on-hand already or buy in-bulk. So you can burn ten-or-so-dollars on an epoxy fix that might or might not work as desired, or $40 on an upgrade that should.

That said, are you sure the printer is otherwise in good working order? Have you tried shimming that bearing and running a test print?

Reasons I keep old installer-ISOs, tbh

Nah. I wasn’t even trying to be witty there, just honest. The high-road seems pretty treacherous from my prefered vantage points.

Laughing at sad attempts at cruelty is so much more satisfying.

Idk? Why does mod involvement taste like a spicy desert? Sadly I don’t write the rules. I’m just in here looking for easter eggs.

Unclear, but they are saying it will affect side-loaded apps, and no way to bypass with Developer Options, so I would assume so.

Speak for yourself. Being choosy with clients and jobs is a good chunk of the reason I work for myself, when I could instead be making/tweaking/re-designing the carbon-fiber exteriors for predator drones for about 3 times the income.

I loved everything I saw of that workshop, except the clients and the end product. I prefer to be able to sleep at night.
