I would take it as a compliment even though it wasn’t meant that way. Your writing is so thoroughly organized that people assume a tool wrote it instead.

Amazing for its time. Having a portable version of it was extra great

Definitely. Perhaps the only good use of those movies.

You’d be surprised. I worked for Blockbuster Video multiple times, and there was a population of customers who LOVED the ripoff versions of movies. Snakes On A Train for instance.

I asked one of these customers one time what the draw of these movies was because he knew that they weren’t the originals. He told me that they served as something he could put on in the background and not feel guilty about only half paying attention to it.

I guarantee that guy is streaming that same garbage constantly today.

You shouldn’t feel shame. You’re just part of the club now. It seems to me that borking your system using a terminal is just a right of passage

Let’s not absolve HR from their hand in this process. They’re the ones that setup ATSs based on keywords they don’t understand, and they’re the ones that do initial contact and interviews, in general anyway.

I’ve worked at quite a few organizations at this point in my life, and only rarely did a hiring manager get more say than a choice among the pre-selected pool that HR provided. When that wasn’t the case for me, it was because the company or organization was too small to have a full team handling HR stuff. Once it was the company’s accountant (sweet lady though).

You’re not wrong, but HR doesn’t really add much to this process when the people with the experience and understanding to choose better employees don’t get to participate until a second round.

Any guides out there on how to do this?

Isn’t it obvious which tool you use to give you a guide?

Yeah but they’re the ones hiring all the incompetent employees

If they do, then may the old gods and the new have mercy on your hole

Soon to be shitting bricks, eh?

Agreed, except Isaac Hayes never wanted to quit. The fucking Scientologists did it “for him” while he was incapacitated in the hospital. Reportedly, Hayes loved doing the show and wouldn’t have quit on his own.

Trey and Matt have simply said that they miss their friend.

There’s a lot of variability in materials, even before you get into the “+” or “pro” versions.

I’ve been printing Voron parts in ASA plastic for the last several weeks, and some of what I’ve used smells very strong but prints best on the cool part of the range, others smell hardly at all but print better hot. (I’m filtering fumes, worry not)

Yeah PETG does require different temperatures than PLA. Glad you got it sorted

If nothing else already suggested works for you, let your printer bed warm up to temperature and sit for a while (“heat soak”).

If you have auto bed leveling, what can happen is that thermal expansion will change your bed level after the probe has run, so by the time the first layer is printing, calibration is off. Granted, this is less likely with PLA, but like I said, if nothing else works.

We can agree it’s expensive and dumb.

The $600 SV08 doesn’t include the enclosure, and I bought my 350 Formbot kit for less than $800 with shipping.

I’m currently printing parts for a Voron on a Prusa MK3S. The fact that I can make another printer using a printer is still such a cool concept.

I was a homebrewer for many years, and a huge portion of us wanted to go pro or did.

Most weren’t prepared for what it meant to turn a hobby into a profession. It’s a really good way to turn something you love into a chore.

Printers are now closer to appliances than custom machines, and there are no shortage of them available.

So no, you’re not wrong to want to start a business. You would be facing a tough market though.

I agree, but with exceptions. More complicated projects made of several separate parts (especially ones not 100% 3D printed) can be hella cool.

Heat set screw inserts, embedded hardware (nuts, magnets, springs), electronics, etc. can all be used to create toys that can’t be purchased.

How do you feel about building a printer?

The SV08 is basically a Voron 2.4, and while I think that it’s not bad for the money, for close to the same amount you can buy a Formbot 2.4R2 350mm kit.

A standard Voron 2.4 build will be easier to add a tool changer to compared to a SV08 (efforts are ongoing though). It runs mainline Klipper, which will also open up a myriad of other options. The Voron is much more of a project though.
