I am saddened to see that this thread had no mention of how many horses it takes to run a router. What do y’all think? Would one be enough? It would need to work in shifts to keep up time at 100%. Maybe 3 to be safe?

Mirror + bandaid + paperclip + packing tape = boom? It’s like a bad 80s tv show.

I kind of like to think that anyone inside thought that they drove off the crew attacking their position. Like “Ha, they are leaving, we did it. Great job everyone.
… Wait what’s that beeping sound? Do you guys here ticking?”

I am pretty sure those wires on the fpv drone was a contact sensor. That is brilliant. Simple loops that when you hit something they get pushed together.

I feel like the other side of that central plate has your answer. Pop the central screw and see what is on the other side of that discoloration.

I finally made the switch recently. Windows kept getting worse, and worse, and worse. Every day I felt like I had to fight it more to just do anything. I’ve been mainly a Windows user my entire life and I just couldn’t stand to use it any more.

I couldn’t be happier. Every game I play on steam just works. I’m installing mods and updating config files deep in the magical proton depths and it just works. A clean install of the operating system is actually a clean place to start. I’m telling everyone I know.

Sir Chad carries a twelve pounder hand cannon, and when he ignites the powder the ball sails true into the main deck of the pirate, but the recoil capsizes his vessel.

Stupid sexy Flanders.

It’s code, but without automated tests, comments, style rules, and often stored in binary files making change management a nightmare.

It’s trying to paint but you can only use your fingers and also one of the other devs ate all the red.

An amazing story, and just downright perplexing. It is a shame you never found out what on earth was going on in the CTOs head. I would love to understand the thought process (or lack thereof) that went into that.

This thread went unexpected places. I can’t even imagine the pain. I hope you keep printing little bits of joy for them.

This looks similar to a problem I was having. Turned out that my extruder wasn’t calibrated properly and it was pushing far less material then expected. Try running an extrusion test like described in https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/extruder_calibration.html

The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.
