I would have guessed the same as others that it was interactions between the nozzle and the bed or some texture on the bed. Especially since we don’t see any normal extrusion lines which are normal on the first layer.

Since you’re confident it’s not, are there artifacts elsewhere on your prints that might be a clue? Is there anything going on with your nozzle? Maybe some wear, chips,or inconsistent flow? If you print just the first layer what does it look like from the top? Does it help describe what we’re seeing?

That doesn’t exist in the mobile nightly.

But honestly that’s no problem and I hadn’t noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.

Read the headline and thought “there’s a catch…”

Finally got around to reading the post and Microsoft is very politely saying “we’ve completed stealing their shit now. Don’t know why anyone would want it, use ours now. You can have it though.”

Thanks I guess? I’m glad it’s out of their hands now and with an open source group that cares and can make a difference.

Watched this a while back and my take away way it might.

The larger photo shows a lot of wear on the end compared to the new nozzle (the flat area on the top is larger). It’s hard to tell from the photos but in my experience this generally correlates to a widened nozzle diameter and decreased print quality.

You think it’ll take that long? Seems optimistic.

Misread the summary to say data driven delusions and that seems accurate.

Being as this is very similar to the apple epic legal fight that epic lost earlier this year, I doubt apple will make a deal. My understanding is that patreon can cave, choose to pay 27% commission, or make their own store.

Though skimming the news around epic’s attempts to make a store, you “can” make a store in compliance with EU and UK laws, but apple made it kinda impossible to actually do and epic is fighting it in court again?

So patreon seems to have read the lay of things and said I guess we just have to make the best of a shitty situation and communicate everything to try to limit the pain.

It’s almost like apple feels like they have the power to do whatever they want because they’ve created a market where they don’t have competition…

Surprised consultants are pushing the latest fad? No it’s what businesses want to hear.

Concerned they’re pushing the bubble? No more than the rest of it.

Worried a machine will be lying to me about timelines instead of a person? That’s innovation for you I guess.

Great work. This is how you really unlock the potential of your printer!

When we visited Europe a number of years ago I had to learn stick and we all practiced quite a bit because renting an automatic wasn’t reasonable. It’s actually pretty hard to find a manual to learn on and not all learner agencies even have one.

Don’t think half the comments understand what the Chromecast is…

Interested in finding out more about fcast now though.

Maybe. I actually have a dehydrator I use with plenty of airflow.

But I think that only solves part of the problem because that makes it really good at drying the outside but it’s still going to have trouble past the first couple layers. I think the fact moisture would also have a hard time penetrating means current options work well enough.for most people.

Anecdotally I can support this, recently I had a particularly old roll of petg that I dried for a larger print and later in the print started getting all stringy and messy.

People that lived through getting kicked off XP are like “w11 interface is fine. I’ve been through worse”

Yeah, I’m definitely interested to see some experiments. I was surprised it worked as well as it did but if it does it’d be super useful

Wonder if you could use some sort of buffer system to extend the time in the dryer

Using my decades of experience in how programming and compilers works and the fact Mozilla has used it to great effect and how it is being used for parts of the Linux kernel… Yeah just a general statement it doesn’t make any sense.

Maybe they aren’t effective at designing software with the paradigms of the language or they don’t like it but the given explanation doesn’t track.

The web being too object oriented for rust? Assuming that made sense, who wrote the dang language? If that’s true I’m even less confident they know what they’re doing then I was before.

Yeah similar but when I’ve tried a lot of the UI ends up looking wrong. Bad font or UI colors, etc.

Not hating on freecad, I like it and they’re working hard, just want to make clear it’s not fair to suggest a normal person could make it look the same.

Additional note. It’s a weird discussion. My understanding is development is flowing back and forth with the intention of ondsel being mostly a set of pro cloud plugins. Use what you like today because you can swap tomorrow.

Some of the nightlies are actually ahead of ondsel in features actually. But while you can get close, the theme and UI changes don’t work very well in freecad. You might be able to write some plugins to do it but I haven’t seen them.
