A patchwork of things has helped me acquire and maintain a more balanced life. I’d say the largest contributor was adopting ‘radical acceptance’ as a way of life. Basically, I’m constantly, consciously accepting whatever is happening to me. It doesn’t mean I don’t try to change things but it means that I’m not always resisting everything.
About one out of every five home loans at three big Canadian banks are now negatively amortizing, which happens when years get added to the payment term of the original loan because the monthly payments are no longer enough to cover anything but the interest.
Unless monthly payments on renting from the bank are lower than renting from someone else it’s a worse deal. If you rent you don’t need to worry about things like replacing roof, windows, etc.
Also, if you rent you’re more free to pick up and leave vs. being tied to a mortgage.
Horse shit. No one gets that wealthy without making some anti climate decisions. That class of people have the power to make significant sacrifice for the better while normal folks have the power to make very tiny sacrifices.
Not saying we shouldn’t all be doing our best but at this point in time the ones with power are steering the ship.
For a lot of people it does have to be that way though. I just saw an article claiming 7 million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. They can’t really decide to take the more expensive climate friendly way. A billionaire could absolutely decide to do that though.

Feels like a lot of culture creep. Some of these wing nuts talk about the first amendment as if we have that here. Some of them also seem to think that our Prime Minister has presidential powers. I think the “fuck Trudeau” flags are a rip off of the “fuck Biden” flags too.
I started resin printing a couple months ago. I had some of those layer problems too. I found that I need way more supports than I thought I needed at the beginning. This is a pretty good guide on supoorts. Alternately Ive been using lychee slicer’s auto supports. They seem to work well for the most part.
I also just recently did some exposure tests. It takes a while because each test is about 20 minutes but it turns out I was under exposing my prints so things are better now.
Lastly I replaced the usb stick the printer came with. I highly recommend doing this right away, a bad stick can do weird things. I got two 64gb Kingston data travellers for $10 Canadian. It’s well worth it.
Haven’t had the layer issues since I did these things and, fingers crossed, I haven’t had a failed print since either.
Good call on a deep clean. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. I think it’s a lot of trial and error for most people at the beginning.
That piece on the FEP sheet is where it let go from the supports when the build plate lifted. More support will probably fix that.
I always think about what’s happening when I’m doing supports. The resin gets cured on the FEP then the build plate moves up and pulls that layer off the FEP. The part is being pulled by forces in opposite directions so we need to make sure that the part hanging on to the build plate is sufficiently anchored so it’ll pop off the FEP and not off the build plate.
“Percentage grades make it possible to differentiate between good work and excellent work more precisely than vague descriptors such as ‘emerging’ and ‘developing,”
This is a dumb take. No one in grade k-9 needs more specificity than the four labels coupled with teacher input. I suspect the people who are against this change are simply against change.
I guess not. I just went to their site out of curiosity. I couldn’t find any policy statements. Just a vague mission statement type thing.
Update: they have a policy document from 2021 under their ‘governing documents’ heading on the website. The document doesn’t address this issue at all.
I’m a parent too and I agree with you for the most part. I’m woefully under qualified for this job and I’m very grateful for the professionals and other adults in my youth’s lives. We’re very much missing the ‘village’ part of raising kids.
Hello everyone! As it says in the title, I very recently bought my first 3D printer, the Elegoo Mars 4 Max. Two days ago, I did my first test print, and it came out pretty good (although maybe a bit too hard, but details looked sharp). The only problem was that I somehow got an error message in the end ("error printing file data...
I’m not 100% sure because I’m fairly new as well but I’d try going with 25 seconds for the bottom layers and adding a bit of wait time before lifting.
It looks like your bottom layers did fine but maybe the normal layers didn’t adhere properly to the bottom layers. That could explain why you had some sticking to the FEP.
I’d also make sure the FEP sheet is is good shape. No big scratches or dents.
Reducing the time won’t help with adhesion to the build plate but an overexposed layer might make the following layer less likely to adhere correctly. I always do 25sec on my bottom layers and never have adhesion problems so I figured it could work for you too.
Check out Formlabs resin printers. They have special resins that may do what you need. They also have sales people on staff to walk you through everything.
They’re pretty pricey for a hobbyist (at least for this hobbyist) but a business may be ok with it.
They are indeed support marks. I’ve already messed with orientation and this is the position with the least marks so far. I haven’t really messed with support settings yet. Thanks for the idea.
Appreciate that detailed explanation. I probably should have put something in the picture for scale. This is about 2.5cm in diameter. Not sure I could get a buffing tool small enough to be useful.
Everything I found said that cured resin is inert. I did see that there are biocompatible resins out there but they seem to be mostly used in dental applications. I’ll keep searching though.

I’m a casual follower of politics. If an article like this pops up on my (formerly Reddit) Lemmy home feed I’ll often give it a scan.
Maybe someone who pays more attention can correct me but it seems that when PP makes a statement that’s conspiratorial he’ll refuse to answer questions about it. Am I wrong about that? Does he ever answer difficult questions or even try to dodge them without a script?
I’m curious if you could imagine any information that would shift your position on any of your ideas? I’m not trying to be a dick, genuinely wondering.
