Leveling up in Final Fantasy XIV is easy. Just play the story and you’ll reach max level by the time you finish it.
These items are intended for players who create an alt and who wish to skip most of the stury if they already played it.
Also reaching max level is kind of where the game begins (raids, dungeons, gearing up, etc).
Also 500,000 Gil is pocket change…
I use multiple materials from multiple brands, so yes, I do some calibration for each filaments.
I usually limit myself to the flow factor by printing a cube in vase mode and then adjust by ±2% after a print if I feel like it is needed.
For the temperatures, I go for the normal recommended values (200°C hot end and 60°C bed for PLA) without any calibration, unless there is a problem. (I think last time I printed one was for ABS because it kept curling up…)
Retraction and Linear advance seems to always give roughly the same value for each type of materials, so I ended up using an average which work well enough.
As a non IT guy, I can say the same. Feels like the ship is sinking.
Still haven’t found another job without a massive pay cut…
The head of IT where I work quit on the spot during a meeting with the president of the company because the president wouldn’t agree with any security measure IT wanted to put in place because they were too expansive, and also because he was fedup of being micro-managed by someone who’s only achievement was being the child of the founder. That was a couple months after being hit with a ransomware that made us lose rougly 10 years of data. (IT had no budget to implement proper backups and everything)
Then the whole IT department left the company the same week.
That was a year ago. They tried hiring new IT staff, they keep leaving because the president still micro-manage them.
Edit : I still work there, I’m not in IT, and I never have to deal with the shenanigans of the president. Only thing that changed as far as I know is that they changed the structure of our file servers, and we are slightly more restricted than before, but we still all have access to way too much files on there and we still all have admin rights on our laptops, so anyone can install anything.
Same happened for me on Lemmy.ca… I just tried to login and it worked. Never received the e-mail.
According to a post on the 3dprinting subreddit that was recommending different budget options, they were not recommending the Ender 3 anymore because QA would have in fact went down like you said. (Their name is made, they can cut cost to increase profits now…)
They were only recommending it if you went for the Ender 3 S1 since it had more features than the base Ender 3 / Pro / V2.
I have an older Ender 3 Pro that I modded quite a bit over the years and would also agree this is more a machine if you want to tinker with it. One important thing to note is that almost no upgrades will result in higher print quality when compared to a well tuned base Ender 3. The mods simply made it a bit more reliable IMO or reduce how often I need to calibration it.
I also agree that if you don’t want to tinker with it, get something else. It will be more expensive upfront but if you take a cheaper printer that you mod over time, the cost will end up being similar. But it’s a decision hard to make if you are not sure you will like the hobby, and an Ender 3 or other similar budget printer can still be OK without modding if you don’t mind the limitations.
And if I were to buy a new printer today, I’d definitely go for something better with more features built in that I wouldn’t have to mod to achieve the same functionality.
I think I have seen Crosscode before but never really looked into it. Looks like a great game. Currently 70% off and there’s a demo on Steam. Will give it a try tonight!
I have used Lepage / Loctite Super Gel Control with great success on PLA.
Someone in another post suggested Blossom Tales, I’m 2 hours into the first game (which is $4 CAD on sale on Steam) and while it is an obvious Zelda clone, they made some interesting changes and the game is fun.
I printed a case for a small PC that I user as a home server 3 years ago, and I used the cheapest PLA out there. No warping, nothing broke. It is cooled by a single 80mm.
As long as there’s enough airflow to prevent the PLA from actually heating up, it will be fine.
