Lucky for that light, its perception of those nippy 8 minutes was basically instantaneous.

And now I’m wondering how temperature could even exist when traveling at the speed of light - there’s no local time for heat to manifest, let alone be felt, right?

Prusa Open Sources a Solution for Smart Filament Tagging

The brand, conspicuous in its non-use of RFID for filament tagging, has released OpenPrintTag, an open source solution to cross-printer writable spool data that anyone can use.

Kids these days don't know how easy they have it.

67? Bah! We had to wait for an adult to say a number slightly larger than 9,000 before we'd get to break out our meme.

Do you realize how rare that was?

Solving #cat fostering challenges with #3dprinting!

I'm currently fostering a young cat named Chabi whose desire to live under a bed cannot be blocked by mere boxes or pillows.

Solution: Scrap parts from the 3D Printed shelving system (Printy Panels) I designed last year!

Oh hey - the original Dummy 13 model was posted two years ago today.

…

What would you want to see in a version 2.0?

Been printing thousands of these (at least 5kg of PETG so far).

What are they? I'll get around to sharing that eventually :)

These will be part of a giveaway next time I make it to a maker fair or RepRap festival.

I experience this constantly with everything from names to abstract principles.

Dunbar's number? 150 comes to mind without effort. But I'll struggle for hours to recall the name "Dunbar".

The only saving grace is when a word has a simple etymology I can reconstruct, which isn't the same as recall.

Looks like I might be wrong and we're getting BETTER than what I was willing to accept... I wouldn't complain.

While I like the full tool changer solution of the XL, IDEX seems to make a lot of sense for this format.

I have too many perfectly functioning Prusa MK3 & MK4 3D printers to justify buying a Core One...

But if they ever released a version of the Core One with 2 printheads, well, I'd find a way to convince myself to upgrade/replace them all.

Thank you! Been working on a couple things I hope to share soon :)

It's been quite a year.

Boring answer, but I really like Inland's Bone White. I don't know what it is about that specific color, but it prints better than every other shade.

Absolutely relatable. I hope the creative muses kick back in for you!

I've posted a requested update to one of my #3dprinted mini monster models.

The Mini Skeleton now has a 3rd pose: double pointed fingers. It's perfect for balancing multiple skulls at the same time!

www.printables.com/model/100769...

Photo of two 3D printed skeletons.

The skeleton on the left is printed at 200% scale.

The skeleton on the right is the default scale, but instead of having a single skull on its shoulders, the skeleton is holding one skull in each hand.

A third skull is sitting alone on the table.
