as of the whole DOGE thing they still very probably have de facto dictatorial control of the treasury's computer system, which they could openly assert at any time. Most people will accept this level of lawlessness rather than live through a discontinuance of critical public services.

*me defending Overwatch 1*: listen - and remember that I'm a renowned professional hater, ok - there were AT LEAST eight non-consecutive months where that game was in a really good state"

Real print time 41:16 (8:15 per whistle) on my janky old rig, and they ain't pretty but they perform just like the originals. Probably be a *little* better quality if I wasn't using up the end of some trash filament that sat outside the dry box for a year. Happy!

as an enjoyer of running up the down escalator this beauty is rarely far from my mind

I design all my 3D prints in Blender because I am a lunatic.

I went external cooling on this rig - my part fans are a pair of squirrel cages outside my enclosure blowing cool air into a hose that runs up to the print head. I'm using the air hose from one of those PAPR sleep rigs. The inlet fitting is threaded and locks the hose in like a finger trap

I'm gonna run off a batch of five of these and then I gotta print HOPEFULLY the final part iteration for my new dual head mod. I've got this whole rig I've been working on with a second hotend mounted on a teeny 50mm linear rail and moved up and down with a servo.

An Dog @everydog.bsky.social · 11h

it's barely different from the previous one tbh, just a couple dimensional tweaks to eliminate small internal wall doots, plus increased the volume difference between the two resonators 'cause it wasn't enough in the last iteration filebin.net/zr9kia2m75db...

not much left to discard on this profile

I've continued to tweak this and I think I can come in under 8 minutes per, not bad for a jalopified ender 3 pro pushing 2300mm/ss. It's optimized for 0.8mm nozzles though so I dunno how interested you are.

printing single whistles I hit the minimum layer time but in batches these take about 8:40

bsky won't take it, thingiverse says new accounts have to wait 24 hours before posting for whatever idiot reason, hmm... ok filebin! filebin.net/os0dcg0i9ni7...

It's nothing special and it takes 4cm more filament but it prints faster and better on my rig and it's slightly louder

holy shit I dunno what I changed in the design exactly but I just straight up blew my hearing out

An Dog @everydog.bsky.social · 14h

I got a pretty good print at .24 layers no infill, other than the lanyard hole. Working on a less sexy copy of the design right now that should be a little faster and more thermally sound.

An Dog @everydog.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah I'll give it a whirl as-is once I'm done with the day's wrenching. I've been running pretty exclusively 0.8mm nozzles and ABS for years so I've gotten used to never allowing any bridging or supports in my designs. If my rig doesn't like these I have a couple ideas for things it'll prefer.

An Dog @everydog.bsky.social · 16h

Oh! These print from the side! Alright, I'll still play around with it but this is a pretty good start as-is

An Dog @everydog.bsky.social · 17h

oh it's a known type of Thingian my bad obviously

An Dog @everydog.bsky.social · 17h

I'ma do a few design iterations and see if I can make a good one that doesn't require any bridging. I want to print a bunch of whistles to bring to No Kings but I've never had much luck with bridging performance.

No? The peasants are 100% gambling their lives and futures by taking shots at the rich?

An Dog @everydog.bsky.social · 17h

maybe not *just* a USA problem but it also won't be an entire world problem. Whoever benefits the most from the US isolating itself from global trade will become the next hot-spot billionaire haven.

An Dog @everydog.bsky.social · 17h

So is everybody else though. Anyway the best solution to armed peasant revolts is to be on a different continent which is pretty easy for these guys. They can run their companies remotely just fine so it's not like they have to wait for the last second to flee. If nobody cool wants them go to Russia

wasn't there some big theory about how most of the crackers who settled the south were crown royalist types in the first place and the bulk of southern politics is best understood by seeing the south as continuing that tradition

An Dog @everydog.bsky.social · 18h

I think deep down everybody wants to have a place in the world, like a role that affects others and creates an impact, except my problem is I very actively do not want that

Yarvin has attained the final level of not knowing how anything works. If somebody showed him how a world war era smg works he'd talk for a week straight trying to justify how nobody would build one today
