    You’re getting downvoted to oblivion, but I do see and agree with your point: “Branding matters”

    A significant portion of the population will not rub two brain cells together to understand the “warming -> change” connection, as reasonable as it is. Same thing with the “defund the police” slogan. Yes, when you understand the concept you can see the meaning, but for those that don’t bother to understand the concept, the “brand name” is the beginning and the end of thought applied. When the “brand name” is easily attackable, the idea is dead so far as they’re concerned.

    As frustrating as it is, persuasive arguments need to also appeal to those who are persuaded by quips and jokes as well as those who are persuaded by logic and reason. Unfortunately “Global Warming”, the “old brand” is still sticking around, and still able to be joked away by many people, hence the reason for the image post in the first place.


  • Winner winner chicken dinner! This is EXACTLY what happened. I reprinted again after tightening belts, fixing bed wobble, and re-leveling, and kept a closer eye on it this time. The nozzle was indeed catching on that “Y” support due to the edge curling up. Wasnt enough to kill the print this time, but enough to make me nervous…

    Ironically, the thing I’m printing is an all-in-one case so that I can segregate the PSU, main board, pi, and controls from the printer itself to enclose it and have better temp control!

    I’ve never liked dealing with excel for anything other than manual work. It’s data integrations have grown beyond my familiarity, and I’ve never liked any of the python libraries I’ve used for reading and writing excels formats. Go accessible with something like CSV, and you lose most things of value that excel can offer.

    Currently though, this is my strategy. I’ve got folders of Excel sheets that I manually add exports of various things to, but I’m missing the piece that ties it all together, and I’d sure love to do less of the work manually.


  • Not entirely, just for some features, including data export past a certain date iirc. I probably will wind up doing just that though if I cannot figure out how to get the data off my phone. Right now the phone app is the only place I can even see that the data exists, so I’m slightly afraid of changing anything in mfp lest it ‘sync’ my data out of existence 😕
