Sweet! Are you satisfied with the results?

I’m actually leaning towards just using a silhouette, after I found out that my makerspace has one. 😅

Well, it’s probably not the fault of the species responsible for the current great extinction, is it? /s

I know. I’m seeing the lower part of the L.

Who’s “Seibniz”? /j

Yeah, you lose the friends because you have shitty life goals.

Simple solution: eat more junkfood! About 700 metric tons should suffice

My house? In this economy?

The new heating block is in transit. I’ll do some checks.

Nah, don’t worry about it. You used the correct term, which happens to have an amiguous name (you’d translate the German term to “thread-cutting drill”).

Thanks for the heads up. Is it very unadvisable to leave the PLA in the threading if nozzle and heatbreak have proper contact?

Sorry, not an english native speaker, so I didn’t know what a tap was. Good thing that context made me not google myself to death with that non-SEO friendly term (it’s the drill thing that cuts threads inno holes).

A new heating block is a bit cheaper and I got no use for a tap, so I just ordered a new one. Maybe I give the torching method a try, too before it arrives.

Anywho: I understand the hotend way better now. I guess the 4,50€ for a new heating block is worth it. (:

and you may need to run a tap through the heater block to clean the threads

I’ve cleaned the outside, but I don’t know what you mead by that. Could you explain how I fix the threading?

It is bare metal to metal surface contact.

That’s what I meant with “seal”. 😅

Thanks for the advice. Gonna implement it.

So that means I need to teardown the extruder and check the seal of the heatbreak?

Harumpf 🙄😤. It came like that. I only attached the extruder to the printer. I didn’t expect that I need to open it up.

Maybe I should have fastened the nozzle, though.

Some podcaster I know who happens to also be into some martial arts always comments that Bruce Lee was way overrated. I got no idea about that, tho, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How were they able to sue Palworld, then?

Much obliged.

I already said thatspotify doesn’t work on my phone (the homepage crashes)

How, if I can’t find out which podcast it is?

“Putting a piece of yourself” is magical thinking to me.

It’s a metaphor. You’re ndt supposed to take those literally. 🙄

Any creator will inevitably put their worldview and skill level into their art. So-called “AI” has neither.

Ai makes mistakes too

Those mistakes stem from a mathematically inaccurate model. Human mistakes tell something about the creator

people rant endlessly about how useless it is and that is what people used to call ‘slop’.

Not why it’s called “slop”, homie.

f a human making the mistake makes it desirable instead then this is once again not the reason but a justification.

Not what I said. Any detail in human art is there because a human put it there. It’s a form of (sometimes involuntary) communication that computers lack.

But that’s the issue, you don’t know what oop prompted to make this. They could have been arbitrarily simple or elaborate with what they asked and you couldn’t tell beyond that they were happy with this result enough to post it. And I’d argue the amount of intent in a prompt is still independent of its length as they could’ve tried longer descriptions and found that the results of shorter ones align with what they seek better.

Again: not what I said. I’m saying that the intent behind so-called “AI art” starts and ends with the used prompt.

I choose to believe the joke came from them and given that this is an internet meme that exists to deliver the joke, I don’t dwell on the visuals.

Then you choose to be complicit in the normaliztion of so-called “AI art”, which leads to tangible problems in the real world.
