3D printers can move very fast. They typically don’t because it causes all kinds of deformations in the print. Mostly the issues are in acceleration, decelaration, cornering, and controlling the heat snd flow of melting filament.

I don’t know whether or not the accelerometer thing can be done in real time, or if there would be any benefit.

Check out the 2-minute Benchy for an example of how fast a 3D printer can get. This is a test print that typically should take about 45 minutes to an hour at very basic settings.

But also note the quality of the end product. It looks pretty awful. If we could print accurately at even remotely similar speeds, it would be fantastic.

That kid is back on the escalator again!

Some games are also just well-optimized. Definitely more of a gaming GPU, but when I had a 1070Ti in my rig, I could run Doom 2016 at 4k at well over 60fps

In Quebec we often call them “crottes de fromage” which literally translates to cheese turds.

I’ve been using a Pinecil which is USB-C powered. It heats up in seconds and the temp can be adjusted easily. The big plus to me is how small it is. It’s so much easier to handle than a standard iron, and the tips are push-in and can be locked with a screw so they’re easy to swap.

Woop woop, that’s the sound of the police

Zucchini is shaped like a penis. It doesn’t get any more manly than that.

650,000 centuries, yes.
